New-look Champions League is here, while Kane bags yet another Bayern hat-trick

Jimbo’s joined by James Horncastle, Pol Ballús, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford Bloor to round up the welcome return to domestic action across the continent. 

Barcelona extended their perfect start in La Liga under Hansi Flick with a 4-1 victory at Girona, while Real Madrid and Atleti both won to keep up the pressure – including first goals for Conor Gallagher and Julián Alvarez.

Harry Kane’s been doing Harry Kane things – scoring his fifth Bayern hat-trick as they hammered Holstein Keil 6-1 to make it three wins from three under Vincent Kompany in the Bundesliga. Dortmund kept up the early pressure with their own 4-2 triumph over Heidenheim. 

AC Milan finally showed up to the party with their first three points under Paulo Fonseca in Serie A – plus Napoli are flying after their 4-0 win at Cagliari. That Hellas Verona defeat feels like a long time ago now…

Meanwhile in Ligue 1, PSG came from behind in their 3-1 victory against Brest to maintain their perfect start – and Marseille continue to impress under Roberto De Zerbi. 

Plus – it’s matchday one in the new look Champions League! We take a look at some of the standout fixtures over the next few days – including Milan v Liverpool and Man City v Inter.
