Paul breaks down this week’s hot topics including, the award ceremony including Rodri winning the Ballon D’Or, Mario Balotelli signing with Genoa and making a return to professional soccer, MLS playoffs heating up, Liverpool off to a hot start on the road and Manchester United finally sacking Erik Ten Hag after being on the hot seat for months.
