On The Continent - A European Football Podcast

For a long time, Federico Valverde was used in a deep role for Real Madrid. But after scoring a blockbuster hat-trick against Manchester City in the Champions League, has he been playing in the wrong position all along? Could he become a mainstay in Real's attack?

Andy and Dotun are joined by Lars Sivertsen to decipher that. Also, what will Julian Brandt's legacy be at Borussia Dortmund? Are OGC Nice Ligue 1's answer to Tottenham Hotspur? And why are Lazio facing an off-field crisis?

The French media were insistent that Paris Saint-Germain came into their game against Chelsea as underdogs. Well, they certainly proved those critics wrong. A display of incredible resilience has put the Parisians firmly in the driving seat ahead of their return leg at Stamford Bridge. Somehow, are the defending champions the dark horse to win it all?

Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun and Andy to heap praise on Luis Enrique's side. Plus, a demolition job from the unstoppable force that is Bayern Munich and Bodø/Glimt shock the world... again.

We thought the door was shut, but have Milan blown the Serie A title race wide open again? Victory for the red side of Milan against their city rivals has certainly given Inter something to think about. Only seven points are in it with ten games to play. Can Max Allegri's side do the unthinkable and challenge Inter for the Scudetto?

Nicky Bandini joins Andy to dissect a game which may well have huge consequences for who is crowned champions of Italy come the end of the season.

At Real Madrid, losing isn’t acceptable. Drawing isn’t acceptable. Conceding can feel like failure. Álvaro Arbeloa has done the unthinkable: two defeats in a row - first to Osasuna, then to Getafe at the Bernabéu. So, how tenuous is the Spaniard's position?

Dotun and Andy are joined by David Cartlidge to answer that. Also, could Oliver Glasner replace Jürgen Klopp at Red Bull? Why did Flamengo sack Filipe Luís after he won the double? And we reveal the real reason that so many Scandinavian players are heading to the Primeira Liga.

In typical Atlético Madrid style, Diego Simeone's side have dragged themselves into the Copa del Rey final kicking and screaming. Only this Atleti team could turn a 4-0 lead from the first leg into a nerve-wracking finish. But their fans won't care!

David Cartlidge joins Dotun and Andy to discuss what that result means for both Atleti and Barça. Plus, Bayer Leverkusen get a much-needed win to keep them in the fight for the Champions League places, and Marseille have the most Marseille week after two vastly different results at the Vélodrome.
