Steve Crossman is joined by European football experts and stars of the Euro Leagues; Guillem Balague, Julien Laurens and James Horncastle.

The hot topic on the pod is Cristiano Ronaldo - after been given a straight red card in Portugal’s World Cup qualifier against the Republic of Ireland a few weeks ago, Ronaldo was set to miss the first two matches of the 2026 World Cup in order to serve his full three-match ban.

However, the final two matches of his ban have been suspended by Fifa’s disciplinary committee for “a one-year probation period”, with Fifa citing his previous good conduct as the reason for the suspension – the guys get into quite a heated debate over if this was the correct decision… or not.

They head live to Norway for a huge story in the Eliteserien - with Viking FK one win away from a first league title since 1991.

They also discus Brazilian wonderkids Estevao and Endrick, European veteran Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Vinicius Jr’s strained relationship with Xabi Alonso – as well as reflecting on all of the week’s Champions League action!
