Languid Liverpool, Olise On Fire & A Pivotal Week for Arsenal
4/9/202636 min
PSG dismantled Liverpool at the Parc des Princes and were unlucky not to score even more. Did Arne Slot get it wrong with a back five, or are PSG simply on another level? Elsewhere in Madrid, a brilliant performance from Michael Olise helped Bayern Munich take a crucial lead back to Munich. Another goal for Harry Kane brings his tally to 49 for the season, could he become the first English Ballon d’Or winner since Michael Owen? Gary, Alan and Micah also look ahead to a pivotal week for Arsenal. Despite an unconvincing performance against Sporting, they got the win, but can they carry that momentum into the weekend against Bournemouth and get their season back on track?

First 90 secondsMicah Richards· Host0:00
All I can say is Michael Olise- Oh my goodness It's a bit of a smash and grab really, but if they're to win at the weekend, I think that'll set them up perfectly for the rest of the season. Do we need to humble ourselves though a little bit? If you look at their players, player for player, PSG have got better players than Liverpool.
Alan Shearer· Host0:17
Who would've thought Newcastle went to Paris and battered them as well, should've won.
Gary Lineker· Host0:21
He's got Newcastle in. [laughing] He's got 'em in as a maker. And John Barn- [upbeat music] Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. Recording this on Thursday morning after two nights of Champions League football. But before we get to the games, um, Alan, you were working on Tuesday. Um, you were in Sporting- Yeah ... so you were in Lisbon, I should say.
Alan Shearer· Host0:54
I got back from Lisbon yesterday afternoon, four-hour delay, stuck at Heathrow.

38 years ago today, lads. 38 years ago today was when I scored my hat trick, made my debut at 17.
Gary Lineker· Host1:18
38 years, man. Oh my God, what's going on?
Micah Richards· Host1:22
