But then we saw the Vinny substitution, which was picked apart last night.

And at the end of the game, there was all this talk about the Passillo, the Guard of Honour.

Xabi Alonso wanting his players to give the Barcelona players the guard of honour and Mbappe seemingly telling the other teammates not to.

Has it come down to some of these moments and this disconnect with the players?

Have they been scrutinised today?

They got called late accusing because of it.

Oggy, will this be tied into Liverpool in any way?

Obviously one of his former clubs that he was linked with when the Liverpool managerial position was opened.

Has what happened to Xabi Alonso here at Real Madrid hurt him in any way as a coach and whether clubs would be interested in bringing him in?

Absolutely.

Do you agree with what Stevie Sainz said?

Yeah, we'll see if it does.

We've got to let Sid go because he's actually calling a game today.

He's calling the Celtic game.

So Sid will let you go, but don't worry, there'll be more talk about this.

Tonight we'll be talking about the fact it is Alvaro Arbeloa who's coming in to replace Xavi Alonso.

Hello and welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC.

Kay Murray, Alejandro Moreno and Csaka Hyslop here in the studio kicking things off tonight in the Premier League where we saw a lot of action including Manchester City against Brighton.

We also saw a makeshift back line from City including

20-year-old Max Delane, who's been thrown straight in after being recalled from loan at Watford due to all the absences in defence.
