They are joined by European expert Andy Brassell for a deep dive into the weekend’s continental action, analysing the key storylines as Bayern Munich face Mainz and Barcelona square off against Atletico Madrid.
The guest list kicks off with JLS star JB Gill and his son, Ace Gill, who is currently a standout footballing prospect in the Tottenham Hotspur Academy at just 10 years old. They discuss the balance between life in the spotlight and the dedication required in a top-flight youth system, as well as their shared passion for the game.
