Do We Even Need To Watch The Second Legs Of The UCL Quarterfinals?
Jurgen Klopp Is Pep Guardiola's Kryptonite
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is Pep Guardiola's kryptonite.
The charismatic German has beaten Guardiola more than any other manager — a total of seven victories for Klopp dating back to meetings between the two in the Bundesliga.
This is a remarkable achievement, especially if one considers how dominating Guardiola's teams (be it Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Manchester City) normally are.
Liverpool Trashed Manchester City
I am still scared of the second leg.
Liverpool ran rampant over Manchester City Wednesday at Anfield, bringing a 3-0 advantage into the second leg next week at the Etihad. No player could be said to have had a bad game. The team worked as a cohesive unit, like a Swiss watch. Manchester City did not even have a shot on target and looked nigh-helpless against the Reds.
But I am worried about the second leg.

Mohamed Salah Is A Better Cell Phone Spokesperson Than The "Can You Hear Me Now?" Guy
Every Egyptian who uses Vodafone as his or her carrier is now by default a Liverpool fan. Them's the rules.
Vodafone has announced a deal in which Egyptian Vodafone customers get 11 free minutes of cell phone talking per goal scored by Salah. Eleven minutes is the perfect amount of free talking to receive because it's Mo Salah's number and also the amount of time you can talk to your mother before she asks if there's a new special someone in your life. Sorry mom, gotta run! I'm all out of free Salah minutes!

Three footballers scored pokers (four goals in one match) this weekend in Europe's major leagues: Mohamed Salah for Liverpool, Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid and Mauro Icardi for Inter Milan.

Who scored four goals in one match with the most flair, the most panache? Who won the poker hand, as it were? Ante up, let's figure it out.
