On the podcast today: The Champions League returns – a great night for Gabrielle Martinelli as Arsenal win in Bilbao. He and fellow not really forgotten man Leandro Trossard come off the bench to win it. Spurs just about get the job done thanks to some disastrous goalkeeping. Thomas Frank will take the win in his first ever Champions League game however it came.

Elsewhere, there was a ridiculous 4-4 draw between Juventus and Dortmund, dubious penalty decisions going Real Madrid’s way and a historic win for Qarabag.

Plus, Carabao Cup action, wild swimming in Scotland and your questions answered.
