Maybe at the end if we win the Premier League 10 points in front and 10 fixtures from the end he'll take a rest. Now he feels fit, he feels fine. The Champions League is massively important. We are in a position right now where the games we've played so far and the next two games at home will give us a really, really big chance to finish in the first eight.

Napoli's title defense has been far from smooth. After starting the season with three wins in their first four matches, Antonio Conte's side have stumbled badly, losing two of their last three league games. Their most recent Serie A outing-a 1-0 defeat to Torino-was a frustrating affair, with Napoli struggling to create clear chances and looking vulnerable on the counter.

You're too much.

When TNT selected Brentford vs Liverpool, they may well have had designs on moving it to a 12:30pm kick-off. However, FIFA agreed with player unions this summer that players would receive at least a 72-hour rest period between kick-offs. While that was no issue for Brentford, Liverpool's Champions League commitments have forced the game to be played no earlier than 8pm on Saturday evening That's because Arne Slot's side visited Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League on Wednesday evening.

"I'm so happy with this first Champions League goal," Estêvão told TNT Sport. "I'm so happy, there's no other way to describe it. I dreamed about this moment for a long time, and thank God it's here. I feel so fulfilled and happy. When I found out that I would be playing [from the start], I didn't even sleep in the afternoon. I usually sleep in the afternoon to be in good shape, but the anxiety got the best of me and I couldn't even sleep. I'm thrilled to be playing for Chelsea, having opportunities, knowing that the coach trusts me, I'm very happy."

Hugo had a big chance and scored. Alex got a few, unfortunately, he didn't score yet, but he had to go off at half-time because he felt his groin a little bit. That's a pity. I've said many times, it's such a difficult balance to find with a player who missed three months. You bring him slowly, people sometimes argue with you, why you cannot play him longer or more often.

Two games are already underway and halfway through. Athletic Bilbao are one-all with Qarabag, while Galatasaray are 2-0 up against Bodo/Glimt thanks to a Victor Osimhen brace. The second was comical, with Osimhen getting in the way of a backpass to set up a simple one-on-one with the keeper. Share GOALS! REDS! PENS! Tuesday night was hectic in the Champions League, with 43 (!) goals across nine games (Yara deserves a raise).
