Leading 3-2 on aggregate and hosting this quarter-final second leg, Barcelona hold all the aces as they welcome PSG. The Catalan giants are on the brink of a first UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-final appearance since 2018/19 after coming out on top in last week’s reverse – a topsy-turvy game which saw Xavi’s side lead, then trail, before they subsequently fighting back to win.

That result affords Barça the luxury of knowing a draw will be enough to seal progression, and with a positive record on home soil against French opposition (W9, D2, L2) they should be confident of advancing. But if there’s anything that will plant a seed of doubt in their minds, it’s the fact they lost their last home outing against Ligue 1 opposition 4-1 against none other than PSG, meaning this tie might be far from over despite the fact they have progressed 37 out of the 39 times they won the first leg away in UEFA competition.

That’s an ominous record for PSG to overcome, but there’s some history in this fixture that makes their task seem achievable. Only one tie in UCL history has ever seen a four-goal first leg lead overturned and it was done in this H2H fixture, so the prospect of needing to win by two goals to get the job done in regulation time is arguably a realistic one for PSG, especially with players such as Kylian Mbappé at their disposal.

Unfortunately for the Parisians, they were on the receiving end that time and lost 6-1 in the away leg when current boss Luis Enrique was in charge of Barcelona – a result which plays into a decisively average away record against Spanish opposition (W6, D3, L9). Overall then, it’s probably hard to make an argument for that loss tally not hitting double figures here, especially as PSG have gone on to lose the away leg in all seven UEFA competition ties in which they lost the first leg at home.

Players to watch: Raphinha scored his first-ever UCL goals in the first leg, both of which arrived after the half-hour mark, like seven of his eight Barcelona goals prior. PSG’s Mbappé scored a hat-trick in the last Barça-held H2H and he has a taste for scoring in Spain as he netted a brace away to Real Sociedad in the last 16.

Hot stat: 11 of PSG’s last 12 UCL away games saw both teams score. #PSG #BARCELONA #BARCA #livefootball #livescores #livefootballmatchtoday #footballmatch #footballlive #footballtoday #epl #UCL #CHAMPIONSLEAGUE #UEFA #uefachampionsleague #premierleague VS #bundesliga #LALIGA

draws either side of that that were
frustrating but think we’ve gone back to
being really hard to beat and really

tonight is Ian dant thank you Adrian
well 12 27 times a team has lost a UEFA
knockout match by three goals to two
only six of those 127 sides progress but
Lu Enrique once Barcelona player and
Coach believes that this is Paris San
gain’s time to put that start a bit
further into his favor they take that
3-2 defeated score line into the Olympic
stadium in Barcelona tonight remember
the last time they played Barcelona away
they did exercise some ghosts knocking
bar out in the round of 16 with a
killing mbappe hattick just a few years
after that extraordinary night the 6-1
at the camp new which is being
refurbished at the moment which is why
the Olympic stadium is being used for
this tie in terms of team news just one
change for Barcelona with that one goal
Advantage pedri who came on in the first
leg and was almost immediately impactful
setting up Rafia for an equalizer he
replaces the suspended Sergio Roberto so
Mark Andre testan in goal for Barca jul
kundai Ronald arajo palasi this
incredibly talented 17-year-old making
just his 14th start for Barcelona
tonight and Ja Canelo Franco dong ilai
gundan and pedri the Midfield 3 lamin
yamal just 16 years Young on the right
of her front three with Rafia and Robert
levandowski as for Paris sjain well
Ashraf hakeim couldn’t play in the first
leg because of suspension he’s back and
they need him back cuz they put marinos
at right back in the first leg and he
was like a fish up a tree so hakeim
comes in Warren Zam Emory another
prodigious young talent in European
football comes in for Kang in Lee in
Midfield and Bradley barola another
young player displaces Marco asencio in
attack so for Paris is Jan Luigi
donaruma in goal Ashraf aimi marinos
Lucas Hernandez and Nuno Mendes in their
back four Warren Z Emory vitina and
Fabian ruith in Midfield the front three
former B man Usman demele who scored in
the first game kilan mbappe and Brad
BARC Cola brilliant gaming Prospect live
on talk sport 2 at 8 and it’s 3-2 to
barcel from the first leg as they
entertain par San cheers Dan Pia
Dortmund hit the woodwork twice late on
in the first leg away to Atletico Madrid
losing it 2-1 it’s the return leg in
Germany tonight this one watch for talk
sport by our European expert Kev
hatchard Kev well Atletico Madrid had
perussia Dortmund where they wanted them
last week two nil open and threatening a
third goal but they eased off the
accelerator in the closing stages in the
Spanish capital and Sebastian Al’s goal
late on has given the black and yellows
a Fighting Chance of turning the tie
around at a sold out zignal aduna Park
both teams won at the weekend Dortmund
make five changes from the win at
barusso menion gladbach Matt Hummels
returns at Center back Julian Ron is in
at right back emay Jan who’s been
struggling with injury is back in
Midfield Jon Sancho missed the weekend’s
game with Illness but he starts and
Nicholas fug replaces the injured Al up
front Atletico came from behind to get
an impressive win against Jona at the
weekend they also make five changes the
former Chelsea Captain Cesar aspila is
in at Wing back Jose Jimenez is back at
Center half as his former Dortmund
player Axel witell Marcos ente and
Alvaro Morata also come back into the
side there’ll be more than
81,000 packed into the stadium it could
be a cracker it could be Kev stay with
us I’ll ask a question on it in just a
moment but let’s go back to the
Barcelona PSG game co- commentary is
with the former Champions League
semi-finalist Danny Mills what chance do
to give PSG tonight away to Barcelona
Danny well every chance if honest after
the first game the first game was really
strange Aden I did it with Jim proword
it was littered with
mistakes PSG could not defend to save
their lives mbappe was almost Anonymous
you know five goals and he didn’t get on
the score sheet which is very very
strange I think he might have had one
shot on Target in the game so I think
again neither team is great at defending
so this could be a very very highs
scoring game it could let’s bring back
uh Kev hatchard you’re going to keep us
updated on both these games on talk
sport tonight Kevin I want to ask you
about Javi and his substitutions cuz the
first leg he made a double sub on 61
barcel equalized on 62 he then made a
change on 75 then on 76 and one of those
subs Christensen scored the winner on 70
seven he’s either a genius or that’s
incredibly lucky maybe a bit of both I
think it’s interesting actually the kind
of difference between the two coaches
because chabby as you as you rightly say
got a lot of praise for those changes of
course it helps if you can bring
somebody of the quality of pedon and he
can almost immediately set up a
brilliant goal for Rafia but Luis
Enrique got a lot of heat actually in
the French press for the team that he’
selected and the team he’s picked
tonight looks a lot more cohesive to me
a lot more you know Square pegs in
square holes because it it didn’t quite
hang together he had Marco asencia was a
kind of false nine that didn’t really
work um obviously they they tried to
cover the loss of hakeim by moving
marinos out wide that didn’t work either
and just the whole balance was wrong
Warren zier Emory who’s a terrific
teenager in Midfield he was left out of
the starting 11 and he’s been brought
back so similar to what happened at
Newcastle in the group stage he had a
left field team selection got smacked
he’s playing catch up once again and
we’ll see what happens thanks very much
from Champions League to Championship
back toback wins has put Southampton in
with a Chance of automatic promotion the
host Preston in the only championship
game this evening at Sam Mar for talk
Sport Charlotte Richardson good evening
Adrian a huge opportunity for the Saints
to reduce the gap on the top three to
just three points and still have a game
in hand whilst others seemingly losing
their nerves Southampton are building a
little bit of momentum a 99th minute
winner on Saturday puts a spring in the
step on a sunny evening on the south
coast for the visit of Preston whose
playoff hopes are all but extinguished
after losing at the weekend Russell
Martin makes three changes Yan badner X
Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Manning
replace Jack Stevens James Bri and will
smallbone whilst there were two changes
for the visitors Emil Reese and Noah
menen St in place of Alan Brown and will
Keane who are named on the bench so the
411 for both teams Southampton we expect
to play in a 433 with bazunu in goal
back four Manning Howard Bellis bner and
Walker Peters in the Midfield Armstrong
returns alongside downs and Aro
supporting a front free of Brooks Adam
um Adams and then Adam Armstrong who I
must say I was surprised not to see in
the championship team of the season this
week 20 goals and 12 assists to his name
they face a Preston side in a fre for12
formation Woodman in goal that back free
of story Lindsay and Hughes homes
watmore and Moen and Brady the four with
froa Jensen supporting osich and reys up
front I have Perry Gro alongside me for
this one it is a massive game in the
championship we have kickoff here at
8:00 pm as Southampton host Preston so
into League one let’s get the team news
here at fratton Park Portsmouth against
Barnsley alongside me tonight James
fielden yeah will this be the night
after what has been 12 seasons in League
1 and League two Portsmouth are just a
point away from promotion back to the
championship John mso’s side will also
win the title tonight if they get the
victory barnesley have slipped after
their run of one defeating 19 either
side of the new year but Neil Collins
knows three points in the next three
games will secure them a playoff spot at
the end of the season as they look to
regain second tier status themselves
after what would have been two years in
League one incredible team news supports
with they make five changes tonight
including the admission of Colby Bishop
20 goal top scorer he’s got three and
three against Barnsley he’s got four in
his last three games but he’s out cini
yangi starts up front Swanson Evans
andrean and white also coming into these
starting 11 for this one tonight barnesy
making two changes Barry Cotter and
Connor Grant coming into the side as
Coro Keefe and John Russell make way
it’s surely going to be an interesting
night it sun is shining the fans
certainly optimistic on our way in
earlier agun will Portsmith get the job
done we’ll find out in 45 minutes time
it is Portsmouth against barnesley and
Portsmouth were lucky to get a draw at
Bolton Saturday here never the Bolton
manager said afterwards his players were
disappointed not to win Bolton the third
four points behind Derby and this
Tonight is their game in hand they host
LLY shury in front of s Sports Mickey
Gray yeah evening a maximum points must
be on the menu for Ian evz Bolton
tonight to give themselves a glimmer of
hope of automatic promotion going into
the remaining two games of the season
they host Paul HST Shrewsbury Town who
are struggling at the other end of The
League One Table sitting just six points
above the relegation Zone as for team
news it’s four changes for Bolton from
their 1-1 draw with Portsmouth on
Saturday out go Jones Santos Shen and
bod vson Inc Forester idale Dempsey and
Jerome after the 3-1 defeat by a wikit
the weekend it’s three changes for
Shrewsbury Tom Flanigan misses out
through suspension along with Taylor
Perry and Tom Balor income Anderson
Bennett and shba from the T sheet
Community Stadium it’s Bolton against
shrewbury Fleetwood could be relegated
tonight they had to playoff bound Peter
who were battered at the weekend at
Oxford there for talk sport is Ian Beach
and fleetw need to match or better
Burton’s result to avoid being relegated
this evening fleetwood’s last couple of
performances have been improving they
had a 2-nil win over Northampton on
Saturday and that really gives them a
boost for this one food boss Charlie
Adam makes one change from that game
Callum Dolan in for Gavin Kil Kenny now
Peter B Darren Ferguson made a quadruple
substitution at halim when they were 3-0
down at Oxford they eventually lost that
one 5 nil with that in mind you might
expect him to make wholesale changes
tonight but he only makes two to the
starting lineup David aib boy and manik
mat he come in for quame PKU and Ricky J
Jones who both Dro to the bench Dean
Ashton’s here alongside me for this one
Peter against Fleetwood at the Western
home stadium he was expecting more
changes than that that big win for
Oxford put them in control of the final
playoff Place one of their challenges
Lincoln suffered a rare defeat at the
weekend they meet tonight at the cassam
in front of talk sports Adrien Clark
timing their run to Perfection scoring
13 goals without reply across their last
three matches Oxford no victory tonight
will all but seal their place in the
league one playoffs there’ll be six
points clear of Blackpool with two to
play with a handy goal difference
Advantage too for Lincoln City it’s
almost win or bus three points will keep
their promotion dreams very much alive
heading into the penultimate weekend a
draw makes them long shots but defeat
would mean it’s League one football
again for them next term in terms of
team news on the back of that 5-nil
spanking of peterb is no surprise Oxford
boss Dez Buckingham names an unchanged
starting 11 star midfielder Cameron
branagan who scored 10 League goals this
ter does return from injury to take his
place on the bench as for Michael
skubala he makes just one change from
Lincoln’s 2 one surprise reverse at home
to Wigan teenage forward Freddy Draper
comes in for Jack moand there’s a lot on
the line for both teams here at the
cassam it’s Oxford versus Lincoln Burton
had a huge win at Steven H Saturday can
they back that up at home to third
bottom cheltam tonight at the pelli for
talk sport Mike McCarthy amazing what a
win can do both of these sides have won
one of their last 11 in the league but
there’s a quiet optimism around here
that Burton after Saturday’s Victory can
make a big move towards safety tonight
by contrast have lost four in a row this
looks like their last chance to stay
relevant in the relegation scrap lose
here and all the hard work darl Clark
has done to drag them into contention
will probably have been for nothing
remember he took over a team that hadn’t
even scored a goal in their first 10
matches of the season it’s Clark who
makes the most changes three in all
Bradbury and Taylor come in injuries
for Freestone and Lloyd keep them out
but ever present goalkeeper Luke
Southwood who suffered a suspected
broken toe on Saturday does start two
changes for the the host with Bennett
and braford missing out Sweeney and Hugo
come in from The parar League Stadium
it’s Burton versus chelt Paul Valor in
the relegation Zone and after being two
up and losing 4-2 at home to EXA
Saturday it’s another home game tonight
against Wickham at Bale park for talk
sport Jeff Peters well the main reason
why Port Vil find themselves in trouble
is just two wins in 20 matches this year
11 points from a possible 60 and they
occupy the final relegation spot three
points from safety three games remaining
they’ve also failed to score in 11 of
their last 18 fixtures boss Darren Moore
makes one alteration and that’s enforced
as deppa is injured and he’s replaced up
front by Ryan Loft Wickham who are
comfortable mid-table with two-nil
winners at Shrewsbury at the weekend
Matt Bloomfield rang the changes for
that and there’s another six tonight
including the return of Jack Grimmer as
Captain it’s Vil and Wickham in the
potteries now in League two Stockport
and rexam are up already Stockport can
seal the title tonight while Mansfield
can seal the third automatic spot
Crawley and Barrow currently occupy the
fin two playoff places and they’ll be
desperate to hold on to them both beaten
at the weekend they meet at Broadfield
for talk sport Alfie Reynolds and with
just three games remaining for cruy and
four for Barrow neither side can afford
too many more dropped points cruy boss
Scott Lindsay questioned the
professionalism of his side in defeat to
Colchester he makes two changes with
Jeremy Kelly and Addy Ado coming in a
win tonight we’ll see them Leap Frog
their opponents Barrow have lost their
last three but manager Pete wild says
there’s no need for panic they have a
three three-point cushion to Doncaster
in eighth a win and they could book
their playoff spot when they travel to
donc cter on Saturday three changes for
them Stevenson tford and Spence coming
in it’s cruly hosting Barrow and it’s
third bottom against fourth bottom as
coaches to me Grimsby and again that
could see forest green relegated tonight
watching this for talk sport Ian
Abrahams yeah and it’s all up for grabs
here because a cult just the win would
relegate Forest screen Adrian a Grimsby
draw make sure they’re safe as well as a
Windward obviously but Sutton and forest
green with B gin B to win this one
because cult are only a point clear of
Sutton and a five clear of forest green
and they still got a game in hand on
both I hope all that makes sense so
basically this is huge team news one
change for culer tonight because they’re
without one of their Strikers so it
means that in comes John ay Cameron G MC
will go back into Midfield Noah cha is
the one that missed out and as for
Grimsby there Skipper is injured Danny
Rose Donovan Wilson Sutton man replaces
him Harry Clifton for hollan is the
other change in Midfield 745 kickoff
safety on the minds of both these two
it’s cester against Grimsby and let’s
bring in the former Arsenal Southampton
and Colchester wing of Perry Groves is
at Samar tonight all right Perry adidam
all right but not the Southampton all
right I’ve just snuck in they’re still
charging me5 for the car park so from
the 750 Grand that they paid for me I
think they’ve got 40 quid back so for
the rest of us exactly you know so now
it was only
74960 quid was my transfer fee um the
former West Ham norwi and crew Striker
Dean Ashton’s at pizor tonight how you
doing Dean I’m really good a thank you
looking forward to this I bet you are as
well Perry first of all just the only
game in the championship tonight but a
big one for Southampton a quick word on
Ryan low he uh saw his Preston team
beaten One n at home at the weekend
ending really their playoff chances and
then as a fan he went to anfield on
Sunday and saw Liverpool lose One n at
home as well so uh he’s not in a good
mood but sampton are looking to put him
in an even worse mood they had a little
bit of luck at the weekend they’re
automatic hopes are still alive and we
know already this season Perry they’re
the kind of team that can go on a
winning run relentlessly yeah you’re not
wrong a was it early on the season it
was 22 unbeaten in the championship from
September to mid-February then they had
a little blip they’ve sort of got
themselves back on track it’s
interesting that jaro is been put back
in southampton’s team because the last
home game here against C he got a stand
Novation a he was absolutely outstanding
he come off in the 83rd minute he went
obviously to the afri cup Nations and he
played obviously for Nigeria he’s come
back and Ryan um Russell Martin the
Southampton manager was waxing lyrical
about him in the program and about Flyn
Downs as well you mentioned about you
said it was the fluke he wasn’t it was a
brilliant goal from uh FN downs and was
it 90 plus 9 and it was a good uh
delivery from Ryan Manning so he’s been
put back in the side today so down that
left hand side there’s some fresh legs
for Southampton and what I’m expecting
Preston will probably sit a little bit
deep they’ll play a 3 412 formation OS
magit and REE will play up front with
proon just in behind they’ll try and hit
Southampton on the Counterattack and one
thing that Russell Martin was really
critical of a of their win at the
weekend was that they were good for 60
minutes and then they sort of eased off
a little bit and they can’t the
opposition came back into the game so
he’ll be wanting Southampton team now to
be on it for 90 he will what I meant by
fluke it was ambal basically so uh no V
A so perfect v v would have given
sampton two goals I’m sure um let’s go
to London Road Dean Ashton is there
where Fleetwood could get relegated if
they lose and Burton avoid defeat
Fleetwood are down Charlie Adam has come
in and kind of made them hard to beat
but they just haven’t won enough games
no they haven’t um look they’ve
struggled at both ends of the pitch
that’s for sure although when you do
sort of dig a little bit deeper you know
they they’ve missed the second most big
chances in the whole division which
shows that they’ve created them they
just haven’t been able to take many of
them at all this season obviously with
Burton looking like they’ve got a
favorable or more than a favorable
fixture tonight and this being a really
difficult one because of that result
against Oxford for peterb and the fact
that I’ve got my team selection so wrong
thinking that thinking that Darren
Ferguson would make the changes and he
hasn’t he’s basically said to those
players that you’re going to have to go
out and show me a much better
performance and um and so it’s a really
tough fixture for felwood because of
that oh it is Peter need one point to
guaranteed playoffs they’re going to be
in the playoffs no doubt about it we’re
taking you around the grounds bring you
all the goals as they go in tonight it’s
kickoff on a night here at fratton Park
where Portsmouth could seal promotion
and seal the league one title as well

