The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic

The Euro crew of Jimbo, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo assemble after another dramatic weekend across the continent. Real Madrid, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid all come from 2-0 down to salvage something in La Liga. But can Ousmane Dembele salvage his career after Barca tell him he’s no longer welcome at Camp Nou? There’s a top of the table clash in the Netherlands as leaders PSV took on the inexplicably not leaders Ajax. Yordi Yamali has more. Lionel Messi returns for PSG but it’s Marco Verratti who turns goalscorer supreme in their 4-0 win over Reims. And why won’t Poch play the kids? Thiago Motta is earning his managerial stripes as Spezia go from strength to strength in Serie A. And Super Mario Balotelli is back with the Azzurri.
