The Euros qualifiers are back! And ahead of tonight’s Euro 2020 re-run, Dotun, Andy and David talk all things Azzurri and explore why Roberto Mancini is bemoaning a lack of Italian players after a season of brilliant success in Europe for Serie A clubs.

Elsewhere, we bid farewell to Mesut Özil, who tellingly didn’t bid farewell to Germany in his retirement announcement. And David and Andy ask: is El Clásico dead?!
