Firstly, great to have you on the show.

Surprise.

You know, what would we gain?

Lots of fixtures coming thick and fast.

The championship.

But great that you are you with us.

Thank you.

It's good to be back.

And yeah, it's been hectic about few weeks, but it's nice to be back.

Thanks, Glenn.

Always contract on this show is always Let's start by talking about your former club.

Liverpool was with you watching the game very animated.

Surprised too many.

Losing this game one nil.

Sona gets the gold score there.

What did you make of the game?

I think it's the way we saw.

That game on forward is kind of almost the only way you can beat live report a month.

It's almost like a smash and grab.

They got going only got which is great for them and pretty much Satyan the ropes and gave Luke will be a respect or a lot of respect.

And it be interesting to see what they do when it comes to Anfield, cause I don't think you can get away with those tactics for 90 minutes and field.

I think livable world breaking done eventually.

So I don't think the worst result in world.

Yeah, well, come on.

What?

It means The second leg.

Leah's a manager yourself without a bit of a masterclass from Diego Simeone.

There we saw Animated.

He wants towards the end job done for him.

Yeah, job done.

Because they've done what a lot of teams haven't been out.

Do for a long time against Liverpool.

So you can say that.

Be like Len said.

It's gonna be a matter of time before Liverpool score.

I'm surprised I didn't score tonight.

Just like that little bit of quality time with their deliveries into the box from wide but fair.

Plato.

Absolutely.

Codey.

They made it to then act across the ball all the time and defend crosses, and they trusted their defenders.

So it's gonna be gonna be tough guy hands around field and trying to hold on to that.

Yeah, let's talk about that.

Because one near Liverpool of overturned many defeats in the past.

The famous one, Of course.

Last season against Barcelona, you've played in those European Knights at Anfield, Glenn, just give us an insight into that's wealth, manufacture and field and what that could do to the place.

Um, well, it's massive, made lots of money for these big games because the fans will be there a lot earlier than players.

And that bullet in the flares off early doors are making it very uncomfortable from Madrid for the minute we turn up.

So everyone knows.

Everyone knows far, far starts from Liverpool.

But I would imagine a sleeve said.

I reckon it would just be a matter of time until living will break them down and say, without without 12 man pulling a minute, I think I would get the job done.

Still a lot of it.

I think it will still out flavorful favorites because of what you said.

But club blitz disappointed, very animated as well.

It's very animated.

Touchline wasn't with your own clock on Diego Simoni.

Clock will be very unhappy with that result.

Money, even though he knows he's capable in the in the second act, split around.

Of course you don't want to win, you don't lose any match.

But as I said earlier, I feel it's the only way they will lose in terms of an early goal and then a team just parking the bus and making it very difficult.

But you saw you saw moments there where there's a couple of potential fouls in a box where clock try toe, wave his arms around and get decision for his team.

And rightly so.

You know he's trying.

He's trying to get results, so but you're both.

Both managers are very animated on Lee.

How well Diego Simeone set up for this game because we know what club has today to overturn it, but they've got the one new leads.

How do you think he'll sets up?

Because Athletico Madrid teams in the past, no toys have been very hard to be a very well organized we saw tonight.

What would his mindset did you think going into a game that they've already won?

The Muppets are think very similar to what I've done tonight.

I think that, like you said, that was very solid.

442 very solid, defended their box very well, defended.

There was no space for for the Liverpool players to full place to run in behind and create problems in behind her think was in front of him.

Like I said, they let him go wide and then they defended the crosses, but like I said, live implied that quality Normally from out wide thio.

Eventually they're going to get on the end of one and then crosses.

So the school Liverpool score 101 100% 100.

Did you know, I think they've scored tonight is because it was a surprise to many.

They didn't score that.

It's going so many goals.

This is Liverpool.

Winded are in there and the atmosphere and everything.

You just grabbed a gun and a defense that is completely different, completely different.

And and from what my shorts experience plan in Europe you're playing against.

Two different teams are sent to Glynn earlier.

