Christian Pulisic is struggling for time at Chelsea, and Craig Burley says the reason why is simple.
Christian Pulisic has said it hurt to be left out of the squad for Chelsea’s Champions League win over Lille, but he won’t “give up, ever” after being given limited playing time this season.

Plenty of dramatic finishes across the UEFA Champions League with Bayern Munich’s 7-2 rout of Tottenham the biggest result from Matchday 2.

Craig Burley says Mauricio Pochettino got his tactics wrong and should shoulder the blame for Tottenham’s record-setting defeat against Bayern.

Craig Burley explains why it was so important for Chelsea’s young core to get a victory at Lille.

Ale Moreno assesses whether in-form Robert Lewandowski is valued as much as he should be at Bayern.

Bayern’s Serge Gnabry leads the way in our XI.
With the second set of Champions League group stage games finished, we look at who stood out from this week’s performances.
GK: Andre Onana (Ajax)
Among all the deserved plaudits that Ajax’s players received in their run to the semifinals last season, it felt like goalkeeper Andre Onana got lost in the shuffle.
