Champions League play-offs begin, PSG shocked by Rennes + chaos in Derby D'Italia

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo is joined by the Euro crew Tom Williams, James Horncastle, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor to discuss the latest from football across the continent.

The Champions League play-offs are here: Tuesday night sees Galatasaray vs Juve, Benfica vs Real Madrid, Dortmund vs Atalanta and Monaco vs PSG + Wednesday is Qarabag vs Newcastle, Bodø/Glimt vs Inter, Brugge vs Atléti + Olympiacos vs Leverkusen.

All change at the top of Ligue 1 with managerless Rennes beating PSG 3-1, which meant that Lens go top after racking up their biggest ever league win, 5-0 at Paris FC.

It was a big weekend in Italy with Inter edging a chaotic Derby D’Italia and Napoli coming back from two Donyell Malen goals to draw 2-2 with Roma. The top 4 all won in Germany and in Spain, TAA is back and got an assist as Real beat Sociedad 4-1 to make it 8 wins in a row.

Plus Vermut/Vermouth and Pol's Barca 'sauce'.
