1. This week in the Champions League quarter-final first legs Manchester City beat Dortmund 2-1 in England, Real Madrid hammered Liverpool 3-1 in Spain, PSG beat Bayern Munich 3-2 on their own turf, whilst Chelsea ran away 2-0 winner away to Porto.
Which games do you think are over and which games do you think are still close?
2. Back home in the PSL, On Tuesday, Sundowns crushed TTM by 3 goals to 1, whilst Kaizer Chiefs bad form continues with their 2-2 draw against Stellenbosch.
What did you make of both games?
3. Speaking of Kaizer Chiefs, they are 9th on the PSL table, they have been eliminated from every cup competition except the CAF Champions League.
Is the issue at Chiefs just about the lack of signings or is there something else?
