Summary
Well, it’s definitely back! Champions League opening night kicked out with six games, 23 goals, some great kits and loads of chaos.
Here's a clip of today's episode, where Musa and Ryan begin with Qarabag’s incredible come from behind win in Lisbon against Benfica (02:33), which cost Bruno Lage his job. They also chat about Union Saint-Gilloise’s 3-1 win in Eindhoven, chaos in Turin between Juventus and Dortmund, Real Madrid’s second red card and 2-1 win in a row, Arsenal’s closers in Bilbao and Spurs’ 1-0 win over Villarreal.
Don't forget to get tickets for our London live shows at the Southbank Centre, which are on general sale here.
