About this episode

Napoli stole the headlines, but who is their ‘new Maradona’ Khvicha Kvaratskhelia? 


Dotun, Andy and David Cartlidge chew over a dramatic first matchday of the Champions League. They wonder at Inter’s limp performance and a resurgent Leroy Sane, while David *does not* hold back on Max Allegri after Juventus' night in Paris showed just how far they’ve fallen in Europe. 


Plus, what’s the perception of Thomas Tuchel in Europe after his Chelsea sacking?
