One World Sports: Champions League and Playoff Seeding in MLS




Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: In the midst of a Matchday three slate of Champions League matches and the last round of Major League Soccer fixtures where both conferences face a final checkpoint for playoff seeding, the full BTP broadcast team weighs in on some key factors that could shape both competitions. Joining Anto in the first segment is Phil Brown to get into the matches of the week in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night where Arsenal delivered a shock result in a back up against the wall survival performance against Bayern Munich and yet another disappointment for Roma who fought valiantly from two goals down to squander a 4-2 lead on the road with Bayer Leverkusen. We also discuss the ongoing weak and naive meltdown for Jose Mourinho with Chelsea and whether PSG can deliver the kind of statement performance against Real Madrid at a key moment. Then in segment two, Nicolino DiBenedetto makes an appearance to gauge many of the key players and teams who are set to shape the MVP voting and a playoff chase where no clear favorites have emerged with week 34 set to shape what comes next.
