It’s Valentine’s day – which means only one thing: the Champions League returns for the knockout stage – which in turn means only one thing: Ken’s favourite journalist is back on Champions League preview duty.

 

After we discuss the latest in the worlds of some leading figures in football – Messi, Neuer, Boehly, Coleman – Melissa Reddy joins us to talk about the Merseyside derby.

We also talk about her recent article for Sky that seemed to annoy Jurgen Klopp and the publication of the Independent Panel Report into the organisational failures at last year’s Champions League final in Paris.
