Jimbo, James Horncastle and Julien Laurens are back and they’ve got some new friends as the season kicks off across the continent.

Kylian Mbappe helped Real Madrid to the Super Cup on his debut. Will he help Real retain the La Liga title? Pol Ballus joins us from Spain.

Leverkusen shocked Europe last season. Now it’s Vincent Kompany’s Bayern that are looking to catch them. Seb Stafford-Bloor has more from Germany.

And Roberto De Zerbi is the biggest arrival in France. Can he inspire Marseille and will we have an actual title race in Ligue 1 this season?
