 Yeah, back on the Sportsmax zone and we turn our attention to football and specifically the UEFA Champions League matchday 6 and the group stage ended a short while ago at the signal at Duna Park Borussia Dortmund welcomed France champions PSG the hosts were already guaranteed progression to the round of 16 while PSG knew any result other than a win would remove their destiny from their own hands Let's see how it unfolded PSG have been Proplicant they've not tested Covell enough now they might this is Colin Moani getting in and Covell was ready Just one minute added I think that's what the board said and it comes and there is Hummels And he's missed the target yeah Addie Amy The onus is on themselves Brant has a go on a rumour Paris and it's out to Baino Gettens who slips untimely Kenyos to Hakimi Kimi took a risk and he's been robbed now By Ben Sabahini it breaks for Falkirk Falkirk Teaser Badie Amy Borussia Dortmund make the breakthrough problems for PSG now But watch Ashraf Hakimi when he comes towards the ball here It's a clumsy pass. I think he knocks back there is too heavy and then there he gets caught Now Falkirk's miles on site He's sitting there waiting and then he just rolls into the path about him you this time Well, there we go. Lee finds Mbappe who's just peeled out to the left flank Barcala charges into the middle where Colin Moani is already and Mbappe decides he does it by himself Turned back by Barcala now it's That's where I think Mbappe can operate from and be at his most dangerous I really do tonight if he drifts wide like this and he gets the chance To run up people he stands them up slows them down and then goes and nobody can live with the guy No one can even get close. He drags four yellow shirts to the ball Seeing this in champions the group qualification many many times You can often come right down to the last few moments Hakimi has got it through and it looked as though Mbappe was on and Mbappe has scored And PSG have taken the lead. They've turned it round He's absolutely shattered. I've been a knock as well Goodness me how tight is that the left knee the other right knee You know That little graphic, I think it was tighter than that They were behind Newcastle in front. It was all going wrong But all's well that ends well we think and surely it will for Paris Saint-Germain Yeah PSG still well PSG doing just enough Let's stay with group F for the moment though at St. James's Park Newcastle hosted AC Milan both teams enter the contest knowing a win could potentially see them Progressing to the last 16. Let's have a look at the highlights They have to win and hope that PSG lose Newcastle have to win Here is Leal and that's their first chance and the first chance that Raphael Leal has spun Gordon is picked up a pocket of space here and there is space to run into and this is Lewis Miley And this is Joe Linton when he scored on Sunday at Tottenham. It meant very little This one means everything or could do so much space for Gordon to run into Miley intelligent enough to set it back for Joe Linton And there ain't no goalkeeper in the world but stopping that Chipped in towards the penalty spot to Maury and then it comes Into the six yard box and Christian Pulisic tucks it home Christian Pulisic They recently scored in the game against Rossi Nonec They're just checking here for offside against Raphael Leal The ball was tucked back into the path of to Maury. He missed hit it Came back to Olivia Giroux Wilson goes trotting into the centre Isac Now Bruno give a rise in courage to shoot. It hits the crossbar after a brilliant save from Mike Magnon That was a bit of magic from Mike Lay out to his left Oka for Chuck Kuayzi Kuayzi Who was a star in the Champions League? For Villareal just a few short months ago Has come up with another telling moment in this competition Your bitch is leading the charge Oka for is to his left to Maury is to his right. It's for Kaio to Maury and they've hit the post again Well, the whistle's gone And the referee didn't really make that abundantly clear to everyone But the game has gone for Newcastle United as well It is last year semi-finalists who rally to earn themselves a place in the Europa League after Christmas Yeah, Ellie wondering how Newcastle will not be in Europe following Christmas Borussia Dortmund and PSG qualify from group F to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League AC Milan will be in the Europa League Newcastle say goodbye for this season joining us now to recap the action is our football analyst Brent Sancho And you know what Brent? Newcastle's Champions League campaign promised so much They had a great start Fellaway had a great start tonight against AC Milan and yeah Milan turning it around and Although they themselves did not qualify for the round of 16 They remain in Europe and it's PSG and Borussia Dortmund who are going through to the last 16 Yeah, I think Newcastle will of course consider itself very unlucky as you rightfully said they did start well You know, but you might have to turn your mind back to that controversial call with Mbappe in their last fixture against PSG and And a penalty that I thought certainly was not a penalty and that result going against them and then again Of course tonight