sport 2 it’s Champions League commentary
of Barcelona against Paris sgain with
Danny Mills Andy andant Adrian thank you
very much indeed it is a huge night at
the Olympic stadium in Barcelona as the
home side take a 3-2 Advantage into the
second leg of this quarterfinal after a
wild first leg and we bring you the
whole match live here on talk sport
2 Barcelona playing it Forward oh it’s a
brilliant volley from Rapa and they’re
back on level terms to go into this as
as real second favorites I thought this
was a great performance from Barcelona
leowski I don’t believe it he’s done it
again there is still a decent enough
Squad it is a good squad that has been
massively underperforming this season
that you can get a lot more out of Paris
are not perfect but they have Killian
mbappe and the inevitable result is
kilan mbappe giving Paris sgain the lead
if they’ got to another final and they
may still do of course but they they’re
not favorites now it would have almost
Vindicated all the chaos of the last two
years to in on the rebound by carani
they are better set up to win it I think
than they have ever been and this place
can smell the Champions
League so the second leg on the way at
the Olympic stadium in Barcelona a
reminder of the team news quickly one
change for Barca from the first leg
pedri in for the suspended Sergio
Roberto three changes for Paris from the
first League hakeim Z Emory and barola

partner William Hill get epic value all
season with William Hill 18 plus
begambleaware.org and this is where we
bring in our good friend Alex Dunn from
William Hill for the latest odds on this
tie between the Spanish and the French
Alex where’s the money going where’s the
smart money going so far well you’d
imagine it’ll be on goals if the first
legs anything to go by over three and a
half in the match is even money and I
think I think we could see plenty of
action once again BARC at 23 to20 the
draw is 29 to10 and PSG are 2 to1 of
course that’s the 90 minutes betting
that’s not to qualify although I think
Barca might win through tonight and
overall truth be told if you are looking
for a bit more value barca to win and
both teams to score is 23-10 and if
you’re looking at goal scorers I think
Rafia who had a very good time in the
first leg he’s 19 to 10 to score anytime
I think that could be a little bit of
value of course people will be looking
for Pro PSG bets as well mbappe has 15
to4 to score first odds on 19 to 20 to
score anytime and wanted a bit of a
price Bradley barcoa you mentioned there
coming into the side I’ve been impressed
by what I’ve seen of him this season
he’s Lively he’s 5 to one to score
anytime that could be a little bit too
big but ultimately I think Barca will be
the ones to progress all you covered it
perfectly Alex thank you very much
indeed Alex done there all thanks to our
friends at William Hill get epic value

expected for both sides really with
players coming back in we expected to

game littered with mistakes last week I
think we heard earlier you know Kevin
hat talk about great slucky
substitutions um obviously Christensen
came on wandered into the box from the
corner biggest player on the pitch
completely unmarked scored from three
yards um but yeah so I can’t see either
team being able to defend properly I

tonight tomorrow night it’s going to be
something else we’ve got Man City
against Real Madrid on talk sport 2 the
show comes to you live from the etad and
we’ve got Bayern Munich Arsenal live
commentary from the aliance stadium on
to sports and Arsenal against Bayern
Munich with a tie in the balance 22
Gunners already in Germany and Mikel
Etta has just been speaking to the media
in Munich
he’s Keen to see his team Embrace The
Passion of the occasion after a tight
first game emotion is needed in football
is is tweaking it tweaking tweaking and
and touching the right button in the
right time uh for the team to be always
stable BEP when he has to be hyped and I
think we did that really well in London
because um after going scoring the first
goal we had a game that we had a big
chance to score the second one and then
suddenly in 5 10 minutes they are ahead
and we were really controlled really mat
sure not to throw everything away in
that moment find our Rhythm Our Moment
to score a really good goal and the
reaction of the team was straight away
to to try to score the third one well if
there’s a night on talk sport to get the
juices flowing it’s this one a promotion
party and tomorrow night as well two
incredible Champions League quarterfinal
second legs and both of them live on the
talk Sport Network and M artetta setting
the tone there fighting talk from the
Arsenal manager after a draw last week
against Bri Munich and defeat at the
weekend against Aston Villa let’s just
focus on events here at fratton Park for
a moment because on the morning of
January 20th last year my phone was
buzzing numerous people were asking me
if it was true that Portsmouth had
appointed as their new head coach John
MHO the Oxford United player coach
working at the time at Oxford with KL
Robinson there was disbelief because
Portsmouth is a big Club in League one
various experienced managers have tried
and not stayed the Course Danny Cy Kenny
jacket Paul Cook appointing a head coach
with no head coach experience at a club
with big expectations like Portsmouth
was seen as a huge risk well less than
18 months later they’re on the brink of
promotion and mso’s just picked up the
League 1 manager of the Year award and
at that Awards night on Sunday talk
sport Ian Abraham spoke to MHO and was
asked about the journey to the top of
the table it’s been a real Whirlwind
it’s gone by very very quickly and it’s
I think to be honest to pass our
expectations not just mine but as a
football club we wanted to be a a top
six side that was competitive this year
we’ve managed to hopefully go a bit
further than that if we actually get the
job done on Tuesday night and we’ve been
there for a long long time at the top of
the league and yeah if if we do manage
to do it I think we’ll look back on the
season very fondly because from from
where the club has has been over the
past few years I think everybody
involved in the club will will tell you
it’s it’s a fantastic achievement for
the football club to be able to do this
I hate using cliches but I suppose
Portsmouth are a sleeping giant they
woken up now I you know I think
once we oh hopefully if we get the job
done on Tuesday I think that’s the first
step towards it and the Second Step will
be to reestablish ourselves in the
championship because you know it’s no
easy feat there’s a hugely competitive
league there’s a lot of money going
around a a lot of huge clubs uh coming
down from the Premier League there’s
some massive clubs in in League one and
we’ve probably seen this weekend we’ve
got big clubs coming up into into League
one as well from League two so I think
the first step to sort of reestablishing
that will be to make sure that we make a
fist of it in the championship and we
know we’ll have the backing from the
owners over the next few years to to
gradually establish ourselves and to be
honest the long-term plan is to become a
Premier League Football Club again
that’s easier said than done we we don’t
talk about that flippantly but it’s
definitely an ambition for everyone in
the football club and I think we we’
hopefully make it
happen there you got John Merino the
Portsmouth manager as we await the teams
Coming Out 3 minutes before kickoff here
at fron Park which has just about filled
up aart a corner away to our right which
should be filled with Barnsley fans long
way to come on a Tuesday night for a a
set of fans that aren’t happy with their
manager even though they’re in a playoff
place but it’s all about pompy tonight
and uh given the fact that they are
unbeaten in 16 haven’t lost since mid
January you would expect them to get at
least a point tonight bronley not in
form let’s bring in Dean ashon as the
teams make their way out at fratton Park
which when things are going well is a
cauldron of noise
always and tonight with promotion and
the title The
expectation on this crisp spring
evening you can hear the noise at frat
Park these fans are back and they’ve got
their team back as well and they’re
heading back to the second tier of
English football they’ve not been there
for 12 long years and Dean Ashton what a
job first full season as a head coach
John MHO and he’s about to win the title
you can’t argue with him being manager
of the year in League one not at all and
whoever it was who made that decision
I’m pretty sure is sat back smugly
knowing they took a big risk but they
must have known behind the scenes what a
good coach he is and it’s it it just
shows in this sort of modern era that
there are so many great coaches in and
around this country maybe just behind
the scenes but there was this manager
Mero round that was so hard to get on if
your name didn’t fit well now it just
shows that these coaches are being given
an opportunity it’s not always going to
work but it clearly worked for
Portsmouth a fantastic club with massive
amount of history and those fans will
have felt every single day of the
difficult times and they should rightly
so enjoy this because they’ve had an
unbelievable season um to only have lost
four games and and played the way they
have done and they should celebrate that
they’ve gone through the extremities
Dean haven’t they really winning the FA
Cup in 2008 and since then near
liquidation nearly dropping out of the
football league all together and I think
there was a spell the last few years or
so where they’ve been kind of stuck in
League one if you like where they
thought it was never going to happen
well John MHO has made that happen but
you know fans don’t like it to be boring
it certainly has never been boring at
Portsmouth no it hasn’t but I’m pretty
sure if you ask those fans I don’t think
they would have wanted it to have been
as Topsy servy as it as it has been but
it seems like there’s genuine stability
there now and if they can go on and
build on this um you know you just don’t
know how far that could take Portsmouth
because of that fantastic support that
they have Dean for the time being thank
you very much the uh the mascots I think
there’s more mascots than players on the
pitch right now but they’re lining up
for the photo shoot before scampering
off the pitch all wearing their uh blue
pompy shirts Prouds as punch to be out
there on the nights when their Heroes
could secure promotion and the title and
as James was saying earlier surprising
team news kby Bishop 20 leag goals but
not asked to start on such a a huge
night in portsmouth’s history and just
wonder how he might be feeling on the
bench could it be that the script is
written for him to get on later and seal
the goals that seal promotion and the
title for Portsmouth football club the
barsy players all in white get set to
kick us off Portsmouth is still in a
huddle as the fans make themselves heard
here at fratton Park which is such an
old school Stadium there’s pillars and
posts in the ways wooden stands and
toilets that you wouldn’t normally go to
but you have to as we get ready they
break from the Huddle the keeper goes
back to his Nets and it’s Barnsley who
will kick us off here at fratton Park on
what should be a massive night talk
sport taking you around the grounds
bringing you all the goals as they go in
and we are underway another games
getting underway in League one League 2
and the National League goals as they go
in taking you around the grounds on talk
sport tonight live from fratton Park and
on talk sport 2 they’ll keep you updated
with all the goals during their
Champions League commentary of Barcelona
against Paris sanman with former England
Defender Danny Mills alongside pick of
the bunch Ian D thanks very much Adrian
yes Danny alongside me with less than 15
minutes before this cracking Champions
League quarterfinal second leg gets
underway it was a wild first leg in the
par de prance between these two and it
ended up with Barcelona taking a 32
Advantage back here to the Olympic
stadium in Barcelona remember the camp
new is being refurbished at the moment
so Barcelona have a temporary home and
we all remember the 61 7 years ago when
Paris sgain had won the first leg for
zip and thought they were as good as
through only for Barcelona to raar back
and win 6-1 in the camp new including a
last gas sergy Roberto goal that knocked
out unai emir’s Paris
sanj since then Lu Enrique has taken
charge and he now returns to Barcelona
where he won the treble 9 years ago and
his captain was Javi who is the current
Barcelona manager but Danny Mills is
leaving Barcelona at the end of this
season no matter what it seems he made
this decision after they lost heavily
owned to Villa Royale and he seems he’s
not for turning I wonder whether a you
know a Champions League win might change
his mind would probably make his mind up
and say no that’s it I’m definitely
going um go out and a High um unlikely
to repeat that a second time around
wouldn’t he so I guess it’s a bit like
Jurgen klopp you know I know THX
Ferguson retire or said he was going to
retire and then changed his mind halfway
through um but then did he’s obviously
made his mind up but
maybe being a manager of Barcelona is
not for him you know sometimes people
try it if he’s not enjoying it you have
to love it I I I I know there’s a
financial element to it but I think
being a manager being a head coach
247 it’s a vocation as much as anything
you have to love it and be desperate to
do well and I think maybe he’s looked
around and looked at you know what Pep’s
done and you know up to man city every
you know 3 years or four years at a
break jgen klopp’s now getting burn out
you know it’s tough the pressures that
come with it constantly have to deal
with play players and issues and
everything else I get it you know it
clearly doesn’t need the money it
doesn’t need the qos of you know from
from what he’s won so if he’s not 100%
in it then walk away and enjoy your life
well Money’s been a slightly more
precious commodity for Barcelona
in but not for Javi no but in terms of
what they’ve been able to spend and what
they’ve been able to add it’s a very
different time for a side that used to
buy you know Suarez Neymar qu you what
you will I think it might have benefited
Barcelona in one respect we see so many
high-profile elite football clubs that
spend I don’t know how much on their
Academy system and it never seems to
produce any talent because the board is
always swayed by spending big money on
tal Barcelona’s Academy as well this is
the point laasia is is producing two
young talents that we’ll hear from
tonight palasia at Center half who’s 17
and lamin yal who’s 16 and they’re being
trusted with starting births in
Champions League quarterfinal nights and
and there’s other players in that Squad
that have come through the system as
well you know all all the all the way
through you know that is one of the best
academies on the planet you know simple
as that the technical
ability um the belief the understanding
what players have to go through is
absolutely superb so it’s no surprise
that they produce player after player
they’re also going to have probably The
Pick of half the players in
Spain and South America and other
countries you know if you say J to comes
to Barcelona academy walk through that
Academy and look at the list of names on
the
wall it is ridiculous Champions League

