Summary
The Euro crew of Jimbo, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein convene to assess another dramatic weekend.
Napoli make it 13 wins in a row while Inter also turn on the style. But the ultras at San Siro enforce a walk-out among the fans whether they like it or not, a reminder of their power.
There’s more 99th minute misery for Atletico in La Liga as we ask just how much of this decline is on Diego Simeone?
There’s a 97th minute winner from Union Berlin to stay top of the Bundesliga and another stellar display from Lionel Messi in Ligue 1 with Phil Neville sniffing around.
Plus Felix, Focaccina and a final in France for Spurs.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
