Episode 3196: One Day A Ship Comes In

A Champions League tie that left us with so many questions. How did PSG suddenly get this good? Why did Arne Slot think it was a good idea to pick the same starting XI that had been played off the park in Paris?

And when Darwin Nuñez stepped up to take Liverpool’s second penalty in the shootout, why did nobody shout “stop!”

We ponder those riddles before Dion Fanning and Jonathan Wilson join us to talk about last night’s game. Is Wilson now rooting for Nasser al-Khelaifi’s babies? What does it say about the Premier League that a team outclassed by PSG are running away with the title? Might that be related to the fact that Vitinha was somehow deemed not good enough for Wolves? And what problems do Liverpool need to solve to be better next season?
