As funny as it is, does all the English teams being knocked out mean that we only get four Champion's League places this season?

No

Ok, ta.

Mamadou Sarr becomes the first player to lose a Champions League round of sixteen match and an AFCON Final at the same time. Some effort.

The AFCON decision is batshit.

Conversely didn't Diaz win both at the same time?

This seems an entirely pointless application of the blackout rules.

I must admit to enjoying watching that PSG team play - they are incredible on how quickly they move the ball from back to front.

The media do not mention enough that we actually beat them at VP after being 0-2 down on the night.

As for Rosenior - i really liked him as a pundit on Sky and thought he was very articulate and knowledgeable about the game in principle. Its not taken long for me now to think he is a real arrogant wanker.

So glad they lost and quite fitting on the day they get "punished"

Not a big fan of Johnathan Wilson, but LinkedIn Liam is a great nickname.

Unwanted and underwhelming? Scientifically soporific?
