Champions League talking points: End of the road for Liverpool? Wake-up call for Premier League?

The first legs of this season's Champions League round of 16 were a chastening set of results for the Premier League clubs as a whole and Liverpool in particular. Jurgen Klopp's side were humbled at home by Real Madrid while none of Chelsea, Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur are ahead at the halfway stage of their ties.

Paris Saint-Germain also have to come from behind if they are to progress at the expense of Bayern Munich, but a brief appearance from a half-fit Kylian Mbappe is enough to give them hope.
