Football Weekly Extra: Close but no cigars for Chelsea and City in the Champions League

So much for those boring Champions League group stages, eh?

In today's Football Weekly Extraaaaaah, AC Jimbo has Rob Smyth, Paul MacInnes and Jonathan Wilson in the pod to marvel at some truly liquid football. Ronaldo's last-gasp winner against City – woof! Oscar's screamer against Juventus – double woof! PSG's Zlatan Ibrahimovic becoming the first player to score for six teams in the competition – legend woof!

Next, we look forward to all the weekend's action in the Premier League. Can Brendan Rodgers finally get his first win under his belt as Liverpool host Manchester United? Can City bounce back from their Madrid heartbreak to beat in-form Arsenal? And where will West Ham-Sunderland appear on the Match of the Day running order?

Jimbo's away in Los Angeles with his musclebound friends at the World's Strongest Man competition, so Max Rushden is in the presenter's chair for the next three shows. He's got Sean Ingle, Amy Lawrence and Philippe Auclair with him – so make sure you join us too.
