We look back on the first matches of the Champions League group stage, in the first week of the dawning Age of Erling Braut Haaland.

 

 

Spurs were disappointed to lose a 2-0 lead in Greece, but are Mauricio Pochettino and Harry Kane going overboard in their criticism of the team? Meanwhile the big two in Spain seem to have problems, while in Germany the national team goalkeepers tear strips off each other.

 

 

Miguel Delaney was in Paris to see Zinedine Zidane’s confused team sink without trace. He also fills us in on the experience of covering one of these matches in Naples.
