This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest edition of the European show I am your host

most Stuart and I'm very pleased to be joined by Lallyegan team these expert Graham Hunter and

we're going to be going over the Champions League week because we are in the

middle of the Champions League. We've had the first week we've got another week to

come up. So Graham how has it been for you? I mean for us Liverpool fans we were waiting a long time for the Champions League to come back and well for us it didn't disappoint. How is it for everyone else?

All right, my team module. Yeah, look interesting in lots of difference ways. It's ever since I've been

set it beating at home by even Bodagint and to see Rachel's got in Dartmouth and

score freely like that just extraordinary just how my week was Dartmouth and

at the top of the Dartmouth, just beyond my week was probably at the

at the top of the week I'd say that you know for somebody who adore Spanish football more, it was embarrassing to see that it round had played in Paris.
