This is the Guardian.

Hi everybody, it's Max here just to say that the sad news about Walter Smith's passing

happened after we'd finished recording the pod. So we obviously send our best to his family

and his friends and we will pay tribute to him properly on Thursday's pod. Cheers.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly Euro pod. It is an L-classico without

messy Ronaldo or Rammus. More of an L-not-quite-as-classico as Ray L-Edge out

Barser. Ray L-Sosiedad lead the way despite losing a two-go lead to Athlety. How nice to see

David Silver running around being great. In Italy goals are both in for Zlatan as Milan beat

9 man Belonia. They're joint top with Napoli who's 100% record is held up by Roma both managers

sent off. Joe's they seem to take it quite well to be honest. You may get a late penalty to draw

with Inter. In Germany, Archie's here to talk about Bayern being really good,

Bellingham being really good, and Stefan Baumgart's flat cap. And we've sent Barry to his

Belongery to report on all manner of crowd disturbances in France. All that plus your questions

and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

From the panel today, Sid Lowe, hello Sid. Good morning Max. Nice to see you. You're just here

for part one because you're just too busy. I've got to go down to Valleca some fortunately.

Okay, what's what happens in Valleca's? That's where Rai-Rai kind of playing Barcelona

this morning. Oh, okay. Nikki Bantini, hello.

Morning, how are you? I'm very well. Thank you and hello to your dog or Sid's dog or

I don't know. Sorry about that. That was a stellar.

Okay, hello, a stellar. Archie, Rintak, welcome. Hello.

Hello. And Barry Glendenning, how are you?
