PSG well prepared for Liverpool but Real lose again ahead of Madrid derby

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Joining Jimbo are Julien Laurens, Michael Cox, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor ahead of a mouthwatering midweek in the Champions League.

PSG versus Liverpool might be the tie of the round as two of the continent’s in-form teams clash. Are Luis Enrique’s side finally ready to banish the ghosts of previous knock-out defeats?

Real and Atletico meet in a Champions League Madrid derby, with Real slipping to 3rd in the Liga title race after defeat at Betis.

Bayern and Leverkusen also clash. Despite the 8 point lead held by the Bavarians in the Bundesliga, is Xabi Alonso favourite to get the better of Vincent Kompany?

It’s a big week for PSV and Robin van Persie’s Feyenoord. Michiel Jongsma has more.

Plus what Napoli’s draw with Inter said about Serie A and Paulo Fonseca’s extraordinary red card for Lyon.
