Spanish football takes centre stage this morning as we look ahead to a huge week in the Champions League.

Enda Coll & Matthew Brennan are joined by author Richard Fitzpatrick to unpack José Mourinho’s return to the Real Madrid hot seat, the “old ghosts” of his first spell, and how one Troy Parrott goal for Real Betis turned a big night in Seville into a serious banana skin.

There’s also a deep dive on Atlético Madrid’s Julian Álvarez saga — a transfer soap opera that’s turning ugly — plus why Hansi Flick’s Barcelona look electric again, and whether this could finally be their year in Europe.
