We recorded this show several hours before the sad news of Sven-Göran Eriksson’s death at the age of 76. We’ll share our memories of the manager who had such a huge impact on European football - and indeed Jimbo’s career - on Thursday’s Totally, and again when our Euro crew reassembles next week.

In the meantime, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Pol Ballus are here to take you through all the headlines from across the continent.
PSG’s scintillating start to their Ligue 1 campaign continued - while Lille, Monaco and Lens also maintained their perfect records.
Antonio Conte’s Napoli bounced back from their shock opening day 3-0 defeat with a 3-0 victory over Bologna - but Milan’s poor start continued as they were beaten at Parma.
The first weekend of the new Bundesliga season didn’t disappoint - including yet another Leverkusen late show and opening day victories for Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Plus, over in Spain Barcelona maintained their winning start under Hansi Flick while both Madrid sides registered 3-0 triumphs.
To life, Kaiser!