brilliant goal the Champions League live
on talk sport
2 yes indeed just over 5 minutes to kick
off in the Olympic Stadium Barcelona
against Paris sanj live commentary from
myself Ian dant and Danny Mills a former
Champions League semi-finalist in in
these lead United days he’s alongside me
there are games that are underway around
the country in the
efl and also there’s another Champions
League Titan I’ll keep you in touch with
events between Borussia Dortmund and
Atletico Madrid Atletico two on up as
they travel to dortman for the second
leg but there’s plenty of goals early on
in the efl and you heard from Adrian
earlier Portsmouth wanting to hold a
promotion party but barnesley spoiling
it because they lead at fratton Park
through their top goal scorer to Vante
Cole Port Bale in trouble at the foot of
League one trailer at home to Wick and
wanders David wheeler with an early
strike for the chair boys Colchester
trying to get themselves safe lead
grimby town at the bottom of League 2
with a Tom Hopper strike Mansfield will
be promoted with a win tonight at the
top of League 2 they’re already a goal
up against aington Stanley George marris
and back in League one peterbrook
looking to secure a playoff birth they
Trail at home to Fleetwood Town who are
desperate for the points to get out of
trouble although they look doomed but
bosen loel has put the Cod Army one up
at London Road those are the goals we
have for you in the efl so far tonight I
want to ask Danny Mills ahead of kickoff
before the teams come out about what Lis
Enrique got wrong tactically in that
first leg for Paris San because you said
there was a lot of disjointed football
over then a lot of issues with ball
being given away cheap they couldn’t
defend as simple as that they’re
defending was absolutely horrific they
were really really poor you know the
goals one of the goals for the Rafia
scored was a straight ball over top a
straight run that should never happen
you talk about supposedly world class
international Defenders okay
occasionally get done with a a diagonal
ball and a straight run or the opposite
way around but straight run straight
ball you should pick that up all day
long you know that shouldn’t have
happened the third goal again was just
bizarre Christian comes Triston comes on
tallest man of the pitch possibly the
best header gets a free header from a
corner three yards out from goal simple
as that I mean it’s like you cannot
allow that to happen yeah both teams
gave the ball away an awful lot it
sounds really
strange but it wasn’t a great game at 32
you know mistakes led to the goals there
weren’t a huge amount of chances in the
game and bappe was very very quiet I
expect things to be different tonight go
there were some great goals demele
strike against his old Club I mean he’s
not scored many since coming to PSU that
was only his second goal and it his
second goal would be against the the
team he left in slightly controversial
circumstances in the summer and Rafia
took his second goal beautifully from
pedre’s lofted pass so in amongst the
the poor possessional play there was
some quality but it was Tiny moments
yeah and for for two teams that we have
come to expect
Barcelona we all eulogize about time and
time again okay maybe under pep or Lis
Enrique
whatever but PSG the the stars that
they’ve had and even the Stars they’ve
got now I’m looking at that game and
thinking they should be better than this
you know it was there’s so much talent
on display both teams I think lacking
confidence PSG looks a little bit off
the pace at times I still think there
it’s always a problem when they come to
the latter stages of the Champions
League because generally they they play
games week in week out 75% 60% at times
so they’re not always used to having to
play at
900% and Barcelona have had to get used
to playing at the Olympic Stadium this
year whilst Camp new is getting a bit of
a facelift this Stadium much much
smaller by comparison to their usual
home a capacity of around 57,000 as
opposed to the cap news 80 90,000
incidentally Portsmouth have equalized
against Barnsley in that game mid League
one Cassini yangi is equalized at
fratton park for Pony as the Champions
League theme rings around this
Stadium both sets of players standing in
line and whether Paris saner man can do
to Barcelona what they did in their last
knockout stage meeting in the Champions
League that was in the 2021
season ailan mbappe hatrick in the camp
new saw Paris sjain through in the end
they made the semi-finals that year but
no
further Paris sjain who’ never
won the European Cup or the Champions
League coming to the house of the five
times winners with a former Barcelona
coach and player in charge trying to
master to mind this comeback today is
the day has said Luis Enrique about this
match in his pre-match press conference
about coming back from a league one
defeat uh a leg one defeat rather for
the very first
time just a reminder of the team news
one change for
barca pedri in for the suspended Sergio
Roberto so it’s Mark Andre Tan in goal
Jules kund Ronald arajo palasi
and Ja Canelo in a back four Frankie
dong ilai gundan and pedri the Midfield
three laminal and Rafia either side of
Robert levandowski in attack and as for
Paris sjain they make three changes from
the first League they didn’t play it the
weekend French sides in Europe given a
rest by the French footballing
authorities hakeim Z Emory and Vara
recalled asencio Lee and baraldo drop
out so it’s Don rum in goal Ashraf aim

