Monaco & Atlético Madrid Advance, Barcelona vs. Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund vs. Juventus, Ronny to MLS?

"Come on, lads. There's no way Arsenal come back and win this. Let's go make another shitty record."

Is it Hump Day already? Holy Cow. Let's get to it. As expected, Arsenal made a go of it, but came up just short. Groundhog Day, anyone? Yes, their naivety in the First Leg was simply too much to overcome. In the other match, Atlético Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen went to penalties before the Spanish side advanced. Here's the fallout!

Monaco 0-2 Arsenal (3-3; Monaco Advance): Daniel Taylor at the Stade Louis II
Monaco 0-2 Arsenal (3-3; Monaco Advance): Henry Winter at the Stade Louis II
Monaco 0-2 Arsenal (3-3; Monaco Advance): Alistair Magowan at the Stade Louis II
Monaco 0-2 Arsenal (3-3; Monaco Advance): Five Talking Points
Adam Bate: Typical Arsenal
Atlético Madrid 1 - 0 B. Leverkusen (Atlético Advance): Jonathan Smith at the Vicente Calderón
Atlético Madrid 1 - 0 B. Leverkusen (Atlético Advance): Zach Woosley's Report

Don't get too comfortable, now. There are a couple more matches on the menu this afternoon, and both have the potential to be excellent. Check it:

We mentioned the pitch invasion following the Reading FA Cup win yesterday. There was some racism, as well. Here's more on the Madejeski Madness. Speaking of racism, Les Ferdinand is speaking of racism.

And finally...as if our country didn't have enough problems already, Ronny wants to come here in 2018.

Onward!!
