James Richardson and Team Totally are here three times a week with all the football news you need to know - and plenty that you don’t. On Monday, we review all the weekend’s action. On Tuesday, it’s the Euro crew with James Horncastle and Raphael Honigstein looking at matters across the continent. And on Thursday, Duncan Alexander brings the silliness and numbers.

Real Madrid’s big week and Galatasaray’s record streak
Packed into The Athletic studio, it’s Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo to cater for your continental needs.
Liverpool travel to Madrid, three goals down against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Then Ancelotti’s men have El Clasico after Real confirmed their intention to join the complaint against Barca after they were charged with corruption.
Man City take on Leipzig while cup manager Inzaghi looks for another big result as Inter go to Porto.
Over in Turkey, Banu Yelkovan tells us about Super Lig leaders Galatasaray who have won 14 games in a row and have a more star-studded squad than you’d realised.
And in France, Reims are still unbeaten in Ligue 1 under Still, and Benzema and Deschamps are having a very public row over the World Cup.
Plus that Osimhen song, that Nuno Santos Rabona and that goal worthy of Maradona.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
