Jimbo’s got Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús & James Horncastle along for the usual European fun and games with MD6 in the Champions League on the horizon.

We begin with the increasingly loud rumblings of discontent in Madrid - as Xabi Alonso’s Real were stunned in a 2-0 defeat by Celta Vigo on Sunday night. How disastrous could it be for the Los Blancos boss if they were to be beaten by Pep’s City on Wednesday night?

In Italy, it was an unhappy return to Naples for Luciano Spalletti as his Juve side were beaten 2-1 by Napoli. Elsewhere, Inter put four past a Como side which had been unbeaten in 11 Serie A games. Next up for Cristian Chivu’s side? Liverpool in an even deeper Mo Salah induced crisis.

There may be no Jules but we’ve got a quick look at how things panned out in Ligue 1 over the weekend, with Lens still top, PSG putting five past Rennes and Marseille falling off the pace after their defeat at Lille. How will Luis Enrique’s men fare in their midweek trip to Bilbao to take on Athletic Club?

And over in the Bundesliga, Leipzig’s Yan Diomande stole the show with a hat-trick in their 6-0 demolition of Frankfurt on Saturday. Plus - the extraordinary tale of the Vušković brothers at Hamburg.
