13 things we loved this wkend: Muller, Carragher, Mbappe, Matic & more
The Champions League knockout stages lived up to the hype this weekend as Bayern Munich thrashed Barcelona and Lyon stunned Manchester City to reach the semi-final stage.
Elsewhere, Jamie Carragher got carried away and Erling Haaland embraced his inner Bob Marley, although he should probably stick to being a striker.
We’ve rounded up the best of the action on and off the pitch.

PSG may be rivals with Lyon in Ligue 1, but Mbappe was pretty smug about seeing his fellow French outfit progress.

Ronnie O’Sullivan
The biggest rock star on the planet.
Ref Paul Collier. Favourite story he told me about Ronnie. He came in the day after skipping press conferences and Paul told him it was a £250 fine the next morning. Ronnie handed him £500 cash and Paul said 'There's 500 here Ron' – Ronnie said 'I'm not coming tonight either'.
