Champions League bonanza, Bayern’s first loss + Mbappe’s Panenka

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Pol Ballus, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Tom Williams to discuss the latest European football.

The Champions League reaches its final game showdown with all 36 teams playing simultaneously on Wednesday night. Might all 6 English teams make the top 8? If so, will Barcelona and Inter face the play offs? Could Conte's Napoli be heading out? Could Bodø/Glimt, Brugge or Mourinho's Benfica sneak in?

Bayern finally lose their first match of the Bundesliga season at home to Augsburg, whilst Dortmund beat Union convincingly ahead of their showdown with Inter. It was a perfect weekend for Chivu's Inter who beat Pisa 6-2 whilst title rivals Napoli were thrashed 3-0 by Juve, with Roma and Milan sharing the points in the capital.

In Spain, Mbappe's Panenka helped him set a European record, and Yamal's worldie in the rain kept Barca 1 point above Real in the La Liga title race. And in France, PSG go back on top via a Bradley Barcola goal and a 1-0 win at Auxerre, with Lens losing 3-1 in the Velodrome thanks to a debut goal from Arsenal's teenage loanee Ethan Nwaneri.
