The team reflect on a turbulent week for Julian Alvarez at Atletico Madrid, and with Barcelona seemingly out of the running, does that open the door for Arsenal? Then, we hear more about Musiala's condition which saw him collapse in consecutive friendlies for Bayern last week. How have the club kept it private for such a long time, and is there a long-term concern over Musiala's career? Schalke and ex-Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslić joins the pod to discuss Schalke's promotion to the Bundesliga, the signing of fellow Bosnian Edin Džeko, and how Loris Karius has turned his career around at the club. Finally, Jules and Raf look at who might be best-placed to challenge Bayern domestically this season.
