Magazine Show 18 Featured Review: Manchester City v BarcelonaTIMEPICTURE:SOUNDCOMMENTARY

10:01:06From topFirst to Manchester and the glamour tie of the Round of 16. Manchester City hosted Barcelona and in an intriguing sub-plot, Luis Surez returned to England for the first time since his move to Spain last year.

10:01:22Agero close upCity were seeking a first competition Knockout Phase victory but after 16 minutes, spurred on by the jeers of the home crowd, Surez lashed home.

10:01:36Pellegrini cuManuel Pellegrinis decision to line-up in a 4-4-2 formation was looking questionable as Bara dominated midfield. Ivan Rakiti epitomising their composure on the ball.

10:01:49Crowd shotAnd the lead was soon doubled. Surez again.

10:01:53After ball hits netThe Uruguayan is cementing his place in the hearts of the clubs supporters.

10:02:00ScoreboardStill the yellow wave of pressure continued. Dani Alves struck the bar. City fans were stunned.

10:02:07Corner kickBut their team was rejuvenated in the second period - Edin Deko missed a guilt-edged chance. Before Sergio Agero, showed him how its done.

10:02:21After ball hits net2-1 and renewed belief spread around the stadium.

10:02:25After fan shotUntil a second yellow card for Gal Clichy stopped the momentum. A man down, City now had to limit the damage.

10:02:35After Enrique cuIn stoppage time, the dazzling Lionel Messi was felled inside the penalty area.

10:02:44After fans celebAnd had the Number 10 converted his spot-kick the return leg would have seemed like a formality.

10:02:51After missed penJoe Harts penalty save kept the tie alive. But home fans knew this was another night when Manchester City had struggled on the big European occasion.

10:03:01SOT: MANUEL PELLEGRINI (SPANISH)we made a big mistake when we conceded the first goal and after that we lost our way a bit. In the second half we were calm, we pressurised them, and I think we played quite well until the sending off, AFTER THAT we JUST had to hold ONTO the result.

10:03:17SOT: LUIS ENRIQUE (SPANISH)we did very well in the first half, we always managed to find a free man, we knew how to move the ball around quickly to create space and dominate the midfield, we created several clear goal-scoring opportunities and I think the result is well deserved.

6Magazine Show 18 Feature 1: Luis SurezTIMEPICTURE:SOUNDCOMMENTARY

10:03:36Super Slows SuarezBarcelona are seeking a place in the Quarter-Finals for an eighth consecutive season.

10:03:42Holding pictureAnd their first leg advantage owes much to a man playing knockout UEFA Champions League football for the first time.

10:03:49Since signing from Liverpool in July, Luis Surez has now scored four goals in four games in Europe.

10:03:58SOT: LUIS SUREZ (SPANISH)

EVERY COMPETITION IS IMPORTANT. BUT AFTER SO MUCH TIME AWAY FROM THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, TO BE PLAYING IN IT NOW WITH THE TEAM I ALWAYS WANTED TO REPRESENT IS SOMETHING WONDERFUL AND BEAUTIFUL. AND I MUST TRY TO MAKE THE MOST OF THIS OPPORTUNITY.

10:04:13SOT: LUIS SUREZ (SPANISH)

WEARING THE NUMBER NINE SHIRT AND BEING A STRIKER, ONE MUST SCORE GOALS. BUT IM CONSCIOUS THAT THE FUNCTION OF THE ROLE I HAVE HERE IS TO HELP THE TEAM, AS WELL AS SCORE GOALS. IF THE TEAM IS DOING WELL THEN IT DOESNT MATTER IF THE GOALS COME FROM NEYMAR, MESSI, INIESTA, PEDRO OR WHOEVER ELSE. ILL FEEL COMFORTABLE SO LONG AS IM HELPING THE TEAM. I FEEL BAD WHEN IM NOT HELPING THE TEAM - IM VERY SELF CRITICAL WHEN I PLAY BADLY. BUT BEING A STRIKER, YOU WILL ALWAYS GET THE CHANCE TO SCORE GOALS.

10:04:51After SOTInitially, Surez wasnt able to score goals for Bara: he signed while serving a four month World football ban. But his determination to succeed at the club was shaped from his early experiences in his native Uruguay.