When you play against a team away from home, and then when they're playing at home, they're not the same.

So just elaborate on that in terms of what factors of the crowd Mother.

Other factors year Dykes did when I played at home for lease.

Then we just overrun tings on Liverpool do the same.

They just overrun them and then, But when you then play that same team at their place, they become a different team completely.

It's like they've got more energy their attitudes different.

Whether they don't like traveling.

I don't know.

Maybe it's changed a bit more from my days, but I'm watching that there and there's not much different.

So, yeah, once Liverpool getting back, they had become a different animal for me.

And then they just run over the top of your jail.

Felix didn't play injured.

Of course, record signing Diego Costa has not been fully.

If it did come on s if he does play in the second look, how big will he be?

Front.

Let's go.

He is the kind of play we imagine that would be quite up for that game.

You know, Diego costly thrives on those big games.

Does.

Yeah, yeah, for me.

They need him in that game because he's he's a sort of God.

He knows how to be a pest, if you like in in those big matches, but he has the ability to back it up.

Well, so he's obviously a big guy that lives toe, create havoc for the Senate, robs and try and get them thinking of something else a supposed to their game plan.

So for me, if they if they're gonna try and get through this title think it needs to play and field on.

When we were saying 100% Liverpool score, so you not big in agreement, You believe that as well?

Yeah, let's go do because obviously they've been a force that no one's been able to stop so far.

So I expect him to score, especially at home.

Onda things with Athletico going there now with something to lose.

I think that would play them or defensive because in their eyes they're gonna think that great result and look say if if you live aboard won this game one nil I think Madrid would have been a bigger Fred and Field, really, because they would have nothing to lose and I could just throw for the toys out and go for it, whereas now they've got kind of a foot through the door.

They've got something to lose and they might try and defend it a bit more.

Okay, amazing stat.

This Lee Liverpool have never lost a two legged knock outside in Europe on the Juergen Klopp, back to back Champions League finals also got to Europa League final.

There's a year when they weren't in Europe, of course, I mean, that is a phenomenal statistic, isn't it?

But that there a machine on.

And that's why so animated on the sides because they just don't like losing my matter What football actually turned.

What used to either.

They're not used to it, and I don't like it.

No one does.

But I think that since club's been there is turned him into a machine.

And they just keep winning and winning and grinding out results even when I don't play well.

So tonight, maybe disappointed.

But here, look at the bigger picture and they're still 90 minutes to go.

Let's talk about Trent Alexander Arnold because you read some very interesting quotes today.

This is from Brazil's legendary World Cup winning right back Cafu know about play?

Who said Trent Alexander Arnold see similarities in his game to his own game, and he has what it takes to become a balance door winner.

So strong Praise Not that we don't agree, Trent.

Seven a fantastic season.

You go along with what Khufu says that.

Is there anything that good Ballon d'Or winner?

Yeah.

What if he If he keeps developing the way as being them for sure, it was obviously a very young kid, not been around that long, but he plays like he's been playing in a primitive of 15 years, eh?

So long as he keeps learning the game and has the same love and passion that he showed so far.

Then, then I don't have anything to stop him.

And you both expect Liverpool to turn it around, jacking like that hot head, obviously former club, but also both.

Okay, You buy this thing to go through, then in terms of the Champions League as a whole, where they sit in terms of favorites to lift the Trevor there.

Obviously, the holders you put one of the frame is one of the teams to beat on.

Does it change based on what you've seen tonight?

Um, I think, of course, they're the ones to be in terms of the current champions and never see unstoppable in the Premier League in a moment.

But the problem of the Champions League this stage, everyone's good enough to be each other.

Andi only take something like this today or tonight, that an early goal than most teams can hold out, and they know the game well enough that they can slow the game down, they can get the odd injury.

They can take bit time of throw ins, and it's certainly harder toe to get through, because then their knowledge of the game is it is always a Level 10.

So off thing is gonna be tough for him to repeat.

Repeat the Champions League, but for me, there's still the ones to bait.
