from 2021-09-29T01:21

:: ::

Kelly Cates is joined by Michael Brown, Sylvain Distin and John Murray to reflect on Manchester City’s 2-0 defeat at Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League group stage.

They discuss what City lacked after dominating possession and having more shots on target - and whether PSG were that convincing despite winning the match.

We hear what Pep Guardiola made of his team’s performance, before Julien Laurens joins us to discuss what Lionel Messi’s first goal will mean to him and the fans and how the front three of Mbappe, Neymar and Messi are allowed to play with such freedom.

Alistair Bruce-Ball rounds up another big win for Liverpool as they thrashed Porto 5-1 and tells us what injury issues Jurgen Klopp is facing ahead of Sunday's visit of Man City.

John Bennett drops by to tell us about the other big results in the Champions League – including a shock last-minute win for Moldovan side Sheriff against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

And we reflect on the passing of Liverpool’s record league goalscorer and England World Cup winner, Roger Hunt, who has died at the age of 83. Former Liverpool defender and assistant Phil Thompson shares his memories of his idol and friend - describing what his success meant for the club and its fans.
