Tottenham are beaten at home by struggling Leicester to make it 1 point from the last 21 available for Spurs. What next for Ange Postecoglou? Jay Harris was there.

The gap at the top of the table between Liverpool and Arsenal remains 6 points, despite the Gunners’ 4th red card of the season.

  • PSG power past Man City, plus a big weekend for Amorim and Ange

    PSG power past Man City, plus a big weekend for Amorim and Ange
    Jan 23 2025
    Jimbo is in The Athletic studio with Michael Cox, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams after more sensational Champions League action. It’s a milestone win for Luis Enrique’s PSG, coming from 2-0 down to inflict more pain on Pep Guardiola’s Man City and cast some doubt over their Champions League future. Elsewhere, there’s a heavyweight clash between Simeone and Alonso and the first ever 5-4 in the Champions League era as Barca beat Benfica. Was it too unserious to be called a classic? It’s a big Premier League weekend for the under-pressure Ruben Amorim and Ange Postecoglou. Plus why Bournemouth v Forest is the game of the weekend and the rules in football that you didn’t know about. Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • PSG v Man City tops the UCL bill, plus is ten Hag the answer to Dortmund's problems?

    PSG v Man City tops the UCL bill, plus is ten Hag the answer to Dortmund's problems?
    Jan 21 2025
    Jimbo’s got his European gang alongside him as James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Julien Laurens look back on the latest action across the continent - and look ahead to matchday seven in the Champions League. We begin with a look ahead to some of those key UCL ties, including Wednesday night’s heavyweight 25th v 22nd battle between PSG and Manchester City. Plus, Liverpool look to make it seven wins from seven when they host high-flying Lille and Villa make the trip to Monaco. There was late drama in Serie A as Romelu Lukaku scored the winner in a 3-2 victory in Bergamo to further derail Atalanta’s hopes of a first Scudetto. It means Antonio Conte’s side are three points clear at the top of the table, but have played a game more than chasers Inter Milan who picked up their own 3-1 win over Empoli to keep up the pressure. Over in La Liga, promoted Leganes pulled off yet another shock as they ended Atlético Madrid’s club-record 15-game winning run. It’s a result that handed the advantage over to Real - with Mbappé and co fighting back from conceding after just 28 seconds to beat Las Palmas 4-1. In Germany, Bayern Munich’s lead at the top stays at four points after forgotten man Leon Goretzka bagged a brace in their 3-2 win over Wolfsburg. Chasers Leverkusen made it 11 wins in a row, with lateness no problem this week for Florian Wirtz who got an assist and brace of his own in their victory over Monchengladbach - an 11th win in a row in all competitions for the reigning champions. Plus, could a certain former Manchester United manager be parachuted in to save Dortmund as their season continues to implode? And in France, you guessed it… PSG’s unbeaten run continues - this time coming from behind to beat Lens 2-1 and extend their lead at the top of the table to nine points. That’s after closest challengers Marseille were held to a 1-1 draw by Strasbourg. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Champions League previews (12.30) • PART 3: Serie A review - Napoli beat Atalanta to strengthen title hopes (23.25) • PART 4: La Liga review - Atleti’s 15-match winning run over as Real go top (36.25) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - Big trouble for Dortmund as Leverkusen keep winning (41.10) • PART 6: Ligue 1 review - PSG’s lead stretched to nine points (51.25) Learn more about your ad choices.
