In one ridiculous night of football, Manchester City and Barcelona both crashed out of the Champions League.

Is Pep Guardiola actually a… bald fraud? We consider his team selection, his daft sending-off, and Liverpool’s excellence.

We speak to journalist Terry Daley, who was in the Stadio Olimpico to see Roma beat Barcelona 3-0 in one of the most stunning upsets in European Cup history.

 

And we speak to gymnast Rhys McClenaghan, who won Commonwealth gold for Northern Ireland on the Gold Coast in Australia earlier this week, beating multiple world and Olympic champion Max Whitlock in the process. He’s a really viable Olympic gold medal contender for us in Tokyo 2020, and he joins us from the athlete’s village.

Plus there’s tofurkey, Rhys-ons to be cheerful, emoji spats, and Mick Mc drops the mic.
