Anfield ultimatum, Suarez shocker, Chelsea fears and ’City to run away with it’

Mark Schwarzer, Michael Bridges, Melanie McLaughlin and David Squires join David Weiner off the back of the intriguing Liverpool v Bayern Munich and Lyon v Barcelona UEFA Champions League encounters.

Schwarzer joins the GegenPod after his night out at Anfield and explains the unusual atmosphere and sums up a delicately poised tie. He also looks at Liverpool's prospects and the mounting pressure and expectation: how will the fans react if Jurgen Klopp doesn't deliver silverware?

The former Chelsea goalkeeper weighs in on the ongoing Maurizio Sarri situation, with a grim prediction for Blues supporters.

Mel assesses the appointment of Ante Milicic to the Matildas post; former Leeds striker Bridges is furious with Leeds' punishment for 'Spy-gate' while The Guardian cartoonist Squires brings his inimitable sense of humour to the show, taking us on some unexpected tangents.

As always, the show hits a wide range of topics in the football world: from Luis Suarez's form and Alexis Sanchez's demise; to rumours of a Saudi Sheikh buying Manchester United; Thibaut Courtois' insight into Gareth Bale's inability to fit into the Real Madrid dressing room and the very odd advert involving Ryan Giggs' brother.
