Matchday 8 of the Champions League delivered chaos, and Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola are here to break it all down! Just months after being cast aside, Weston McKennie captained Juventus (04:02), while Gio Reyna made the most of his minutes in an audition for Borussia Dortmund's new boss Niko Kovač (09:10). And then there’s Ricardo Pepi, who had a goal and an assist against Liverpool—but is his Nations League status in jeopardy due to a knee injury (15:23)? If El Tren is out, who leads the USMNT attack?

Meanwhile, with AC Milan gearing up for the Derby della Madonnina, the guys discuss Yunus Musah’s red card (28:29), Christian Pulisic’s form (33:31), and reports linking the Rossoneri to Mexico’s Santiago Giménez (36:51). Can Tony look past the USMNT vs. Mexico rivalry?!

Plus, with Chicago Fire set to cash in on Jhon Durán’s sell-on fee, the guys discuss what the Colombian's path says about MLS development (43:21). And finally—which MLS legends deserve a statue (55:21)?
