With the World Cup now firmly left behind us (very much so in the case of Italy), international sides across Europe are turning to youth to power their next generation. That’s certainly the case for Roberto Mancini and his Italy side, which has an average age of just 24. How excited should we be about their young blood?
Nicky Bandini joins Dotun and Andy to discuss that. Plus, Portugal begin life without Cristiano Ronaldo, but who is going to shine in his place? And it’s the Netherlands vs Greece on Friday evening. Who will come out on top in a battle between the two developing sides?

Just nine months ago, Max Allegri and Cesc Fàbregas clashed on the touchline when AC Milan faced Como. Fast forward, and Fàbregas has just led his team to a 9-1 win over Lens, while Allegri has suffered a 4-1 defeat to Porto. How has the experienced manager got it so wrong, and the 'child' got it so right?
Kevin Hatchard joins Dotun & Andy to discuss that. Also, what is JJ Gabriel's ceiling? What's going wrong for Iñigo Pérez at Villarreal? And have Marseille finally turned a corner with Bruno Génésio?

Fenerbahçe came from behind twice to beat Liverpool in a memorable Champions League night, but how significant is this result? Can the Turkish giants re-establish themselves among Europe's elite under Emre Belözoğlu?
Kevin Hatchard joins Dotun and Andy to assess. Elsewhere, Bayern Munich gave Atletico Madrid a bloody nose, while Inter recovered from their bruising derby defeat with a win over Feyenoord. Speaking of wounds, Lyon were left licking theirs after Paulo Fonseca announced his resignation, but is this actually the best outcome for all parties?

And finally, we check in on Project Amorim at Milan after their midweek defeat to Bologna. Are there any signs that he can bring them back to their former glory?

After a fresh round of enticing Europa League and Conference League ties, we wanted to bring you all the latest – and when both Lyon and Marseille are involved, who better than Andy and Jonathan Johnson to guide you through it?
Andy joins JJ from Lyon after watching them conquer Crystal Palace last night in a game that was just Lyon all over. But did this show an exciting future for their frontline? Meanwhile, why is Marseille's manager Bruno Génésio all but abandoning European football, just like he did at Lille? And Ruben Amorim might have a new star on his hands after 19-year-old Alphadjo Cisse scored a hat-trick at Salzburg.

José Mourinho received a hero's welcome on his return to the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night. In the end, and after a few twists and turns, it was his Real Madrid side who came away victorious. Is there still a touch of the José about Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma?
Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun and Andy to debate that. Plus, it was a disastrous night for Fenerbahçe as they sunk to a 6-0 away defeat at Villa Park. Andy was at the game and gives his thoughts on İsmail Kartal's aging squad. And it's been a brilliant week in Europe for Norwegian sides Viking and Bodø/Glimt. Who better than Lars to give us the lowdown?

The footballing gods do have a funny way of throwing up some intriguing fixtures at the perfect time. Abu Dhabi's Manchester City vs Qatar's PSG in City's first home game after being found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial rules is certainly one of those.
Miguel Delaney joins Andy to take a deep dive into the complicated ownerships of both clubs, and what City's sanctions might mean for European football going forwards.

Dotun and Andy are joined by David Cartlidge to get their heads around this confusing mismatch. Elsewhere, Troy Parrott’s release clause at Real Betis, the cost of the international break for Dortmund, and a mercifully simple explanation of what's going on with Dani Carvajal’s doomed move to Getafe.

Cristiano Ronaldo managed to outlast every Portugal manager until Jorge Jesus came along. His dramatic exit, followed by a mind-blowing statement, makes it look like Ronaldo has played straight into Jesus’ hands. Has it cost him any chance of a fond farewell like his lifelong rival, Lionel Messi? And why are Portugal actually better for his exit?
Dotun and Andy are joined by David Cartlidge to dig through the rubble of a fiery few days in the Portugal camp. Plus, will Kylian Mbappé ever truly fit the mould of a Real Madrid superstar? And what do new deals for both Harry Kane and Raphinha tell us about their importance - on and off the pitch - at Bayern Munich and Barcelona?

Kevin Hatchard joins Andy to discuss that. Plus, Jorge Jesus keeps Cristiano Ronaldo in the fold for his first game in charge, but only for 67 minutes. And Erling Haaland's brace helps Norway to victory over near neighbours Denmark.

