Have Arsenal shown they do have 'bottle'?

Arsenal beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 on the night, and 3-1 on aggregate, to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But after many had questioned their 'bottle', have Mikel Arteta's side risen to the test - and shown that they are marching towards an incredible quadruple? Manchester City lost 5-1 on aggregate to Real Madrid, meaning boss Pep Guardiola has won one Champions League trophy in ten years at the club. Is this a good enough return for a manager of his calibre? Or, does it show just how difficult it is to win Europe's premier competition? And, after Chelsea were thrashed 8-2 by PSG on aggregate, has Liam Rosenior shown he has a lot to learn - and fast - as Blues boss? Plus, African Football Reporter for The Guardian, Osasu Obayiuwana joined to discuss Senegal being stripped of their AFCON title, as it was awarded to Morocco; and will it be down to FIFA President Gianni Infantino, or American President Donald Trump, to decide whether Iran plays at this summer's World Cup?

Did Spurs show the fight at Liverpool which will keep them up?

Tottenham Hotspur scored a 90th minute equaliser to draw 1-1 at Liverpool... did the result and performance show they'll have enough to retain their Premier League status? Or, was it actually the worse case scenario, as interim boss Igor Tudor will now continue in his role? And, is Arne Slot's job at Liverpool totally secure? Chelsea lost 1-0 at home to Newcastle, but even the defeat was overshadowed by the players huddling around the ball before kick off, which referee Paul Tierney got stuck inside. Boss Liam Rosenior said the huddle was the players' decision, as they look to "respect the ball", but is this just performative nonsense? Plus, will Michael Carrick get the Manchester United job permanently after another victory? And, after 16-year-old Max Dowman became the league's youngest ever scorer after he sealed Arsenal's 2-0 win over Everton - which sent them nine points clear at the top of the table after Manchester City's 1-1 draw at West Ham - could he make Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the World Cup?YouTube: talkSPORT - YouTubeX: talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) / XInstagram: talkSPORT (@talksport) • Instagram photos and videosWebsite: Live Radio, Breaking Sports News, Opinion - talkSPORTHosts: Jim White, Simon Jordan and Martin KeownPodcast producer: Ollie Stevenson Hosted on Acast.
