The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Packed into The Athletic studio, it’s Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo to cater for your continental needs.

Liverpool travel to Madrid, three goals down against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Then Ancelotti’s men have El Clasico after Real confirmed their intention to join the complaint against Barca after they were charged with corruption.

Man City take on Leipzig while cup manager Inzaghi looks for another big result as Inter go to Porto.

Over in Turkey, Banu Yelkovan tells us about Super Lig leaders Galatasaray who have won 14 games in a row and have a more star-studded squad than you’d realised.

And in France, Reims are still unbeaten in Ligue 1 under Still, and Benzema and Deschamps are having a very public row over the World Cup.

Plus that Osimhen song, that Nuno Santos Rabona and that goal worthy of Maradona.

Jimbo, Jack Lang, Daniel Storey and Jay Harris reconvene to discuss a slightly bizarre Premier League weekend.

Liverpool follow up their 7-0 win over Man United with a 1-0 surrender at Bournemouth. Which does little to convince the panel that they can overcome a three-goal deficit at Real Madrid in the Champions League this week.

Leaders Arsenal cruise to a 3-0 win at Fulham with Leandro Trossard setting up all three goals. And Gabriel Jesus is back.

It’s an unhappy Sunday for another Brazilian as Casemiro sees red again at Old Trafford. Why is he falling foul of officials so often when he didn’t in La Liga?

And with the bottom 5 all taking points, and with 5 points separating the bottom 9, we ask who the heck is going down? Are Leicester too good? Or are Forest set to slide down the table without Johnson?

Jimbo welcomes along Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke into the studio after a Champions League midweek full of drama and disappointment, and ahead of a Premier League weekend full of quirks.

Tottenham’s joyless Champions League campaign ends with the first ever 0-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Milan progress to the last 8. Do the club need a reset and who is the manager to replace Conte and rebuild?

Chelsea ease the pressure on Potter with victory over Dortmund as they keep their hopes of silverware alive. Did we see a new Potter and has he stumbled upon a starting 11 that he should stick with?

PSG suffer another last 16 exit. Julien Laurens tells us why the Parisians don’t have a strong enough squad and why Bayern Munich aren’t as good as they should be.

In the Premier League this weekend, leaders Arsenal travel to Craven Cottage with reason to fear Mitrovic, Solomon and co. And Man City are at Selhurst Park where they’ve had a hard time in the past.

Elsewhere we discuss Brighton chance’s of a top 4 finish and Evan Ferguson’s chances of a big money move.

Plus El Blockico, the king of the flick-ons and Adrian’s triple retake.

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo are back together at The Athletic studios in anticipation of some red-hot Champions League second legs.

Bayern host PSG with a 1-0 lead but can they contain Kylian Mbappe, PSG’s newly crowned all-time top scorer? Especially when Julian Nagelsmann seems to have lost faith in Joao Cancelo.

Dortmund travel to Stamford Bridge after securing their 10th win in a row in 2023. They’ve learned how to play without the ball and the brilliant Julian Brandt is archetypal of the new Dortmund.

Spurs welcome Milan to North London for a fixture that’s too close to call. Is Rafael Leao due a big performance for the Rossoneri?

Domestically, Sevilla are smashed 6-1 by Atletico with Sampaoli and Monchi both under the microscope. And Will Still is still unbeaten in Ligue 1 with Reims.

Plus Scott Parker, Piers Morgan and boil-in bag rice.

Jimbo is joined by Tim Spiers, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams after massive wins at Anfield and the Emirates in the Premier League this weekend.

Man United suffer their joint heaviest defeat ever, collapsing 7-0 at Anfield. Salah’s on song for the Reds, as is Fabinho as United look like toddlers in a playground. None more so than Bruno Fernandes.

Saturday sees one of the games of the season and one of the noises of the season as leaders Arsenal come from 2-0 down to beat Bournemouth 3-2. Reiss Nelson providing ecstasy at the Emirates.

Elsewhere, Wolves are looking good to stay up as they see off Spurs in the Tim Spiers derby. Do they actually have a better squad than Tottenham?

Plus praise for De Zerbi and Johnson, the less than effective Kai Havertz and West Ham as the Roy Hodgson GIF.
