Summary
Guillem Balague, Raphael Honigstein and James Horncastle join Steve Crossman to react to the news that UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin will not seek re-election for a fourth term despite UEFA members voting to change its rules to allow him to do so.
They assess Ceferin’s legacy as the head of European football’s governing body, seeing off the attempted formation of a breakaway 'super league', and discuss whether that’s really still the biggest threat facing UEFA.
Plus with two huge games at the weekend for the title races in Spain and Germany we look ahead to Real Madrid against Girona and Bayern Munich’s trip to face Bayer Leverkusen, and look at where Inter Milan’s win against Juventus last week leaves the Serie A title race.
