  • PSG power past Man City, plus a big weekend for Amorim and Ange

    PSG power past Man City, plus a big weekend for Amorim and Ange
    Jan 23 2025
    Jimbo is in The Athletic studio with Michael Cox, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams after more sensational Champions League action. It’s a milestone win for Luis Enrique’s PSG, coming from 2-0 down to inflict more pain on Pep Guardiola’s Man City and cast some doubt over their Champions League future. Elsewhere, there’s a heavyweight clash between Simeone and Alonso and the first ever 5-4 in the Champions League era as Barca beat Benfica. Was it too unserious to be called a classic? It’s a big Premier League weekend for the under-pressure Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou. Plus why Bournemouth v Forest is the game of the weekend and the rules in football that you didn’t know about. Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • PSG v Man City tops the UCL bill, plus is ten Hag the answer to Dortmund's problems?

    PSG v Man City tops the UCL bill, plus is ten Hag the answer to Dortmund's problems?
    Jan 21 2025
    Jimbo’s got his European gang alongside him as James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Julien Laurens look back on the latest action across the continent - and look ahead to matchday seven in the Champions League. We begin with a look ahead to some of those key UCL ties, including Wednesday night’s heavyweight 25th v 22nd battle between PSG and Manchester City. Plus, Liverpool look to make it seven wins from seven when they host high-flying Lille and Villa make the trip to Monaco. There was late drama in Serie A as Romelu Lukaku scored the winner in a 3-2 victory in Bergamo to further derail Atalanta’s hopes of a first Scudetto. It means Antonio Conte’s side are three points clear at the top of the table, but have played a game more than chasers Inter Milan who picked up their own 3-1 win over Empoli to keep up the pressure. Over in La Liga, promoted Leganes pulled off yet another shock as they ended Atlético Madrid’s club-record 15-game winning run. It’s a result that handed the advantage over to Real - with Mbappé and co fighting back from conceding after just 28 seconds to beat Las Palmas 4-1. In Germany, Bayern Munich’s lead at the top stays at four points after forgotten man Leon Goretzka bagged a brace in their 3-2 win over Wolfsburg. Chasers Leverkusen made it 11 wins in a row, with lateness no problem this week for Florian Wirtz who got an assist and brace of his own in their victory over Monchengladbach - an 11th win in a row in all competitions for the reigning champions. Plus, could a certain former Manchester United manager be parachuted in to save Dortmund as their season continues to implode? And in France, you guessed it… PSG’s unbeaten run continues - this time coming from behind to beat Lens 2-1 and extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points. That’s after closest challengers Marseille were held to a 1-1 draw by Strasbourg. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Champions League previews (12.30) • PART 3: Serie A review - Napoli beat Atalanta to strengthen title hopes (23.25) • PART 4: La Liga review - Atleti’s 15-match winning run over as Real go top (36.25) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - Big trouble for Dortmund as Leverkusen keep winning (41.10) • PART 6: Ligue 1 review - PSG’s lead stretched to nine points (51.25) Learn more about your ad choices.

Hear why the Reds are almost home free and why the Gunners are actually doing well. Everton stun Spurs with their first win under David Moyes since his return to Goodison. What next for Postecoglou’s Tottenham and what next for Amorim’s Man United who are beaten yet again by Brighton? Bournemouth make it 11 games unbeaten with a stunning 4-1 win at Newcastle, as Andoni Iraola continues to produce one of the best coaching performances in years. Plus Man City’s 6-0 win at Ipswich, Forest as flat-track bullies and what do West Ham want to be? Produced by Charlie Jones.