back four Warren Zia Emory vtina and
Fabian Ruiz the Midfield three Usman

mbappe the front three for Paris sgain
tonight and our referee comes from
Romania isan kovat a very experienced
European official we’ll keep you in
touch with events at the vest Valen
Stadium where barusso Dortmund are
entertaining Atletico Madrid the winners
of the match we’re bringing you
Barcelona Paris sgain will play the
winners of that tie between the German
and Spanish side so every chance of an
all Spanish semi-final just as there’s a
chance of an all English semi-final and
of course we’ll bring you Bayern Arsenal
and Real Madrid Manchester City live
tomorrow night across the talk Sport
Network but our concentration tonight
here on talk sport 2 is in
Barcelona Javi once again coming up
against his former manager Javi was
playing for Barca the last time they won
the treble when lisis Enrique was the
coach W Take the Lead against swinden
town in lead two w just three points off
Crawley chance of a playoff place
still potentially in the saddler’s hands
I’ll keep you updated with any further
goals around the efl but we’re ready for
the off in the Olympic Stadium Barcelona
in their red and blue
stripes Paris sanjan then change tip of
all white get us underway and straight
away they float a ball down field
looking for Bradley barola playing on
the left of a front three looks like
kilan mbappe is indeed playing right
through the
center with Usman demell the former
Barcelona man on the right hand side of
the front three marinos has the ball for
PSG Midway point of his own half was
asked to play it right back in the first
leg and the absence of Ashraf aimian
didn’t seem to enjoy that role very much
Danny Mills no as you said earlier um
looked a little bit like a fish up a
tree um I’ve not seen that too often um
to be honest he’s defensively live I
don’t know if that’s a good thing or a
bad thing uh I tell you what I am
expecting from this game goals I said
after the the first leg if you’re a
beted man get your money on both teams
to score because neither team defended
particularly well you know 3-2 would
would obviously say that I think PSG
have to defend much better this evening
leowski Los his possession in the center
circle and they’re trying to get mbappe
in behind was he shov by KU kassi no
says the referee and mbapp In fairness
to him gets swiftly to his feet at the
edge of the D and Barcelona bring it
clear whistles around the stadium nil
nil yeah good strength from uh kui this
very very well there mbappe looking to
to get in behind and bppe never really
got into the game in the first NE Leos
I think leandi had one header here Z
Emory charging forward for Paris sgain
worked out to the right hand side but it
won’t make its way out to is man dembele
now levandowski trying to run down the
far left hand side of the field and keep
it in play which he couldn’t do the pole
he had one header in the first leg on
the sixy box and he headed it away from
goal it does seem extraordinary doesn’t
it that you get a 3-2 score line in that
first leg and neither mbappe nor
levandowski got involved on the score
stre I think they had one shot each yeah
that’s almost the strangest thing within
that but this is starting similar to the
first leg it was for the first 10
minutes it was frantic well it’s Paris
San gerain that have had most of the
territory in these opening couple of
minutes it’s nil nil remember it’s 3-2
to Barcelona from the first leg and I’m
sure you know by now that away away
goals no longer count in European
football so the fact that Barca scored
three in the part de of France counts
for nothing really which I think is
right in know honestly I think it I
think we’ve seen already it makes for
better games you know teams are going to
be a little bit more attacking
especially in that first leg well they
took it at the efl playoffs a good 20
years ago plus that idea and the
playoffs has definitely benefited for
him over the years so here come Paris
San with Fabian Ruiz down the left hand
side now barola this talented youngster
finds Fabian Riz down the left hand side
of the area checks onto his left tries
to roll it back to the the edge of the
Box Fatina tries to drive it’s blocked
by dong and leowski again trying to hold
the ball up inside his own half he was
foul and that’s a free kick to Barcelona
just shy the D and the Romanian referee
wants a quiet word in marinos is ear nil
nil I tell you what I’m not going to
mess with that referee are you I mean
he’s got his sleeves on he got some guns
on him a he he’s uh yeah he’s a unit is
is vanov yeah he certainly like well I’m
not going to argue you mate I’m just
going to do as I’m told but yeah I think
the game was started at frantic Pace it
has and and it was very very similar to
the first game and sometimes I think
with with both teams not as strong as
they used to be I think you know when
you look at the the front players for
both teams that that’s pretty fair to
say after the first 10 minutes is when
mistakes started to
happen peterbrough won Fleetwood won
peterb back level at London Road in
League one through their big Striker
Malik mothersill whose goal took them to
Wembley in the efl trophy that I saw at
blackpole a couple of months
back Barcelona give the ball away just
in front of the own defensive third but
araho was bailed out by Frankie dong as
barola threaten to break through the
middle now once again leandi wrestling
for the ball loses out and it is again
High Tempo and as you were saying watch
in the first League Danny Mills
possession being squandered by both
sides rather cheaply in these early
exchanges nil nil yeah I said it in the
first leg I think Barcelona gave it away
more in that game than Sergio buset did
in his whole career it was just it was
just Sensational but we’ve seen it
already Barcelona already what four
minutes in unnecessarily giving the ball
away three or four times you can’t do
that against quality
opposition dong finds Aro Midway point
of his own half rolls it up to the half
fo line very neatly turned out to the
right wing by levandowski
and it’s clipped in field but it won’t
find its way through to barel at the
edge of the area that lamal yamal was
trying to feed it through back to the
Polish Striker but here’s mbappe picking
it up on the right hand side for Paris
sjain being held up for the Moment by
cubasi he has to work it back at the end
to hakeim back in the side tonight he
had to serice suspension in the first
leg Bolton nil shrewbury won in League
one Bolton four points off derby with
the game in hand they have tonight
trying to get an automatic spot but
Daniel Udo has put shrewbury ahead at
the tough sheet Community
Stadium easy for you to say not always
here’s denele getting the whistles you
might expect from a former Barcelona
player but he does well to feed it out
to the left wing and barcola up to the
left hand corner of the area into Fabian
R who tries to turn and shoot blocked by
aralo but it’s still with Paris
sanjan Z Emery leaves it for demell down
the right hand side of the Box gets to
the by line and wins the corner kick of
X Canelo first corner kick of the game
and it goes to PSG at nil nil six gone
well it definitely looks like PSG going
to go for it you know simple as that
they’re going to throw the kitchen sink
at it and everything and try and get a
goal very very early
on only what one goal to level matters
hit a pushing and shoving Canelo and
Fabian R standing right next to Mark
Andre testen they’re the only three
players in the six-yard Box most others
are massed just outside it but now
there’s a few others moving in to that
6-y area right footed out swinger from
denell into the near post headed out by
levandowski he’ll drop out of play 10
yds from the corner flag on that far
right hand side for a PSG throw 7
Minutes gone nil nil on talk sport 2 in
this Champions League quarterfinal
second leg hakeemi can’t get past the
challenge of Canelo slides him well
brought away for Barcelona down their
left hand side by gundan but he’s been
dispossessed and here’s Paris sjain
again with Fabian Ruiz vtina chips it
out to Nuna mendz the left back moving
forward into the Barcelona half out to
barcola stationed on this left wing up
against jul
kund elex to roll it back 15 yds for
Nuno Mendes now mbappe takes over down
the left hand side he’s passing kundai
to the by line tries to send the cross
and it’s blocked by two Barcelona
players hook clear once again
levandowski goes down looks for a free
kick and gets nothing from the referee
nil nil Danny Mills PS to my right hand
side it’s very interesed isn’t it that
referees in the Champions League the
directive seems to be let things go a
little bit more you know little nudges
little pushes that often we see and we
get annoyed with If we’re honest you
know given given free kicks given in the
Premier League European referees are
clearly told no don’t give those let it
go let the game Flow a little bit more
and I think they actually get a better
game for it but players are surprised
because it’s almost a different set of
rules to what they used to in in club
football or sorry in League football and
we’re only a couple of months away from
Euro 2024 where that may well bear out
with the referees that go to that
tournament in Germany we’re there we’re
all over it on talk Sport and talk sport
to as Usman demell treads on the ball
he’s had a Mills goes out for a throw
he’s had aot he’s had a Mills moment as
it’s known in the trade yeah he’s tried
a trick and he’s fallen over the ball
and the Barca fans who were not enamored
with the way he left the club to go to
PSG he said he was never going there
then he pitches up I think Javi in his
pre-match press conference said it
tasted bad that move so the home fans
absolutely love that moment where
dembele lost possession free kick been
given to Paris sjain on halfway it’s
been a Helter Skelter opening 9 Minutes
very little patent to this game but
Danny Mills Paris San man will at least
be content that for the most part
they’ve kept Barcelona out of their half
of the
field and this is the sort of similar to
the pattern of the first leg really and
you know you can see what I’m trying to
say now that you’d expect at the moment
both teams to hardly have given the ball
away you know to be feeling each other
out but it’s sort of mistake after
mistake you know give the ball away no
real no one’s getting hold of the ball
and and dictating the play you sense if
somebody can have a 10-minute spell but
then I guess Barcelona did have a
10-minute spell in that first leg from
2-1 down next thing you know they
were they were two one up here’s barcola
for Paris sjain in the penalty area left
hand side being watched by kundai tries
to wle his way past him rolls it back to
the edge of the area vtina tries to tear
up a teammate hakeim is coming field now
it’s Nuno Mendes tries to pass it out to
the left hand side but he was hurried
into the
pass by yamal and it goes out of play
for a Barcelona throw we’ played 10
minutes still 3-2 on aggregate to Barca
nil nil on the night Danny Mills and
there you go he’s just kicked that
straight out of play you know which
is you’d expect that from maybe League
two player Under Pressure wouldn’t
you a free Kick’s been given I fact
throwing forgive me he’s been given for
Paris Sanger Barcelona didn’t work that
very well from their own throwing so
it’s Midway point of the Barcelona half
down the near side to us the Paris sjain
left throw taken by Nuno Mendes throws
it back towards halfway where it’s
picked up by Lucas herandez
Mendes loses out as he was dispossessed
very swiftly indeed down that left hand
side by yamal dong in the center circle
looks for yamal just 16 years Young on
this near side for Barcelona 10 yards
inside the Paris sjain half rolls it
back to kundai now dong who’s got Z
Emery at his back but he nudges dong to
the ground and that’s a free kick and Z
Emery told very quickly by the referee
step away from the
ball here comes yamal for Barcelona down
the right hand side but he’s forced to
go back once again to Kate the right
back inside his own half now Aro for
Bara trots into the center circle with
the ball at his
feet then plays it out wide to this near
side the right for yalu cushions ah
header into his own path faced up by NOA
Mendes goes on the outside of him
superbly across the face of goal and
it’s touched in for an own
goal Barcelona extend their aggregate
lead rafus claiming it I’m not sure
whether it actually took a touch of a
Paris sgain Defender but all the credit
to linum Mal for the strength to get
past Nuno Mendes and fire the ball
across the face of goal it’s touched in
and Barcelona lead on the night and on
aggregate 42 on aggregate One n on the
night great from Lamar down the right
hand side does fantastically
well shows Mendes a clean pair of
heels struggled a little bit in the
first game Mendes was very very physical
against him but once he gets past him
you’re think he’s going to pop it across
with his right foot he doesn’t he flicks
it with the outside of his right foot
and again Rafa’s just behind waiting for
the tapping and it actually hits his
knee he knew very little about that
Rafia came off his left knee he knew
nothing about he was trying to attack it
with his right leg and it came off his
left knee and Rafia who scored twice in
the first leg scores again
tonight and now Paris sjam man have got
that massive mountain to climb that
Adrien Durham spoke about
at the start of our show this evening
because they now have to find two goals
to force parity in this Champions League
quarterfinal and after an opening 13
minutes Danny Mills in which Barcelona
had very little attacking intent
suddenly they’re ahead well I’m not
trying to be some sort of clever expert
here but I told you neither team could
defend here’s dembele again not getting
the better of his man Canelo he tried to
go on the outside of that time
and just took it straight out of play
elsewhere in lead two not counting nil
Stockport one could be stock port’s
title tonight having one promotion and
Patty Madden’s given them the lead at
Meadow Lane the yamal did fantastically
well down that right hand side I in the
first leg he looked a little bit nervous
at times which is completely
understandable for a player of his age a
Nuno Mendes was very very physical with
him in that game got right up again he’s
just done it again there wrestle the
ball off your he did that a lot in the
early stages of the first leg and and it
sort of he went into his shell a little
bit so that run will give him a world of
belief and
confidence the move from Baris sanjam
man down the left hand side came to
nothing but Bradley barola who’s just 21
years
young scored once in the Champions
League this season was a leon player
before he moved to
PSG preferred to Marco asencio who
definitely didn’t have a good night
in the first leg playing as a false nine
but a wasteful Crossfield pass from
Barcelona gives PSG a throw again Midway
point of the barcel half down the
parisians left hand side as we approach
the quarter hour mark on talk sport two
Barcelona one Paris sgain nil 4-2 on
aggregate then to javi’s team but here’s
barcola receiving the ball left hand
side and a lovely reverse pass gets
Fabian ruith away over the edge of the
area looking to take on pedri it’s got
past pedri for the moment and then
Aro just takes the ball off him very
cleanly and Away comes yamal but backt
trck the defender barcola and put it out
of play for a Barcelona throw one n the
score on the night four to an
aggregate but you understand what I said
now in the I said the first game was
Fran it was chaotic no real quality
nobody dictated the play No One
controlled the game is very very much
like this end to end yeah it’s turnover
the ball
incredibly turnovers were enormous for
two teams of this quality and exactly
the same thing is happening here this
evening when you consider the talent
that’s out there it is surprising it
is like a league one game well Gund
one’s hardly touched the ball yeah you
know and you would think you know as a
as the experience as the leader the
ball’s like a hot potato in that
Midfield
you now one they up on the night two
goes up two goals up on aggregate
Barcelona just need to put the foot on
the ball and calm things down a little
bit yes but instead here come Paris
sanine again looking to find their way
back into the game vtina carrying the
ball down field a good 40 yards finds
barola left hand corner of the Box
further down the left hand side of the
area Fabian Ruiz crossed to the far post
flicked Away by Canelo will it go out
for a corner yes it will off the corner
flag on that far side of the field tsg
second corner of the night they Trail by
goal to nil and for on aggregate they’ve
taken the corner short to hakeim right
hand corner of the area plays The
Crossing mbappe well heads it with the
top of his head way over the crossbar
and he wasn’t really marked there
killing mbappe he’ll be disappointed
with that effort it’s a goal kick to
Barcelona one nil it’s not his greatest
strength in the world is it you know
heading the ball but that’s a free
header he’s got to do better in that
situation you’d still expect him to at
least hit the target reminder that
mbappe has scored 13 goals in 11
Champions League knockout ties he’s not
to be trifled with even
though he didn’t score in the first leg
17 minutes gone Barcelona holding sway
then but not in control as you’ve heard
Danny Mills describe it’s not a
controlled lead they have here it’s a
very chaotic lead and this I say also
said that Manchester City must be
watching this Arsenal must be watching
this and thinking
if we can get
through I think the winner has to come
from that the other side of the draw I
cannot see these two teams going all the
way I don’t think they’ll be defensively
strong enough and the other two teams in
this half of the draw are still nil nil
in Dortmund it’s Dortmund nil Atletico
Madrid nil so Atletico still two on off
an aggregate from their first game of
the one commentator last week obviously
Atletico with two I went if there’s one
team that can keep a clean sheet it’s a
to go and within about 10 seconds they
conceded you know but I think you know
this half of the draw I think it is much
much weaker now Dem trying to stretch
his legs on the right hand side couldn’t
get past Canelo and kabasi who put it
out of play and
kari’s I think he was accidentally
trodden on by demele as he slid the ball
out of play for a throw and that’s just
going to add to dembele’s pantomim
villain Satan amongst the supporters big
goal in the championship Southampton
lead Preston by a goal to nil Shay Adams
Southampton seven points off second with
the game in hand played Just 41
matches five to play they could still
have a say in automatic promotion the
Saints and they lead at St Mary’s stock
for t two knots County and it’s another
for Paddy
Madden barcel to win the ball back down
the left hand side of the area Rafia
tries to slip it in to the area for a
terrific run from gundan who made his
way into the box but Donal Ruma who was
another player that looked besieged by
doubt in the first leg slides in and
puts it out of play for a Barcelona
throw which has been taken from the
wrong place as far as the referee is
concerned yeah Don made some huge errors
in that game as well uh again
uncharacteristic like you know I know
he’s young but he’s got so much
experience well 108
appearances for Barca since he moved
from Milan and 61 caps for his country
so you’re right he’s not inexperienced
but he did not cover himself in glory in
the first leg janig
donaruma they got Kayla Navas as another
goalkeeper lovely cross from Rafia into
the box only half levandowski fires over
wastefully big chance for the big man to
extend Barcelona’s lead on the 20-minute
Mark but he just couldn’t keep the shot
down and PSG have a goal kick at the end
of it all one-nil Bara he’s got to hit
the
target again not sure what sort of
Defending that is Mendes just swings a
right foot at it it goes straight to
levandowski 13 14 yards out leans back
and hits it over the bar he’s got to hit
the target from there that must have
grazed the crossbar on its way over from
Robert
levandowski crawly nil Barrow one in
that battle to hold on to a playoff spot
in lead two barrow lead through Emil
Aqua but Barrow starting the
night one place ahead of
Crawley so the Sussex Club having a bit
of a bit at the worst possible time
Paris San man trailing here and they’ve
won a throw as Nuna Mendes hit the ball
against lamin yamal on this near side 21
minutes gone on talk sport 2 in this
quarterfinal second leg Ian danter and
Danny Mills with
you with both English clubs in action
tomorrow night Arsenal with that 2-2
score line go to Bayern on talk sport
tomorrow evening at 7: Manchester City
entertained Real Madrid with a 33 score
line from the first leg that’s here on
talk sport 2 at the same time
Barcelona win the ball back inside the
PSG half but strong headed clear from
Lucas Hernandez but it comes back
barcelon his way down the left hand side
Canelo can’t make his way further down
that left hand side so it’s turned back
in field to marinos who looks for his
goalkeeper Donna Ruma who doesn’t just
hoof it downfield he gave it to Nuno
Mendes but insid yamal who claimed he
want to throw off Nuno Mendes but
nothing doing says the referee you
listen into Barcelona 1 PSG nil in the
Champions League live on talk sport 2
with Village hotels visit Village
hotels.com it’s a fantastic game to
watch it is end to end it is frantic I
think you just have to get your head
around that it’s not the Barcelona and
PSG of old and the quality although they
they have some quality players out there
what would it be like to play in Dan if
you were out there be doing your heading
wouldn’t it well the Barcelona that I
played against we didn’t touch the ball
for 65 minutes yeah and that that was
the difference you know Javi played in
that game L Enrique played in that game
and and literally we did not get out of
a half for for 60 minutes I think um and
we’re 4-n down uh very very
quickly it’s not that type of Barcelona
team anymore they they don’t against the
bigger teams they don’t dictate they
aren’t able to just keep the ball and
and pass it around that wheel like a
Manchester City now
are mbappe trying to get into the game
might drop for Z emyy in the center of
the Barcelona half tries to feed it out
to dembele won’t find its way out to him
D young wins it back and clips the ball
down the left down side asking Rafia to
give Chase for Barca but that drift out
of play for a throw to PSG still nil nil
in Dortmund between barusa and Atletico
Madrid so still 2-1 to Diego Simeon side
in that other quarterfinal second leg
I’m going to guess possession stats are
Dortmund probably about 80% in that game
possibly Dortmund having a strange old
season in the Bundesliga and of course B
leus now champions of that division
you’ll hear their game against West
Ham talk sport 2 Thursday night in the
Europa League by with that 2-n lead they
got in the first leg in
lusen West Ham beaten by Fulham on
Sunday in the Premier League here’s
barola for Paris sanjan carrying the
ball deep into the Barcelona heart tries
to square it across the edge of the area
for Fabian re but it was touched behind
so a third corner of the half for Paris
sgain but they Trail by a goal to nil
and dembele who’s gone across to take
the corner gets the
[Music]
whistles scored a cracking goal in the
first game and Dem plays it into the
near post but again just a delight the
home fans he gets it all wrong and he
goes straight to the side netting at the
near post not enjoying himself out there
us man demal so far how much they play
for him I mean and just kicks the corner
straight out of play that’s really
poor it’s a goal kick to
Barcelona
which not sure whether they’re going to
take it short Oro just rolls it to
tesen who gets to the edge of his area
then Clips it up to the halfway line but
it drifts Beyond levandowski he almost
look like toe punted that didn’t he it’s
a very strange Flight of the ball Bolton
wers one Shrewsbury Town one Cameron
Jerome veterum efl Striker has equalized
for the
Trotters it’s one-1 there up in
Bolton here’s barcola for Paris sgain
good ball down the left hand side to get
Fabian R away pedri going with him
Fabian Ruiz holds the ball up for a
moment plays it in field to mbappe down
the left hand side of the box trying to
make room at the by line gets the cross
in headed up in the air by Aro poor
clearance originally but it will drop
for Nuno Mendes who nods the ball
cleverly pass yamal and then tries to go
on the outside of ped does well Nuna
Mendes and wins a
corner or actually he come off Nunes
last of all it’s actually a goal kick
but that was good tenacious work by the
Paris San left back to try and get an
opportunity going there it’s just
brilliantly Fred isn’t it it’s just
incredible at the moment you
know again I don’t think either team has
had a a strung more than five or six
passes together you know in one go
Barcelona one Paris sanj nil on the
night 4-2 on
aggregate to Barcelona you listening to
talk sport 2 Paddy Madden got a first
half hattick for Stockport County as
they lead 3-0 at knots County they are
going to be Champions tonight of League
2 here’s demele up to the edge of into
the area tries to Whack It Go and it
