That's your boy that Michu is better than. And do you know how much Michu cost? Do you know how much Soldado cost? Do you? Do you? DO YOU?

Yes, I do.

Just checking.

Thanks for that.

GOAL - Hoffenheim 0-2 Leverkusen - Stefan Kiessling (70 mins)

Real controversy in Hoffenheim! Leverkusen striker Stefan Kiessling raises his hands to his temples after planting a free header into the Hoffenheim side-netting. He knows he should have done better.

But wait! The ball creeps through a hole in the net and is given as a goal by the referee. Unbelievable. Hoffenheim are understandably going nuts, but the referee is unrepentant. Think a disciplinary will be heading your way, ref. That is a shocker.

No matter how much the Bundesliga resists it, they will eventually join us with goal line technology, no doubt.

[METALMAN]

Adding goal line technology takes a little bit of fun out of the game.

My thoughts exactly

[Lineker]

I disagree!

Elsewhere, in Spain, Barca have lost their 100% record, drawing 0-0 with Osasuna. Wonder when they last failed to score in a game, or were involved in a 0-0, for that matter.

[Baddar]

It was going to happen Osasuna rather than later.

[Colly]

Atletico lost theirs too.
