It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job Kung_Fu_Zizou, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco, Felipejack, Ezek Ix and yours truly, Valyrian Steel. Chaotic but Madrid knock City out.
Now a totally different cup off tea awaits us in the quarters in the form of Bayern Munich. Immediate attention needs to be focused on Atleti and La Liga. Arbeloa becomes the first Real Madrid manager to win his first four Champions League knockout games.
