Musa and Ryan recap some of the goings-on around European football from the weekend. They begin in Germany, where Union remained top, Bayern lost again to Augsburg, and Dortmund won the derby against Schalke (02:32). There were goals and big results on the WSL’s return (06:28), as newly promoted Liverpool beat champion Chelsea and Aston Villa beat Manchester City in a seven-goal thriller! They also discuss key games from Serie A (10:39) and the Premier League (15:02) before moving on to the Madrid Derby (29:08), which saw grimness off the pitch and some greatness on it. Finally, they answer a few questions on De Zerbi, expanding the Women’s Champions League, and more.
