Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe both fail to convert from the penalty spot, but goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo end Liverpool's losing run against Real Madrid.
Spoke to half of Cardiff for this piece. Bleak times, but great to hear the thoughts of an impassioned, intelligent scene about what we can do next.

Hiya Bluesky. Think I’d better share some recent work. Really dug this from Poppy - post-everything heaviness that’s suprisingly accessible.
