On the Football Daily Podcast, Champions League debrief. With Mark Chapman. Good night for all three English clubs in the Champions League. Arsenal winning at Tea Time Away to Slavia, Prague by three goals. Totsdam, Demolishing Copenhagen, 4-0. And in a really, really entertaining game at Anfield, Liverpool-dominated Real Madrid.

They beat them by a goal to nil, but it could have been more Ian Dennis. Yes, it could. It was a fully deserved win. And had it not been for the brilliance of Tibre Courtois, the margin of victory would have been far greater. The Belgian goalkeeper was in outstanding form as he produced two fantastic saves from Saboslai in the first half

and then just after half time two breathtaking stops. A reflex saved from Van Dyke at close range and then he tipped over an Eckertique header. However, just past the hour there was nothing he could do with a McAllister bullet header although he did prevent Gakpo making it too late on.

Real Madrid couldn't match Liverpool's intensity. Bellingham tested Mamadashvilly just before the break and Bappe closed with 15 minutes left with one that flashed wide. Alexander Arnold on his first return to Anfield received a chorus of booze as he made that first return with nine minutes left off the bench

but at full time, O'Rourke's crowd showed their appreciation for those in red. Stephen Warner and Jonathan Woodgate were alongside Ian Guillain Ballagay joins us as well bring game in in just a moment, but we did say pre-match Stephen, and we mentioned whether it could be VERS or GACPO,

but certainly when you looked at the back four, certainly when you look to that midfield three, it looked back to the Liverpool you'd expect. Yeah, it certainly did and Arna Slot made a big decision last week in the Caravow Cup whether to go with his strongest team or go with the weakest

team. But when I did the commentary on the game, what I was looking at was, why has he done that? And it was to work with this team again for a week apart was before the Aston Villa game and to get that continuity with the back forward that midfield and get back to what you were doing well last season and they did that tonight and they did it against Aston Villa and it's a huge step forward for Liverpool now it's about obviously

drip feeding in your newer players but they have to come to terms with how Liverpool playing why they were successful last season but yeah the back four outstanding the midfield wow what a performance that was from the guys in my field. It was really, really impressive. Real Madrid in many ways, Jonathan, where you could argue were lackluster in certain areas, but then you could probably flip that, couldn't you, and say Liverpool

didn't allow them to be anything other than lackluster in certain areas. Yeah, exactly. I think Liverpool played a massive part in that and the way Madrid played. I mean, I can't remember many times in BAPE really running behind Van Dyke or Canadi or even Toronto or even trying to make a running behind.

Okay, Venetius had a few goals of Connor Bradley, but I thought he was absolutely outstanding, and he didn't get much help off Salah. But one V-1 against one of the best wingers in the world, he was absolutely flawless. But you've got to say, that was credit to Liverpool,

and like Stephen just said, they're the three in midfield of what we've seen last season when they won the league, how good those three in midfield were. They're the three, aren't they? I mean, to both of you, they are the three. Drip your new signings in, however, you want them, wherever you want them to play, but those three are your midfield.

And whether you then alter your fullbacks or alter your front three, they're the cement. Always in a team or in anything in life, you want a strong car. You want a strong car right through the centre. They've got it with the two centre backs. Okay, they haven't been unbelievably great this season, but last season they've showed how good they are. But then you've got that three in midfield and then you've got the one up front, whether it be Atiki or Isak. that car's got to be strong, and that's what they've got now.

I think when you look at the performance of the midfield, I think there's over recent weeks, there's probably been a little bit too easy to get out the Liverpool defense, and they've ran off the back of the players a few times. That hasn't happened in the last two games. It's almost like they've had a meeting between themselves and said, you've got to protect us more, you've got to make sure you're back to where you were last year.

McAllister and Gravenberg weren't great at the start of the season. They've been really impressive in the last two games, but you've got to continue that form. I mean, McAllister was arguably, and Grabenberg, Liverpool's best players last season, because of that protection they gave the back for, but also as well, the way they pressed as well and got Liverpool higher up the pitch.

