UCL: Man City and PSG Survive Matchday 8 Madness | Champions League Reaction & Takeaways (Soccer 1/30)

Morning Footy: A soccer show from CBS Sports Golazo Network

The Champions League league phase wrapped up in dramatic fashion, and the Morning Footy crew is here to decompress from the madness! Manchester City, PSG, and Sporting CP survived the chaos to keep their European dreams alive—but with the new 36-team format, what does it all mean for the road ahead? The gang dives into the final standings, breaks down potential Knockout Play-Off matchups, and highlights the biggest threats lurking before the Round of 16. Nico Cantor joins from London to give us a behind-the-scenes look at an historic Golazo Show—how do he digest 18 games at once?! Is the new UCL format an improvement or an overload? And just how much did Micah Richards suffer watching Man City claw their way back against Club Brugge?
