Hi sports fans, it’s On The Continent time! Pleasure to have you with us. We begin with Antoine Griezmann and Neymar, who incurred the wrath of their respective clubs after not reporting for training. Is this a sign they’re both off to the Camp Nou? Listen on to find out.

Over in Italy, James praises Napoli’s recent transfer business and what King Carlo is building down south. However, James believes the strongest title challenge will come from further north, in the form of Antonio Conte’s Inter.

We also squeeze in some chat on the US’ World Cup triumph and UEFA President Alexander Ceferin’s potential plan to change Champions League qualification.
