Kenny Cunningham and Shay Given once again proved themselves as hugely entertaining football pundits, after last night's Champions League semi-final between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.
Following Tuesday's 5-4 thriller between PSG and Bayern Munich, Cunningham had caused a stir by playing down the quality of the game.
And, after last night's game, which finished 1-1, he and former Ireland keeper Shay Given argued over Viktor Gyokeres' opening penalty (which you can watch below) and whether Jan Oblak should have saved it.
Cunningham felt that the Atletico keeper should have done bette, considering the strike was well within his heighth of reach.
However, Given felt that his former Ireland teammate was being unfair to the Slovenian and not taking into account the power of Gyokeres' strike.
The pair then had a humorous exchange, with Given revealing he had to calm himself down after Cunningham's "nonsense."
You can view the full exchange below.
After the game, Oblak said: "It was an intense game from both sides. Both sides were looking for a win but I think we had a good game but at 1-1, there's a lot to decide in London next week.
"There's always relief when a penalty is overturned, I hope I would have stopped it anyway. It was the referee's decision to change it and we agree with him.
"I was close to stopping the first penalty but it was just the power. He hit it with maximum power but it's in the past. We need to focus firstly on the weekend and then to London.
"We will not think about the previous game where we lost 4-0 there. I believe it will be a different game and we will do everything to get a good result and get to the final.
"We don't think about lifting the trophy, first we need to work on the pitch in the second leg. Arsenal want to win the Champions League as well so we need to pass them first."
