With the club season over - until the Club World Cup - the panel look back at some of their highlights from 24/25.

Recorded earlier on Monday, Jimbo assembles Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle as the Euro gang sign off for the summer in style. 

There’s only one place to start - and the dramatic events on Friday night in Serie A as Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku were on the scoresheet as Napoli tasted Scudetto glory amid jubilant scenes inside the Maradona and on the streets of Naples. 

Inter will be hoping to put the disappointment of missing out on the title behind them as they prepare to face PSG in Saturday’s Champions League final. The French champions warmed up for the occasion by cruising to a 3-0 victory over Reims in the Coupe de France. So - who’ll come out on top in Munich?

The curtain closed on the La Liga season this weekend with emotional goodbyes for Carlo Ancelotti & Luka Modrić as their time at Real Madrid came to an end with a 2-0 win over Real Sociedad. Barcelona wrapped up their domestic treble-winning season with a comfortable victory at Athletic Bilbao - while Real Betis prepare for Wednesday’s Conference League final against Chelsea… 

And over in Germany, the Pokal fairytale wasn’t to be for Arminia Bielefeld as Stuttgart ended their 18-year wait for a trophy with a 4-2 victory over their third-division opponents. Plus, the big news out of Leverkusen is that Erik ten Hag is back!

Chelsea finish off Forest and finish 4th, securing Champions League football. Should we still be expecting more from the Blues? And what should we expect from Forest in the Conference League?

Newcastle are back among the European elite despite losing at home to Everton. That’s because Villa are beaten 2-0 at Old Trafford, with a refereeing mistake that has Villa complaining to the Premier League. Jacob Tanswell has more.
