The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
It’s another huge week across the continent, and Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romero have you covered.
Bayern Munich are beaten for the 3rd game in a row, this time by Bochum as they slip 8 points behind leaders Leverkusen. What’s happened to Harry Kane and what will happen to Thomas Tuchel if they lose again to Leipzig?
Napoli are set to make another managerial switch ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona. Has this been one of the most shambolic seasons in football history from the Italian champions? And are Barca in a worse state than they are?
Elsewhere the panel get excited about Inter v Atletico and the forthcoming Europa and Conference League action.
Plus Mbappe’s going to Real Madrid, Gattuso leaves Marseille and the fastest goal in Austrian Bundesliga history.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
