On the podcast today: Liverpool beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League. But for Thibaut Courtois it would have been much, much more – this was Arne Slot’s side’s best performance of the season.

Elsewhere, Micky Van de Ven turns into a combination of Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale to score a goal of the season contender as Spurs beat Copenhagen 4-0 at home and Arsenal keep yet another clean sheet away.

Plus, the rest of the Champions League football from Tuesday night, Sunderland’s draw with Everton and your questions answered.
