THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Jimbo's got Michael Cox, Matt Davies-Adams and Tom Williams alongside him to look back on two incredibly dramatic semi-final clashes at Euro 2025.


It's England and Spain who progress to Sunday's final in Basel after a double dose of extra time - with the Lionesses relying on super-subs Michelle Agyemang & Chloe Kelly yet again to turn things around against Italy, while for the world champions it was the best player in the world Aitana Bonmatí who produced a moment of magic in their 1-0 victory over Germany.


We've got the latest transfer news - with Ekitike officially in at Liverpool, Gyökeres all but officially in at Arsenal - and Alexander Isak NOT joining up with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of east Asia due to injury...


Elsewhere, we mark the 25th anniversary of surely the most controversial transfer in history - when Luís Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid, on this day back in the year 2000.


And it’s the second Inter Totally semi-final with Julien Laurens and Tom Williams duking it out for a place in the final...


Produced by Lucy Oliva.
