Watched The Last Yugoslavian Football Team (filmed around the Yugoslavia-Croatia Euro 2000 qualifiers) on the way to & from the Emirates on Sunday. Like stepping into a Kapadia film.

A genuinely astonishing stat
Only the fourth ever hat-trick in this fixture, after Ted Drake (Arsenal, October 1934), Terry Dyson (Spurs, August 1961) and Alan Sunderland (Arsenal, December 1978) according to Opta.
Seems mad, but suppose it's always been a game between two teams relatively close to each other - unlike today.

When Arsenal signed Eze, my gut feeling was “ooooh… he could be THE one, you know.”
Thought Arsenal were impossible to play against today & then there was Eze when they had the ball. Such brilliant feet for all three goals. Chapeau! #ARSTOT

Too many hard-luck stories in so many of their games this season (Galatasaray pen, United head injury etc). Ultimately the not-great teams leave themselves open to those margins and that's where Liverpool are.

Games against City really do show where Liverpool are in a given season. If they are off it, they take a hammering. City do not let them off. #MCILIV

Above Napoli. Above Juventus.
It is an historic night for Cypriot side Pafos.
They earned their first-ever win in the Champions League, beating Villarreal in Kolossi thanks to Derrick Luckassen’s header from Ken Sema’s corner.

Liverpool just did.

A huge win for Arne Slot's side, with Manchester City next on Sunday.

I can’t be the only person, who winces every time the “Swiss model” is mentioned. Anyone who’s ever played chess knows that the model that’s used in the Champions League really isn’t very “Swiss” at all.
The man who says he invented the Champions League’s new format - what he calls the “pots” format but has become known as the “Swiss model” - is suing UEFA for €20m because he claims they stole it. UEFA denies it but it’s been that kind of week for the governing body.
