On The Continent: Inside Number Nine

About this episode

Dotun, Andy and Nicky Bandini rule over some more Europa Mopers after the Champions League claimed its biggest victims so far. Barcelona, Juventus and Atlético Madrid are now officially out, so we assess the states of play at three wobbling giants.


Elsewhere, as Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting makes his mark at Bayern, we discuss how Europe’s top clubs are looking to frontmen of all shapes and sizes to spearhead various continental crusades.
