FT: Aston Villa 4-2 Celtic
Julien Laurens
European football expert on MOTD: Champions League highlights
I think Arsenal looked at other potential signings like Benjamin Sesko at Leipzig.
I guess maybe towards the end you see clubs who are are more open too, as we saw with the bid for Jhon Duran.
Aston Villa will have a replacement list already of strikers they can go and get.
Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: Champions League Highlights
Money talks.
If Arsenal up their bid, you might see some wheeling and dealing.
I don’t think you would want to lose Watkins.
He is the focal point of attack. But are you going to get that money again as 29-year-old?
That’s a business decision then and that’s when it becomes difficult.
PSR has changed everything. It's a bigger decision now.
FT: PSV 3-2 Liverpool
Liverpool midfielder James McConnell, speaking to TNT Sports: "Disappointed we didn't win the game but we topped the group thanks to the performance in the rest of the season.
"I'm proud to make my Champions League debut. I'm grateful for the opportunity. I loved playing in this atmosphere.
"The team was a bit makeshift at times with lads slotting in all over the place but we feel we should have won the game."
FT: PSV 3-2 Liverpool
Stephen Warnock
Former Aston Villa defender on MOTD: Champions League Highlights
Job done. Perfect for them. To be able to rest players tonight was important.
He [Arne Slot] has taken this competition very seriously.
I looked at the team last week against Lille and thought - why have you gone so strong?
But it was so they were ready to rest in this game.
FT: PSV 3-2 Liverpool
Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, speaking to TNT Sports about playing back at former club PSV: "It was a special moment, a proud moment for myself and I'm grateful that even though it's two years ago [that I left], I still have a lot of fans here.
"I am grateful for what the supporters did, I will never forget that, but unfortunately we didn't get the result."
On young players getting a chance: "It's good to learn from these moments. Difficult moments are the ones you learn the most from. I saw the young players do very good and fight hard. I'm proud of them."
FT: Man City 3-1 Club Brugge

There was a lot of pressure on the game and there was a lot of talk.
If Man City go out where does that leave them?
If this game had been two weeks ago it could have been a different situation, but they hung in there and got the win.
FT: Man City 3-1 Club Brugge
Julien Laurens

Club Brugge knew it was going to be difficult today to get anything out of the game. They will play Atalanta or Dortmund which is not going to be easy.
They are a very solid team.

First half John Stones and Manuel Akanji were given the freedom.
They have a fluid system at Man City, but Stones was being encouraged to step in and be involved, but it left them vulnerable on the counter.
Man City 3-1 Club Brugge
Simon Stone
BBC Sport's chief football news reporter at the Etihad Stadium
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was exceptionally confident about his side's chances of getting through yesterday.
I asked him in his press conference after today's win if he was still as confident at half-time, with his side 1-0 down and heading out of the competition.
"When I saw the fire before the game, I thought at half-time journalists had their headline already," he laughed.
City's Champions League hopes gone up in smoke, or something like that.

Champions League highlights: Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 Sparta Prague
Bayer Leverkusen secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a routine victory over Sparta Prague at the BayArena.
Germany midfielder Florian Wirtz opened the scoring for Xabi Alonso's side just after the half-hour mark, driving a low effort into the bottom left corner after being picked out by Jeremie Frimpong.
Former Southampton winger Nathan Tella added the second from close range for the hosts, after Alex Grimaldo's free-kick was only parried out by visiting goalkeeper Peter Vindahl.
The result leaves the German champions on 16 points and sixth overall in the 36-team league phase.
Leverkusen could now face Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Celtic or Manchester City in the knockout phase of the Europe's elite club competition.