10:05:08SOT: LUIS SUREZ (SPANISH)

I ALWAYS WANTED TO WIN. EVEN AT THE AGE OF FIVE OR SIX I WANTED TO COMPETE WITH MY FRIENDS AND WIN. I NEVER LIKED TO LOSE. I'VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH FOOTBALL SINCE I WAS VERY YOUNG. I REMEMBER PLAYING WITHOUT SHOES, PLAYING BAREFOOT IN THE STREETS, AND MAKING FOOTBALLS OUT OF PAPER, DOING THINGS LIKE THAT! THOSE ARE THINGS THAT YOU LEARN AT A YOUNG AGE, AND THOSE EXPERIENCES HELP ME TRY TO DO SOMETHING TO RISE TO EVERY OCCASION. THEY ARE THINGS THAT YOU GATHER AND TAKE WITH YOU, AND I REALISE I PICKED THEM UP WHEN I WAS YOUNG.

10:05:46After SOTSurez first moved to Europe as a teenager, signing for Groningen then Ajax in the Dutch Eredvisie. Playing in the Netherlands took him closer to his girlfriend, whod relocated to Barcelona. Today they are husband and wife.

10:06:03SOT: LUIS SUREZ (SPANISH)

WHEN I ARRIVED HERE I FULFILLED MY DREAM. THIS IS THE CLUB I ALWAYS WANTED TO JOIN. IN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS YOU HAVE TO GET TO KNOW YOUR NEW TEAMMATES AND THE CITY ITSELF, ALTHOUGH I DID ALREADY KNOW IT FROM BEFORE BECAUSE ID COME REGULARLY WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN. MY WIFES FAMILY ARE HERE AND THEYVE HELPED US A LOT. REGARDING THE CITY EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE IT IS, THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO YOU CANT GET BORED! AND THATS A REAL PLUS.

10:06:40After SOTContent off the field, and beginning to flourish on it. Playing alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar in one of World footballs most devastating forward lines, the 28 year-old brings steel and penetration to Baras mesmeric artistry.

10:06:59HugsAfter four years away from the UEFA Champions League, Luis Surez is back.

10:07:05SOT: LUIS SUREZ (SPANISH) BARCELONA IS ALWAYS A CANDIDATE TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, LA LIGA, AND THE SPANISH CUP. THIS CLUB IS OBLIGED TO ALWAYS CHALLENGE FOR THE TITLE IN EVERY COMPETITION. THATS A PLUS HERE, AS THE CLUBS I'VE PLAYED FOR PREVIOUSLY IN EUROPE DIDNT REALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO WIN SUCH IMPORTANT TITLES. SO, TO HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WOULD BE SOMETHING INCREDIBLE.

Magazine Show 18 Feature 2: Fernando Torres (Including Bayer Leverkusen v Atltico Madrid)TIMEPICTURE:SOUNDCOMMENTARY

10:07:32From topOf all the players signed this season, one transfer stood out for emotion, affection, and affinity. Fernando Torres turned professional at Atltico Madrid aged 15, and was club captain by 19. After nearly eight years away hes returned home.

10:07:49SOT: FERNANDO TORRES (SPANISH)

I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF THIS CLUB SINCE I STARTED PLAYING FOOTBALL. I WAS LUCKY TO COME AND TRAIN HERE AT THE AGE OF 10. IT WAS THE YEAR WE WON THE DOUBLE - BOTH THE LEAGUE AND THE CUP - SO I EXPERIENCED SOME GREAT MOMENTS. THEN AFTER THAT WE WENT THROUGH SOME MEDIOCRE TIMES, INCLUDING RELEGATION TO THE SECOND DIVISION. BUT WHAT ATLTICO FANS FEEL FOR THE CLUB IS NOT NECESSARLY BOUND TO THE TEAMS RESULTS: IF THE RESULTS ARE GOOD THEY ENJOY IT, BUT EVEN IF THE RESULTS ARE BAD THEY STAY WITH THE TEAM HOPING THAT GOOD RESULTS WILL RETURN. WHEN YOU HAVE GROWN UP AT A CLUB, AND DEVELOPED AS A PLAYER AND A PERSON, WHEN THEYVE SHOWN AND TAUGHT YOU THE VALUES OF THE CLUB, THEN THAT IS WHAT YOU FOLLOW AND DEFEND DAY IN DAY OUT, IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE TOO. ITS ABOUT EFFORT, SACRIFICE, FIGHTING AND BELIEVING. ALL OF THIS HAS HELPED ME IN EVERY FACET OF MY LIFE.

