Steve Crossman and the panel react to an action packed couple of nights in the Champions League. Julien Laurens, Mina Rzouki &, Guillem Ballagué give their reaction to a busy week for Italian clubs including Juventus’ near comeback, Atalanta’s late win over Borussia Dortmund and, Inter Milan’s shock defeat to Bodø/Glimt. In Spain, Real Madrid survived an early scare against Benfica to progress to the next round. Benfica had a plethora of chances. This doesn’t feel like a particularly strong Real Madrid side like the ones of old. Atletico Madrid are through to an eighth Champions League Round of 16 stage under Diego Simeone, but will it be his last? Had they gone out could it have been a different story for the Argentine.

On this episode of The Cooligans, we break down the wild rumor of Antoine Griezmann potentially joining Orlando City and whether he could seriously challenge Lionel Messi’s MLS throne. Gotham FC defender Mandy Freeman joins the show to discuss the club’s championship run, the pressure of defending a title, her decade-long NWSL journey, her passion for fashion, and why the league’s new High Impact Player rule may not benefit players the way fans expect. Plus, we talk Weston McKennie’s standout Champions League performance despite Juventus falling short, Vinícius Jr.’s statement game against Benfica, and Bodø/Glimt’s shocking result against Inter Milan.

Sixteen games. Sixty-two goals. Two breathless weeks of UEFA Champions League playoff drama. Has Europe’s elite competition ever been this entertaining? And with the away-goals rule gone and a new format delivering chaos, comebacks and late drama... Is this proof that the changes are good for football? On the other hand VAR is back under the spotlight too, after another hugely controversial decision involving Lloyd Kelly and Juventus. What needs to be done at the top to stop referees taking over the game? And then there’s Newcastle United. It’s been a monumental two years: Champions League knockout football and silverware secured for the first time in 70 years. Should Eddie Howe be receiving more credit? And should his name already be mentioned alongside club icons like Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

The Derby d’Italia this weekend felt crucial in the race for this year’s Scudetto. Musa and Ryan chat about Inter leaving it late to beat Juventus (05:03), who were down to ten for the entire second half at San Siro, after a very controversial second yellow for Pierre Kalulu. It took a brilliant winner from Piotr Zieliński to win the game and send Inter eight points clear of the top, thanks to Napoli’s draw with Roma. In the middle of all that, there’s a big detour about manager’s first touches and player showboating (17:39), before chatting about Igor Tudor becoming the Tottenham Hotspur men’s interim head coach (34:53). Finally, there’s a round-up (45:33) featuring La Liga, Bundesliga, FA Cup, a rare case of a spiritually onside goal actually counting and Mo Salah doing his bit for content.

Last week Tottenham finally parted ways with Thomas Frank with the club in 16th place and looking nervously over their shoulder at Nottingham Forest and West Ham.

Here James is joined by fellow Tottenham fan Ricky Saunders for a discussion on the managerial change, why blame should also be aimed at those running the football club and concerns around a chronic injury list. Plus, what we can expect from Tudor tactically and stylistically and if the job is just waiting for Mauricio Pochettino's return... but would he even take it if the club went down?

Jimbo’s got European football friends Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Tom Williams alongside him as the Champions League re-enters the room… We start with those midweek UCL MD7 ties - including the tight battle for a top eight finish with the likes of Tottenham v Dortmund, Marseille v Liverpool and Juventus v Benfica looking finely poised. In Serie A, there were tributes to Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso - who passed away on Saturday but left a huge legacy in not only Florence but across the Italian sporting landscape. La Viola honoured him by beating Bologna 2-1 on Sunday to move out of the bottom three. Over in La Liga, the gap’s been cut to just one point! That’s after Barcelona’s 11-game winning streak was ended by a 2-1 defeat at Real Sociedad. Real Madrid took advantage, beating Levante 2-0 amid a backdrop of boos, whistles and protests in the Spanish capital… Meanwhile in the Bundesliga, Bayern became the first team in Europe’s top 5 leagues to score 100 goals in all competitions this season as they came from behind to beat Leipzig 5-1 thanks to a second half masterclass from Michael Olise. Plus, what next for Frankfurt after Dino Topmoller was sacked after their latest 3-3 draw? And over in France - Lens are *still* top of the table thanks to a club-record eight straight Ligue 1 wins. PSG stay a point behind after their 3-0 win over Lille - which featured one of the goals of the season from Ousmane Dembele. All that plus pinchos, personalised apps - and poor ratings! Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Pajak is here with today’s news around LFC (the greatest football club in the world). We’ve got the Barnsley fallout, a touch of Liverpool’s new signings, a Chiesa update and what sounds like good news from the Marc Guehi camp. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jimbo’s joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús & James Horncastle for a deep-dive into all the latest action and headlines from across the continent. There’s only one place to start - and the news that broke late on Monday afternoon that Xabi Alonso has been sacked as Real Madrid head coach - and replaced by the club’s reserve team coach Alvaro Arbeloa. The Athletic’s Guillermo Rai joins us for the immediate reaction to the news which followed the 3-2 defeat by dear friends Barcelona in the Supercopa on Sunday evening. There’s drama of a title race variety in Italy - where the hunt for the Scudetto was reignited once again as Inter, Milan and Napoli all dropped points to open the door for chasers Roma and Juventus. And in Germany - the Bundesliga returned from the Winterpause in style with goals galore across the weekend including Bayern putting EIGHT past Wolfsburg, while Frankfurt and Dortmund played out a 3-3 thriller on Friday night. Vincent Kompany’s side couldn’t win the title by a record-breaking points margin, could they? All that plus the latest from the Coupe de France as Endrick marks his debut for Lyon with a winning goal, reminiscing on the ‘Mohawk Trident’ - and dramatic snowscapes in Hamburg. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend - pencils, dodgy banners and fairytale ascents (00.45) • PART 2: La Liga review - Alonso out! Arbeloa in!
