RTE viewers hail Richie Sadlier and Lisa Fallon as the 'best in the business' after Liverpool clash

RTE viewers were full of praise for pundits Lisa Fallon and Richie Sadlier as they appeared on Tuesday's Champions League coverage.

Sadlier was back on the screens after a lengthy lay off with the former football underdoing back surgery last year.

And Fallon has become a regular on the show with the coach impressing many with her punditry.

And the two tackled Liverpool's 3-1 away win to Benfica in Portugal.

Although Liverpool looked sluggish in the second half, a late Luis Diaz goal gives the side breathing space going into the second leg as a couple of crunch ties with Manchester City loom large.

Viewers on Saturday were quick to praise the hard hitting pundits with one viewer writing: "Himself & Lisa Fallon there, two of the best in the business!"

While another praised Sadlier individually: "He’s levels above the majority of pundits out there."

It was an intriguing night of Champions League action as Liverpool stepped one foot into the semi-finals with Ibrahim Konate, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz all getting on the scoresheet for Liverpool.

Manchester City also battled hard to a 1-0 win against a stubborn Atletico Madrid side with Kevin De Bruyne getting on the end of a stunning Phil Foden pass.

The two sides meet on Sunday before meeting again a week later in the FA Cup.