10:08:51ActionIn Leverkusen on Wednesday Torres began on the bench as Die Werkself took the game to the Spaniards: Emir Spahi came close with a thunderous strike.

10:09:01After chanceAtlti struggled for fluency but on the stroke of half-time nearly snatched a lead. Bernd Leno with the spectacular stop to deny Tiago.

10:09:13After coach c/aAfter the break Leverkusen went ahead, Hakan alhanolu with an unstoppable strike from an improbable angle.

10:09:25On sidelinesEnter Torres for his competition debut as a Colchonero, and he was immediately involved. First a miss, then a disallowed goal. It was not to be his night.

10:09:38After tackleLate on Tiago picked up a second yellow card; the game ended one nil. Joy for Leverkusen; a big challenge ahead for Torres and Atltico, who must win the return leg to stand any chance of progress.

10:09:53SOT: FERNANDO TORRES (SPANISH)THIS CLUB HAS TO COMPETE AGAINST THE BIG CLUBS, BECAUSE ITS A BIG CLUB ITSELF. AND A COACH LIKE EL CHOLO HAS ARRIVED, SOMEBODY WHO HAS EXPERIENCED HOW TO BECOME A CHAMPION, HE KNOWS HOW TO WIN BECAUSE HE DID IT ON THE PITCH, AND NOW HES BRINGING SUCCESS AS A COACH. HE HAS BUILT HIS SQUAD AND HIS COACHING STAFF AND CONVINCED EVERYBODY THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO WIN.

10:10:16LiverpoolIt was in 2007 that Torres left Atltico, signing for Liverpool to gain UEFA Champions League experience.

10:10:23SOT: FERNANDO TORRES (SPANISH)I HAD WATCHED THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE A LOT ON TV, AND SEEN IT AS A FAN AT THE VICENTE CALDERN WHEN ATLTICO WERE IN IT. SO THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD BEEN ABLE TO PLAY IN IT, ENJOY IT AND FEEL WHAT THIS COMPETITION IS ABOUT FROM THE INSIDE. IT HAS A DIFFERENT ATMOSPHERE.

10:10:40Move to faceAfter signing for Chelsea the Spaniard would lay his hands on Europes biggest club prize. The 2011-12 season was a turbulent one at Stamford Bridge with the Blues finishing sixth in their domestic league, after Andr Villas-Boas was sacked. But in Europe the stars alligned.

10:11:00After music changeHaving eliminated the European champions Barcelona in the Semi-Final, Chelsea faced Bayern at their home stadium in the final. They trailed with only two minutes left.

10:11:12SOT: FERNANDO TORRES (SPANISH)WHEN DIDIER SCORED THE EQUALISER THEN IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE MATCH WOULDNT SLIP OUT OF OUR HANDS. YOU THINK: ITS OUR DAY. WHEN YOU MANAGE TO TURN A MATCH AROUND IN SUCH AN UNEXPECTED WAY, THEN YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE ADVANTAGE. AND WHEN YOU LIFT THE TROPHY, YOU REALISE THAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THE DREAM OF THE CLUBS OWNERS, FANS AND THE PLAYERS WHO LOST A PREVIOUS FINAL AGAINST MANCHESTER UNITED ON PENALTIES. YOU HAVE THE SENSATION THAT EVERYTHING HAS BEEN WORTHWHILE.

10:11:40After SOTA UEFA Champions League winner with Chelsea; and World and two-time European champion with Spain its been a glittering career for Fernando Torres. But back home the boy from Madrid, hopes the very best is yet to come.

