On this episode, Patrick and Neel run through this week’s Champions League fixtures. PSG v Bayern leads the show as Bayern make a statement with their turnover-to-chance fluidity and PSG suffer from strange structural moments. Liverpool produce a dominant night against Real while Barcelona’s defensive issues keep showing up (despite Lamine Yamal's brilliance). Will Vinicius Jr. leave Real Madrid and where should he go? Plus Chelsea vs a Harry Potter spell and more. Enjoy!
