Summary
Jimbo is joined by Raphael Honigstein, Tom Williams and Jay Harris after witnessing the biggest win ever on opening night of the Euros.
Hosts Germany tear apart the Tartan Army with a 5-1 victory in Munich. Can Musiala and Wirtz lead the Germans to something special? Or might Scotland be the worst team at the tournament.
Saturday’s action brings back memories of a Euros classic as Spain take on Croatia. Juraj Vrdoljak tells us about what has become a derby match in Europe.
And also in Group B, holders Italy hope to channel the spirit of Grosso as they head to Dortmund to take on Albania.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
Theme music by JJ Bull.
