Innocent and Taylor regroup to breakdown the first wave of Champions League Round of 16 second legs along with the first legs of the Europa League Round of 16--they attempted to check back into the Motel 6 Conference League, but the rooms are still being prepared.

The duo analyzes what went wrong for PSG and why Bayern are positioned to win the competition, as Messi and Mbappe were completely erased by a dynamic Bayern defense and Paris were finished off by yet another former player. Taylor then ruthlessly condemns Antonio Conte for horrendous tactics and incomprehensible substitutions in Tottenham's lifeless draw in London to an already lackluster Milan. Next, the two express newfound fears of Chelsea, who sprung to life at Stamford Bridge and overcame a seemingly unstoppable Borussia Dortmund. Finally, deserved banter of Club Brugge is brought into the spotlight, as Benfica bodied the reigning Belgian champions, leading to Scott Parker's second sacking of the season.

Our European football experts then turn to the Europa League, where Innocent highlighted his Manchester United Red Devils' massive win over Real Betis at Old Trafford. Taylor then explains how Roma continue to evolve into a true European power as they handled Real Sociedad at the Olimpico. The duo then attempts to make sense of the chaotic, exceptionally entertaining "Union Derby" between former group stage foes Union Berlin and Union St. Gilloise. Innocent then reveals a baffling take on Arsenal, who struggled in Lisbon against a promising Sporting side. Finally, they express gratitude to Angel Di Maria, analyze the ass goal scored by Shakhtar, scratch their heads at Sevilla, and pay respect to Leverkusen.
