Ronaldo & Messi are both out of the Champions League and everyone in the media was quick to throw blame especially after Juventus exited in stunning fashion to Porto. On today's show, we take a more level-headed approach and try to sort out what exactly went wrong for the Italian champions and what it means for the future of Ronaldo and Andrea Pirlo in Turin. 

We also preview the weekend ahead with six key matches catching our fancy including a trio of massive derbies for six teams at different stages in their season: Spurs, Arsenal, America, Chivas, Boca, and River. Also considered is Ronald Koeman's future in the context of Barca's expected departure from the Champions League and Manchester United's passive approach against Pioli's mature Milan.
