Lionel Messi makes his debut for PSG but will Kylian Mbappe stay on as his team-mate? Will Real Madrid make a dramatic move on deadline day?
It’s a nightmare beginning to life after Ronaldo for Juventus but Roma fans are all aboard on the Mou train.
Van Bommel’s boys top the Bundesliga. A bad week for Leipzig who lose the match and lose Marcel Sabitzer to Bayern.
