Szoboszlai is the new Gerrard as Liverpool thrash Galatasaray

Liverpool overpowered Galatasaray to win 4-0 in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie at Anfield, with a 4-1 aggregate victory booking a quarter-final where they will face Paris Saint-Germain. In this episode of The Reaction, we'll hear from Arne Slot and Milos Kerkez, as well as former players Jason McAteer and Jay Spearing.

Hello Rank Squad! It's the second Champions League Takeaway of the week, looking back at Wednesday's action from the Second Legs of the Round of 16 - where the final four teams booked their spots in the Quarter Finals - Barcelona, Liverpool, Bayern Munich & Atletico Madrid. We start at the refurbished Camp Nou, where Barcelona survived a first half basketball game with Newcastle United, and then absolutely flattened the Magpies in the second, playing some scintillating football that showcased just how breathtaking their attack can be in full flight. It was also an interesting night in North London, where Spurs actually won their first game under Igor Tudor, only for it not to be enough to qualify for the next round, given the collapse in the first half of the first leg. We take a look at whether this actually might be the best-case scenario for Tottenham Hotspur, with morale and momentum maintained, whilst taking Europe out of the equation in order to focus minds on the absolute necessity of survival in the Premier League. It was a strange performance from the visitors too - caught a little bit between killing the tie and defending their lead, but whilst they looked disjointed after 9 changes from the weekend, they did more than enough. In Part Two we discuss two individual record breaking legends. First off, we head to Anfield, where Mo Salah hit a pearler for his 50th Champions League goal; as Liverpool stepped on Galatasaray's neck, smashing the Istanbul side 4-0 in front of a completely partizan crowd to both revive the mood of the season, and give manager Arne Slot a stay of execution after serious pressure in recent weeks. Then, it's over to Munich, where Harry Kane matched Salah's achievement with a brace; as Bayern finished the job against Atalanta in what felt like a formality. Both missed penalties tonight. Both are amongst the best of a generation. Two icons of the modern era, reaching their milestones on a special night. It's Ranks! And remember, if you’d like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

On another goal-filled Champions League night, the quarter-finalists were set with Liverpool joining Arsenal in the final eight as England’s representatives. Newcastle suffered a 7-2 thrashing in Barcelona, while Tottenham Hotspur battled to a first win over Igor Tudor, but it wasn’t enough to get past Atletico Madrid on aggregate. So, has Arne Slot settled on a successful shape and system at Liverpool? Or was this just a bad Galatasaray side? Can Igor Tudor’s Spurs replicate this kind of performance when the pressure is back on in the Premier League? Did Eddie Howe’s brave tactics lead to a humiliating scoreline for Newcastle, or is there a wider problem with English teams playing in Europe? Former players Paul Robinson, Andros Townsend, Stephen Warnock, Andy Reid and Chris Sutton join Mark Chapman, Ian Dennis, Chris Coles and John Murray for all the reaction to the Champions League round of 16, and you’ll hear from Liverpool boss Arne Slot.
