A seven-goal thriller full of fantastic football and moments of sublime skill executed at blistering speed. And no mind-games, insults or bad feeling – just mutual respect and appreciation. Has Liverpool v Manchester City emerged as the Clasico of the Premier League?

Jurgen Klopp’s team aren’t contenders to win the Premier League but they showed the rest of the league that when it comes to playing City, who dares might just win.

Meanwhile Paul Lambert has taken over at Stoke City, meaning that Martin O’Neill is set to carry on with Ireland a while longer.

We discuss Der Spiegel’s latest eye-watering report on Lionel Messi’s financial affairs.

Dion Fanning joins us to analyse what’s happening with O’Neill and look back on that classic at Anfield.

And Sid Lowe explains what is going wrong at Real Madrid.
