Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

It’s Champions League quarterfinal time! On this episode, Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe dive into the four UCL matches from earlier this week. In the first segment, we discuss Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid. What was up with Atleti’s 5-5-0 shape? And how did City get their goal? We answer those questions. In the second segment, we get into Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Benfica and Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over Chelsea. Liverpool…very good? Real Madrid…through to the semis? Finally, in segment three, we talk about Villarreal’s 1-0 win over Bayern Munich. How much did Joe love Villarreal’s possession shape? And how much will Villarreal regret not putting another goal past Bayern? We talk about it.Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by...Edmunds!
