On The Continent - A European Football Podcast17 Sep

We’re gonna score five more than you

There's something of the Kevin Keegan about Hansi Flick's Barcelona. 33 goals scored in their opening seven games of the season. Yes, you heard that right. Thirty-three! Their goalscoring exploits are without doubt the best in Europe, but their ability to keep the ball out of the net? Well, that's a different question...

Tom Allnutt makes his OTC debut alongside Dotun and Andy to take a look at Barcelona's entertainers. Plus, it's a winning start for Sunderland in the Europa League, but will this be the year that English dominance of the competition comes to an end? And it's all-out chaos at Marseille as OM start the season in atrocious fashion. What has happened to that once great European giant?