going ahead and not being able to finish the business at St. James's Park a team that has been Destimated with injuries. I've had their struggles as it relates to fixture Of course compilation and having a log ahead of fixtures They would think that they've really been hard done in this format of it At least deserve it of a European place in the Europa League But completely out of it and you really have to feel sorry for Eddie Howe and his troops Yeah, the winning goal for AC Milan today, Brent I had a look at it and I just wondered if a challenge should have come in midfield as a defender yourself maybe if we could Get the play going back Well ahead of this when AC Milan won the ball in the middle of the park I thought maybe a challenge should have come in it didn't and it made life very easy for AC Milan from there Yeah, I wonder as well. Yeah, maybe a challenge could have come in But I looked at that Newcastle team in and around the 60th minute. They looked right there Brent Yeah, they looked a bit like wary and I think fatigue stepped in And and of course playing in transition and going for goals and trying to win the fixture They left themselves exposed and maybe a tackle could have come in tired minds tired legs couldn't get there on time And I think a lot of that transpired It was a lot of what you could what you call last grass football was played from Newcastle desperate to get a result And yes, I you could you could pinpoint that particular moment to put it in attack But when when you're tired both mentally and physically, you know, you just can't think through a new castle A team that looked very very tired for a minute 60 onwards Really struggled and tried everything to try to get back in the game Yeah And PSG doing just enough to get through to the last 16 Borussia Dortmund It already secured their place and the PSG really holding on today to get the point that they ultimately needed to get through You know your turn your mind box a couple years ago and and the question really is When would PSG win a Champions League? I look at that look they now look a shadow in themselves a team that had the stars like Neymar and Messi and I could go on and on And champagne football as they call it they were playing but no, you know, they've really struggled even domestically I don't think they've looked comfortable in their skin in their skin Luis Enrique is trying his best to make sure that he can get You know the team playing I guess a bit more with a bit more grit and bite But they've struggled in this group and again, I go back Ricardo I mean, I don't mean to keep happening it but you go back to that result against new castle where they got that controversial penalty and if that Penalty wasn't given and shouldn't have been given who knows what have happened to PSG and their progression and that they've received today But I mean kudos to them They came back from a go down and they were able to pull a result But you know, it's a team that you look at and you don't really fancy them in the knockout stages Because you just don't know if they're going to give you that consistent level of football and quality that you need to go through a champions league knockout stages Yeah, how about the group winners then Borussia Dortmund because this was seen as the group of death and they have come through it quite comfortably in the end Yeah, again, Borussia Dortmund a team that you know hang their hat on Developing players and what we call a selling club. They've been able to produce these sorts of results. Haven't they in Europe? I mean, you know, it's a squad that's You know littered with quality and talent But certainly talent that is harnessed it is developed to be shipped out to somewhere else But they always find the collective and when you look at that Dortmund team They've been very good offensively their movement has been exceptional well-martialed at the back by old man Hummels And and they've done a good job in a group stages. They've always been tough for the group stages There's no doubt about that the Dortmund And even when they go into the knockout stages because they believe in the philosophy and the way that they should be Approaching football games and they do that every time champions league comes around and you have to get them credit You right because this was a difficult group and what made this group difficult Ricardo is because Newcastle came to life I mean, I didn't expect Newcastle to still have an opportunity to go into the next round come the final set of games But they did and they were there so credit to Dortmund and what they've been able to achieve Yeah, one question for you Brett because there were some top draw goals today I saw several very very fine strikes in in several of the matches today. I quite like the Joe Linton strike Which was your favorite on the day? Yeah, I'm there with you Because Linton is the type of player that he doesn't score easy goals does he? An absolute beauty. Oh, that was sweet. That was sweet You know, you felt at that moment there that they could probably push on and do more But for some reason I as I said, they really they're so unfortunate this Newcastle team You have to as a neutral you really have to like what they they offer But