UEFA Super Cup Special 2019: Slugspilicueta - a podcast by Did It Cross The Line

So inevitably it went to extra time and penalties in Istanbul but Liverpool beat Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup and Rebecca and Alex jumped on the mics immediately afterwards to chat about the match.

On the Liverpool front, there's lots of love for Adrian who was the hero of the penalty shootout in his first full game for the Reds. And although there was some concern from Alex about the sloppiness of Liverpool's first half performance, the front three once again made the difference with two big goals from Sadio Mane and a game changing performance from Bobby Firmino which sees him compared to Leslie Knope.Chelsea's performance was much improved from Sunday's loss to Man Utd and Rebecca has a lot more positives to take away from this one. N'Golo Kante made the big difference in the midfield with an imperious performance and we discuss how Lampard has adapted the midfield three from how Sarri deployed them, as well as talking up performances from Pulisic, Pedro and Giroud.

The other big talking point yet again was VAR and we delve into how they managed to screw up a big penalty call in extra time and why nobody should be placing the blame on referee Stephanie Frappart and her team.Plus, an analysis of the bizarre BT Sport punditry, discussion about why UEFA even needs this game to go to extra time, new nicknames for players, full back issues, and more.
