The Champions League and Europa League return, with Jimbo, James Horncastle, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens on hand to preview Matchday 1.\n\nBarcelona host Bayern, with Barca now bigger underdogs than they were when they lost 8-2 in 2020.\xa0\n\nReal Madrid travel to San Siro to face Inter. Under Ancelotti, the team are exciting with Vinicius no longer fictitious.\n\nIt\u2019s Liverpool v Milan at Anfield, where we should all be thankful that Zlatan is back in the Champions League. Similarly we take time to purr over Messi\u2019s hat-trick against Bolivia.\n\nDomestically, we show some love to Sampaoli\u2019s Marseille. And in Serie A, is it too early to proclaim Mourinho\u2019s Roma as title challengers? Or to write Allegri\u2019s Juve out of the title race?\n\n\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\xa0\n\u2022 PART 1a: The Champions League and Europa League are back (02m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 1b: Moment of the weekend (04m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 2: Barcelona v Bayern Munich preview (08m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 3: Inter v Real Madrid preview (22m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 4: Liverpool v Milan preview (30m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 5: Europa League highlights (39m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 6: Serie A \u2013 the Mou train picks up speed (49m 30s)\n\nSIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR 33% OFF THE PRICE OF AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION\n\u2022\xa0theathletic.com/totally\n\xa0\nGET IN TOUCH:\n\u2022\xa0follow us on\xa0Instagram\n\u2022\xa0find us on\xa0Facebook\n\u2022 send us a\xa0tweet: @TheTotallyShow\n\xa0\nPARISH NOTICES:\n\u2022\xa0we\u2019re sponsored by\xa0Paddy Power\xa0- home of the Money Back Special\n\xa0\nREAD STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE:\n\u2022\xa0check out\xa0thetotallyfootballshow.com.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
