Gregg Evans and James Pearce join Tony Evans to reflect on a convincing Champions League win in Marseille.

The panel assess Mohamed Salah’s role, a standout night for Dominik Szoboszlai, and whether the Hungarian midfielder is now not just Liverpool’s most important player — but a future captain.

There’s also discussion on Liverpool’s record-breaking finances, as The Athletic’s Chris Weatherspoon joins the pod to break down the club topping £700m in revenue for the first time and what it means for wages, spending and competitiveness.

Finally, attention turns back to domestic matters, with a tricky trip to Bournemouth looming and questions over whether Liverpool can reset their mentality and translate European confidence into Premier League points.
