Vini wonder goal overshadowed on toxic night in Lisbon

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo is joined by Charlie Eccleshare, Colin Millar, Tom Wiliams and Seb Stafford-Bloor to discuss an eventful evening in the Champions League play-offs.

In Lisbon, Vini Jr scored a wonder goal and shortly afterwards left the pitch, alleging that Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni racially abused him. We discuss the controversial response from Benfica and Jose Mourinho.

On the French Riviera, PSG mounted an impressive comeback to win 3-2 at Monaco having gone 2-0 down inside the opening 18 minutes via a Folarin Balogun brace.

And it was a bad night for Italian football with Dortmund beating Atalanta 2-0 in the Signal Iduna + Galatasaray thrashing Juve 5-2 in the early kick off in Istanbul.

Plus the FA Cup draw, Coventry on top and Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill becomes Blackburn boss.
