The opening weekend of the season was jam-packed full of storylines and I tried to separate reality from overreaction. Amongst the topics of discussion were Pogba & Greenwood's role in United's title chase, Dortmund's odds of winning domestic (or continental silverware) and the importance of Ancelotti and Koeman in deciding Barca and Madrid's fate.   

Plus, Tigres' slow start under Miguel Herrera, Boca Juniors' latest flat performance, and the traveling circus that is Arsenal stopping off in Brentford.
