With City winning so easily that the home fans are reduced to cheering the shots of the opposing team, thank God at least Kevin de Bruyne is around to provide some emotion. Meanwhile their noisy neighbours are preparing for a busy summer.

Meanwhile Spurs christened their spectacular new stadium with a win against Crystal Palace on the same day they announced world-record profits: is it time now to share the wealth? Chelsea, the kings of yesterday, look wistfully across town with sadness in their eyes.

 

The big story of the week in European football revolved around the racist abuse of Juventus forward Moise Kean at Cagliari, and the strange post-match comments of Leonardo Bonucci, who suggested that Kean shared responsibility for what had happened. Tobias Jones joins us from Parma to discuss this episode and the responses in Italy and abroad.

Plus there’s Matip and the flat earthers, 773 urinals, and Sport Ireland’s powers to withhold funds from the FAI.
