With Ryan just back from Dortmund, he and Musa focus their attention on Bayern’s 4-0 win over BVB at the Westfalenstadion, thanks in no small part to another triple for Harry Kane (06:17). They discuss the start, what Thomas Tuchel got right and maybe where Edin Terzić may have had regrets, plus the experience of being back in one of Europe’s greatest stadiums for one of its marquee fixtures. They also round up some Premier League (38:38) results before wrapping up with Fluminense's victory in their first Copa Libertadores after they defeated Boca at the Maracanã (41:34).

Jimbo brings in the continental big guns - James Horncastle, Raphael Hongstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo - as the Champions League returns. Napoli have scored 8 goals in their last 2 matches, with Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia seemingly back to their best. A fine time for Jude Bellingham’s Real Madrid to be visiting. PSG head to Newcastle after another 0-0 at Clermont. Leipzig host Man City after losing their sporting director last week. And Thomas Tuchel is starting to wonder whether he’s the problem at Bayern. Domestically, it’s a good time for Genoa and a bad time for Andrea Pirlo’s Sampdoria. Leverkusen make their best start ever while Lyon are in as much bother as the Nantes mascot.

As league seasons come to a close across Europe, Dotun, Andy and David have some huge stories to unpack. After Valencia double down in their self-defence over the racist abuse aimed at Vinícius Junior, we discuss attitudes to racism in Spain and the shameful response from La Liga. We also react to ANOTHER Juventus points deduction which - surprisingly - has José Mourinho in a huff. Plus, it looks like Bayern are about to let the Bundesliga slip out of their hands for the first time since 2012. Why has it gone so disastrously wrong for Tommy Tuchel? Got a question for us?

Coming towards the end of a bumpier first year in charge at Chelsea than either Todd Boehly or Behdad Eghbali could have ever envisaged, Sky Sports digital football journalist Joe Shread looks back on the most turbluent season in living memory at Stamford Bridge. In a special edition of Essential Football, Joe joins Ron Walker to discuss the key topics from a campaign which began with such promise after a tough end to the Roman Abramovich era. Up for discussion is how the new owners' relationship with Thomas Tuchel soured - and resulted in his sacking days after a chaotic summer transfer window had ended, before the pursuit of Graham Potter and the rapid toxic atmosphere which soon engulfed his reign amid another mad spending spree. Then it's onto the return of Frank Lampard and Chelsea plumetting to new depths under their interim manager - but renewed hope finally appearing due to the impending arrival of Mauricio Pochettino. Read Joe's full feature on Chelsea's 12 months of chaos on the Sky Sports website.

Drama! Bayern's Bundesliga title streak could end on Saturday. We talk about the frankly bizarre Dortmund team that has a chance to do what no one predicted this summer, and what's gone wrong from Bayern over the season and recently under Tuchel to land them here. Support the show

Musa Okwonga and Ryan Hunn focus on this week’s Champions League quarterfinal second legs. They begin in Munich, where Manchester City did enough to hold off Bayern and continue Thomas Tuchel’s tricky start to his new job (08:03), before discussing Real Madrid’s win over Chelsea (21:05), Milan again getting the better of Napoli (26:55), and a six-goal thriller in Lisbon, which saw Inter set up a Derby della Madonnina semifinal (36:07).

In separate games, sadly. But damn it all Marcus, Jim and Andy are here and armed with all the best bits from last night’s action nonetheless – from Man City and Inter’s progression in the Champions League, to a lil bit of Championship spice! Featuring goalscoring goalkeepers, a very stubborn football curse, and more outrageously outdated references. Plus, Jim offers his theory that Tuchel is just a top-tier Nathan Jones. Yikes.

While Lukaku's disappointing loan spell at Inter is coming to an end, Chelsea's problems in front of goal show no signs of abating, so, is it time for a reunion? Host Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton and Chelsea correspondent Liam Twomey to discuss... Was the infamous Sky Italia interview the last straw for then head coach Thomas Tuchel, and could Lukaku's return actually help the club's muddled recruitment strategy start to make sense on the pitch? Plus, James Horncastle reflects on the striker's time in Italy, why June 30th is such an important date in Todd Boehly's calendar and why the whole Lukaku situation may become an uncomfortably familiar one for supporters in the near future.
