Summary
We’re underway in Spain and Germany, with Italy soon to follow. Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo have your back on all things continental.
Dortmund come flying out the blocks in the Bundesliga with Erling Haaland stealing the show on matchweek 1. Is he the new R9?
Pique is the hero on and off the pitch for Barcelona as Memphis channels Ronaldinho in La Liga.
Looking ahead to the start of the Serie A season, will there be a big 7? And can Mourinho rediscover his mojo?
In France, Messi is unveiled and Galtier hammers the champions on his return to Lille. But who got a 1/10 in L’Equipe?
And we pay tribute to the great Gerd Muller. Scorer, singer, weaver.