10:11:53SOT: FERNANDO TORRES (SPANISH)HOPEFULLY I CAN EXPERIENCE A CELEBRATION AT NEPTUNE FOUNTAIN LIKE I LIVED AT 11 YEARS OF AGE WHEN WE WON THE DOUBLE; JUST AS IVE ENJOYED FROM HOME SEEING MY NEW TEAM-MATES WINNING VARIOUS TITLES IN THESE RECENT SEASONS. I WOULD LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THIS IN THE ONE WAY THAT HAS ELUDED ME: AS ONE OF THE ATLTICO PLAYERS. AND HOPEFULLY IT CAN HAPPEN THIS YEAR, BUT IF NOT, NEXT YEAR;I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY A TITLE.

Magazine Show 18 Match Review: Arsenal v MonacoTIMEPICTURE:SOUNDCOMMENTARY

10:14:05From topOn Wednesday in London, Arsenal played AS Monaco for the first time in a competitive fixture. It was also a reunion for coach Arsne Wenger, who guided the side from the principality to the Ligue 1 title in 1988.

10:14:19Ball played upfrontIt was the hosts who made the brighter start; creating a number of early chances; the best falling to Danny Welbeck.

10:14:28Cam 1They were made to rue their profligacy in the 38th minute when Geoffrey Kondogbias deflected shot beat David Ospina.

10:14:40After celebsArsenal continued to be wasteful in front of goal, but Monaco were clinical. Dimitar Berbatov made it 2-0 eight minutes into the second half. The Bulgarians first goal in the Knockout Phase for 13 years.

10:14:53Crossing ballLeanardo Jardims side had conceded only one goal in the Group Stage, but Arsenal did breach their defence in the 91st minute through Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

10:15:05After coach c/aBut deep into injury time, the visitors broke again, Yannick Ferreira Carrasco with a superb third. Monaco, who scored only four goals in the Group Stage have taken a big step towards qualification for the Quarter-Finals.

Magazine Show 18 Feature 3: Gianluigi Buffon (Including Juventus v Dortmund)TIMEPICTURE:SOUNDCOMMENTARY

10:15:29

SOT: GIANLUIGI BUFFON (ITALIAN)

IF AT 17 YOU MAKE YOUR SERIE A DEBUT, AT 18 YOURE PLAYING FOR A TEAM COMPETING TO WIN THE LEAGUE AND YOU WIN THE UEFA CUP, AT 19 YOU MAKE YOUR DEBUT FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM AND AT 20 YOU BECOME THE ITALIAN NUMBER ONEWELL, I DIDNT GET CARRIED AWAY - I WAS HAPPY AND LEVEL-HEADED BUT I KNEW THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING THAT NOT MANY BEFORE ME HAD ACHIEVED.

10:15:54After SOTFor twenty years, Gianluigi Buffon has been one of the games great goalkeepers. Now 37, Italys most-capped player is synonymous with Juventus, where he has excelled for 14 seasons. But it was in 1997 with Parma where he won the UEFA Cup that Buffon made his first mark in Europes premier club competition.

10:16:17SOT: GIANLUIGI BUFFON (ITALIAN)WELL IT WAS CERTAINLY A DREAM WITH PARMA, BECAUSE BACK THEN ONLY THE FIRST TWO TEAMS FROM EACH COUNTRY QUALIFIED FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE WE PLAYED IN INCREDIBLE STADIUMS, AND IT WAS ALL SO NEW TO ME. I REMEMBER PLAYING IN DORTMUND AND SAVING TWO PENALTIES. THAT EXPERIENCE WAS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT FOR MY DEVELOPMENT.

10:16:48After SOTOutstanding performances attracted the Bianconeris attention - and in 2001 Buffon headed west to Turin for what remains a world record fee for a goalkeeper.

10:17:00SOT: GIANLUIGI BUFFON (ITALIAN)

I ARRIVED AT JUVENTUS AS A YOUNG MAN, AND PARMA HAD BEEN MY WORLD UP UNTIL THEN; I HAD STARTED THERE AT THE AGE OF 13, HAD GONE TO SCHOOL THERE, HAD ALL MY FRIENDS THERE, AND I WOULD PLAY AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS AND COMPETE FOR THE TOP TITLES WITH PARMA. SO I KNEW THAT WHEN JUVENTUS MADE ME THAT OFFER THE ONLY FEELING I HAD WAS GREAT PRIDE, BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS A SPECIAL GOALKEEPER, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WAS OBVIOUS.

