Ajax are famed for their electric matchday atmosphere, but when their match against Groningen was abandoned after just six minutes due to a firework display, we have to ask: is this a symptom of Ajax's current situation? And what consequences should follow for those responsible?

Dotun, Andy and Jonathan Johnson deliver their verdicts. Also on the agenda, why is Ligue 1 better than ever? Could AC Milan realistically move for Jean-Philippe Mateta? And why have Strasbourg banned one of their standout strikers from playing?

Barcelona's 3-1 victory against Atlético Madrid kept them at the top of La Liga, but with Atleti missing a huge chance to close the gap on Spain's big boys, can we already write Diego Simeone's team out of the title race?

Dotun and Andy are joined by Jonathan Johnson to discuss that. Plus, Kenan Yıldız continues to be the difference-maker for Juve as he proves decisive in three back-to-back wins for the Old Lady. Is he on his way to becoming the next superstar in Turin? And finally, things aren't so nice in Nice as their players are attacked by their own supporters following a sixth straight defeat. How on earth have things got this bad?

Remember Jhon Durán, Premier League fans? He might be pulling muscles rather than exactly tearing up trees in Istanbul, but here he added to his big-game highlights reel and delivered in the 95th minute of the biggest game of all: the Intercontinental Derby.

Andy and Lars Sivertsen relive an eventful Monday night kick off, one which leaves things very tight at the top of the Süper Lig! They reflect on Galatasaray's transformed midfield, who managed to take the fire out of the game, and discuss how Domenico Tedesco has been getting things so right at Fenerbahçe after an impressive start to the season. He's certainly doing better than his predecessor...

After PSV’s decisive victory over Liverpool, we have to ask: did Arne Slot really just get taught a lesson from Peter Bosz? And what does such a commanding win mean for PSV’s European ambitions this season?

Dotun and Andy are joined by Lars to break it all down. Also on the show, what will Daniele De Rossi have to do to restore Genoa's stature? Would a strong season at a club like Strasbourg be enough to get Ben Chilwell back into England contention? What will Joan Garcia's return mean for Barcelona?

Diego Simeone's has got more weapons up his sleeve this season. He proved his firepower off the bench in Atlético’s win over Inter? But what about his mind games in the pre-match press conference? Could Simeone really be Inter manager one day, or was this just another trick in his arsenal?

Dotun, Andy and “Nautical” Lars Sivertsen ponder over that. Plus, have Bayer Leverkusen turned a corner? And should Mainz and Fiorentina prioritise domestic or European commitments?

On paper, grinding out a 1-0 victory over their city rivals was exactly what we'd expect from Max Allegri's AC Milan. But in fact, this game has really left Andy and Nicky Bandini scratching their heads...

They discuss Mike Maignan's inspired performance for Milan and just where he ranks among the world's goalkeeping elite right now. Nicky also wonders whether Milan are quite as 'vintage Allegri' as this game suggested and why Inter continue to fall short in big games, despite dominating here.

Plus, Andy and Nicky take a closer look at the Serie A title race, and why it's going to provide us with the best drama of any European league this season. Join us!

After two years of renovations - and more than a few delays - Barcelona are finally returning home to Camp Nou. But will the homecoming spark a more promising chapter under Hansi Flick? Or does the move merely mask the club's deeper financial frailties?

Andy is joined by Nicky Bandini and Lars Sivertsen to answer that question and more. Plus, if Napoli continue to drop points, who could replace Antonio Conte? What teams didn't want the international break? And what is unique about Jonathan Clauss' situation at Nice?
