It wasn’t too long ago that we suggested Club America could be a dangerous team if Henry Martin or one of their others strikers hit top form. Well, Martin has done just that and the result is that Santi Solari is left loving life after a massive derby win that has Chivas headed back to the drawing board once again. We discuss the impact of that game on our perception of the Liga MX title race and check in on Juan Reynoso’s fits in another win over a fellow title contender in Monterrey. 

We also discuss all the other stories from around the world of football including Arsenal’s win over Spurs, a stalemate in the Argentine classic, and a pair of results that have league leaders Lille and Atleti left wanting more. Also on the agenda is the Champions League which returns for the final set of last 16 fixtures and we preview the decisive days ahead for Madrid’s title challengers as well as the draw for the last eight which will take place on Friday. We discuss best and worst matchups for each of the remaining teams and choose the prefect draw for an exciting set of quarterfinal ties.
