Yes guys! Welcome to Rio Reacts, delivered by Just Eat and Pepsi Max, where I give you my raw and unfiltered reaction to the biggest talking points from Europe’s biggest stage. Joined by my good mate and the voice of football, Darren Fletcher, we dive deep into the heart of the Champions League. In this episode, we dissect the intense atmosphere of PSG vs. Liverpool, exploring the pressure cooker environment and how it compares to my playing days. Was Liverpool lucky to escape with a result? We break down key moments, including a controversial potential red card and a game-changing substitution from Arne Slot. Arsenal's historic 7-1 away victory. Can they win the Champions League? We discuss their potential path to the final and the remarkable achievement of scoring seven goals away from home in a knockout tie. Plus, we celebrate the rise of young talents like Ethan Nwaneri and debate his future potential, comparing him to other young stars making waves in the competition. Finally, we round up the strongest contenders for the Champions League title after the first leg. Fan’s Edition Delivered by Just Eat & Pepsi Max: It’s time for you to get involved!
