Walker can acknowledge it all he wants, but City's 114 charges aren't going away because players kept their heads down. • Bayern and Arsenal both played like they'd rather be anywhere else, which tracks for a midweek Champions League dead rubber. • Kargbo's back from the dead, which is fine, but Blackburn need him to actually change something rather than just exist on the bench. • PSG reminded Barcelona that even a good season means nothing when you run into a team that wants it more, especially in Paris. • Brighton are heavy favorites and shouldn't need to sweat a Conference League opener against a mid-table Czech side, so expect them to do exactly that.
