It's Jimbo and co, namely James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo, ahead of the last Champions League group stage games as we know them. Man United must beat Bayern to stay in the competition, a task which may have become harder after Thomas Tuchel's side were humiliated by Eintracht Frankfurt and now have a point to prove. Group F promises an enthralling finale with a must-win game for both Newcastle and Milan, while PSG could also miss out on the last 16 in what could be a huge week for Luis Enrique. Enrique's old club Barcelona are dismantled by the new leaders of La Liga - Girona. Publicly the Catalan side say they're not in the title race, but do we believe them? Plus Aubameyang on fire, the game of the season in the Bundesliga and Parma Palermo.