comes off the back of Ja Canelo and
drifts out of
play for a throw in shrew back in front
at Bolton Cameron Dr but only just
equalized for the Trotters but the
shrews who’ve got very little to play
for although they are six only six
points ahead of for Vale in the final
relegation spot are back in front
sometimes that’s the way though you get
those odd results in this end of the
season because teams suddenly can relax
with’s no pressure on here’s barola for
Paris San man down the left hand side of
the box rolls it back and it’s driven go
was break save mbappe denied by tan who
plunged to his right mbappe sliding in
10 yards out must have felt certain he
was going to score saved by the German
but it’s a corner taken quickly down the
left hand side demele right footed in
swinger attempted flick on by Z Emory
and BFF heads It Go was cleared off the
line
away come Barcelona are we in the last
five minutes Dan it feels like it you
it’s just absolutely ridiculous isn’t it
Rafia tries to drive it in field from
the counter attack and it’s put out of
play by hakeim for a throw well Tes Stan
made a great save initially barcola
pulling the ball back intelligently for
mbappe great strong wrist from the
keeper and then from the corner the ball
was headed up in the air by Aro it was
definitely on target from kilan mbappe
but he was denied by jul kundai who
headed clear because I think T ster was
beaten I think we can say though that
headen is not mbappe’s strongest asset I
think that again that was a little bit
off the top of his head the shot before
that he didn’t quite catch cleanly I
think that just gave toan the
opportunity to get down and push it away
with his right hand just gave him that
very Split Second to see it so often you
see those as they get cut back zipped in
at the near post I’m you shouldn’t get
beaten at the near post but the keeper
just simply doesn’t have time to react
cuz he doesn’t catch it cleanly he’s
able to save it that’s the voice of
Champions League semi-finalist Danny
Mills on talks sport I is here come
Paris sgain barcola brought down what’s
he going to give here he’s given a free
kick just outside the area and a red
card for Ronald
aralo a straight red card for the barcel
center half for denying a clear goal
scoring opportunity as suddenly Bradley
barcola with was plainly behind they he
was roundabout
level with the penalty area when the
challenge
happened I think this might be
overturned Dan and Aro is wagging his
fingers saying no no no that was not a
foul I’m not convinced he puts his arm
into BARC cola’s shoulder there’s a high
bar I don’t that’s not a
penalty it’s not it’s not a free kick
sorry given it as a free kick because
the challenge definitely starts outside
the area no no no is he denying a clear
goal scoring opportunity now
V in neon in Switzerland will surely get
involved in this the
referee looks to be quite adamant that
his decision is final well no one’s
going to argue with him well you
mentioned it before he’s a he’s a tough
man Mr kovat and he’s explaining to Aro
who still refusing to lead the field
that he has got to go and suddenly Paris
saner if this decision is
upheld a massive massive mive
opportunity for Lis Enrique to put one
over on his former employers but they
would still have to find goals I I don’t
think it’s a foul I don’t think there’s
enough in that to to say that that’s a
fail we we’re still sort of waiting for
the V checks don’t don’t there been no
replays on any screens no information
the referee is saying to Oro I’m in
charge get
off and Oro is still arguing the
[Applause]
issue very little and he stares at the
referee as he suddenly and finally turns
away in exasperation and moves toward
the near touch line we’re seeing a
replay of the incident again certainly
barola might appear to have had the
beating of Aro for Pace that’s why he
put the challenge in was there an on the
challenge for barcola to go down the
referee says yes and that means a
straight red card for the Barcelona
Center half half an hour gone barcel won
PSG nil but it’s now 10man Bara who’ve
got to protect this two-goal aggregate
lead that they now have and it’s their
former Striker Usman demele standing
over the free kick at the edge of the
penalty area to the left hand side a
fourman barel wall in front of him
demele steps up right footed and puts it
wide so it would be a goal kick the
Barcelona will restart with and
everybody will now just take stock of
what’s happened including myself and
Danny Mills I’m surprised that mbappe
doesn’t take this in all honesty can’t
believe it a free shot from the edge of
the Box You’ think that would be
mbappe’s sort of distance wouldn’t you
try and bend in the far corner I think
it’s very very harsh he touches him but
we’ve already said levandowski has had
some crude challenges that the referee
has let go so far there’s been other
challenges there seem to be a much
higher bar in European
football having said that V also seem to
have a higher bar and they tend not to
get involved they don’t like to overrule
the referees do they they they would
rather stick with the onfield decision
whether right or whether we think it’s
right or wrong they’ve Tak a look at
isan Kovac and go I’m not I’m not argue
with him either same as you but I think
we’ve seen that in Europe already if the
referee makes the decision now mbappe
trying to get in behind kundai great
interception from jeul kundai sliding in
cuz mbappe just for a second look like
he was getting through meanwhile
Southampton have gone 3 n up in short
order against Preston in that one
championship game Shay Adams got the
second for his second of the night and
Stuart Armstrong has just scored the
Saints
third do not rule them out no what they
now Four Points behind yeah and don’t
forget their final game of the season is
at lead
United Fabian r with a cross from the
left hand side have they got leester
play as well I think yes I think they
have yes I mean they got a huge sa now
Aro is still watching on from the
sidelines I think the law state that
you’re not allowed to watch once you’ve
been sent off you have to disappear back
to the dressing rooms but Aro is having
none of
that incidentally it was Jordan Shipley
that scored shrewsbury’s second at
Bolton to put them two1
up no signs of Javi making any defensive
substitutions of course you can’t call
on Andreas Christensen tonight who came
on in the first game because he picked
up a booking and is therefore suspended
but he is going to make a change now
Inigo Martinez is going to come on and
the player that’s having to make way is
the 16-year-old lamin your M and I guess
in terms of experience that’s no great
surprise that’s no reflection on the
youngster oh not not at all but Javi
just got to do something it it will hurt
and it’s never nice to be brought off
you know early on in a game but he has
to you know at this stage in a game of
this
magnitude One n up two on aggregate
a man down you need all the experience
you can
get brusso Dortmund lead Atletico they
brought the tie level at the vest Fallen
St and Julian brand with 10 minutes to
halftime there makes it one n on the
night 22 on aggregate here on talk sport
two Barcelona lead One n on the night
and 4-2 on aggregate but crucially they
are now down to 10 men after Ronald
aro’s straight red card
how
clever do Paris sanj man box from this
point on now Barcelona play has just
gone down off the ball levandowski after
a challenge from Ashraf Hakimi his
former teammate of barusso Dortmund
let’s not forget he’s holding his head
isn’t he we need to see it again the
referee’s given the foul now it you know
you wonder from this point down how how
much they just collided there was really
nothing malicious in what hakeim did
just
just trying to run back into a defensive
position and levandowski almost tried to
hold his ground like a basketball player
trying to draw a foul Leos tried to
block him didn’t he you know from
advancing didn’t move and hakeim just
sort of bumped into him but maybe that’s
the
tactic to try and get an even game out
there they they are going to have to
slow the game down as much as possible
try and keep the ball better than they
have done they’re going to have to ride
their luck at times I’m expecting it now
to be oneway traffic
bar won a free kick after a fairly Hefty
Challenge from Lucas
Hernandez on the halfway line so the
change has been made in you go Martinez
who came to Barcelona in the summer
after nearly 5 years of athletic
bilb three appearances in the Champions
League so far this season for barcon
Martinez so he’s gone straight in at
Center half in place to the sent off
Aro hakeim for Paris San man add to
demele station on the right wing you
always don’t need me to tell you when
demele is in possession because of the
reaction from the supporters around the
stadium that I’m sure you can
hear mbappe now picks it up left hand
side for Paris San man desperate to get
themselves at least level on the night
before halim and get back within a goal
of Barcelona on aggregate demell again
level the end of the area right hand
side skips fast his man pulls it back
from the dead ball line he kepts it in
play but he couldn’t find a teammate and
cancelo looks to bring it away for
Barcelona Clips it down the left hand
side but nowhere near the intended
target of
Rafia and that’s what happens when you
get a right footed player playing at
left back sometimes those balls
downfield don’t find their target I
think now it’s just going to be an
onslaught you know it’s going to be wave
after wave of attack from PSG Barcelona
might have to resort to hitting a few
longer balls which they did actually in
the first in the first leg they were
quite happy to do that try and get Rafia
in behind it especially with his pace
and yamal obviously has now gone off but
think it’s going to be very very
difficult now Luis Enrique in just on a
bark out instructions barged into
yundai the Barcelona right back by
accident he did Apologize L Enrique In
fairness to him I thought he had better
Vision than that well he was quite the
player wasn’t he oh some
[Music]
player and he was quite a manager at
Barcelona LED them to the treble 9 years
ago and Javi was his captain when they
won the Champions League in 2015 that
was the last time Barcelona lifted the
old trophy demell again gets no change
out of Canelo as he charged down the
right hand side and then hakeemi brought
Canelo down free kick to Barcelona and
at this moment in time Danny Mills they
Lead 1 nil they’re a man down but
they’re four to off an aggregate they’re
actually managing this stage of the game
quite well they’re actually calmer now
they’ve gone down to 10 men aren’t they
you know they’re not so frantic
Barcelona that I think they’ve accepted
that okay we’re a man down let’s try and
calm it down let’s try and St take the
sting out of the game take our time over
free kicks if we have to play long at
times we’ll do that and they actually
look a little bit more secure at the
moment that’s Danny Mills alongside M
Ian danta on talk sport 2 38 and 1/2
gone if you’re just tuning into
Champions League live here on talk sport
two Barcelona a goal up but a man
down they have a 4-2 aggregate lead at
the
moment through that Rafia goal early in
the piece Dortmund have just scored a
second against Atletico they’re now
ahead on aggregate against Diego
simeon’s men
could be in Matson on L from Chelsea
Here Comes Bara across the face go
Deele turns it in against his own club
yet again the L of the X strikes against
Barcelona hang on hang on and kiling
mppe gets a
booking and so does enigo Martinez for a
bit of Afters after the ball went into
the net but what matters is the man who
put the ball in the net was the man
that’s been Jered since minute one but
Usman demele on the right hand side
latched on to bar cola’s cross from the
left hand side of the area everybody
missed it great finish on the half
volley by dembele into the roof of the
net and PSG are level in this first half
on the night now back within a goal of
Barca 1-1 what a finish this is it comes
from the left hand side all the way
across the 6yd box it’s a difficult ball
it’s bouncing bounces twice before it
gets to him he has to take it on the
volley Canelo sliding in to try and put
him off there is a goal check I’ve no
idea what for looked perfectly good to
me I can’t say yeah check over goal
given without a Chad of a doubt there’s
nothing wrong with that now you see
that’s the v i can get on board with
yeah when they have a look for 10
seconds and decide well I couldn’t see
anything in there that even was
potentially debatable within that but
it’s a fantastic finish at the far post
only his third goal for Paris San gerain
since his move from barcel in the summer
and his second goal came last week in
the first leg it’s a difficult finish as
well it’s bouncing up it’s on the volley
he does incredibly well to control it
here he is again Deele trying to slide
it down the right hand side of the box
for H hakeim who was on the underlap but
Barcelona gets it clear and now the game
is on the game is really on Barcelona
still have that one goal Advantage it’s
now 4-3 on aggregate to javi’s men but
they’ve now got just over 50 minutes of
football to play
out with a man down and a Paris sgain
front line that looks hungry for
more well The Bookies won’t thank me I
did predict both teams would score
although after the last after the last
leg You’ have got short odds on that
can’t remember what Alex Don said from
William it would been about 500 to one
on I think um you you wouldn’t have got
huge odds on that no but it just goes to
show that neither team can really
defend and had it have stayed it and
bappe going through the middle takes the
ball down on his chest he was well dealt
with by kabasi whose credentials as a
Young Center half are going to be tested
severely from this point on of just 17
years of age in his breakthrough
season he’s going to have to play really
well alongside the substitute Martinez
to keep parisan a man out anymore here
is z Emory finds demele brings it down
right hand corner of the Box faed up by
Canelo rolls it back to vitinho tries a
shot from the edge of the D that
whistles Over the Bar and it’s a
Barcelona goal kick 1-1 on the night 4-3
on aggregate to 10-man Barcelona I think
Barcelona will take that that’s not a
huge issue shooting from 25 30 yards
we’re just in a replay of was it on the
side or not yes by about 2 yards yeah I
think you can even see that with a naked
eye we don’t need 3D imaging for that
one do we not at all the semi-automated
offsides it’s something that’s been
brought into the Premier League although
Midway through next season why they
can’t bring it into the start of the
season so it’s a Level Playing Field for
the whole campaign is I’ve no idea
because it’s the Premier
League and we like to do things a little
bit differently they certainly do no but
I think you know the the 3D imaging is
fantastic when it’s tight when it’s
really that waterfall or pain of glass
whatever you want to call it yeah yeah
gives you a real clear image rather than
those stupid red and blue lines that we
see from week to week at least you get a
proper idea of what body part is
offside two minutes to Half Time
Rafia was barged into by Nuno Mendes so
Barcelona get a free kick just inside
the PSG half of the field on the barel
right bonus game though isn’t it that
exactly the first leg was exactly the
same it’s just like you’ve got no idea
who’s in control of this game no idea
where the next goal is going to come
from I think the quote that I’ve used
before is the ball’s going to need a
paracetamol at half time cuz he’s just
getting whacked and kicked everywhere
without at times a great deal of finesse
but at other times there were some
Sublime touches out there not least that
finish from Den Bell that’s brought
Paris sgain level on the night here they
are again with barcola down the left
hand side in the last minute of normal
time skips inside kundai still going
barcola volleys it across the face of
goal demell couldn’t get on the end of
that that was just hit too fiercely by
Bradley barcola but this is as Danny
milser said the pattern of the game that
we’re likely to see for the rest of the
game the front three of Barcelona
testing the front three of Paris sgain
rather testing B’s backline time and
again 1-1 although to Stan it still
really hasn’t been tested is he no I
think he’s had one save to make okay he
could do absolutely nothing about the
goal at the back post fired into the
roof of the net fantastic volley from
dembele but apart from that he hasn’t
really had a save to make goal kick
downfield from T Sten tries to get Rafia
away but Fabian Ru did really well but
then he clattered into pedri on
halfway and that’s a free kick
Barcelona’s way as we’re about to move
into added time at the end of this first
first half be interested to see how much
the Romanian referee has added on 3
minutes is what he’s elected to add on
at the end of this first
half and this is anybody’s I could see
any result happening at this point I can
see extra time Danny I can see Barcelona
hanging on somehow at this score line
booking for Fabian Ruiz incidentally you
can see PSG getting another one and then
running away with it and scoring three
yeah this Anything is Possible the way
this game has developed and this is why
I think the other half of the draw will
be looking at these two games and
thinking yes we’ve got if we get to the
final yeah we should win it Dortmund are
two nil up against Atletico Madrid on
the night so they lead 3-2 on aggregate
in the vest Valen stadium and they’re in
stoppage time at the end of that first
half as well bit of treatment for the
Barcelona player which will eat into
these 3 minutes valy time which have
already begun so there’s going to be a
bit more than the three before the
halftime whistle goes Rafia back on his
feet we just get another look at the
goal on the monitors yes the uh the
Barcelona goal where yamal outpaced
Mendes played it very carefully across
the face of goal with the outside of his
left Boot and Rafia put it in with his
left knee when he was going for the ball
with his right leg knew nothing about it
but he celebrated anyway as you should
oh definitely it was a swinging a Miss
wasn’t it with his right foot hit his
standing leg and went in it’s not how
it’s How many um he’s got one that’s not
a problem pedri ped’s got a marshmallow
up his nose he OB a bit of blood from uh
a flump yeah a flump up his nose from
the the contact that brought that free
kick I think Nudo Mendes was expecting
yamal to cut inside which is what he did
a lot in the first game but this time he
used his Pace down the outside and we’re
expecting him to wiiz it across May with
his right foot but he doesn’t he uses
the outside of his left foot very very
clever play from the youngster to create
the goal one-1 on the night 4-3 on
aggregate to Barcelona but they’re down
to 10 men remember 2 minutes of the
additional three have been played but
there’ll be a bit more to
come because of the delay with that
injury to pedri demele who equalized for
PSG receives the ball right hand side
clips it in field to vtina vtina squares
it to his left anuno Mendes barcola
waiting on the left hand side but it’s
crossed over to the
demele across the face of gold and only
just narrowly wide not sure whether he
was going for goal or trying to find a
teammate with the ball back across the
face as it was it skewed off the outside
of his right boot and only went just
wide of test Stan’s right hand post goal
kick 1-1 on the night 4-3 an aggregate
baser I think he’s trying to put that
back across goal just having a look at
his ey line and then he goes oh it
nearly went in I think he just got that
a little bit wrong it almost squeezed in
at the far post very very
close 3 minutes of minimum stoppage time
have gone as Lincoln City Take the Lead
at Oxford United early in the second
half remember Lincoln started the night
in8th Oxford in sixth Daniel
mandrew for Lincoln who lost their first
game in 17 at the weekend to Wigan
Athletic on one hell of a run under
former leads coach Michael
Scala here’s levandowski for barasa at
the end of this first half for played in
field looking for pedri one back by
Paris sjain and it’s headed up to
halfway but jul kund just steps in and
Hoops it high into the Barcelona night
sky headed forward by Canelo but marinos
will deal with that and send it back to
his keeper the giant Donal Ruma if this
was two teams Dan in different kits and
you didn’t know you never guess it was
PSG versus Barcelona would
you not
really Force out of play as it’s given
away by Paris sanjam man in their own
defensive third marinos asking too much
of hakeim with the ball out to the right
hand side so now Barcelona get a chance
to hit a long throw into the PSG box
right at the end of the half but Canelo
elects to go short to Frankie dong tries
to flick it with the outside of his left
boot wasteful from Canelo
and Paris sjain should be able to clear
their lines referee looks at his
watch and puts his whistle to his mouth
he’s going to bring the first half to a
close in a minute but wait a minute here
come Paris sjain with barcola plays the
ball out to mbappe left hand corner of
the Box Clips it down the left hand side
for Fabian R who plays it back and it’s
out of play for a corner which will not
be taken because the referee blows for
halim after another frantic half of
football between Barcelona and Paris San
gain we started the night 32 on
aggregate to Barca Rafia quickly
extended that aggregate score line in
barca’s favor to 4-2 by opening the
scoring after great work on the right
hand side for Barcelona by lamin
yamal Rafia tucking the ball away with
his standing knee at the near post but
then it all changed there was a red card
for a f
that was deemed to be denying a clear
goal scoring Opportunity by Ronald
aralo on Bradley barcola straight red
for the center half and then wouldn’t
you just know it the lore of the X
strikes again Usman demele who’s been
getting whistled and cheered all night
by the Barca fans equalized with a
terrific half Voli
finish from the right hand side of the
six-yard box so it is one one halim 4-3
on aggregate to Bara who were down to 10
pick the bones out of that Danny Mills
crazy frantic I think I need to turn the
lights off let you have a lay down in
the dark room and get you a cup of tea
it’s been Absolut it’s been end to end
it’s been balls given away it’s been
lited with mistakes two fantastic goals
one slightly fortunate from Rafia great
play from The Young Lad yamal down the
right hand side a fabulous volley at the
far post from demele
M bpp’s been quiet though hasn’t he as
he as he was in the first leg
levandowski has not really been into it
and the referee has let the game go as
much as possible I still think it’s a
harsh red card not convinced there’s
enough in that for a
foul but High bar with v they’ve gone
with the referee’s decision they’ve
allowed that to stand Barcelona go
certainly going to be upy against it in
the second half I wonder what Lu Enrique
is thinking about whether he makes
changes for Paris sgain at the
turnaround he’s got a man Advantage now
for 45 minutes if we assume that nobody
else is going to get set off at this
point what what they need is
a creative 810 in the side that that’s
what if he’s going to change anything
that’s what he he’s got Pace with them
Bell down the right hand side he got
sheer pace and skill with him Bay bolo
wants to get the ball and run in behind
obviously Barcelona are going to sit
back you know and they’re going to
defend if I was Javi it’s like right
come on you going have to defend
properly now and you’re going to have to
defend in a serious way not go forward
at will take care of the ball so
therefore as they get a little bit
deeper it’s harder to find spacer have
PSG got that one player that can maybe
just unlock a very very rigid defense
well when you look at that Paris San man
bench looking for players in Midfield
they don’t really have many they got
ugat is a holding midfielder Solair
maybe Gonzalo Ramos as an attacker
asencio could play deep but there’s not
many options for exactly what you’re
talking ugar is the holding midfielder
that could maybe have that calm head
that Paris San might need to the base of
Midfield yeah and and so this is what
you know sometimes it’s easy to think we
just throw a load of attackers doesn’t
always work like that cuz you end up in
each other’s space you end up with four
up front five up front at time
and the Defenders don’t have to move the
way that you find space is by moving the
Defenders so if there’s if there’s
always players within your eyesight you
just stay in your slot and you think
well actually we’re okay in that
situation so and this is where Man City
have been so impressive in the past
playing that false nine there’s nothing
worse than a Defender having nobody to
mark because you feel absolutely lost so
yeah it’ll be intriguing in terms of
tactics in the second half well I tell
you to call it a fascinating second half
in store would be putting it mildly
myself Ian Daner and Danny Mills will
bring you full second half commentary of
this so at the moment Barcelona are 43
up on aggregate in this Champions League
quarterfinal second leg but they are a
man down the score at halim in the

