EURO INCISION WITH NINA & GUY | CHAMPIONS LEAGUE REVIEW
Nina and Guy return with another edition of Euro Incision on Anfield Index, reviewing a dramatic week of Champions League football, with Liverpool's remarkable comeback, Manchester United's growing turmoil and PSG's impressive victory over Barcelona taking centre stage.
Liverpool's thrilling 4-3 victory over Villarreal provided another unforgettable European night at Anfield. After falling two goals behind, Andoni Iraola's side fought back through Alexis Mac Allister, Ronald Araujo and Florian Wirtz, with Rio Ngumoha producing a standout performance.
But while Liverpool have maintained their perfect Champions League record, serious questions remain about their defensive vulnerability. Can the Reds continue outscoring opponents, or will those defensive problems eventually catch up with them against Europe's elite?
Meanwhile, Manchester United's problems deepen following a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Como. Nina and Guy discuss the turmoil surrounding United, their lack of direction and the striking contrast with Liverpool's ability to find a way to win.
Attention also turns to PSG's statement 4-2 victory over Barcelona, as the French champions demonstrated their attacking quality in one of the standout matches of the round.
What does the result tell us about PSG's Champions League ambitions, and should Liverpool consider them one of the biggest threats in this season's competition?
With goals, comebacks, controversy and major questions emerging across Europe, Nina and Guy assess the latest results and what they mean for Liverpool's chances of going all the way.
Are Liverpool genuine Champions League contenders, can Manchester United recover from their European humiliation, and have PSG established themselves as the team to beat?
All this and more on Euro Incision with Nina and Guy, exclusively on Anfield Index.
Dave Davis is joined by Lewis Steele to discuss:
