This week on VAR You Serious, we start with Spain’s latest statement on the world stage as their women’s national team defeats Germany in front of 56,000 fans to retain the Nations League title. We break down how Spain have built the most dominant dynasty in modern women’s football and whether anyone is close to challenging them.

For Underdogs of the Week, Dylan highlights Monaco’s incredible win over PSG with ten men, while Mike looks at Leeds’ impressive 3–1 victory over Chelsea where they dominated xG and created the better chances throughout the match.

In our Rank That segment, we compare Scott McTominay and Mikel Merino over the last two years using pure production and impact to decide who has been the better all-around midfielder.

Our VAR You Serious Moment of the Week dives into the growing conflict between international and club football calendars. With leagues warning that the schedule is becoming unmanageable and players facing more matches than ever, we discuss whether the sport is approaching a breaking point and what real solutions might look like.

We finish with Parting Shots, tackling quick-fire questions including whether Aston Villa are in the title race, who wins MLS Cup between Miami and Vancouver, if Manchester United can finish top five, whether PSG will win Ligue 1, and if Como can actually qualify for the Champions League.

All the debate, breakdowns and father-son banter you expect, packed into under 45 minutes.
