Man City stunned by Al-Hilal, plus more ...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

It’s Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Adrian Clarke after a jam-packed weekend of summer football.


Shocks aplenty in the last 16 of the Club World Cup with Inter knocked out by Fluminense and holders Manchester City beaten 4-3 by Al-Hilal. We hail the impact of Inzaghi and ask if there’s a blueprint on how to beat City.


Chelsea are now flying the flag for England and have added Joao Pedro to their ranks. But it’s the weather that dominates discussion over their victory against Benfica.


England Under 21s retain the Euros, beating Germany in the final, as Lee Carsley continues to build his legacy and reputation.


Will the Lionesses follow suit? The big-kick off in the Women’s Euros is upon us. Michael Cox gives us the lowdown on whether Sarina’s side can retain their trophy.


Plus Keith Andrews at Brentford and cameras on the pitch.


Produced by Charlie Jones.
