Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly and it turns out against all the odds that

Lionel Messi, the most expensive draft excluder on earth, can do it on a benign night in Paris.

A delicious finish vanquishes Manchester City as Goliath.

Beat Goliath, let's ask again, should Pep have signed a centre forward?

Oh my Sharif, the sheriffs of shocking him, my apologies, the Moldovan renegades,

we're in the Bernabou, it's straightforward for Liverpool in Porto while AC Milan are on the

end of some interesting referee decisions. We'll pay tribute to Roger Hunt,

an England and Liverpool legend, we'll look back at Brighton's last minute equaliser on Monday,

a lovely home goal in the championship, a barri-in Munich type email and a pod bombshell.

All that posse your questions and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

I thought that would prick your ears, Barry Glendenning, welcome.

Hi Max, I have no idea what this bombshell is and my curiosity's july aroused.

Excellent, well it is your last pod, I've been really far.

From the racing post, Mark Langdon, welcome.
