Manchester City and PSG put on a show in the Champions League last night, but their situations off the pitch are very different.

Kate Mason is joined by Adam Crafton, Jacob Whitehead and former England international Rob Green to explain. Plus, Matt Slater joins down the line from Zurich where Gianni Infantino is making his first public FIFA appearance since the World Cup.
