About this episode

Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús, Julien Laurens and James Horncastle (at the airport!) are alongside Jimbo for your latest dose of intriguing European fare from across the continent. 


In Serie A, Juventus and Milan played out a goalless draw, allowing Napoli to take advantage and take back top spot after their come from behind 2-1 win over Genoa - courtesy of a late winner from Rasmus Hojlund no less. 


Over in La Liga, Barcelona were handed their heaviest defeat in over a decade after their shock 4-1 beating at the hands of Sevilla. Real got back to winning ways and back in first position after a Vini brace guided them to a 3-1 win over Villarreal. 


In Ligue 1, it’s awfully tight at the top after PSG were held to a 1-1 draw by Lille, with an Mbappe on the scoresheet… Marseille, Strasbourg and Lyon all sit just a point behind in what’s shaping up to be an exciting start to the season. 


And in Germany, you guessed it - Harry Kane’s broken another record! Bayern have won each of their first 10 competitive matches this season, with their number 9 becoming the first player in history to score 11 goals in the first six games of a Bundesliga season.


Produced by Lucy Oliva.
