Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Philippe Auclair and Jonathan Wilson after a midweek goal fest in the Champions League where Tottenham staged a thrilling comeback against the Italian Champions, both Manchester City and Liverpool scored for fun in Switzerland and Portugal respectively and Paris Saint-Germain failed again in Spain.

As Spurs took the plaudits for becoming the first team in 2018 to score against Juventus, the panel ask if everyone is getting a little carried away with a draw in Turin or if Mauricio Pochettino really is on his way to creating something special?

Cristiano Ronaldo may have scored two in Real Madrid’s win over PSG but are we witnessing the decline of one of the game’s greats? And why did the game fail to live up to its hype?

Domestically there is the small matter of the FA’s new partnership with Qatar to ponder, the new domestic TV rights deal which is worth less than three years ago and find out why Leicester should be more up for the FA Cup than any other side ahead of the fifth round.
