Advantage Inter, Bayern’s late show - and a reprieve for Alonso at Real?

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo’s got the Euro crew alongside him for a dive into the wild and wonderful world of football from across the continent…

We start in Italy, where the title race took yet more twists and turns as Milan and Napoli both dropped points to allow Inter to take top spot. Plus - Fiorentina’s plight deepens after their latest defeat leaves them eight points from safety in Serie A.

Over in Germany, Bayern had a scare as they were staring down the barrel of defeat to bottom of the table Mainz, before - of course - Harry Kane stepped up to convert a penalty and take a point back to Munich… and somehow still manage to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table!

And in La Liga - Real Madrid picked up a precious three points at Alaves with Xabi Alonso’s job reportedly on the line. But Barcelona stay four points clear after Raphinha’s double made it seven wins in a row for the league leaders.

All that plus ground-hopping recommendations, favourite insults, private emails - and emotional goodbyes.
