Jimbo welcomes Julien Laurens, Duncan Alexander and Pol Ballús onto the pod after night 1 of the Champions League. Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid don't have much of the ball and are outshot by Inter but they get the 3 points. Is it enough to satisfy the fans at the Bernabeu? The Ballon d’Or nominees are also announced. Could we have an English winner for the first time in 25 years? The English are winners on the continent on Tuesday with Aston Villa getting their first goals of the season in Bruges and Erling Haaland making it 59 goals in 59 Champions League appearances in Porto. It's a great night for Troy Parrott, a bad one for Ethan Mbappe, and Serhou Guirassy makes strange history. Plus Carabao Cup and the first of the 92 to wield the axe.
