More Mbappe melodrama, Barca-Inter, Liverpool-City and what happened to Juventus?

Raphael Honigstein, Rory Smith and Duncan Alexander join Jimbo on a voyage across the Champions League, Premier League and beyond.

Barcelona and Inter produce one of the best group stage games of all time while Club Brugge and Juventus continue to wow us all, but in very different ways.

Tuesday’s drama is all off the field with suggestions that Kylian Mbappe wants to leave Paris in January. Julien Laurens describes what this might mean for PSG and for France at the World Cup.

Liverpool are 7-1 winners at Rangers, ideal preparation for their meeting with Man City at Anfield on Sunday. Have Klopp’s men got their mojo back or is this another Bournemouth false dawn?

Plus Mikel Arteta’s signature, Steven Gerrard’s lack of philosophy and Graham Taylor’s Impossible Job.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
