The panel give a continental view on ‘spygate’ and how Southampton’s actions have been viewed around the rest of Europe. It’s something that occurs regularly in Europe, but has anything to this scale ever occurred before? Manuel Neuer has come out of international retirement to be named in Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany squad for the World Cup. Is this shocking given how insistent both Neuer & Nagelsmann were that this wouldn’t happen? Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann has been backed as Germany’s new number one when Neuer retired after the 2024 Euros, and some fans want him to keep his place. Elsewhere, Neymar will return to the Brazil squad after it looked like he may have been set to miss the tournament. Elversberg will be one of the smallest teams to have ever played in Germany’s top division, having been promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in their history, having finished the season in second in 2. Bundesliga. The club has bounced back having just missed out on promotion the season before, then losing the manager of six years Horst Steffen to Werder Bremen. The panel are joined by Lars Joeckel from ELV Friends Bliesen fan group to reflect on a historic season. And it’s the final weekend of the Serie A season with several clubs chasing Champions League football. Cesc Fabergas’ Como are one of the main talking points of the season. And are there issues brewing at AC Milan and Juventus.