League being Harry Kane’s final hope of
a trophy this year now he doesn’t
believe the season has been a failure
despite this distinct lack of silverware
from the club’s point of view it will be
a foul season if we don’t win anything
this year because we’re expected to to
win uh but then all we can do is is take
that into into next year and and try and
turn that around so uh yeah I think
that’s uh there’s a harsh you know in
winning and losing and of course that
you can do a lot of good things
throughout the year and still end up on
the on the losing side so uh I don’t
think it’s just uh as you know as harsh
as that you know there’s a lot of things
that go into it but um I think the main
thing for us right now is that we still
have an opportunity to turn a season
into into a great season if if we win
the Champions League so that motivation
is still there and as players you can
only hang on to that and um yeah if we
can do something special tomorrow night
then of course that keeps that hope
alive
Harry Kane Bayern Munich
forward who will be part of the team I’m
sure that takes on Arsenal tomorrow
night so that’s on talk sport that
second leg with Jim padford and the
former England Striker and Arsenal fan
let’s not forget Darren bent he’ll be
alongside Jim for commentary on that
Adrien Durham your
host and Adrian’s going to be at the EAD
stadium and that’s where Manchester City
and Real Madrid will lock horns here on
talk sport 2 for their quarterfinal
second leg that’s 33 from that thrilling
first game in the bernabo Sam matterface
and former Manchester City manager
Stuart Pierce will be your commentary
team for those
quarterfinals and that’s why the talk
sport app is so useful cuz things can
change on a knife edge and it was a mad
night when those two teams played Danny
Mills last week the two English sides
what Prospect do you think there is of
an all English semi-final
oh good chance um I would say I think
man city will have
enough Arenal okay they’ll be
disappointed from the weekend but I
think again maybe they can just say
right let’s just go for it you know
again this is not the Bayern Munich of
old they’ve got some great players some
great experience in there but I think we
saw in the first game Arsenal have got
more than enough and Arsenal have shown
generally defensively how good they are
all season goals going in elsewhere in
the efl Mansfield of double their lead
against Arrington Steven Quinn makes it
Mansfield 2 Arrington nil Manfield are
going up to League one after many years
in League 2 congratulations to Nigel clu
and the Stags it would appear to be
there’s for the taking Portsmouth won
barnesley to John MC’s put barnesley
back ahead to try and spoil the party at
fratton and maybe The Comebacks on for
knots County against Stockport County
McCauley langsta top scorer in League 2
this season has got one back for knots
knots County won stop Port four
Stockport going to win the title in
League 2 tonight but we are back
underway at the Olympic Stadium
Barcelona no changes at the break from
the teams that we had at the end of the
first half I’ll run you through the
lineups in just a moment Paris saner in
their chain strip of all white with a
red and blue bar across the chest
they’re attacking the goal to our right
Barcelona in their traditional red and
blue as Atletico Madrid get an early
goal at the start of the second half in
Dortmund to bring that tieback level at
three a piece what a game they’ve got
there in Dortmund I said last week Dan
that the team that win the champions
league is the team that defends best you
know simp as that they’ve all got
unbelievable attacking press and
attacking Talent well here’s kilan m
bappe one of the greatest attacking
talents in World football trying to work
his way down the left hand side of the
box back heals the ball against bar Cola
wants a corner but it’s been given as a
goal kick so quickly the lineups for
10man Barca T Sten the goalkeeper kundai
Martinez
cuasi and Canelo in a back four still
then dong gundan pedri Rafia and
levendowski make up the nine Outfield
players for Paris sgain Donna Ruma the
keeper Hakimi marinos Lucas Hernandez
and
mendz Di Emory vtina and Fabian Ruth
demele mbapp and barcola so remember if
you’re just tuning in it’s 1-1 on the
night Barcelona still have a one-goal
advantage on aggregate 43 is the current
aggregate score line but as I was
mentioning they are down to 10 remember
that first half red card issued to
Ronald Aro and here come Paris sjain
down the left hand side with barola who
set up the equalizer for dembele rolls
it back and it finds vtina center of the
Barcelona half plays it out to
demele right hand corner of the area
tries to go slow and then quick to get
past his man keeps possession by the
corner flag and then wins a throw of
pedri who stuck to his task pretty well
Crawley have equalized against Barra
their top scorer danelo ory has brought
them
level down there in Sussex Crawley won
Barrow won and not County got a second
against stock for County maybe the
comeback is on Dan Crowley former
Arsenal man has got them further back
into the game and it was an own goal
from Matt Hummel that got Atletico back
leveled on aggregate in
Dortmund Paris sjain in
possession with Luca Hernandez leaves it
for vtina center of the barcel half
rolls it out to the ever willing barcola
on the left wing it goes back in field
to vtina little run from hakeim into the
box but vtina running with the ball into
the left hand corner of the box then
feeds it out left for barcola and bappe
drops deep to pick up possession chips
it back into midfield for marinos the
captain hakeim moving up towards the
edge of the area goes for goal an
uncertain goalkeeping from Tess Sten he
turned it over the bar he was going
completely the opposite way to the way
the ball went and it didn’t deviate and
somehow his left wrist turned it over
the crossbar when that could easily have
gone into the back of the net big Stroke
of Luck for tan one1 and have no idea
what he was doing Dan what he was
thinking there there was not I thought
they had to be deflect but there’s no
sign of there patinho with the cross to
the far post Bola brings it down tries
to drive it Go was but there was a
deflection and that made the gather much
easier for testen that time but the shot
from hakeim didn’t take a touch off aasa
Defender it obviously
moved T saw it late I don’t think it did
seen it from behind the goal I mean it
didn’t move enough for that to happen
just a a laps in concentration that very
very lucky misten in the
end well look you said it Danny Mills
the pattern of the game would be that it
would be attack versus defense Paris
sjain looking to bring the tie leveled
on aggregate they’ve only got one goal
to find to do
that and they’re pushing already at the
start of this second half we played 4
and 1/2 minutes since the restart 1-1 on
the night 4-3 on aggregate barcola again
down the left hand side for PSG trying
to go on the outside of kundai good
defend again from the French right
back and he plays it up to levandowski
leandi is caught him here and
levandowski has been penalized for a
foul on Hernandez and he’s going to get
himself a yellow card yeah he knows what
he he’s protecting himself he had three
challenges in the first half where
Defenders came through the back of him
it’s a ball chipped up and he knows
somebody’s coming he’s got his arms out
to protect
himself yeah and he just catches LC
Hernandez yeah on the side of the head
with a forearm I think a yellow card’s
about right cuz he’s not gone with him
it’s not a blatant elbow he’s not he
hasn’t clenched his fist and given him
one yeah he’s put his arms across him to
to try and protect himself and catches
him in the face 1-1 here one1 at the
poundland as well swinden equalized at
waral Paul glatzel for the Robbins to
try and Dent wal’s late hopes of
mounting a playoff challenge hakeim at
1-1 for Paris sjain tries to cross from
the right hand side deflected up in the
air and headed cleared by gundan and his
patience and calmness is going to be
vital for Barcelona in this second half
y Kai gundan well they’re going to need
it because the pattern of the second
half has started already Barcelona
struggling to get out of their half that
times and their record here in the
Champions League at the Olympic stadium
is impeccable 100% so far how many games
not many well five it’s not bad though
here’s demele who got the equalizer
finds mbappe inside the D plays it to
his s Fabian Ruiz drags It Wide of goal
massive chance for Paris sjain to take
the lead on the night and draw leveled
on aggregate but Fabian Ruiz dragged his
left foot shot the wrong side of the
post goal kick unselfish from mbappe
little bit surprised that he didn’t take
that on
himself played it out wide and R re he
scuffs it he tries too hard to too much
Pace on it digs it into the ground and
pulls it well wide in the end don’t
forget once all these European ties are
done tonight tomorrow night and Thursday
with Europa League games we’re bringing
you with the three English sides across
the talk Sport Network then trans Europe
Express Sunday night at 9:00 is
essential listening on talk Sport with
Danny Kelly and Andy brassel as they
look to talk about all European football
matters and I guess they’ll have a long
shot about killing mbappe who I guess
is auditioning for his inevitable move
to Real Madrid with a performance in
Spain
tonight but he’s had a quiet night so
far as you just heard from Danny Mills
there mbappe very unselfish in trying to
set up faban Ruiz for that
chance rather than go for goal himself I
mean it’s great isn’t it you know we’re
now in the business end of the season
you know some some great after you said
I to get these European fixures out of
the way some fantastic Premier League
games Championship League One games
League two games at the weekend the next
week again there’s more you know Arsenal
Chelsea after Chelsea’s win last night I
think be fantastic confidence Arsenal
what will happen after the Champions
League will there be a hangover from
that I mean it’s tough for Aral they
play Saturday night and then Tuesday
next week so that that’s a very very
quick whil mar San Shan were given the
weekend off by the French Football
Federation help well and Spain often do
that as well don’t they you know they
play on a Friday night or or they help
out so yeah I mean it’s it’s just
frantic right the way through to the end
of the season minut gone in the second
half Barcelona won psg1 PSG down the
left hand side with Fabian Ruiz plays
the ball in field Nuna Mendes finds
mbappe at the edge of the area with his
back to goal Z Emery with a good ball
for dembele tries to lift the ball from
the right hand corner of the area but
it’s blocked behind for a corner by
Canelo psg’s fourth corner of the night
and demele as you can probably hear
is the man interested with taking it
from the right hand side well let’s hope
his corner is better than his last one
where he kicked it straight out of
play yes it went straight into the side
netting he’s elected to take it short
and roll it in field to hakeim across to
vtina space to try the B go oh what a
goal
Bia what a way to bring your side
level magical
strike two and two championsship games
for vitina
and that was a strike along the deck of
real quality from 25 yd out that beat T
Sten all ends up it’s 44 on aggregate
Paris sjain level on aggregate ahead on
the nights and we’ve still got over half
an hour to play it’s a magnificent hit
and I think this is because Barcelona or
that player down they’ve allowed vtina
on the edge of the Box have a little bit
of freedom and SP is thinking that he’s
no real danger he must be 25 yd out and
he hits a right foot shot he comes
across it and I think the wet surface he
he just hits into the surface a little
bit it skids up and flies into the far
Corner great strike goalkeeper
absolutely no
chance so now Barcelona in possession of
the edge of the area oh it’s just been
fired wide by gundan from the edge of
the area I think that clipp the outside
of the post it’s very very close I
mean oh it does yeah great spot dance
absolutely superb so unlucky they’ve
hardly been in the PSG half in that
wasn’t so much a spot I just heard the
clink of ball against upright in my
headphones well good ears then I would
say better than mine there’s people that
would disagree with you about my hearing
oh now jaby is going absolutely berserk
on the top he just kicked he’s been sent
off he’s just kicked the foam surrounds
of the cameraman whose cameras on the
halfway Line Station between the two
technical areas jabby seen something he
do like he’s kicked those bits of phone
that protect the
camera and he’s been sent off by this
very officious referee from Romania isan
Kovach so barcelon are down to 10 then
and now their manager’s been dismissed
well and if you’re talking about desent
I mean I’m not sure ja made a tackle
like that in his whole career if I’m
honest amazing player that he was
tackling wasn’t and kicking people
wasn’t was it but I mean he has
his that padded circle around the camera
he’s just turned around and
launched one of the pads right in front
of the the fourth official you can
understand it it it’s blatant descent
isn’t it although also his his coach one
of his coaches was booked at the end of
the first half as well that’s correct so
if he starts to complain he could have
two coaches in the stand I mean it’s
just just barmy this game absolutely
barmy but so
fascinating you’re listening to talk
sport 2 in the Champions League Ian dter
and Danny Mills we’re both scratching
our heads watching this one for you and
wondering what on Earth is going to
happen next 2-1 Paris San lead it’s 44
on aggregate here come Barcelona with
pedri down the left hand side just
wriggles past Z Emory Canelo on the
overlap gets to the ball line decent
cross levandowski declines but can’t get
the strength he wants on the head he was
really having to lean back and it just
looped into the Grateful arms of
donaruma I mean the game is so open I
thought Barcelona might sit in and try
and be a little bit
defensive giv away again this time by
enigo Martinez forward comes Fabian Ruiz
mbappe chips it into the area looking
for Fabian Riz who continue this run but
it was over hit by mbappe triing a
little pitching Edge over the top and it
just bounced through to T and that Luis
Enrique is fully invested in this and
telling his players to calm down in the
most exuberant way possible yeah in not
a very calm fashion yeah I mean it is
just fascinating to Bolton 2 Shrewsbury
2 in League one Paris Moma brings Bolton
back level for a second time what you
think of in B so far quiet again but he
might get involved here as barola rolls
the ball back to Z Emy 25 yds out finds
demele right hand corner of the box he
first that’s not great challenged by
Canelo penalty
given it’s all going against Barcelona
right now Canelo penalized for a
challenge on demele whose first touch
wasn’t great it invited the challenge
but demele got the ball away from
Canelo the foul was committed and it’s a
penalty
for Paris San to try and take the lead
in this tie yeah it’s right it’s a
penalty it is he doesn’t get the ball he
comes through the back of dembele demele
has a loose touch and that encourages
Canelo to think he can go and win the
ball but demele just gets his left foot
in between the
ball and Dr Canelo who goes through the
back of him penalty this is definitely
going to be given without a shadow of a
doubt rash Challenge from Canelo to make
it the Manchester City
Loney at Barcelona protests his
innocence V is obviously double-checking
it because isan Kovac is prowling around
the penalty area with his finger to his
ear but kilan
mbappe has spotted the ball down he will
take the responsibility from 12 yds to
try and put Paris sjain ahead the
penalty will take place and kovat is now
telling mark Andre T Sten to stay on his
goal line and not jiggle about which is
something that goalkeepers have been
told to do since the start of the Season
T Sten knows that and he’s still play
acting yeah but he can go sideways can’t
he he’s not is he going to get booked it
can go sideways as long as he don’t come
forward but the referee was trying to De
it and he was basically doing star jump
to either side of him wasn’t he so
mbappe against T Sten for the chance to
give Paris sgain the lead on
[Music]
agregate in this second
