Liverpool and Chelsea suffer penalty problems in Champions League defeats

Liverpool lose to Napoli and Chelsea suffer defeat to Valencia in the Champions League

Kelly Cates is joined by former Chelsea goalkeeper Rob Green, former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock and Âé¶¹Éç football correspondent John Murray to analyse Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat at Napoli in their opening Champions League group game.

The team discuss whether VAR should have overturned the penalty awarded to Napoli’s Jose Callejon and why Liverpool are once again struggling away from home in the Champions League.

Âé¶¹Éç commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball joins the pod from Stamford Bridge where there was more penalty drama in Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to Valencia – but this time the debate was over who took the penalty – which Ross Barkley missed.

We also look ahead to another huge night of Champions League football as we have two live commentaries on Wednesday on 5live Sport.

Former Manchester midfielder Michael Brown and Âé¶¹Éç senior football reporter Ian Dennis are in Ukraine ahead of Manchester City’s match with Shakhtar Donetsk and talk about how John Stones’ injury has left Pep Guardiola looking visibly frustrated.

Tottenham are away at Olympiacos – so we check in with former West Ham defender Matthew Upson - who is part of our commentary team in Athens – on whether Tottenham can go one better than last season and win the Champions League.
