The Champions League delivered the goods again last night, with Liverpool playing out a 3-2 classic with Atletico Madrid in the Wanda. Tonight’s offering sees Man United up against Atalanta, and their embattled manager is feeling the heat – berating reporters for accurately reporting his exact words about hoping Marcus Rashford would prioritise his football last week.

 

But the centre-piece of the show is one of our favourite-ever slots with US Murph, as Brian talks to us about the exquisite pain of watching your team lose a decisive Game 5 to your most-hated rival… with your unbelievably sweet 10-year-old son beside you to console you. Childhood sporting heartbreak, coping mechanisms, and extreme acts of pettiness – all on the agenda today with the great man.

 

Plus there’s breaking yet totally unsurprising Steve Bruce sacking news as he and Newcastle go their separate ways.
