The Athletic.

Well, after English football pause for a moment to quiet reflection this weekend,

the Champions League returns tonight.

You know, sporting have had to sell their best players in the last year to Fullerman

I'm Mark Chapman.

Michael has also been watching Paris Saint-German under their new manager, Christoph Galtier,

so we'll see what's changed there, if anything.
