Champions League Debrief: Liverpool book their place in the last 16

Football Daily

Liverpool qualify for the Champions League's last 16 but Aston Villa have work to do.

Kelly Cates is joined by senior football reporter Ian Dennis, former Liverpool left-back Stephen Warnock and former Tottenham forward Andros Townsend to reflect on Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Lille and Mo Salah scoring his 50th European goal for the club.

Aston Villa remain in the top eight, on goal difference, despite their 1-0 defeat at Monaco and Barcelona have booked their place in the knockout stages after a 5-4 victory at Benfica.

Correspondent John Murray and the former Arsenal defender Matt Upson join the pod from a restaurant in Paris ahead of Manchester City’s crucial league phase match against PSG.
