Summary
Jimbo, James Horncastle, Jack Lang and Tom Williams regale us with tales of a Champions League midweek and Premier League weekend to come.
Bayern are beaten again in Rome by Lazio. Can they sort themselves out by the time the return leg comes around in 3 weeks time?
There are victories for PSG and Real Madrid as well as we give Carlo Ancelotti some praise for his man-management skills.
Man City dispose of Copenhagen - next up an unpredictable Chelsea side featuring Cole Palmer, who drew 4-4 with City in November!
Elsewhere there’s some love for Roberto De Zerbi whose Brighton side aren’t exactly setting the Premier League alight right now.
Plus Do You Speak Football, the Beach Soccer World Cup and that Philogene goal/own goal.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