it just came up short but a beautiful strike by Linton all this is how many times you've seen You know shots like that's maroon over the bar, but well kept well Release good technical ability and an excellent strike. Yeah, excellent strike indeed Now in one of the days early encounters champions, Manchester City already guaranteed top spot in group G Traveled to Serbia to take on red star Belgrade and we have those highlights Hamilton Micah Hamilton just 20 years of age So much confidence so much ability He was perfectly teed up. He was afforded far too much room He was shepherded wide by Dragovic I've gone a long way and to roll in his first senior goal from Manchester City City's development player of the year claims their second goal of the evening Delightfully done So so and Wang this put the ball in the back of the net having withdrawn Mario Kovacic and punished further Picardia forwarded far too much room and out of silver Hamilton Hamilton dragged back Manchester City get the penalty. It's Phillips That should settle it in by Wang Delivery's good cut another who got his first goal of the season domestically at the weekend Given so much freedom terrific delivery by Wang Yeah, not the Manchester City lineup that we see week in week out in the Premier League or the UEFA Champions League Almost unrecognizable, but they get the job done against the red star Belgrade brilliant job coming from city one of two teams to finish the group stage of this season's Champions League with Maximum 18 points the other team being real Madrid and Brent a quick word on the Manchester City performance today But how they have efficiently gone through this entire group stage of the Champions League as well But allow me for a brief brief second to get at my Manchester City soapbox for a minute I mean first of all the type of players have been able to bruise and we talk a lot about how much money they spend When you look at the likes of the Parmots and the Santos that have already they sold and they pushed on the Lewis the Hamilton that we saw Saturday Bob as well It's going that terrific goal and Finn Ford and who's passed through the ranks They have done an exceptional job as a football club to be able to develop that sort of talent and Consistently produce that type of talent and credit to Phillips as well a player that has not seen a lot of time Came in and gave a very solid performance today for City It shows that the culture and ethos of that football club is right where it needs to be So that's me on my soapbox and and back that to one side But yes, they've been extremely efficient throughout not less than what you expect And I don't know if the viewers understand how difficult it is in sports to keep a consistent level a high level of performances and results in team sport is it is very very difficult But mr. Pep Guardiola makes it look so so easy Yeah, he certainly does make it look easy and Manchester City the same so another efficient performance from them All right, let's just quickly have a look at the results from today the Final matchday in the UEFA Champions League Yeah, here we go. So Manchester City 3-2 over Red Star Bell grade RB Leipzig 2-1 over young boys Barcelona losing to Antwerp by three goals to tour Letica Madrid 2-0 over Lazio Celtic 2-1 over Feyenoord Dortmund 1-1 with PSG FC port of 5-3 over Shakhtar Danez and AC Milan 2-1 over Newcastle and that brings us to the final 16 for this season's UEFA Champions League Here we go Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, Letica Madrid, Borussia Dortmund Manchester City and Barcelona those were the group winners and Also quantifying PSV, Heindhoven, Copenhagen, Inter Milan, Napoli, Lazio, PSG, RB Leipzig and Porto noticed that there is no Manchester United on that list But of course we knew that from yesterday Brent. There is the final 16. What do you make of it? It makes absolutely no sense I ask you if there are any shocks because we all know what the shock is and maybe it isn't even a shock But what do you make of the last 16? I think basically as we expected of course last year semi-finals AC Milan not being in it and no Riccardo I'm not going to talk about Manchester United because I expected them to be out of it Because I know they didn't have the quality to get into that stage of it I think for me though moving forward, you know, I normally don't like to make these out there predictions But it's very hard to see past Real Madrid and what they offer in winning this of course Manchester City Will follow a close second But I'd love to see a Real Madrid Manchester City final because I think those two teams have shown in the group stages That they're both probably head and shoulders above most of the others in that competition Yeah, sounds like a blockbuster champions the final to me Brent Sancho, when you spoke about Manchester City you made Mariah smile as she was smiling from ear to ear And thank you for not taking the bait from Riccardo when all he wants to talk about is Manchester United Thank you so much. I actually don't want to talk about Manchester United I wish you would never have to mention them that would give me peace at night. Let's take a break. Brent Sancho. Thanks very much We'll chat again soon Thank you
