New Champions League – brilliant or rubb...

THE TIMES
About this episode

Champions League, striking players, dodgy kits and card happy refs. It’s a busy episode.

Martin Samuel and Hamzah Khalique-Loonat agree on the Champions League but definitely do not agree on refs or football finance. Gregor Robertson steps in to referee. In amongst that Hamzah went to Milan to see Liverpool ease past the Rossoneri. Martin barely recognised Villa and City in their ‘new’ shirts.

Lastly, City v Arsenal this weekend, could a City win be ominous for the season?