There's something of the Kevin Keegan about Hansi Flick's Barcelona. 33 goals scored in their opening seven games of the season. Yes, you heard that right. Thirty-three! Their goalscoring exploits are without doubt the best in Europe, but their ability to keep the ball out of the net? Well, that's a different question...
Tom Allnutt makes his OTC debut alongside Dotun and Andy to take a look at Barcelona's entertainers. Plus, it's a winning start for Sunderland in the Europa League, but will this be the year that English dominance of the competition comes to an end? And it's all-out chaos at Marseille as OM start the season in atrocious fashion. What has happened to that once great European giant?

Plus, despite the romance of the Elversberg story, does the Bundesliga need more of the traditional big clubs to return to their former glory?

Thursday night Champions League fixtures do still feel a little bit weird, and that weirdness was matched on and off the pitch last night. After Fenerbahçe's 1-1 draw with Roma, their manager İsmail Kartal announced his resignation in the post-match press conference. Unfortunately for left-back Archie Brown, nobody gave him a heads up.
Lars Sivertsen joins Andy to dissect Thursday night's action, including Bayern Munich's demolition of Bodø/Glimt. We all know they're good, but will they finally make that count in this season's competition?

Ladies and gentlemen, the Champions League is back! Unfortunately for Napoli though, their opening night defeat to Arsenal makes it three losses on the bounce for Max Allegri. At a club as unforgiving as Aurelio De Laurentiis' Napoli, might he already be nearing an exit?
Miguel Delaney joins Dotun and Andy from Naples to give us the lowdown. Plus, José Mourinho gets his first Champions League win back at Real Madrid, but their performance left us with more questions than answers. And it's a European breakthrough for Ireland and Real Betis' Troy Parrott. A flash in the pan or the start of something great?

our years without lifting the scudetto is far too long for a storied club like Milan, but six years for Juventus really does take the biscuit. Now, with the table reset, a summer transfer window finished, and fresh faces through the door, can we expect something more from these two giants of the Italian game who have been down on their luck for the last half-decade?
Nicky Bandini joins Andy to break down their 1-1 draw at the Allianz Stadium, and also a thriller between champions Inter and potential challengers Napoli. Can anybody stop Cristian Chivu's side this season?

Rafael Leão has been the first name on AC Milan's team sheet since the early 2020s, but there’s always been a feeling that he hasn’t reached the heights many predicted for him. Will his move to Galatasaray change that?
Lars joins Andy and Dotun to discuss. Also, what will Ibrahim Mbaye offer Aston Villa? Why did Folarin Balogun's move to Everton fall through? And to round off our look at deadline day, which player desperately needed a move away, but didn't get one?

It was a deadline day of decisions for young Malick Fofana who ate breakfast thinking he was going to Arsenal, sipped his French onion soup at lunchtime eyeing up a move to Crystal Palace, but ended up having dinner in Sunderland.
Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun and Andy to detail the extraordinary story of Fofana's move to the Black Cats. Plus, is Borussia Dortmund the right move for Ethan Nwaneri? How long will José Mourinho's honeymoon at Real Madrid last? And how far can the Norwegian sides go in this season's Champions League?

Liverpool have finally got their man - but do they actually need him?

It's never exactly a hot take to suggest Bayern Munich might come away as Bundesliga champions, and that's very much the case for this season once again. With Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen both in transition, might this be the season where Vincent Kompany's side surpass even the lofty heights of Pep Guardiola's time at the club?
Kevin Hatchard makes his debut on the show to discuss that prospect. Plus, Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala link up three times to lead Roma to a 4-0 thrashing of Fiorentina. Can Dybalen, as some are calling them, take them to Scudetto contention? Plus, Fenerbahçe reach the Champions League for the first time in nearly two decades. Just how significant is that for the Süper Lig?

While the so-called 'traditional curtain-raiser' may not get much respect in England, in Germany it carries much more weight. This season, the German Supercup was a trophy that both Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund wanted to win. So clearly, this wasn't one Andy could possibly miss.
He spent the weekend in Dortmund to watch Niko Kovač's BVB take on Vincent Kompany's double-winners.
