Description

Samar Khan and Rahul Puri are back with their weekly roundup of sports. They discuss the Champions League, and share their analysis of teams playing in the Indian Premier League. Also, there is much talk about the controversy surrounding Harry Kane and performance of Indian athletes at the Commonwealth Games.

Samar expresses his views on Liverpool's victory against Manchester City in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. “Hats off to Liverpool because they went out there, defended pretty well. They kind of mentally destroyed Manchester City.”

Rahul calls Manchester City “arrogant” as Pep Guardiola kept mentioning how they need referees to protect them, referees to look after their players. “If you are going to be a really great team you have to take the smooth with the rough.”

The duo feels Barcelona is evidently an ageing team. There is over-reliance on Lionel Messi.  “He had to come in the 80th minute to score the equaliser and then the winner,” says Samar.

Moving on, they discuss how Harry Kane went on swearing on his daughter's life for one goal. They feel Harry was being desperate and question the importance of a goal and a trophy.

Talking about IPL, while Rahul mentions how impressed he is with CSK, Samar appreciates KKR’s performance. They point out key features that were witnessed in this season -- how the team that is winning the toss is choosing to bowl first and then trying to chase down the score, bowlers winning the matches, teams other than Mumbai Indians winning at home.

A look at the Commonwealth Games has Indians athletes, especially women, applauded by the duo. They discuss how “heartening” it is to see India winning in a variety of games.

All this and more on this week's Just Sports.
