Jimbo’s got James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Julien Laurens and Pol Ballús alongside him to recap the latest action from across the continent.
Serie A saw goals AND penalty saves aplenty - with David de Gea snatching the headlines in Fiorentina’s victory over Milan while Marcus Thuram and Mateo Retegui both bagging hat-tricks in big wins for Inter and Torino.
Speaking of hat-tricks, Robert Lewandowski rolled back the years as he scored three of his own as Barcelona cruised to victory against Alaves. They’ve got a three-point advantage over Real Madrid - who are battling injury and personnel issues but won against an impressive Villarreal side. Oh, and Paulo Gazzaniga managed a remarkable feat between the sticks…
In Germany there was late drama at Deutsche Bank Park as Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich drew 3-3, while Bayer Leverkusen let a two-goal lead slip as Holstein Kiel came from behind to earn an unlikely point.
PSG’s difficult week continued as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Nice - leaving Monaco clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table after their 2-1 win at Rennes. Elsewhere Lille backed up their Real Madrid Champions League triumph by beating Toulouse 2-1.

Man City and Arsenal survive scares to win again, with Saka and Havertz in especially spectacular form right now.

Wolves stay bottom after their 5-3 defeat at Brentford as the fans turn on the manager and the owners.

The top two for the last two seasons meet at the Etihad on Sunday. Can the best defence in decades stifle Man City again? David Mooney from the Blue Moon podcast joins us.

How do we feel about the new Champions League format? Will we see more hidings the like of which Bayern and Celtic handed out this week? And how much longer does Paulo Fonseca have at Milan?

The Carabao Cup 3rd round gives us plenty to chew on. The longest penalty shootout ever, the exact opposite and the feeling that Ange’s Spurs might not know what they’re doing anymore.

We salute Salvatore Schillaci, the player who embodies Italia 90 more than anybody, who sadly passed away this week.
