Duration: 56 min
Tottenham manager sacking
Igor Tudor has become the first ever Spurs manager to lose all of his first four games in charge. He was asked post-game about his job security. He said, no comment.
Champions League results
Real Madrid treat Manchester City as if they were Real Oviedo. Arsenal draw at Leverkusen. Liverpool go to self-proclaimed hell and wobble to defeat in Turkey. Chelsea outclassed and humbled 5-2 in Paris.
Lamine Yamal
Lamine Yamal hardly in the game, but then at the death, a penalty. 20th goal in 36 games. I love what he said post-game about his exposure to English football: 'You receive the ball, it feels like you've stolen something. Three players come immediately.'
Champions League format
Everything that UEFA tell us about this format and why it works so well is because the big clubs get to play each other more often. And to have this game five years running, there's none of that scarcity value.
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
Fede Valverde defied gravity or used gravity to go hips don't lie. With his wrong foot lashed across, I think he quite stunned Donnarumma into the opposite corner.
Tottenham crisis
Maybe this ferry boatman, Igor Tudor, is there. He's Hades. You know, he's taking Tottenham to the underworld.
Atalanta fan culture
I look up from my laptop in the press stand and it's just noise I can hear. It's not booing, it's not whistling when the Atalanta players have gone over to see their fans after losing 6-1. It's a raucous atmosphere as if they'd just won 6-1.
Premier League dominance
Just because the English clubs or City and Chelsea have lost tonight doesn't change the fact that the Premier League is still the strongest league and its teams are set up in such a way that they should dominate this competition.
Goalkeeper selection
Antonio Conte saying that he'd been told by one of his mentors back in the day that you can marry the wrong woman but you cannot sign the wrong striker or goalkeeper.
Mauricio Pochettino
I always scratch my head at Poch being linked with this Real Madrid job. I certainly think, even when he was at his peak at Tottenham, it still felt like a reach then for me.
Bukayo Saka form
I know Bukayo Saka is considerably younger than you and I, but I would be in favor of him maybe spending a week out the team just to go through the Celine Dion back catalog and just get fully up to date with Celine.