So it's imperative that you have those two players, but then you add in Sober's like, I mean, wow, the energy the guy has, the recovery challenges, but then his next thing is he's getting to the edge of the penalty area. He's running up the pitch. such an impressive performance from that guy and don't forget

there was talk of Vert's taking his place and he's gone absolutely not you are not having my place he's all action he's all action that was a huge difference you know I mean you kept saying in commentary Jonathan

it's as much Liverpool's work great without the ball that you praise from tonight yeah that's what won them the game the shape of the team and how they took the manager's game out of possession into the game is what won them the game

there was a massive difference Chapters between Liverpool getting their players behind the ball and Madrid getting players behind the ball. So if Madrid did it, you had two banks of four and in Batley and Venetius get back when they wanted to. With Liverpool, they got back as a team and they defended as a team and that's why they were so difficult to break down.

They were so strong through the middle. There was no gaps in between the lines. They were so compact. Guillem Ballagay joins us as well. Did they have passengers tonight around Madrid? A little bit. It just felt like Liverpool dictated all the time what happened at Aramfield. They played different games and they won every single one of them.

They were better than Real Madrid. Every single one of them from the beginning. He was like, well, you can have the ball to Real Madrid. And Real Madrid didn't do much with it. Meanwhile, Liverpool counterattack with danger. Set pieces, Liverpool were dangerous. Every 50-50 was won by a Liverpool player. And when they had to defend deep at the end and to keep the result,

they just did that very well as well so pace they're just stronger they quicker they're more intelligent and a reminder seven games in the championship played between english sides and spanish sides six one to england 14 goals against four so it just feels like the game played by the english sides right now is at a different pace the physicality is stronger they are intelligent they have talent do every part of the pitch and every time, every moment in the game. So there's a big, big gap. They know all of that in particular against Spanish sides, or are you saying against the rest of Europe as a whole?

It just feels that if you reproduce a little bit, the pace that you've got in the Premier League, but mixed, and the physicality, but mixed with knowing that at some point you're going to have to play some pause or you want to have to defend or you want to have to be intelligent and do the tactical files, you add all of that. got in every part of the pitch talent.

So he's against everyone. I've just looked at, you know, you're destroying us at the moment. But there is a lot of reasons for it. And it's not just this season. It comes from, and it doesn't come just with money. There's a lot of intelligent choices for many years. Tebow Cautoir will take a further step

to being best goalkeeper in the world, won't he? On your social media votes that me and Stephen were talking earlier about? It's the best goalkeeper in the world. best goalkeeper ever but yeah I don't know if I told you last time I met you but there was this poll yeah Stephen was saying

and Alice and Alice won and he was a bit annoyed he was very annoyed and at the end of the this was the championship just before the championship final Liverpool Real Madrid and at the end of the game he went what would England say now seems to have an extra motivation when he plays England he was absolutely outstanding today

I haven't seen a better goalkeeper than could try in the whole of my career. Simple as that. Wow. Wow. Stephen. I'm just trying to think of all the goalkeepers, but no, listen, he's an outstanding goalkeeper. There's been some other outstanding ones. I'm looking at Denno's to sort of...

He's not one of them. No, he's definitely not one of them. But there's been outstanding goalkeepers. But what you would say is that he's won all the major competitions and he's done it exceptionally well at Rail Madrid. he's definitely in line to be one of the best. I mean, Manuel Nua is also one of them outstanding goalkeepers. No, I'm not having Donoruma.

Is he the most decorated? Cassius. Casillas, yeah. Corto's had 14 major medals during his time at Rail Madrid. By the way, Guillem, Feliz Complianios for Sunday. Oh, thank you. Quantos Agnes, 107. 35. say no, just me, Guillaume.

