sport now and by munich and through to the semifinals of the champions league after defeating 8 to 2 thomas miller's goal of 2 of the gulls as his tame became the 2nd german squad to advance to the champions league semi's alongside leipzig have already won the bundesliga and the german cup this season and hoping to climb all 3 major trophies next take on the winner of the match between manchester city and. and to discuss the game and the tournament we're joined by chris harrington chris thanks for joining us so not a huge surprise perhaps that buying one but by such a launch margin was anybody expecting that to no i don't think that was expected you buyer to put the ball over the knee and give them a good spanking e.u. no if you fell asleep at half time you probably thought the game was over then you wake up to your shock and i say wow they doubled their result you know this 8 to

you know result you have to give a lot of credit to thomas thomas no that was the man of the match you see his career be resurrected under a hard sci flick he had a brace in this match as well as in the sense that he's known as the route boy for those german speakers out there that need space interpreter he does that better than anyone else on the pitch and it's great to see him in the player. philippe continue had a brace to his parents as well he didn't celebrate probably a smart move on his part kept it classy you know but they did which was beyond done at that point it's a historic 1st time goals of his court of the champions league byron tipped their head to them for doing that and is the biggest loss barcelona have been headed on the european stage i mean they have admitted they've hit rock bottom well by and have not hit rock bottom they're doing soaring in fact of what they've won the german lake and the german cup what chances are they that they can take on the champions league as well will the trouble right when you win 3 trophies in one year

20122013 was a last minute could. complex that and under a hans the flick who was supposed to be the placeholder now he's holding it down you know he's the perfect leader undermine munich and i think that they look they're in a very good position to secure the trouble that's their captain model unoiled wants to all of the old season players want as well as the young class i think that it be a safe bet to put your money on buying munich right now while much has been saved in the posse is about how the bundesliga was losing ground over the other top legs . etc what should we make of the fact that 2 of the 4 surviving tames are now from the bundesliga what 2 things 1st off it's not boring ok that's one of the complaints a lot of people say but i mean it's always easily when the but as they get there hasn't been the case the last 2 seasons and it's becoming more competitive we see rb leipzig being a presence in the semifinals i think no one saw that you know especially without t.-mo vanna last season we saw in all english final you know the tide is turning

you know and when you have the last day all of these clubs are elite you know so it could really fold anyway and then this season has a a one off is the reality so it's good for the but as they got up to say we could potentially have an all german final very interesting and that is one more quarter final to go manchester city versus me on saturday you know predictions well they have your favorites or manchester city under pep guardiola they have yet to lose that you have been sleek leo on the other hand you know they've had their bumps and bruises they've picked up 3 losses they have to rely on if is deep a he's been there magical boot or man city you know they have a number of players they can hurt you as does leo but you know pep guardiola the former byron manager came out saying that it could anything could happen you know winnings that guaranteed you know they're obviously going to you know gun for some sort of trophy this season because they've missed out on everything this season is so my thoughts are man city will win i'm not sure it'll be