10:17:37SOT: GIANLUIGI BUFFON (ITALIAN)BACK THEN I HAD NATURAL POWER AND WAS A GOALKEEPER WHO RISKED A LOT. I WAS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC WHEN I WENT ON THE PITCH, WHICH I THINK WAS ALSO VERY INFECTIOUS FOR THE OTHERS. THEN AS YOU GROW AND DEVELOP YOU GET MORE RESPONSIBILITIES, SO MY WHOLE ATTITUDE, AND A CERTAIN KIND OF ARROGANCE ON THE PITCH HAS GROWN WITH TIME.

10:18:08C/U shirtBuffon has remained a loyal servant to Juventus ever since despite a season in Serie B. Hes won multiple domestic league and cups but never the UEFA Champions League crown. The 2003 final defeat to AC Milan is the closest he has come.

10:18:25SOT: GIANLUIGI BUFFON (ITALIAN)

WELL, IT WAS QUITE A BITTER FEELING, BECAUSE I KNEW WE HAD MISSED A UNIQUE CHANCE. BUT ON THE OTHER HAND I WAS ALSO HAPPY, BECAUSE I WAS STILL YOUNG AND I FELT THAT I WAS PLAYING FOR A BIG CLUB WHICH HAD MANAGED TO REACH OTHER FINALS A FEW YEARS BEFORE, SO I FELT THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER CHANCE TO WIN IT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT HASNT HAPPENED SO FAR.

10:18:58SOT: GIANLUIGI BUFFON (ITALIAN)

SPEAKING AS CAPTAIN BUT ALSO AS A PLAYER I THINK WE ARE A GREAT TEAM. BUT I ALSO THINK THAT IN FOOTBALL, AS WELL AS IN LIFE, YOU SHOULDNT SAY ALWAYS OR NEVER; BECAUSE THERE ARE OFTEN SURPRISES WAITING AROUND THE CORNER. I AM ALSO A GREAT OPTIMIST, SO IT WOULDNT SURPRISE ME IF IN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS, BEFORE I END MY PLAYING CAREER; WE MANAGE TO ACHIEVE THAT OBJECTIVE.

10:19:36SOT: UPSOT (ITALIAN)FORZA JUVE!

10:19:37After SOT

Buffon and Juventus have only reached the competitions Quarter-Finals once since 2006. Standing in their way this season is Borussia Dortmund, who arrived for the first leg in Turin after three straight Bundesliga victories.

10:19:51Flags, after musicIt was the hosts who made the better start. After only 13 minutes, Carlos Tvez prodded home delighting the Bianconeri faithful.

10:20:02After whip and soundThey would soon be silenced. Marco Reus made the most of Giorgio Chiellinis slip - and the German international gave Buffon no chance.

10:20:14After scoreboardThe setback didnt faze the Serie A leaders. They continued to press and two minutes before the break; Paul Pogba found lvaro Morata, and the impressive Spaniard made no mistake.

10:20:27After fist pumpThis was the clubs first meeting since the 97 final. Dortmund won that day, but rarely troubled Buffon in this game. His team might have extended their lead - Tvez twice went close, before Roberto Pereyra shot narrowly wide.

10:20:45CelebsTwo-one it finished- making Juventus narrow favourites to progress. Perhaps 2015 will be the season that Gianluigi Buffon finally wins this competition.

Magazine Show 18 Feature 4: Mario GtzeTIMEPICTURE:SOUNDCOMMENTARY

10:21:02SOT: MATTHIAS SAMMER (GERMAN)ITS HIS FINESSE, HIS CREATIVITY, HIS FEARLESSNESS; AND FOR HIS OPPONENTS HES EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE.

10:21:11SOT: MANUEL NEUER (GERMAN)MARIO GTZE HAS ADAPTED REALLY WELL TO BAYERN. HES PERFORMING WELL AND HE'S GOT THE ABILTY TO MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN ON THE PITCH, AND THATS WHY SIGNING HIM WAS SUCH A GREAT DEAL FOR US.

10:21:28 After SOTTwenty two-year-old Mario Gtzes ascent to football superstardom continues to gather pace.

