What happened in the PSG vs. Liverpool Champions League match?
All I can say is Michael Alisi.
Oh my goodness. It's a bit of a smash and grab, really. But if they're to win it the weekend, I think that'll set them up perfectly for the rest of the season.
Do we need to humble ourselves, though, a little bit? If you look at their players, player for player, PSG have got better players than Liverpool.
Who would have thought Newcastle went to Paris and batted them as well? Should have won.
He's got Newcastle in!
He's got them in!
I'm done!
I'm done! I'm done!
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker, recording this on Thursday morning after two nights of Champions League football. But before we get to the games, Alan, you were working on Tuesday.
How did Michael Olise perform in the Bayern Munich match?
You were in Sporting, so you're in Lisbon, I should say.
I got back from Lisbon yesterday afternoon, four-hour delay, stuck at Heathrow. But Lisbon's lovely. Were you drunk, P.L.? Just a little bit, Gaz, yep.
LAUGHTER
I saw a thing this morning. Is there some sort of special anniversary today, Alan?
38 years ago today, lads. 38 years ago today was when I scored my hat-trick, made my debut at 17.
38 years, man. Oh, my God. What's going on? Oh, that wasn't for Southampton, was it?
Yeah.
What challenges does Arsenal face in their upcoming matches?
87. It's just madness. Bloody hell.
It goes quick. Doesn't it? Yeah, and I remember seeing it. And I was at the end of my career nearly. Time flies very quickly. What did we make of the overall of the quality of the Champions League games? I thought Bayern Munich at Real Madrid was probably the best game. So many, so many chances, both ends. Not great defending, but it was great to watch.
Yeah, still a lot to play for that game. I mean, the number of chances that I saw was unbelievable from both teams.
All I could say is Michael Alisi.
What adjustments did Liverpool make in their strategy against PSG?
Oh my goodness. Every time I watch him, I'm thinking, how have Man City not got him? How have Liverpool not got him? Early though. And I don't mean just now. I mean early doors. I remember Alistair playing against City thinking, this guy is something special. I know there was a few concerns around his injuries and stuff, but he's taking his game to the next level. He's almost, almost... Lamine, the dreamlike.
Similar level. Obviously, he was at Reading, wasn't he, before Palace got him. Can you remember he cut in off the right-hand side, as he often does, and scored that unbelievable goal? I think I called it his goal of the month winner. And then within an hour, someone scored one that was even better.
Why is Harry Kane a contender for the Ballon d'Or this season?
I remember you rubbishing me in the studio. And I remember I've been, because obviously I'm a friend of the pod, Steve Parrish, who'd had him at Palace. And I remember discussing with him in the early days when they had both Elise and Eze. And I was talking about both of them. He said, Elise is unbelievably special. We all think he's going to be a superstar. So he was spot on on that. And you could see that incredible talent. It really is very special. This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before we kick off, a quick pre-match warm-up from Fuse. Today's question is, which club recorded the most clean sheets in the Premier League last season? Was it A, Manchester City, B, Liverpool, C, Aston Villa, or D, Arsenal?
I'm going to play reverse psychology here. Why would you put Villa in there?
What are the implications of Arsenal's recent performances?
Is that your answer? No, it's not.
I'm going Liverpool. Liverpool. That was a quick change there, wasn't it? Alan, who are you going for? Villa. Mike has sucked you in there, hasn't he? Yes. That is not the answer. The answer, the team that recorded the most clean sheets of which neither of you even gave them a mention there.
You know what?
I know it I don't know it you don't know it it's Arsenal because Ray got the golden glove didn't he correct it's Arsenal with 13 clean sheets the best sides don't give things away it should be the same with your energy get more than just lower rates at fuseenergy.com slash football use the code football or uppercase when you sign up save around 200 pounds on your energy bill and get the chance to ask us your football questions on the pod full terms and conditions at fusion
