Two quarter-final classics to savour as Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Manchester City set the standard.
David Sneyd FOR THE BAD patriots but good company men , TNT Sports was the channel of choice tonight.
“This is what you dream about as a player, a season-defining night,” Rio Ferdinand told presenter Laura Woods as they walked from the tunnel at the Emirates Stadium to their pitchside desk where Martin Keown was waiting. It was a statement he repeated pitchside which prompted Keown of all people to interject. “Don’t underestimate Bayern Munich. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”And while Arsenal-Bayern had top billing on TNT 1, there was only one place to start before the channel-hopping began.City take the lead on two minutes through Bernardo Silva’s superb long-range free kick that was so far out and from such a tricky angle that Andriy Lunin didn’t feel it warranted a wall.
