Vini's remarkable red + Man City welcome champions PSG

The Euro Show is back after an international hiatus and there’s plenty to discuss with the return of the Champions League and yet more headline making for Vinicius Jr.

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Seb Stafford-Bloor and a special cameo appearance from Pol Ballus ahead of some blockbuster Champions League clashes. It’s all eyes on the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City host holders PSG. What’s been the reaction to City’s charges across the rest of Europe?

Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid go to his former club Roma with both teams having had star attackers sent off over the weekend: Donyell Malen seeing red at Como, while Vinicius Jr is dismissed for pulling Villarreal midfielder Nathan Saliba’s hair.

Julian Alvarez has parted company with his long-term agent. What might that mean for Manchester United’s chances against Atletico Madrid?

Plus, Bayern Munich concede the fastest goal in Bundesliga history in a 2-2 draw with Augsburg, as Freiburg go top of the table.
