Arsenal star Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly produced a double post-match interview for the ages after their side's 3-0 win over Monaco.
The Gunners secured their fourth victory in six Champions League matches to take one step closer towards qualifying for the knockout stages.
Saka scored twice and provided an assist at the Emirates Stadium - rebranded as the Arsenal Stadium temporarily due to UEFA sponsorship regulations.
The England star therefore continues his impressive season to date, having arguably been Arsenal's best player.

Kai Havertz scored the third goal to brush off recent criticism from some Arsenal fans, and takes his tally for the season up into double figures.
Lewis-Skelly, meanwhile, made his first Champions League start in the victory.
The 18-year-old was picked at left-back in the absence of several other players due to injury, and put in an assured display.
After the game had ended, he and Saka were on media duty with TNT Sports - and provided a post-match interview for the ages.
When asked about the first goal, which saw both players involved, Saka said: "I just said to Myles, this is his level. He needs to have no doubts. His confidence - we see it in training. He was a big part of the first goal."
Lewis-Skelly added: "I thought, just keep calm, take the ball away from the man. I saw Gabi [Jesus] and played him through, then Bukayo had great timing for the finish. He's always there. I can't complain!"
On his first Champions League start, he said: "I'm proud of myself. I believe in myself, and I've come a long way. I'd like to thank everyone for the opportunity, and I hope I can go from here."
Saka added: "He's very bright, he just needs to keep the same head he's got. His mentality is top, he's always asking questions. I'm so proud of him."
"Yeah [Kai got in the way of my hat-trick]! He got in the way [of the shot]. But don't worry, it [the hat-trick] is coming, it's coming."
Arsenal are back in Premier League action on Saturday when they take on Everton at the Emirates Stadium. They then play a third home game in the space of six days when they host Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup quarter-final.
