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.

Patrick and Ted go through the Premier League weekend and ask which teams should be worried, and where the table is hiding what the numbers say.
Real Madrid were 3-1 down in the 83rd minute and won 4-3 on three corners in seven minutes. Nobody should be convinced.
Manchester City beat Liverpool, but did anything about it matter? Patrick and Neel review the weekend in the Premier League and La Liga.
Cristiano Ronaldo walked out of Portugal camp after being an unused sub against Norway, and Portugal won all their games under Jorge Jesus anyway. Patrick and Neel break down the Ronaldo fallout, first looks at France under Zidane and Germany under Klopp, and the chaos of AFCON qualifying, where Ghana and Nigeria are in serious trouble.
Ted is back from holiday to give his full take on the Manchester City charges: what punishment actually makes sense, whether titles can be undone, and why the appeal's central defense doesn't hold up. They also run the fantasy logistics of an actual City squad auction.
