Welcome to the Total Soccer Show and our Champions League Game Week to review.

It seems like only a week ago we were talking about Game Week 1.

Time flies quicker than Erling Harlan flies at the back post.

It was a vantage bind in the Lewandowski Derby.

Liverpool left it late for their first European winner the campaign.

Spurs embraced their Spursy roots.

Round Madrid, they're still perfect.

Graham Potter gave us a sterling performance, of sorts.

And the pressure is piling on Max Allegory at Juventus.

My name's Ryan Bailey.

Joining me to discuss all the Champions League action is a man whose seat isn't quite as hot as Max Lickreys right now.

Is it Taylor Rockwell?

I would hope not because he is basically sitting on top of a stove, it feels like,

as I'm assuming, UVA executives go off around Europe and have meetings in secret in hotel lobbies

that Max Allegory is not told about but is aware are happening. It doesn't seem like it would be the most fun for him, but it is a lot of fun to be here with you, Ryan Bailey. Oh, likewise, Tate. I'm picturing Maricio Poitino with the tape measure measuring the curtains in Max Ligree's office. What are you doing in here? Nothing. Nothing? Nothing? Just, you know, I really like this area in the future. I'll like it a lot in the future, is all I'm saying. Indeed. Also here, Taylor, a man who cheated on soccer with tennis last night, but we love him anyway. Great, husband. Hello.

Hello, Ryan Bailey. Yes, I was watching the tennis in Glasgow until past midnight, and that wasn't even when it finished. The match finished

at 1am, which is quite a late finish, and so I missed a lot of the Champions League matches,

but I am all caught up and ready to talk all things at Star Bowl. I'm going to call it that,

Star Bowl. Okay. Tennis After Dark sounds fun. I, having followed the tour for many years as well, I'm always slightly baffled when games finished like 2 or 3am. How, what kind of gob would allow this, Graham? It's ridiculous. I don't know why they started playing at 4pm in the afternoon and then we're stunned that they didn't get through three matches before it was the next day. Yeah. And also we should mention, well, should we mention this isn't a tennis podcast? But I'm going to mention it anyway. Roger Feather retiring today, which feels like a bit of an end of an era. And tune in for Ryan and I spin-off tennis podcast launching some point in the future. We should mention it. What day are you all planning on launching that?

Because I'll be busy that day and every ensuing day.

Oh, you don't have any thoughts? No, too. On tennis? That's the one where you use the racket, right? Yes, that is correct. Andre Agassi. That's what I have to say. Why don't you quit making your racket right now, Tatee? We've got one more man to introduce. you just heard him.

He's a man who loves to see Christian Pulisic get Continental Minutes,
