Summary
Jimbo and the Euro crew are back after a weekend of moving and manoeuvring across the continent.
Joao Felix is on his way from Atletico Madrid to Chelsea. Have the Blues struck gold or is this the latest error in a case study in how not to help a manager?
Barcelona go 3 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga but are we looking at a two horse race with weak horses?
Didier Deschamps is staying as France manager but it’s the disrespecting of Zinedine Zidane by the head of the FFF that’s causing the biggest stir. Plus the Coupe De France brings shocks, sackings and the greatest talent of his generation…
James Horncastle sifts through all the apex height stats to round up Serie A as the top two - Napoli and Juventus - prepare to clash on Friday.
And we pick out our favourite memories from the career of the recently retired Gareth Bale.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
