Summary
Another action-packed week, unpacked by Jimbo, Michael Cox, Tom Williams and Duncan Alexander.
Chelsea sack Thomas Tuchel with Brighton’s Graham Potter set to replace him at Stamford Bridge. We look at where it went wrong for Tuchel who never found an attacking solution, as Potter looks to back himself at one of the top jobs
Terrified Liverpool give one of the worst defensive displays in Champions League history and in the words of Jurgen Klopp, need to reinvent themselves.
Napoli are rampant, Bayern impress while PSG’s front three strut their stuff but also refuse to defend.
Andrew Todos talks us through the feel-good story of the week in the Champions League – Shakhtar’s 4-1 win in Leipzig.
It’s another goal-filled week for the unstoppable Erling Haaland. If only he’d picked England.
And Michael tells us all about Keira Walsh and her world record move to Barcelona, ahead of the return of the WSL
