There's only one name on everybody's lips after Sunday's Euro 2024 action: Jude Bellingham. Who else? Alec, Tomás and Alex discuss the England star's remarkable stoppage-time goal — and his response to critics in the press room afterwards. With the Three Lions through to a quarter-final, can Gareth Southgate take any credit for the dramatic comeback against Slovakia? And how should he tinker with his team for the upcoming tie with Switzerland?

Elsewhere, Spain dazzle with their own 4-1 comeback win against Georgia and Tomás waxes lyrical about their two star wingers. Alex prepares for a trip to Munich for his own last 16 adventure and we preview the rest of the round — with France-Belgium the pick of the bunch.

Who's been the player of Euro 2024 so far? Have England been the biggest flops? And what tactical trends has the eagle-eyed Alex spotted in Germany?

Mario tells us about the amazing backstory of Spanish star Nico Williams and why he and Tomás are eating humble pie over Luis de la Fuente.
