It's Colm Boohig, Enda Coll, Dara Smith-Naughton & Matthew Brennan for some pure reaction after Como smashed Manchester United 4-1 - and the big question is simple: where do they go from here?

We get into whether Michael Carrick is finished, what happens next with Bournemouth (and a brutal run of fixtures), and why it feels like changing the manager is just kicking the can down the road...

Bruno Fernandes’ post-match comments take centre stage, with talk of “half-pressing”, players going rogue, and a dressing room that sounds toxic from top to bottom.

Is there any fix without ripping up the squad, and the culture... all over again?

Fresh off another rainbow jersey, Lara Gillespie joins Off The Ball Breakfast live from a stormy Wicklow after winning the 25km points race at the UCI World Track Championships in Shanghai.

She breaks down the tactics behind the win: sprint maths, lap gains, when to take risks, and the brutal training sessions behind that “hands in the air” finish.

Lara also reflects on the frustration of settling for silver in the scratch race, the confidence that comes with being world champ again, and why getting home to family, mountains, sea and simple routines is key for her mindset.

Colm Boohig, Enda Coll, Meghann Scully & Matthew Brennan bring you ALL of the latest from the world of sport, and there’s only one place to start: a Champions League night that was absolute chaos in the best way possible.

They relive PSG 4-2 Barcelona, from the ridiculous high line to Lamine Yamal’s outrageous finish, and ask if this is the standard we should expect from top-level football. Plus: Liverpool’s latest rollercoaster, City hitting five, and what’s on the menu tonight – including Bayern vs Arsenal and storm fears around Manchester United’s trip.

In the LOI, they debate which of Friday’s huge games deserves the TV slot, and they reflect on Mark Allen’s incredibly raw interview.
