Have Iraola's Liverpool finally clicked? Patrick and Hayden Van Brewer break down a big Champions League midweek. Liverpool fell 2-0 down to Villarreal before Iraola's changes swung the game, with Rio Ngumoha at the centre of it. Arsenal and Bayern drew 2-2 in a tactical chess match, PSG beat Barcelona 4-2 in a game full of injuries and giveaways, and we finish with a look at Real Madrid vs Leipzig. Over on Patreon: Manchester United vs Como, and what they could have done in the summer to avoid the situation they're in now.
