Episode description
Liverpool qualify for the Champions League's last 16 but Aston Villa have work to do.
Kelly Cates is joined by senior football reporter Ian Dennis, former Liverpool left-back Stephen Warnock and former Tottenham forward Andros Townsend to reflect on Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Lille and Mo Salah scoring his 50th European goal for the club.
Aston Villa remain in the top eight, on goal difference, despite their 1-0 defeat at Monaco and Barcelona have booked their place in the knockout stages after a 5-4 victory at Benfica.
