On The Continent: Luis Enrique's international return, Mauricio Pochettino's next move and Gareth Bale's recent troubles

Hei og velkommen to another episode of On The Continent! Lars Sivertsen joins Andy and Luke this week to discuss some fallout from the European qualifiers, and look ahead to the return of the European domestic game.

We begin with discussing Gareth Bale's latest troubles at Real Madrid, after the flying of the ill-advised 'Wales, Golf, Madrid' flag. Bale has missed six games through injury for his club, yet was hugely impressive in his two recent games for Wales; we evaluate whether Bale deserves any sympathy and what his next move might be. We then mull over Luis Enrique's return to the Spanish national side after stepping down for personal reasons in June, and the RFEF's mismanagement of the situation. There's also time for chat about the fallout from the José Mourinho x Mauricio Pochettino saga and reveal our Games of the Week!
