Tom White and Darragh MacAnthony dive into English dominance in the Champions League, with five Premier League clubs finishing in the top eight of the league phase. After a statement win away at Napoli on the final matchday, is Liam Rosenior already silencing his doubters?

Attention then turns to Manchester City — do they still look like contenders for both the Champions League and Premier League? Darragh isn’t convinced they’ve got what it takes this season, but he does agree with City fan Luke on one thing: Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager of all time.

Finally, Liverpool supporter Connor joins the show to ask: what is Arne Slot getting right in Europe, but wrong domestically? Darragh argues that European sides are struggling to cope with the tactical shift and physicality of English teams this year.