Denno, why couldn't you say on Sunday? Oh, yeah. They didn't want to complicate it. Yeah, yeah. Jonathan, with your coaching hat on and everything that Guillem has said there about Premier League T's

compared to the rest of Europe, would you agree? I mean, I've got the table in front of me. By and I've gone to Paris Saint-German this evening and beaten them. So they are top. Four wins out of four. Arsul, four wins out of four as well.

We'll come on to them in just a moment is the pace the physicality and as Giam said the intelligence as well are they are they way ahead

at the rest of Europe and can you see all of them being in the last whatever it is but it ends up being the last 24 doesn't it but you know what I mean yeah I think I think there will be

I think when you're looking at the power and you look at the durability you look at the running stats they are massively above in this country like Hugh hugely. What I would say, though, you've got by Munich team, you've got Paris and Germano out far away. And when you look at Madrid and Barcelona, it's just a different type of football, what they're playing in Spain to what we play in England. And it's more

physical in this league. It's more demanding on the body. There's more games, but players can play Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday and keep on going and going and going. So I think we have an advantage by that, to be honest with you. And it shows when players from Spain or different countries come over. They do struggle quite a bit. It takes them a bit of time and get going. Sorry, Chappas.

Let's not get too carried away because Liverpool rumped to the top of this group last year. Paris Saint-Germain got beat by Arsenal at home and then you're looking at it going we're in a little bit of an unknown with the Club World Cup.

What's the effects of that for Paris San Jaman? Are they building up to the second half of the season? They'll win the French League at Canter. We know that. Then it's about what they can do in the latter stages

of the Champions League. they're not bothered about now they'll get through they're good enough to get through and then it's about peeking at the right time we don't know what city and chelsea are going to do because they were in the club world cup as well so there's a lot of unknowns and it's it's a good sign now but it doesn't matter because liverpool were in an incredible position and everyone went they'll win it and that that was what i was going to ask you stephen but i didn't want you to then hammer me because liverpool had won whether rare madrid were fairly and squarely and soundly beaten this evening but They also have a big safety net at the moment because they've won their first three.

And also, as you say, teams will know where Paris Saint-German ended last season and they still went and won it. So there are lots of insurances to make sure that, you know, you don't have to chase every single game. No, and the other thing is as well, a lot of people will forget this is, this is Real Madrid, but this is Jabby Alonzo's first season at Rail Madrid. He's very early into his reign as Rail Madrid manager. There'll be lots of things that he is saying aren't right. He was very animated on the touchline.

He wasn't happy with a lot of things that went on. And he all think that they can improve and get better. And they probably will get better as the season goes on. And that will be a concern because we know the quality of players that they've got. Virgil Van Dyke has said to television this evening. Interestingly, enough, Wayne Rooney was alongside him whilst he was doing this interview. It's very important to keep perspective. He said to the whole of the Amazon Prime panelist,

I think all of you know that you're dealing with the squad of 25 players. I know me personally. It doesn't affect me, but some players it might. When you're at Liverpool and you lose four or five games in a row, you expect criticism, but it has been over the top at times. It's been over the top, Jonathan? Yeah, I do, yeah. I really do.

Yeah, of course I do, yeah, because, like, what, he only lost four games on the bounce, isn't it? And it's his first spell in charge of Liverpool and his slot, and he's going to have a... He's going to have a rough period. Guardiola's had it before. Yergan Klopp's had it. So I think it was a bit harsh.

I read some of the comments about saying about leaders. Well, I think Virgil Van Dyde commented on that same well with the leaders last year. The leaders won the league. So some of the comments have been a bit harsh on them. I think they're having a tough spell. They seem to be through that now. I find it incredible that. There was certain Liverpool fans as well saying, well, it was Klop's team.

He fluked it. He got lucky. You don't get lucky winning a league title. And everyone's saying, like, well, they were given the league. If Arsenal win the league this year, is everyone going to say, yeah, well, Liverpool weren't at the races. They didn't deserve to win it either. You could say that every single season.

