Summary
Juventus and Real Madrid win but big praise for Atalanta and Club Brugge. John Bennett is joined by Guillem Balague, Mina Rzouki and Kristof Terreur to unpick another dramatic week in the Champions League. They discuss a much-needed victory for Juventus over the increasingly beleaguered Manchester City before analysing a sensational match between Atalanta and Real Madrid. There is discussion around why Alessandro del Piero is so important for the development of Kenan Yildiz and why it did not work out for Charles De Ketelaere at AC Milan but has turned around for him at Atalanta. Is Thibaut Courtois back to his best? And how good has David De Gea been at Fiorentina this season? Plus – what’s the secret behind Club Brugge’s great form in the Champions League?