leg he waits for the referee’s whistle
checking for encroachment mbappe steps
up right footed and finds the roof of
the net and Paris s gerain on now 54 up
on aggregate mbappe who’s been quiet
tonight as he was in the first leg
cometh the hour cometh the man and
beppe’s penalty emphatic it’s Barcelona
one
Paris San Man 3 well he’s not quiet
anymore is he he’s quiet and everybody
else and everybody in this Stadium cam
Zoes in on Joel canel was a rash
needless challenge he didn’t need to
make that challenge but I think it was
the poor touch from
demele that sucked him into it he
suddenly thought AR okay I I can maybe
just get there and clear the ball what a
penalty calm as you like not quite top
corner but not far off it excellent
power excellent penalty from mbapp
that’s 14 goals in 12 Champions League
knockout ties never doubt that kilan
mbappe can have an influence on a
Champions League tie even when he’s as
quiet relatively speaking as he has been
over the course of the last game and a
half and surely now that puts PSG in
firm control of his tie goal up man up
they can’t lose it now they’ brought on
an extra striker in now bar so they’ve
taken off pedri who was only just back
from injury anyway and they brought on
fan Torres once of Manchester
City so now a yellow card coming
Marino’s
way for a challenge inside the PSG half
of the
field and it’s now 22 bissio Dortmund
Atletico
Madrid Angel Korea has made it 22 on the
night so Atletico are now back in front
on aggregate by four goals to three and
a reminder here that Barcelona Now find
themselves behind on Aggregate and a man
down 54 to PSG over the two legs but now
Barcelona have a free kick Torres on for
pedri to add some more attacking intent
Javi sent off Aro sent off free kick
clipped in by gundan it’s brought down
by Torres he just couldn’t get the shot
away he brought it down out the sky
unmarked but he couldn’t bring it down
and be it in front of him to get the
shot away and that allowed a Paris sjain
Defender to get it clear for a quarter
amazing stuff I think he might have been
offside anyhow just went a fraction too
early it’s almost like his touch was too
good kept it too close to his body
couldn’t get that shot
away well now Kari the Young Center half
is getting involved with Donna Ruma just
puts his arm round him with a friendly
gesture I think he said grow up
lad well Donna rum is a a tall man he’s
got to be the biggest man out there on
the field there’s not much age there’s
not a huge age gap between there is
there 25 to 17 so an 8year Gap Donald
rwe says gundan strikes the corner for
Barca into the near post headed out by
marinos the
captain 63 minutes gone on talk sport
two Barcelona one Paris sgain three on
the night 54 an aggregate Barcelona
coming forward with gundan goes down
inside the area he wants a penalty and
the referee says no he was looking for
that he was looking for that all the
time need to see it again I’m not
convinced it was I think he knew that he
couldn’t get past the with Pace no he
pulled out
W well he pulls patina pulls out of the
challenge does he catch the back of
gan’s leg no pull I think is it
marinos yeah yeah but I I think gundan
runs into marinos in all fairness goals
elsewhere sheltonham toown lead Burton
albian in League one that’s a massive
goal for the Robbins Curtis Davis has
scored for cheltam and Colchester doing
all they can to try and get themselves
safe in lead two they now lead grimby
died two goals to nil John aind is that
another Barcelona member of the coaching
staff that’s been dismissed I think it
is I don’t I don’t know who it is this
time and gundan has been booked as well
for either descent
simulation I’m not sure which if
Barcelona get through they’re going to
have no coaches on the sideline they
have no players I think at this
rate well they had a few that were
walking the yellow card tight rope
tonight dong yamalo has been substituted
and Torres who’s just come
on there quite a few walking that tight
rope for
um Paris sanj man as well notably
demele 25 minutes to go 3-1 PSG leading
5-4 on aggregate against 10-man
Barcelona what a night in Catalonia and
they’re still plenty to come but now
barcola is offside he’s going to be
careful flicking the ball away like that
with this referee a yellow card could
easily be incoming something like 25
minutes left then yeah it seems like
we’ve been in the last 5 minutes with
since the start of the game it’s it’s
just been incredible isn’t it there’s
been no control from either team whats
ever now Paris sjain in possession
inside their own half they have the
aggregate lead and they have the man
Advantage what are you thinking I’m
thinking another goal and another red
card somewhere
well Paris sanman are not exactly
approaching this with calmness it seems
to me well they’re not trying to kill
the game are they they’re not trying to
control it and just keep the ball at the
back and you know suck Barcelona onto
them they’re still just going for it
Peter two Fleetwood one Archie BS for
the Posh that could be just about it for
Fleetwood
United in League one they could be
relegated
tonight and chelham are winning at
Burton that is a big score line towards
the bottom of League one in League two
looks like Mansfield are going up
aington do have a goal back at the one
called 2-1 now Tommy Lee for Stanley to
make it Mansfield
2 aington Stanley one
a quarter of the 90 to go here on talk
sport 2 at the Olympic Stadium Barcelona
Barcelona 1 PSG 3 that makes it 54 on
aggregate to the parisians and Luis
Enrique back in the city where he played
and managed Barcelona to such great
distinction he’s getting one over on his
former
employers one back on Halfway by Warren
Z Emory plays it out to the left hand
side and Bradley VAR
Cola Clips it in field and it’s mbappe
who calmly lays it back to Nuno
Mendes here’s vitinho who whose go
brought par to this game with a
brilliant right footed strike from 25
yds out now demele who won the penalty
that saw Paris take the lead on
aggregate receives it right hand corner
of the penalty area looks to drive past
enigo Martinez and what’s he Wonder a
throw or a corner I think it’s a throw
down by the corner flag on this near
side and now barusso Dortmund with 20
minutes to go our bat level on aggregate
it’s now 44 I think that’s Nicholas F
creu that’s brought Dortmund level on
aggregate 3-2 on the night in the vest
Fallen 44 an aggregate two mad games in
the Champions League again tonight what
well and mad games last week as well
what has happened to
defending speaks a former Defender Jo
Jose Mourinho won the Premier League
conceding 15
goals I mean it’s just absolutely
ridiculous I tell any parent listening
out there You’ got a young child that
wants to be a
footballer practice on their left foot
and taks them out defending they got a
great chance it’s it’s very very
difficult to a professional footballer
but if you got a left foot and you can
defend there’s half a chance you’ll make
it these days just seeing that gol from
P cre it’s a great header flying across
the face of goal that has Dortmund that
level on aggregate so they’re heading
for extra time in
Germany Barcelona have got to try and
find a goal to force extra time here in
the Olympic
Stadium 68 minutes gone PSG 3-1 up on
the night 5-4 up on Aggregate and they
have a corner taken short by demele
rolled back to vtina from pretty much
the area where he scored 10 minutes or
so ago but he rolls it to his left to
Nuna Mendes now it’s gone out to the
left wing and barola marinos calling for
a cross in it comes but a good Claim by
T Sten on his 6yd line the barsa keeper
bows it out early but one back by Paris
s Gundam was mused out of it hakeim
finds mbappe approaching the corner of
the penalty area looks to outpaces
compatriot kundai fires it across the
face of gold but can’t find barcola and
Barcelona survived but that’s a poor
clearance from Canelo straight to Fabian
Ruiz across the 18 yard line hakeim
calms things down at the right hand
corner of the box now played back to to
Z
Emory rolls it in field for vtin vtina
looks up plays it back out to the inside
Left Channel and Nuno Mendes patinho
calmly goes back to halfway and Lucas
Hernandez barcola receives it now out on
the left wing better passing from Paris
San gain at the moment they’re keeping
the ball better and for longer
spells
mbapp goes back to the halfway Mar marel
sabitzer looks to have put brusso
Dortmund ahead on the night 54 now on
aggregate 42 in Dortmund on the
night Marcel Sava was at Manchester
United last year yeah I mean when was
the last time Athletico conceded four
goals in a again yeah Diego Simeone must
be
scratching that Curly Barnet of his
wondering what on Earth am I involved in
20 minutes to go here in the Olympic
stadium and the the outcome isn’t quite
set yet here although Paris sgain a 54
up and they are a
ManUp 3-1 up on the night the parisians
and they had that one goal aggregate
lead what a Barcelona got left in this
final 20 minutes with a man
down hakeim fouled by fan Torres as he
tried to bulldoze his way down the right
hand side and so it’s a free
kick so much has happened Dan it feels
like there’s a minut to go doesn’t it
it’s 20 OD 20 minutes plus injury
time imagine if we get the extra half
hour but I wouldn’t normally want that
dance so I’d like to get home you know
at a reasonable hour but this game is so
ridiculous I think I’ll take it tonight
Bristol Rovers leag Cambridge by a goal
to nil Chris Martin the
veteran for the
gas Cambridge only six points ahead of
the Drop Zone going into tonight that
won’t help them although
Port Vale leveled with Wickam last time
I checked as they try and get out of the
bottom four in League one fle winning
2-1 Wickam and now two1 up indeed Nigel
lonite has just scored for Wickham to
keep Fort Bale in the bottom
four now we got 72 minutes gone in the
Olympic stadium is Barcelona 1 Paris
sgain 3 on the night 54
to the
parisians here’s Nuno Mendes on
halfway plays a neat One Two Carries it
down the inside Left Channel tries to
throw it through for mbappe but it’s
just over hit by the Portuguese waral
back in front against Swindon as they
bid to get involved in the lead 2
playoffs Danny Johnson with a late
winner maybe at the poundland for waral
2-1 they lead free kick for Barcelona
they’ve got to find a goal from
somewhere in these last 17 and 1 half
minutes Rafia he’s hardly touched the
ball as he ra play the ball heide to
levandowski it’s in the D great save and
somehow C Away by marinos as fan Torres
came in on the followup suddenly it
opened up for levandowski but he brought
a great save out of
donaruma what a clearance that is from
marinos that’s unbelievable that’s as
good as a
goal absolutely fantastic he was there
to help out his goalkeeper levandowski
hits it left foot donor gets down left
hand side a strong hand but it just pops
back straight into the middle of the
goal and just as fres thinks he’s going
to tuck it away marinos comes across
stretches out his right boot and clears
it fantastic clearance it just opened up
for Robert levandowski like The Parting
of the Red Sea at the edge of the DC
move forward Paris s Defender seem to
step away from him oh Portsmith looked
like they’ve won it to seal promotion
3-2 they lead at fratt and Par they’ve
come from behind
Connor shessy with what looks like the
winner at fren
Park balls back without Mark Andre
testan the Barcelona
keeper ball played into the feet of
leandi who come really deep to pick up
possession for his side Midway point of
his own
half and he’s just had that brilliant
chance to bring 10man bars a about level
on
aggregate clicked on by fan Torres on
halfway
canel gives Chase but it’s the other
number two out there Ashraf aimi who
gets there first donarumo hustled into
the clearance by Rafia who’s now
whipping up the locals to give Barcelona
some support for this last quarter
hour ball played up to halfway but a
poor pass from levandowski trying to
fire it out to this near side the left
wing but couldn’t find anybody in a red
and blue
shirt so instead it’s a throw to Paris
sanat but that chance for levandowski
there shows Danny Mills that this game
is by nowhere near done and dusted yet
there’s at least 15 minutes to go you
know the drama is not done yet in this
game nowhere
near out to the left hand side Bradley
barcola who’s seen a lot of possession
so has to go on the outside of kundai
gets past him but pass back came kabar
the young 17-year-old Defender making
only his 14th
start for Barcelona tonight in a
Champions League
quarterfinal and he puts the ball out of
play for a throw there’s a double change
being Reed by Luis Enrique for Paris
Sanam man Kang in Lee is one of those
who’s going to be coming on to help
bolster the def defensive Midfield
ranks of Paris sjain but we’ll get that
to that in a moment because
meantime it’s a throw to Paris sanjan
but Nuna Mendes can’t keep hold of it
gone out of
play for a goal
kick so here come the changes and
uh coming off for Paris sjain Bradley
barol has really put a shift
in but he’s coming off to allow the
South Korean Kang in
Lee to come
on joined from mayorca in July former
Valencia player the South Korean and the
other player going off is Fabian Ruiz
and that will allow Marco
asencio who played up front as a false n
in the first
leg to come on for these last what 13
minutes or so here on talk sport 2 with
Paris s protecting a one goal AG get
lead fascinating climax to come it’s a
corner to PSG on the far side taken
short two Kang in lead by
dembele and dembele receives it back
level with the edge of the area whips
the ball in right footy but it’s too
deep for anybody in a white VSU shirt
goal kick barer Danny Mills I think L
enriico will be absolutely desperate for
his team just to calm down just to
settle down a little bit they’re winning
the game they’re in control they’re a
man up there’s no need to keep pushing
constantly and leave themselves
fractionally exposed at the back when
Barcelona only got 10 men fan Torres
plays an 812 with Rafia find Rafer again
at the edge of the area rolls his marker
angles tight drags it across the face of
Goen wide for a goal kick but another
example of the fact that the Jeffy is
still there from Barcelona’s attacking
front three still 3-1 to Paris on the
night 54 an aggregate it’s a great
chance I thought he was going to go down
he has a fantastic touch goes between
the two
Defenders and he just pulls his shot
wide on his left foot but you’re right
goes to show even with 10 men they’re
still creating chances but it’s terrible
defending isn’t it two on one and he
just goes through the middle of them
well that was a bit like what I saw uh
mattius CA do for Wolves at notan Forest
on Saturday getting between two players
and scoring a a cracker from a tight
angle stop for County a champions of
lead two they’ve beaten KN County 52 at
Meadow Lane congratulations to them
here’s Usman demele for Paris San he’s
won a corner trying to strike from 25 Ys
out deflected out by gundan for a corner
which I’m sure PSG will take their time
over striking into the box and they’ve
got another substitute
ready have
PSG but we’ll get to that in a minute
Adrian Durham will be happy I think
Peter but now 31 up indeed they are that
guarantees them playoffs minimum doesn’t
it yeah and we all know what happened to
Peter in last year’s playoffs courtesy
of Sheffield Wednesday’s extraordinary
come back don’t bring that up well he
can’t hear me here’s demele right hand
side plays the ball in field to Lee
across to Nuno Mendes who thought about
a shot for a moment but finds killing
mbappe left hand corner of the area
little overlap down the left hand side
of the area couldn’t find him and it’s
fired downfield by tesen but only fan
Torres up on the halfway line for Barca
and he couldn’t win the header and
kangin Lee must be two of them out there
cuz he was he was down by the corner
flag a minute ago and there he
is G the ball back to Donna Ruma just
over 10 minutes to go on talk sport 2
Barcelona 1 Paris sgain 3 on the nights
in the Champions League live on talk
sport 2 with Village hotels visit
Village
hotels.com Danny Mills along inside me
Bolton and shrewbury have drawn two a
piece so that one game in hand that
Bolton had on Derby means they’re now
three points off the ram so Derby fans
will be happy with that that shrewbury
have done their bit now they are making
a defensive Midfield change here they’re
bringing on the Uruguay Manuel ugat for
