The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

It’s Jimbo and the Euro crew of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo as we get fully underway across the continent.

Harry Kane scores and assists on his Bundesliga bow but is it what he brings off the pitch that will most benefit Bayern this season?

Milan impress on Serie A’s opening weekend thanks to Captain America but Juventus are the team that look like they really mean business.

PSG are still winless under Luis Enrique, even with Kylian Mbappe back on the scoresheet. But it could be worse, they could be Laurent Blanc’s Lyon.

Bellingham and Yamal light up La Liga but it’s the conduct of Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales after Spain’s World Cup win that dominates the headlines.

And we remember Carlo Mazzone, Guardiola’s former manager, who passed away this weekend.

Produced by Charlie Jones.

• PART 1: Moment of the weekend (01.30)

• PART 2: Kane inspires Bayern on Bundesliga opening weekend (05.30)

Jimbo, Tim Spiers, Benji Lanyado and Matt Davies-Adams gather together in the studio after Spain win the World Cup in Sydney and after another enthralling Premier League weekend.

It’s the Spanish who overcome all their off-field troubles to secure the biggest prize in women’s football. Did Sarina Wiegman shoot herself in the foot with her substitutions?

In the Premier League, Chelsea suffer their first defeat under Mauricio Pochettino at the hands of West Ham. An impressive outing for Sterling but less so for Caicedo.

Tottenham overcome Man United with the fans falling in love with Ange Postecoglou and the team once again. But it’s a miserable weekend for Everton and Wolves who face off next weekend.

Plus Liverpool’s defending, the non-celebration and who looked like they’d lost all their possessions in a house fire?
