Arsenal secured their place in the Champions League quarter-finals, becoming the sole English side to advance from Tuesday's matches, while Manchester City and Chelsea suffered significant disappointments. Arsenal overcame Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 at the Emirates, with Mikel Arteta's side advancing despite a challenging match. Pat Nevin and his panel dissected the contrasting fortunes: City, trailing 3-0 to Galatasaray, and Chelsea, also 3-0 down at home to Leverkusen, both failed to stage comebacks. Key debates included whether Bernardo Silva should have been sent off for Chelsea's penalty and if Liam Rosenior can salvage his season for the Blues.

The panel also reacted to Morocco being crowned AFCON champions.
