Can Newcastle upset PSG again and can Leverkusen be stopped?

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo look ahead to Matchday 5 in the Champions League with destinies set to be decided.

The Magpies head to Paris looking to replicate their 4-1 win earlier in the campaign. But can Milan stop wasting chances and beat Dortmund, even without their new 15-year-old prodigy?

It’s a big week for Barcelona, starting with a clash with Porto in Catalunya. What has happened to Robert Lewandowski?

Bayern’s new number 9 keeps scoring but it’s still Leverkusen who are top of the Bundesliga after the best start ever. And the top two of Juventus and Inter cannot be separated in the Derby d’Italia.

Plus Troyes, happy birthdays and Nike adverts.
