Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton and our Brentford correspondent Jay Harris to reflect on the remarkable victory for Thomas Frank's side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, including a look at whether they can hope to keep hold of Christian Eriksen and how if things were slightly different Thomas Tuchel could have been in the Brentford dugout.
Adam has been talking to PSG president and chairman of the European Clubs Association Nasser Al-Khelaifi about his views on how the Champions League can grow and be modernised in comparison with mega events like the Super Bowl.
We're also joined by The Athletic's Matt Slater who has returned from Doha after last week's World Cup draw and found that Qatar was in much punchier mood than usual when it came to questions of their human rights record and suitability to host the tournament
