About this episode

Arsenal continued their perfect start to the Champions League this season with a 4-0 win against Atletico Madrid, Manchester City picked up their first away win in the competition since last October against Villarreal thanks to yet another goal from Erling Haaland, and Anthony Gordon put on a man of the match display as Newcastle beat Benfica 3-0 at St James’ Park.

Kelly Cates is joined by Andros Townsend, Guillem Balague, Glenn Murray and Ian Dennis to reflect on a great night for the English clubs in the Champions League.

There’s reaction to the news the La Liga match between Barcelona and Villarreal that was due to take place in Miami is off after opposition from fans and player protests at the weekend.

John Bennett joins us to talk about some incredible high scoring games, including Paris Saint Germain’s 7-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen, on a night where there were 43 goals scored across the competition.

Plus, we hear from Sean Dyche after he was appointed Nottingham Forest manager.
