Summary
Was that the greatest football match ever?
Marcus, Pete and Jim admire last night's Champions League masterpiece, a game that simply could not have been better. Actually, only if Vincent Kompany was in a panic room for his suspension.
We celebrate a proper feast of football, particularly Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who continues to play like a true football cult hero, but one who actually wins stuff. Elsewhere, there are somewhat reputable reports that Amanda Staveley is consorting with another consortium to take over Newcastle and José Mourinho is on the verge of a return to Real Madrid. Plus, The King of Football Gianni Infantino gets denied a motorcade in Vancouver.
