00:00We're ready into this cold, or so-called, league phase in the UFA Champions League.

00:08Some of the heavyweights coming into action, major upsets as well.

00:12We're talking about some teams coming out swinging.

00:15We've seen some upsets.

00:16You know, how about Manchester City with sporting CP?

00:19I mean, we thought, you know, Man City, Guardiola, and then again, sporting with the whole thing

00:23about Ruben Amorim.

00:25But what about a 4-1 shocking defeat in the hands of sporting CP, Viktor Djokic, the Swedish.

00:33That's why I'm wearing my Sweden merch today, because, you know, I like Viktor Djokic.

00:40I like his hat trick.

00:42He was just impressive, man.

00:43What are your thoughts about this game?

00:44Well, I think, man, it was, I think, Manchester City, first of all, Josef Guardiola, he's,

00:50for the first time since 2018, has lost three consecutive games.

00:54So that's something to keep in mind.

00:56I don't know if it's because Rodri is not in the lineup, but definitely you can tell

01:01that they're missing something.

01:03I think that Manchester City, with the team that they have, they should be beating teams

01:08like Sporting and have them at the top of the Champions League.

01:15You know, it's interesting.

01:16I was looking throughout social media.

01:18I don't want to make fun of anybody, especially Manchester City fans.

01:21I'm sorry, guys.

01:22But there's a picture that has Pep Guardiola standing, you know, very close to Ruben Amorim,

01:28who's the so-called new manager or set to be the new manager of Manchester United.

01:33And Pep is just looking at Ruben like, hey, what's up?

01:36And that was very interesting to me.

01:38And that could be, you know, it could be the very future of the Manchester derby, right?

01:43That game that's so special for these teams.

01:45That's why, in my opinion, this win by Sporting CP, led by Ruben Amorim, was very, very meaningful.

01:52Well, let's see if Amorim is going to take a jokerish to Manchester United.

01:56Maybe they can help them beat Manchester City finally.

01:59That's what they're saying.

02:00And then again, I want to say, you know, rumors are going to hold true, but this is going

02:04to get interesting.

02:05So there is plenty more action.

02:07And you know, over at the Bernabeu, this is a game that to me, I grew up a Real Madrid

02:11fan.

02:12I'm not as much anymore.

02:13But I remember the late 80s when Ruud Gullit, Marco Van Basten, Frank Rijkaard, the Dutch

02:18superstars who beat the, you know what, Hugo Sanchez, Butragueño and Real Madrid.

02:24And that's why Hugo Sanchez, he won everything in Spain, but he could never win the Champions

02:29League.

02:30So that is why this win by Milan this week, 3-1 at the Bernabeu, was very meaningful.

02:37And I think a lot of Real Madrid fans or who grew up, you know, liking Hugo and those guys,

02:43that will resonate a lot because this was a game that was not supposed to go that way

02:48Not only that, coming from a defeat versus Barcelona, a spank versus Barcelona, rather

02:53than Bernabeu, I think it was shocking.

02:56I think it shocked the world that Milan was able to beat Real Madrid.

03:00But again, they're missing Carvajal, I think it's an important piece for Real Madrid in

03:04the back.

03:05And you can tell me, like, Madrid is struggling a lot defensively.

03:09I think that they got to do something about it.

03:12Angelotti definitely needs to make some changes because Madrid, psychologically, they don't

03:16look like they're there.

03:17They don't look like the champions because we have always seen Real Madrid in La Liga,

03:20they play one way and when they go to Champions League, they become the monster that they

03:24are.

03:25We didn't see that against Milan.

03:26Chibat, before moving on to the next game, you follow a lot of CONCACAF, U.S., Mexico,

03:31etc.

03:32How about Christian Pulisic?

03:33I mean, is he the guy?

03:34He's playing really well in Europe.

03:36Can he translate all of that and bring it into the team for Mauricio Pochettino?

03:40Well, that's what the U.S. is hoping for.

03:43The U.S. is hoping to see that version of Pulisic here at the CONCACAF games.

03:48He had a tremendous game with Morata, you know, como dicen, para que la cuña apriete,

03:53tiene que ser de mismo palo.

03:54He had a phenomenal game versus Real Madrid and hopefully Madrid gets back where they're

03:59supposed to be, man.

04:00And that will pretty much, I mean, it's impossible to translate, para que la cuña apriete, tiene

04:04que ser de mismo palo, but if you're playing your ex, you're going to do well.

04:08And that's exactly what Adolfo Morata did.

04:10Now let's go to the land of John Paul George and Ringo Anfield.

04:14Liverpool cruising to a 4-0 victory over Valle de Leverkusen.

04:17The record is perfect so far.

04:19Luis Diaz with a hat-trick.

04:20I mean, the Colombian has been unstoppable, pretty much, for Liverpool.

04:25How about Xabi Alonso coming back, then again, talking about the law of the ex, coming back

04:30to Liverpool, where he played tremendous games.

04:32Now coach Valle de Leverkusen thinks it didn't go that well for him.

04:35Well, I mean, when you have a team like Liverpool in front of you, it's going to be near impossible.

04:39Even if hasta la cuña apriete, it's the same.

04:43But, you know, I mean, Leverkusen, they try their best, but Liverpool, let's face it,

04:47with Salah and Luis Diaz on top, they're a very super strong team.

04:52And I think that they're, for me, Liverpool is the number one team to win these champions.

04:58They're my favorite team, so I'm with you, brother.

05:00Let's go.

05:01You know, Beatles, Liverpool, Anfield, et cetera, let's all get immersed in this culture.

05:06But anyway, before we jump into Wednesday's fixtures, let's quickly take a look at some

05:10other notable results from Tuesday's action.

05:13PSV Eindhoven beating Girona 4-0, you know, Malik Tilghman was impressive.

05:18Then let's talk about GnK Dynamo beating Zlatan Bratislava, Sandro Kulanovic started with

05:23a brace to secure Dynamo's second win.

05:26Then Monaco, the former team of Rafa Marquez beating Bologna, one of the surprising teams.

05:31Celtic in Scotland beating Leipzig 3-1, Juventus, another team that can't contend, drawing against

05:37Lille, a 1-1 game for them.

05:39And then Borussia Dortmund just nearly got an upset against Thorngrass.

05:44They got a 1-0 victory.

05:46So now it's time to dive into Wednesday's action of the UEFA Champions League.

05:51Some great matchups, very surprising outcomes, and some games that have significant impact

05:56into the group standing.

05:58Let's go to Estrella Roja, red star of El Grado against Barcelona.

06:03Barcelona that surprised the world by beating, again, I go back to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

06:07Well, this is youngsters on the field, but you know what?

06:10It's more outstanding.

06:11The fact that Lewandowski is finally scoring more goals, and it seems like he's connecting

06:15with the youngsters, because everybody will think, like, this is a very young team, he's

06:19too old for this team, and he's delivering, man.

06:22Yeah, Hansi Flick is doing a tremendous job.

06:24I mean, we say it week in, week out.

06:26We thought Rafa Marquez was going to get that job, or at least, you know, there was

06:30a good possibility, but not there.

06:32So talking about Paris Saint-Germain against Atlético de Madrid.

06:35Atlético got a great win against Paris, but let's see what they can do with Cholo Simeone

06:41and company.

06:42Man, Cholo Simeone is always a very tactical manager, and, you know, the result tells us

06:48that.

06:49And Atlético de Madrid is always a contender, but unfortunately, they, les falta el peso

06:54para el dólar.