waren Emory are Paris sanj man and that
is definitely a move from Lu henrique to
tighten things up Danny
Mills I’m just surprised it’s taking him
this long to do that in all honesty
because Barcelona have still had three
good chances in this second half since
they’ve been down to 10 men and here
they are again 10 minutes to go and it’s
all or nothing for Barcelona a man down
but Canelo looks to swing the ball
across the
Rafia Paris sgain get the ball clear
hakeim inside his own half plays it to
vitina now works into Midfield Ugarte
gets his first touch how late was the
goal when Barcelona turned it around 13
minutes to go
right not as so not as late as it is
right now I think it was 77 minutes when
Christensen headed barel in front of the
par deess no I mean in the you know when
they had the huge turn around oh that
was 96 Minutes yeah I mean that was late
wasn’t it Sergio Roberto so there’s
still there’s still there’s still time
oh dead right they needed three goals in
that tie against Paris sjain with with a
minute to go of normal time and then I
think there was a penalty a free kick
Neymar was
brilliant If Only They had only actually
stole the limel from Messi for once that
night and here come Bara down the right
hand side with Rafa once of leads United
up against Nuno Mendes wants to throw
but the throw has been
given to PSG instead W have beaten
Swindon 2-1 Bristol Rovers one nil
Victors over Cambridge United double
change for Barcelona jaia Felix coming
on for JA Canelo so one Portuguese for
another and the other change for
Barcelona is about to be made they’re
just holding up the board to make sure
it’s right Frank dong is being taken
off and that will allow fing Lopez a
20-year-old
from the barcel Youth
Academy he’s going to come on in his
place scored two Champions League goals
this season FY Lopez well what a time it
would be to score his third we’re just
getting pictures of Javy in a box he
can’t really influence the game in any
way shape or form he most certainly
cannot he must have some sort of
communication well they do don’t they
have the telephone communication I’m
sure is still permitted if not I’m sure
they’ve got somebody running up and down
the stairs Peter four fleetw one Johnson
Clark Harris extends Peter lead at the
end of that
game here come Paris anaman 3-1 up on
the night 5-4 up on aggregate but hakeim
can’t ride the challenge of fering Lopez
and it’s just hoof downfield asking for
feran Torres to give Chase Nuna Mendes
very smartly lets the ball run across
his body and then brings it clear
Colchester have beaten grimby at the
foot of League 2 that’s a massive result
for the C Brothers in charge of the use
at the job
serve 7 minutes to go and there still
belief around the Olympic stadium that
Barcelona can get themselves level on
aggregate but they need one goal to do
that but they’re a man down ja Felix
freshly onto the field goes down and
he’s w a free kick late decision from
the referee but a free kick it is and
Barcelona will load the box I’m
sure they’ got no option now have they
they got to get real quality into the
box we saw last time when Christensen
came on got a free
header and PSG have got to defend much
better it’s a wide free kick he’s going
to be put in towards the back post that
you would
think so the free kick is out on the
right hand side for Barcelona about five
yds from the corner of the penalty area
rafin is going to strike it left footed
do not be offside do not not get
yourselves in offside position PSG
holding their line just inside the 18 yd
line massive moment in the game 6
minutes to go Barcelona need a goal to
bring things level on
aggregate Rafia to take the free kick in
it comes from him lofted up to
levandowski the keeper came and missed
it and it’s been given as an offside
flag there was a Barcelona player ahead
of the last Defender when the kick was
taken which is exactly what Danny Mills
you heard say don’t do it and it was LE
the guilty party he’s better than that
he’s far more experienced than that I
know they’re desperate to score a goal
but you know that you cannot take a risk
and be offside in that
situation well donor R came and missed
it anyway Portsmouth have beaten
Barnsley congratulations to Portsmouth
back in the championship after over a
decade
away wikim have beaten Port Vale at Bale
Park keeping Bale in the bottom four and
staring at the Trap all down to League
two and fleetw need snoopers don’t they
they do unfortunately 4-1 that’s
finished Peter of one to confirm their
spot in the playoffs remember the
Champions League tomorrow night he think
these games have been mad tonight with
Dortmund 4-2 up and 5-4 and Aggregate
and this one here with also a 5-4
aggregate score line in Paris San’s
favor tomorrow we got Arsenal and
Manchester City live in their Champions
League quarterfinal second legs and
there was 10 10 goals in those games I
can’t see those being clean Che either
here’s Barcelona coming forward with
levandowski holding the ball up 25 yds
out rolls it back to
gundan plays it to his left and enigo
Martinez rafini makes a run BS clipped
into the box ahead of fering Lopez who’s
not the tallest and was never going to
reach that header and the ball’s just
dribbled out of play for a Paris sjain
goal kick four minutes of normal time
remaining it is still Barcelona 1 Paris
sjain three 54 an
aggregate wow what next but barel just
looked like they’ve run out of
ideas when they get into the final third
it’s like how are they going to create
something uh the
referee is just told Donal Roma to get
on with
it as he Clips the ball down field and
it bounces out of play Nuno Mendes
couldn’t keep it in play could be new
sanctions next year can’t there or you
talk about with the goalkeeper rule the
6C rule in
I think is actually I think yeah maybe
it’s right the fact that the 6C R has
never been invoked I think it’s probably
once they tried it it’s like that rule
where they tried advancing the the free
kick 10 yards for the four descend but
it’s still there in the laws of the game
yeah it’s still but no referee because I
think a bit you holding the ball 6
seconds giving it an indirect free Kick
In The Box a shot on goal causes
absolute Mayhem so I think actually
right give a corner
that certainly gives Barcelona win it
back levandowski ready towards the edge
of the area options right and left goes
for goal himself and it’s blocked behind
for a corner kick by ugar a bit selfish
from levandowski and his teammates look
exasperated as he didn’t slip anybody
else in he had far Torres to his right
think he had gundan to his left but
levandowski went for Glory himself and
didn’t get it it’s more than a bit
selfish Dance I mean that’s a poor
decision he’s got Fen Torres if he just
rolls it into him he’s then one-on-one
he’s just going to slip it into the net
simple as that he tries and blast it
through two Defenders that’s a really
poor decision from one of the top
Strikers in the world Usman demele
against his old Club has now been
substituted and Randall K muani the
French
International is on to replace him first
thing he’s got to do is help defend this
Barcelona Corner whipped him by rafino
tipped away from under the cross far by
Donna Ruma that was almost going
in has he gone for goal there you think
it sort of looks like it isn’t it he’s
whipped it with some Pace another Corner
taken gundan rolls it back to the edge
of the Box can’t find Fermin Lopez
desperate clearance but away come Paris
sjain and it’s Ashraf aimi two to his
left one of them mbappe inside the area
hits it straight at T Sten comes out to
the edge of the area what a save T Sten
but driven in and
seals the
tie he’s second of the night that is
surely it Barcelona are going out to the
champions league and once again kiling
mbappe is the man that is blocking them
out as he did in the camp new 3 years
ago he’s scoring goals to dump basa out
it’s now 64 on Aggregate and mbappe has
hit is second and the parisians four and
the Counterattack finally had its
climax absolutely incredible I’m almost
speechless from what has happened in
this
game the Counterattack AIS down the
right hand side I think it’s four on two
the ball comes into mbapp and you think
he’s he’s got to score he it’s a poor
shot and it goes straight into to Sten
but then Barcelona somehow don’t manage
to clear
the
ball and then aseno has a shot yeah but
and it’s another save and then there’s a
a terrible clearance that I think hit it
hits
somebody the first shot is saved the
second shot miseno is saved and then
there’s a
clearance oh it hits his own
man kund smashes it against his own
Defender and it falls to mbapp who then
well from six yards out it’s not the
cleanest of strikes but it’s into the
back of the net and that’s the game over
make that 15 goals in 12 Champions
League knockout
ties for the Talisman of Paris sjain
killing mbappe as we move into 7 Minutes
of added time and now Barcelona have got
to find two
goals to force extra
time but the ball’s out of play for a
Paris sgain throw Southampton have
beaten Preston by three goals to nil in
the championship to keep tabs on the top
three dund D seconds away from knocking
out Atletico Madrid in the Champions
League they are 4-2 up on the night 5-4
up on agregate with seconds to go in the
vest Fallon
Stadium sheltonham have a massive
resulted League one they’ve beaten
Burton at the pelli by two goals to
one and bruss Norman are there they’ve
done it they’ve beaten Atletico
Madrid so both Spanish sides in the
Champions League going out Danny Mills
as things
stand and the coefficient willon be
helped for the Spaniards with
that but it’s all about Paris sjain
desperate to lift the famous trophy for
the first ever time in their
history they’ve reached a final but
never got all the way well they aren
they aren’t going to win it play like
this Dan they’re going to have to be a
lot better defensively we are all set
for a Paris sgain Dortmund semi-final as
things stand Dortmund to through
Barcelona have got to find two goals in
five stoppage time minutes from this
point on and Paris sanjan had possession
not not going to happen but the
semi-final Dortmund versus
PSG could be six
each it could well be again if I was a
bet in man I’d say both teams to score
in both legs of that
there are tears unfortunately amongst
Barcelona fans we can see on our
monitors in the stands who realize that
the
dream of another sixth Champions League
title is all but
gone for Javi and his side Javi long
since leaving the scene sent off by the
referee and here come Paris sjain again
with mbappe who’s on a hattick gets to
the edge of the area doesn’t get the
hattick because of a great save by T
Sten but my word he hit that with some
power killing mbappe fantastic strike
he’s almost been Anonymous hasn’t he he
gets the penalty and then he gets that
tapping after a little bit of luck and
some poor defending gundan for Barcelona
oh so pass intended for xia Felix but it
was under hit and intercepted by hakeim
but how it changes Dan levandowski had
the opportunity to slip in Fon Torres
and he didn’t he was too selfish he went
for Glory where Torres was in a much
better position than he was probably
would have scored and then seconds later
up the other end and it’s game over I
think there was an option to his left as
well leowski might have been gundan that
was up there with play but
nevertheless levandowski thought he was
the man for the job but as it turns out
3 minutes of the minimum seven have
elapsed it’s still Barcelona one Paris
sanan four on the night 64 on aggregate
to Lu Enrique’s side
[Music]
and Paris saner are in possession with
Ashraf
hakeim and he tries to get header away
from jaia Felix one back by raia deep
inside his own half for Barca they’ve
got to find two goals from somewhere
Ferman Lopez Just Hits it long downfield
aiming for jaia Felix comfortably headed
clear by marinos picked up though for
Barcelona by gundan just in inside the
Paris sjain half of the field little
touch from xia Felix but in Step tote
doing the job he does well but Paris
sanj just sticking footed in the ball
ricocheted back into the path of Jan
Luigi
donaruma so Dortmund a thr and PSG as
good as through to meet the Germans in
the
semi-final I know whoever makes to the
final it’s a one-off game at Wembley
let’s not forget on June the 1st but
looking at these look at the two ties in
this half of the draw dortman now PSG
whoever gets to the final from the other
half is going to f their chances and it
going be massive favorites I think throw
into Barcelona just past the halfway
line it would appear that the game is
up and a lot of supporters realize you
can hear that the lack of noise around
the
Stadium Rafia fires it into the chest of
levandowski couldn’t control it with his
back to play 25 yds out and Donna Ruma
just strolls out to the left hand side
of his penalty area to collect the loose
ball and now Trot to the edge of his
area and will clear from hands and waste
a few more
seconds downfield it goes from Donna rum
it’ll bounce away from Nuna Mendes who
handled it actually trying to keep
possession free kick to
Barcelona to be taken by juul kundai who
Clips it infield looking for the flick
of levendowski but again marinos is
there good strong header from the
Brazilian at the heart of the Paris San
defense he’s played well tonight at
times marinos he’s putting that vital
interception at one point in the second
half yeah a vital interception at a
vital time and sometimes a clearance
like that is as good as a goal you know
simple as that often gets
overlooked but if he doesn’t make that
and the goal goes in suddenly they’re on
the back
foot mbappe caught offside down the
right hand cyber into the final minute
of the minimum seven that the Romanian
referee added on and the free kick was
taken from the wrong place by Rafia and
he’s had a bit to say to the referee
that’s a yellow card for Rafia for too
much back
chat thought he was going to get another
one out then didn’t he oh me too
and he is going to get another one cuz
he’s continuing with his protest oh no
he’s he’s just getting a final warning
there from Mr
kovat I think that’s good referee in all
honesty boy oh boy he’s he’s booked him
for descent and an arguing and then he’s
like he said look if you do one more and
you’re going to get a red flick on by
levandowski Paris sanjam man win the
ball back ugar is wrestled To The Ground
by Ferman Lopez he gets a yellow card
Paris s man dummy taking the free kick
quickly the seven minutes of minimum
stoppage time are up it’s now down to
the
referee and the fulltime whistle is gone
and Luis Enrique has returned to
Barcelona where he won the treble 9
years ago and he has dumped his former
Club out of the champions league on a
dramatic night at the Olympic Stadium
kilan mppe scored a hattrick the last
time PS G came to Barcelona he’s turned
up again tonight and scored a brace to
help see Parry Sanam
through it all looked like it was going
Barcelona’s way when Rafia put barer in
front in the 12th minute but then a red
card that changed it all Ronald Aro sent
off for denying a clear goal scoring
opportunity to Bradley barcola he was
dismissed not long after Usman demele
once again scored against his former
Club to equalize as I speak to you shaby
is back out on the pitch and
remonstrating with the Romanian referee
isan Kovac very very strong words being
spoken by the outgoing Barcelona manager
as he now drudges dis disconsolately off
the field elsewhere it’s
Jubilation for the Paris San fans up in
the corner of the stand and they came
back fully in the second half vtina with
a magic strike from 25 yds out to bring
them level on agregate on 54 minutes and
then M with a penalty just after the
hour after a foul on dembele and then
just seconds after levandowski could
have
brought Barcelona level on agregate but
was wasteful and Bee down the other end
profited from an error to slam home a
fourth for Paris
San and they will take on barusso
Dortmund in the Champions League
semifinals 4-1 on the night 64 on
aggregate Danny
Mills just absolutely crazy
speechless a crazy frantic end to end
game yet again littered with mistakes
moments of Brilliance as
well just an incredible intriguing game
of football so so unpredictable twists
and turns sending offs goals
chances no I don’t really know what to
say about it’s almost impossible to
analyze this game it’s just two teams
where we’re used to out and out quality
and