10:21:36After faceA pivotal figure in former club Borussia Dortmunds journey to the UEFA Champions League final in 2013, the young Bavarian has had to mature quickly since that high-profile move to Munich two years ago.

10:21:50SOT: MARIO GTZE (GERMAN)I THINK I HAVE DEVELOPED AS A PERSON AND A PLAYER. I MOVED FROM DORTMUND TO BAYERN WHEN I WAS TWENTY-ONE, IT WASNT ALL THAT EASY, A LOT WAS WRITTEN AND SAID. I HAD TO SORT THAT OUT FOR MYSELF, AND DEAL WITH IT. AND I HAVE DEVELOPED HERE, IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO IMPROVE YEAR ON YEAR AND I THINK I HAVE ACHIEVED THIS.

10:22:16After SOTWith six goals in seventeen UEFA Champions League appearances for Bayern, Gtze is already a crucial player for the German Champions. His versatility has seen him deployed in a number of different roles in Pep Guardiolas fluid system.

10:22:30SOT: MARIO GTZE (GERMAN)HE DECIDES ON THE STYLE OF PLAY, AND I AGREE WITH HIS VISION. WE PLAY POSSESSION FOOTBALL, AND WE TRY TO ATTACK AND OCCUPY SPACE. AS AN ATTACKING PLAYER, I THINK ITS VERY ATTRACTIVE. ITS REALLY IMPORTANT TO IMPLEMENT THESE IDEAS, AND I THINK IT REFLECTS IN OUR RESULTS AND ALSO IN OUR STYLE OF PLAY.

10:22:52After SOTGtzes breakthrough moment on the global stage came in Brazil at last years World Cup, scoring the winning goal in the final against Argentina.

10:23:01SOT: MARIO GTZE (GERMAN)AT THE EXACT MOMENT YOU DONT REALLY THINK ITS ANYTHING EXTRAORDINARY, YOU JUST THINK ITS A FOOTBALL MATCH, ALBEIT A SPECIAL ONE! BUT AS TIME GOES BY AND YOU THINK ABOUT IT FOR A FEW WEEKS, YOU START TO REALISE ITS ENORMITY. THEN YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING IT HAD. BUT AT THAT PRECISE MOMENT IT WAS JUST IMPORTANT FOR THE TEAM TO WIN AND FOR ME TO FULFIL A DREAM.

10:23:25After SOTHis match-winning heroics at the Maracan are even more astounding when you take into consideration that just five years earlier he was taking his first steps on the International stage, in Germanys 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Championship triumph.

10:23:41SOT: MARIO GTZE (GERMAN)IT WAS BASICALLY MY FIRST TOURNAMENT, AND IT WAS GREAT AT 16 YEARS OLD TO BE PLAYING IN FULL STADIUMS. THAT WAS SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL. BEING SO YOUNG, MAYBE YOU TAKE IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY COMPARED TO NOW, BUT THOSE EXPERIENCES WERE CERTAINLY VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME.

10:24:03After SOTDespite a disappointing goalless draw in the Round of 16 first leg in Lyviv, the Bavarians are still favorites to progress past Shakhtar Donetsk. However, last seasons humbling defeat by Real Madrid in the Semi-Finals will serve as a reminder that anything can happen in the Knockout Phase.

10:24:21SOT: MARIO GTZE (GERMAN)WE WANT TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS POSSIBLE, THATS OUR OBJECTIVE. AND WE HAVE TO BE THERE WHEN IT MATTERS. WE NEED TO BE PREPARED THATS ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR TITLES. SMALL DETAILS ARE DECISIVE, AND THAT IS WHAT WE PREPARE FOR.

10:24:39 After SOTAlthough he may have a medal collection that most veterans of the game would crave, there is one accolade that the young German is still chasing. The UEFA Champions League.

10:24:52SOT: MARIO GTZE (GERMAN)AFTER WINNING THE BUNDESLIGA, THE GERMAN CUP, AND THEN THE WORLD CUP IN THE SUMMER, I WANT TO ADD TO THAT LIST OF TITLES AND IT WOULD BE GREAT TO WIN THIS TROPHY. ITS MY MAIN OBJECTIVE, AND IM DETERMINED TO ACHIEVE IT.
