On the podcast today; even for Real Madrid this felt like a particularly novel way to progress in the Champions League, with Atlético’s Julián Alvarez adjudged to have double-kicked his penalty in the shootout. Cue confusion on the pitch, in the dugout, the press box and at home. But, once the dust had settled, Carlo Ancelotti’s team were through … again.

Elsewhere, Aston Villa and Arsenal progress without incident. They’ll be rewarded with ties against PSG and Real Madrid respectively.

Plus, there’s a Carabao Cup Final to look forward to, some less exciting Premier League games and your questions answered.