It's just you've got to be able to perform at the highest level throughout the season. It's very difficult to do that. I think one thing that he has tried to do, and he's learned from it, is he's probably tried to integrate too many players at one time, reverted back to type, and look what happens. So it might just be a learning curve for him. as a manager as well. Let me just give you the table then.

So Byron and Arsel played for 1, 4. They have 12. I'm not going to give you the whole table, by the way. We'll be here until half. Be it all night. But I had an Arsle both have 12, 100% records. Paris Saint-German 9 from 4. Inter also have 100% record.

They have 9 from the 3 games. They've played. Real Madrid, 9 from 4. Liverpool 9 from 4. Topham 8 from 4. Bruscia, Dortmund and Manchester City, 7 from 3. So they are To embrace the impossible

Champions League debrief With Mark Chapman Arsenal have continued their perfect start to the Champions League with a 3-0 win away to Slavia Prague. Alistabrese Ball was there with Pat Nevin. No drama for Arsenal in Prague exactly what Mikhail Arteta would have wanted. A 10th win in a row in all competitions, an eighth consecutive clean sheet. Four wins out of four in the Champions League so they are well on their way to securing a spot

in the top eight which would take you through to the last 16 of this competition and it would mean you'll miss those two extra games you don't want to play in the playoff round next year. So what do we ask Pat Nevin about? I wonder who watched the game with me in Prague. I'll tell you what, Pat, you picked up on it right at the end of commentary is you had your eyes on Gabrielle and William Saliba

to look at their reaction, their celebration, not just the win, but to keeping another clean sheet for Arsenal. First of all, it was a runner the mill win for all the other players. So I knew they would go, right, very good, we'll go and have a wee applaud over towards the small number of fans, a thousand fans that were over here. for Marstall, but Gabrielle and Saliba,

they live for defending. They live for clean sheets. And I suspect the turnaround had a look at Raya as well because he's a big part of it. But honestly, the way they celebrated and looked at each other as if this is what we do, this is what we live for. Boy, they do it well.

And right from the start, and they're asked a couple of interesting questions for the big center by, set forward hoary early on. And they just never flinched at any point time, they just didn't look into any danger. In terms of as a team at the moment, Pat, they look so complete and so confident,

even with so many players missing. This was a classic example of going into a game that you'd expect them to win, making a few changes, dealing with a difficult first sort of 10, 15 minutes, but you never really felt in any doubt that Arsenal were going to win tonight. No, you didn't. The first 15 minutes, as you say, you know,

the big effort from Slavia, but they didn't create any chances, really, you know, and, you know, Arsenal just waiting for them, not to run out of steam, but just to leave the odd space here and there. What's the big thing about Arsenal? If you look at Arsenal, see if they said last year, oh, they don't want Saka injured, what will they do without Saka? Well, he's wonderful, but you shrug your shoulders now. And the same with Odergaard, he's not an other team just now, but it's fine. You look all the way through that team, and it's two players.

It's actually, maybe a thud, maybe Declan, maybe Declan Rice. and it's just to take nothing away from them. But if you've got Gabrielle and Saliba at the back there and get them together, you really aren't concerned at all. And every other position and every other player is actually kind of in a way expendable. Yeah, and another key player they were missing tonight

and we don't know how long he's going to be out for, Victor Jokores, but Mikhail Marino did what he did last season. Steps in up front, scored two goals. Oh, he's a joke. The first one was great, beautiful finish. I mean, he's only going to keep it to be. it's on the volley but it's the effortless way that he just goes and volleys it into the side of the net past the goalkeeper it wasn't one of those ones where i put it on target and hope for the best

no no i won't pass it on the volley past the keeper where the keeper's coming from and the other one was just you know a striker the attitude of follow everything in you never know and it hits his head and it goes in the go so you know he's been absolutely fantastic when he's gone and come in as a kind backup striker but you have to say well done Marino but well done Mikhail Ateta because you've lost so many attack-minded players but you've got another one because you thought about it differently. Must mention the atmosphere we've watched the game in tonight this is 10 15 minutes after kickoff you can still hear it going on the slavia Prague fans have been magnificent and actually at the end of the game there pat that's really interesting I've not

seen that before that a sort of communal chant the players the team the squad down on one knee all bowing down sort of in front of the fans who went through the chant and now they've broken away the players they move away the support in here has been magnificent I can't see an empty seat there's about two or three empty seats maybe and that whole end for a long time after the game most most stadiums in the entire planet are empty now they're completely empty now but you can hear it there they're still singing and the players are going over there and as a former player what a wonderful feeling it is if you've gotten beaten

