Inter 3–2 Juventus looks tasty on paper, but that barely scratches the surface.

@nickybandini.bsky.social joins @andybrassell.bsky.social to unpack it all. Is Pierre Kalulu’s dismissal a turning point? Have Inter got one hand on the Scudetto? We discuss it all! 👇

Lovely moment for local boy Antonio Vergara scoring his first senior goal for Napoli vs Chelsea.

Amusingly at the weekend he was caught on camera in Napoli's game against Juve trying to get the referee - who didn't know who he was & just assumed he was foreign - to stop speaking to him in English

Two goal comeback in injury time for Juventus against Dortmund, after a two goal comeback to beat Inter at the weekend. 8 goals scored total across the two games.

They're certainly not a great team right now. But they are a very entertaining one.

Domenico Tedesco has taken the helm at Fenerbahçe, replacing Jose Mourinho. But is he the man for the job? 👀

Also, which national team surprised us? And is Memphis Depay a legend? 🇳🇱

Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be sh*t.

Today, @nickybandini.bsky.social explains to Dotun and @andybrassell.bsky.social why Gennaro Gattuso’s famous quote is very applicable to his Italy team.

Plus, PSG have fallen out with Deschamps and France.
