About this episode

If you’re craving European football insight, then look no further – Dotun Adebayo, Andy Brassell and ESPN’s David Cartlidge are here with a brand new episode of On The Continent!


After last night’s 3-2 loss in the German Super Cup left a strange sense of déjà vu for Dortmund, we wonder what they can do to help them step up to the next level. Should they invest some money in a more high profile coach? We also recap a crazy week for Inter, praise some imperious performances from Atleti youngster João Félix and tip our hats to Fiorentina’s age-defying pass master, Franck Ribéry.