I mean I wouldn't be playing that a game we got absolutely hammered and the fans that was Chelsea fans at the time they just stayed behind and applauded as if they say it's okay we've got you here you know you can have a bad day behind you and he kind of maybe knew it was going to come in today

but as a player what a lift it gets you and I'm not saying because the fans have got every right to say no we're not happy we're annoyed you can't be annoyed with the Slavia friendly players Because they gave everything to do. One other little historical footnote, Pat, we must mention as well.

We saw a couple of the young Arsenal kids come on. In particular, Max Dowman, who's already played football for Arsenal this season. But his appearance tonight, that was a Champions League debut tonight, and the youngest player now by some distance to ever play in the Champions League. And actually, we saw some nice bits from him as well, didn't we? Yeah, it's, you know, he walked on to that pitch tonight. And he was probably technically better than any player in the opposition. and he's 15

and that's pretty special and the big thing that got to me and I always look at it and tell people to look at this if you've got a young player come down to a top professional team watch how often he's passed to because players will not pass the players that are not good enough they just won't do it at any level

it just won't happen they were zipping the ball to him at every single opportunity they play with him every week they train with him every week they know he's already good enough not he's going to be good enough he's already good enough he's already good enough and it adds to me that whole non-were phenomenal what he gives

Lewis Skelly now begins to sound old there's so many players that they have got coming in now that can add to the team and there's Haraman Anus come on as well tonight so it's extraordinary what they're bringing in what happens when Artetta eventually leaves us he's going to leave something very very special because the basic backbone of what he's brought and behind the players that there just now it looks as if they could keep this going for generations before he does that he wants to win the league title for the first time for Arsenal since 2004 they've never won this competition either so that will certainly be an aim they are definitely capable of both next up for Arsenal in the Champions League

Pyot Munich at home what a game Wednesday the 26 in November and next up for Arsenal in the Premier League tough game for them away at Sunderland on Saturday five lives got full commentary on that it kicks off at half five but another win for Arsenal in Prague tonight. They beat Slavia Prague by three goals to nil, four wins out of four in the Champions League without a goal conceded. Let's talk Spurs next.

Tottenham beat Copenhagen 4-0. The goal of the night, possibly the goal of the season, from Mickey van der Venn, who ran the whole of the pitch to score Tottenham's third. So who better to talk to than Curtis Davis, who was...

What? Don't pick me up too much because I've never done that in my life since I was 12 years old What I mean you were there I mean it is If it had a roof on it would have lifted the roof off Yeah well it's a stark contrast

To the Mickey van der Venn that was walking off the pitch On the weekend or disappointed So listen I said it was like the George Ware run But I think I've given him too much credit there I think it was more like Sons goal against Burnley He literally picked the ball up on the edge of the box He drove forward was maybe looking for a pass nothing was on drove forward again there were four men around him none of them

knew what to do and then once he found a little bit of space in front of him with the pace that we know he possesses he just knocked it into the space nobody could catch him he could have got his head up and maybe tried to square it to kola muani but he thought you know what i've come all this way and he slotted it like a true centre forward and what a finish and yeah what a goal to lift those fans after brennan johnson just got the red card yeah he said to tn t afterwards. To be honest, I saw a little gap and I thought I'll start dribbling and see if they could catch up. And then at one point, I just felt like I was through and thought, oh, I'll go for goal now. He said at that point, the physios were probably worrying about my hamstrings.

