Summary

Part one of this month's Q & A show is all about Barcelona - how is Xavi's principled project being reshaped by the reality of the situation at Camp Nou? Which of his signings have surprised Graham and Pete? What are their chances of a top-four finish or a pathway to the final of the Europa League?


All this and a little look back at the latest evidence that Kylian Mbappé is a very, very good footballer.
