The Australian listeners to the pod of which they are pen to football know that I have basically I've crowbarred as many pod people as to sort of reflected glory it makes the viewers think that I know about football all I'm doing is getting Nikki or Lars Philippe and Mark you won't be far away from having your head put on a massive screen to tell us all about European football.

I thought you were brilliant Nikki is what I'd like to say and if you are Australia, stop it if you're on Australia sorry for this self indulgence to get into the podcast.

James says is the Champions League group stage going to become an exciting spectacle this season just before you a for ruin it Barney Ronnie saying part of the PR puff behind the European super league a weasel the owners of these teams were so keen to embrace was the sense these awesome games are a trudge a schlep cold product well nobody seems to have told the players let's start an field.

It was a brilliant game and it was a great comeback from Liverpool but the moment for me was AC Milan's going their second goal and a half time Nikki that Milan fan in tears.

I think we certainly some match the dissidentive and to be an entertaining match it needed that moment because the beginning of the match we almost though wasn't going to be a match didn't we we thought it was going to be a total roll over because the way that Liverpool started they came out of the box and Milan looked completely shell shocked by it it was so fascinating for me because you know at the weekend I've watched the same Milan team.

You know quite is infractically but do a similar job to what Liverpool are doing to them against last year so against last year I thought it's going to be a big game last year of me a good start and a match this atty and Milan just assaulted them with his high press never let them get any breathing room and and eventually beat them to know and they go to an field and the complete reverse happens they are immediately on the back for their immediate being squashed back and completely lose their composure and it looks.

It looks for a minute like this could be a total route certainly you think if like mania doesn't save the penalty and the rebound they could have put Liverpool to up this could have got really ugly but the way that Milan eventually gathered themselves and and look go play for player through those teams and Milan they've made huge progress in the last couple of years but they're not a roster a squad that you could like and say that's player for player is going to what Liverpool have.

But they have some qualities and they found those qualities in the latter part of that second half and they showed them with the direct running of Raphael that sort of directness that willingness to really play vertical football when they want to possession and to do it really effectively with those young players I think was was thrilling that response energize the game the fan you're talking about max we all saw on TV having a moment.

I think it's just remember that Milan are the Italian club who think of themselves as the European club these fans certainly he looked old enough to be of the generation remembers the 90's the 80's when Milan were in European finals all the time when

when Bethel is gone he was in charge and frankly was branding them as bigger than Italy where the club that goes on when it's not just a year ago when the club World Cup and I think that identity has been taken away from Milan for almost a decade seven years outside the Champions League.

So to come back to Champions League and start home and to against the odds at that moment to have given that performance and come back and lead it half time felt felt really monumental to a lot of people who felt it was club in the end is started matter because Liverpool were the best team and serve to win.

Yeah, I'm just sort of following on there from what Nicky was saying about the salad goal just want to praise Divock a reggae sort of play within it because he's somebody a very strange player really because there are occasions when he really looks like he should not be part of that livable team there are sort of bits of build up play that he just he's not of that level that you sort of expect whether it's

a shot or Firmino in that position and yet he does come up with some really big moments for Liverpool and has done you know throughout his time even sort of going back to that that the Derby goal he got against Everton there was the performance against Barcelona the Champions League final goal and for my sort of main concern for Liverpool this season and for I'm sure for most people is whether they've got the depth of squad to be able to fight on all front and yet

club was able to rotate a fair few players for that game on Wednesday and Liverpool still put in and for all the me land play well Liverpool put in an excellent performance themselves deserve to win the game and I think probably started the best of all of kind of that

really big four if you like so far this season 13 shots in 15 minutes at the start I mean that's actually ridiculous I mean there's a mad pinball just constantly shooting and it like it was like as Nicky said
