Summary

John Bennett is joined by Guillem Balague, James Horncastle and Rafa Honigstein.

They discuss the change of mood in Germany after a much-needed upturn in form for the national team.

They wonder whether we have we seen a glimpse of the future in Spain with Endrick and Lamine Yamal on the same pitch for the first time at the Bernabeu on Tuesday – but also ask when the culture in Spain will change after Vinicius Jr said he feels “less and less” like playing after the racist abuse he has suffered.

They also ask whether Italy have finally found a number nine and if England will actually win Euro 2024.
