Weekend Review: Angry Pep, Sublime Salah, Gold-Plated Zlatan, and bargain-bin Barcelona, plus El Trafico, Milan out-Atalanta-ing Atalanta, and much much more!

First off, if you're in need of bad puns, this is the episode for you! Taylor is back to chat with Graham and Ryan about the biggest games from the weekend!1) Liverpool v Manchester City was a classic, even if the officiating was not (according to Pep)2) Atletico Madrid v Barcelona: Simeone's side were dominant, Koeman's side were coached from a phone, and Suarez got his revenge.3) Atalanta v Milan: No Zlatan. No gold car. No problem. Milan was dominant and won the first 86 minutes 3-0 before losing the final 4+ minutes 2-0. A net 3-2 means all 3 points!4) El Trafico lives up to its name... in that the final 30 minutes dragged on for a while and everyone seemed to wish they were home watching TV.Sponsors!BetterHelp!
