For decades, European football has been dominated by its ‘big five’ domestic competitions: the English Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A,...

Kris and Phil look at the 3rd round of Ligue 1 games, including poor starts for some of the promoted teams, the biggest transfers now the window has shut, and the draw for the European competitions.

With the penultimate round featuring ten matches simultaneously in both Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, Kris and Phil try to keep track of everything - the race for Europe, to avoid relegation, to achieve promotion, as well as people moving on, the UNFP awards, and some national team news.

After a weekend full of tense matches, moments, and situations all around Europe, Musa and Ryan do their best to summarize it all. They begin with Chelsea and Spurs drawing at Stamford Bridge (06:13), before touching on Leeds' win at Goodison Park over Everton, as well as Carlo Ancelotti's calming post-match manner (13:52). There was a game of two halves at St. Mary's as Manchester United came from two goals behind to beat Southampton (16:24), more disappointment for Arsenal, and the subject of concussion protocols in football (21:20). There's some five-subs chat after Brighton vs. Liverpool and a roundup of the rest of the Premier League (28:16), before a discussion of the sad passing of Papa Bouba Diop (34:18). Finally, there's a quick trip around the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, La Liga, and Serie A (44:56). Learn more about your ad choices.
