On the podcast today: what better way to be reminded that Eric Dier joined Monaco in the summer than for him to score a 90th-minute penalty and earn a 2-2 Champions League draw against Manchester City. It was easier for the other English clubs in Europe, as Arsenal and Newcastle won comfortably against Olympiakos and Union Saint-Gilloise, respectively.

Elsewhere, PSG win late in Barcelona, Rasmus Højlund looks like a natural centre-forward at Napoli and Qarabag’s dark horse credentials.

Plus, a Premier League preview, lots of correspondence from our Turkish listeners and your questions answered.
