Thursday, the 30th of April. Welcome, everybody, to the Totally Football Show here in the studio. Jack Lang. Jaunty Jack Lang. Thanks. Hi. Thanks for bringing that ray of sunshine on your head into the studio. You're welcome. Nice. Duncan Alexander's here. Hello, James. Ready to talk football business. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I do. Yeah. Charlie Eccleshire as well. Hello. How's the tennis, Charlie? Get them off to Rome next week, actually. Ooh. Very nice. That should be nice. Right. Excellent. I've just come back, of course, from other sports. How was it? It was, I mean, redacted, but great. Yeah, yeah. No, no, it was very good. And, yeah, always nice to be in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Jet lag okay?
It's, you know, you know.
Luckily, there's been the football. Yeah. The first half of the extraordinary... diptych of Champions League encounters this week. First off, I saw in an airport Mexican restaurant, they took a bit of time to get the feed up, by which time it was already not the... The chimichanga. The actual game, by which time it was already 2-1, but luckily there was still so much more to enjoy. We'll be talking about... All of that. Also, the Intertotally Cup draw, which you're handling for us, Jack.
Apparently so, yeah. What an honour. The Graham Kelly.
Yeah, I think they are. Can't wait. That's great. Because I thought maybe you wouldn't be enthusiastic or something.
This is, yeah, this is... Why aren't you taking part, Jack? Disinterest.
I mean, it's like the FA Cup, isn't it? Yeah. It's gone. I've gone to Brazil. Yeah.
Right. Running scared, perhaps, because there's some heavyweight names in the competition this year. We'll talk about that later on. But very much Champions League for us, first of all, after the highest scoring set of semi-final first legs since 1960. Mainly thanks, of course, to Tuesday's fixture. Although, how about this for a shock stat? Yeah. There were more shots in Wednesday's Atleti-Arsenal game, Charlie. I know. What to make of that? I know. By quite a way as well. Quite comfortably more. 29-22? Yeah. Footy, eh? Footy? I mean, the other shots... Well, Duncan, perhaps you got one. Manuel Neuer didn't make a single save? No. In the 5-4 on Tuesday?
No. Michael Cox pointed out in his article on that game that... The keepers didn't really make saves yet. Neither of them had like a bad game, which is again, quite unusual. It was just occasional, but elite finishing. It wasn't, it was a strange game really. I mean, I think that's why people lost their minds over it so much. It was, it didn't feel like a normal match. No. At any point.
Michael, who's not easily impressed talking about football on a higher level, the similarly normally sanguine Charlie Eccleshire saying, don't want to go overboard. But I think that was the best half of football ever played, ever played, ever. Overboard police on line two.
Charlie, two days on, you stand by that. I mean, it was written with deliberate kind of hyperbole, but I mean, there's obviously recency bias, but there's also nostalgia, which means you can never say that something that's just happened is really great without people being on like, what about this? What about that? Right.
What about the game two weeks before with Bayern Munich against Real Madrid, which I thought at the time was, you know, about as good as it was going to get. Was this better? I don't know.
Yeah, for me, I just can't remember a better half that I've spent more just like open mouth and making audible noise of just like, what is going on here?
