Summary

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Duncan Alexander, Carl Anka and Benji Lanyado in a stacked Totally Football Show.

Trent Alexander-Arnold debuts for Real Madrid at the Club World Cup but Al-Hilal stun Los Blancos with a 1-1 draw. Has everyone been sleeping on Simone Inzaghi’s side?

Man City get off to a winning start against Wydad, as we look at new-look City and ask whether they’ve fixed some of their issues from last season. Or this season.

In the other big cup competition, Benji takes on Julien Laurens in the opening match of the 2025 Inter Totally Cup!

Plus Man United’s tough start and Juventus at the White House.
