Plus - Fiorentina’s plight deepens after their latest defeat leaves them eight points from safety in Serie A.  Over in Germany, Bayern had a scare as they were staring down the barrel of defeat to bottom of the table Mainz, before - of course - Harry Kane stepped up to convert a penalty and take a point back to Munich… and somehow still manage to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table! And in La Liga - Real Madrid picked up a precious three points at Alaves with Xabi Alonso’s job reportedly on the line. But Barcelona stay four points clear after Raphinha’s double made it seven wins in a row for the league leaders. All that plus ground-hopping recommendations, favourite insults, private emails - and emotional goodbyes. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend - but first, an announcement (00.35)• PART 2: Serie A review - Inter take advantage as Fiorentina despair deepens (14.30)• PART 3: Bundesliga review - Kane strikes late, Jobe sees red (30.50)• PART 4: Ligue 1 review - Lens top for Christmas, not so nice for Nice (42.50)• PART 5: La Liga review - Alonso safe… for now - while Espanyol impress (44.30) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo’s got Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford-Bloor all along for the rollercoaster ride through the weekend’s action across the continent. We kick things off in France, where PSG have João Neves to thank for their two-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table after his 95th minute winner against Lyon.

But neither did Leipzig or Dortmund, meaning Vincent Kompany’s men have actually extended their lead at the top of the table to six points despite the 2-2 draw at Union Berlin. In Spain, Real Madrid were lucky to come away from Rayo Vallecano with a point - which Barcelona took full advantage of in their 4-2 win at Celta Vigo, featuring a hat-trick from 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski.
