Kylian Mbappe was the star of the week and, as such, the show. His brilliance has Barça on their knees and inspired Erling Haaland to take his game to a different level in a moment of need for Borussia Dortmund. We discuss all of those Champions League stories plus the relative impotence of Juventus in the big moment as well as a Manchester City side that are anything but. 

We also discuss the weekend ahead with a particular focus on Inter Milan's massive derby match agains Milan and Internacional's potential title decider at the Maracana with Flamengo. We preview both matches and wonder who will take control of the tempo in the biggest Brazilian clash for some time. We also discuss Cruz Azul's rapid progression under Juan Reynoso and discuss a variety of managerial positions around the globe that could come open in the next few months including Barcelona, Lyon, RB Leipzig, Crystal Palace, Santos, Napoli and many others.