Thomas Franke said it could be goal of the season. It was like Lionel Messi had transformed into a centreback. So, I mean, you've gone with the, there wasn't quite as much dribbling as George Ware, was there. It was just down to pace more than anything else. Yeah, that's it. It was one of those like I say, he kind of stepped out of the space, he was looking for a pass, nothing was on, just kept going, kept going, kept going. And like I say, once he saw that space ahead of him, he knew nobody was going to catch him, but he probably never expected to

be that free around the edge of the box. And like I say, the finish was brilliant, because he is at full tilt, full pace, and the way he slots it into the bottom corner with his left foot was fantastic. It was 2-0 when he did that. It was 2-0 when they were reduced to 10 men. Brennan Johnson

sent off, having scored the opening goal. Overall, what was Tottenham's performance like? Well, in the first half, I think it was a solid performance, very much controlled the game, but maybe might have rude missed chances in the second half at only going in at 1-0. I think the big thing is with the first two goals,

both of them were mistakes by the goalkeeper. They did have a lot of chances, but both were gifts from the goalkeeper. The first one coming, steaming out when he shouldn't have. And then on the second one, he actually was in his favour, but maybe because of the first one, he didn't want to come all the way.

And then Colin Mawaini does really, well to get onto the loose ball and Squares as Frodeberry and it pretty much was game over but then obviously with Brennan Johnson needless tackle in the middle of the pitch gives them half a chance but then from there it seemed that they went from from no threat to just opening themselves up too quickly and spurs capitalised with not only van der Ven but also in the last goal for Pellina Romero was the one running forward and we thought he was going to get himself a goal as well yeah and richards and mr mr. mr. penalty as well as you when he when he hit the bar at the end Thomas Frank said afterwards after the red card the players found another level

you you would more suggest that Copenhagen went a bit more gung-ho too soon yeah I think they capitulated I think the way that Van der Leasen's goal yeah it was it was ridiculous you know that the run and everything in the pace that he showed that that wasn't particularly I guess their mistake other than the fact you know there were four people around in one of them maybe could have done a good foul as we call it the centre afts but none of them did that but with the odabere one it just kind of been like as he as he as he ran away on the on on the breakaway nobody's trying to track him you know after colomouan he's got the blocking nobody's tracking odabere and it kind of was just an

acceptance in the end and then there were a lot of opportunities like richarlison had headed against the post obviously hit the the penalty against the post had a header just wide and really and truly it could have been about seven uh tonight and and you wouldn't have walked away from here, scratching your head. How was that happened? It's just a, yeah, disappointing for Copenhagen the way they went about it, but yeah, an exciting night here at the Tottenham Stadium, particularly after

the weekend where they had their lowest ever XG for a Premier League game. Thank you, Curtis. See you soon. Curtis Davis at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Let's just touch on Bayern Munich. Top of the table after a 2-1 win at the Park de France against Paris Saint-German. And they had to play Connemara, the whole

of the second half, with 10 men. Yes. You know, sometimes these high-profile games don't quite live up to their billing, but this one really did. Byron scored early. Lewis Diaz after three minutes, 22 seconds. Usman Dembele had a goal back, but it was disallowed after VAO review. Then Diaz makes it 2-0. Terrible error there by Marquinos. Serge Canabri could have made it three. He'd a shot that came so close. It actually hit one post, went across the goal line, hit the other post, but stayed out. And then the big drama of the evening, Diaz sent off just before half-time. It was a Controversial decision, a really long VAO review over it, a tackle from behind.

Byron will say that a yellow would have sufficed, but he was sent off. And that completely changed the flow of the game for the second period. Parry-Sedgerman would have 25 shots in the end, but just one goal for them. Zhao Nevis came off the bench to get one back. It's his first home goal since January when he scored against Manchester City. Special mention from Manuel Noir, who made a world-class save one-on-one to deny Zia Emery. But it's a big win for Byron. they also beat PSG in the group phase last season
