Erling Haaland is not human. That we can all agree on, right? Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and James Sharman try to make sense of Sunday’s Manchester Derby that saw the Norwegian and Phil Foden become the first pair of teammates to each score a hat-trick in a Premier League match. Cristiano Ronaldo didn’t play but of course Dunny had us talking CR7 for 15 minutes. North London is red, and no one seems surprised that Arsenal are flying because they were all swooned by how Amazon's All Or Nothing documentary portrayed Mikel Arteta. Conor Gallagher burned Crystal Palace as Chelsea find their footing under Graham Potter. Liverpool look like a shell of the title contenders we expected Jurgen Klopp to field this season, but Sharms is handling it better than you'd expect. Wolves sack Bruno Lage, but Dunny doesn't read Portuguese well enough to know who his replacement will be. Craig is thrilled the Vancouver Whitecaps still have a shot at making the MLS Cup Playoffs. Wonger and Dunny make repeated multi-sport references which sparks a verbal altercation between Jimmy and Jeff Cole about Muhammad Ali's ranking amongst the greastest boxers of all time. A great time had by all! Unless of course you're a Man United fan...

The international break is over for Canada‘s men’s national team, but the CanMNT talk doesn’t stop! We chat with writer Josh Kloke of The Athletic about his new book The Voyageurs: The Canadian Men’s Team’s Soccer Team’s Quest to Reach The World Cup. From Josh's journey in writing the book across Canada's CONCACAF Octagon topping World Cup qualifying run, to John Herdman's 26 men on the plane to Qatar, and the importance of Doneil Henry to the chemistry of the change room, Dunny, Craig, Jimmy & Wonger leave no CanMNT stone unturned. There's more jersey drama in international soccer. The Premier League is back with two massive fixtures on the cards in the North London Derby on Saturday and the Manchester Derby on Sunday. That marked the return of Footy Picks and the West Ham bias of Craig and the underdog blindness of Wonger.

It's another all action pod after Canada held their own against Uruguay in Bratislava in Tuesday's friendly, the boys channel Bob Ross to paint a rosy picture for CanMNT ahead of Qatar 2022. Questions fly around who will complete a Canadian midfield that is certain to include Stephen Eustáquio, but will Atiba Hutchinson, Jonathan Osorio, Samuel Piette or Ismaël Koné be alongside him? Wonger is worried about Luka Modric and Croatia after their Nations League showing, while Dunny sips Polish beer that ironically sparks a conversation about Moroccan players Canadian fans should be afraid of when they face Canada in Group F. Craig regales wholesome stories featuring his old national team chums. Sebastian Giovinco also tries to pull a fast one... on Toronto FC. And, inspired by TFC's Federico Bernardeschi, the coolest members go all Toronto street slang on their square podmates. The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

A weekend without club football left Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest and James Sharman with no shortage of talking points as they recklessly speculate which of Canada's upcoming opposition will give CanMNT the most trouble, and how Russia have set up fixtures against internal states. The sudden geopolitical shift in topics led to discussion of the Czech Republic's official name change to "Czechia", which stunned Sharms. Craig can't believe how good Luka Modric still is for Croatia at age 37. And shockingly, Dunny didn't even speak about Cristiano Ronaldo's goal-less 90 minute performance for Portugal. CanMNT's approach against Uruguay on Tuesday, Gareth Southgate's "crisis" and USMNT's poor form are also discussed at length, as is Ballou Tabla's worldie for CPL Playoff bound Atletico Ottawa, and Chicharito's playoff chance boosting brace for the LA Galaxy in MLS's lone weekend fixture. England lose to Italy again, relegating the Three Lions to the second division, which has the English media circling Gareth Southgate and many people asking "what IS the Nations League?"

Craig tells some incredible stories about being amongst the first soccer teams from this side of the iron curtain to play in the old Soviet Union, barnstorming around Russia and Ukraine with his old Ipswich Town teammate Sergei Baltacha in the late 1980's.

They laughed about some of the early days at TFC, described what it was like to play for Mo Johnston, and just how bad it was to play on that OG turf, each and every day. Now the master coach of both the men’s and women’s teams at Concordia University, Sutton tells the crew about the depth of talent playing in Quebec, how the pathway to the CPL has kept players home instead of heading south chasing NCAA opportunities, and what it was like working with Jesse Marsch at the Montreal Impact.

James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and Dan Wong still fill your ear holes for nearly an hour, despite there not being any Premier League matches to preview after the news that all 10 matches have been postponed this weekend. Instead they answer thrilling questions like: What country would you want to be a football director in? Ahead of the World Cup, is it better to be playing at top form for a club team that’s battling every match, or a team like CF Montreal that’s flying? Craig, was Jimmy the most naked of all your teammates? If you were a toilet and not a person, what would be the worst country to be a toilet in?

With Thomas Tuchel being let go from Chelsea, Craig Forrest, James Sharman, and Jimmy Brennan play "Who's up next and Why?" and debate the reason for Tuchel's firing. Producer Dan Wong and JC join the crew to predict the outcome of the EPL season four weeks late, or right on Footy Prime time, and the boys lament the career path of Canadian players and managers.

If you've lost sleep wondering how Portugal will handle Cristiano Ronaldo at the World Cup in Qatar, this is the show for you. Sid Seixeiro joins the crew to laugh it up with his old Score teammates James Sharman and Brendan Dunlop, about the old days at theScore Television Network and the transition from covering sports daily to morning TV as the co-host of Breakfast Television on CityTV. Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and producer Dan Wong love Sid's unprompted rants, of which there are plenty. Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag may have done Fernando Santos a favour ahead of the World Cup and the crew debate what role Ronaldo will have in a Portugal squad that is incredibly talented from top to bottom. And naturally Craig and Jimmy try to decipher whether Sid or Dunny is the more athletic Portuguese-Canadian charity tournament star. The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and James Sharman recap a wild derby weekend that saw CF Montreal recover from conceding two goals in the first 7 minutes, to beat Toronto FC 4-3 dealing a massive blow to TFC’s hopes of making the MLS Cup Playoffs. The crew discuss the glaring weaknesses that have hurt TFC’s late Italian influenced surge. Manchester United’s ended Arsenal’s perfect season with their best performance of the Erik ten Hag era, thanks to a debut goal from new star Antony and a stellar return to form for Marcus Rashford. Dunny is worried about what Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation means for Portugal at this winter’s World Cup. No one envies Fernando Santos. Nottingham Forest’s loss to a reeling Bournemouth has Jimmy worried that Steve Cooper’s days are numbered, and the crew agree that the writing is on the wall for Brendan Rodgers. Craig is furious with VAR for denying West Ham a point at Stamford Bridge. Sharms is content with a Merseyside Derby draw, because we were all entertained in the process. Jonathan David and Theo Corbeanu put their names on this scoresheet this weekend, which had the boys talking CanMNT, and did you know Joe Hart was Celtic’s goalkeeper?

James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop react to Thursday's Transfer Deadline Day deals, and the incredible amounts of money spent by Premier League clubs in this summer transfer window. More than £2 billion ($3.03 million CAD) changed hands, seeing players like Antony join Manchester United and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang return to London to join Chelsea. But Cristiano Ronaldo did not leave Man Utd, despite a summer of speculation that he did not want to stay and miss out on a season of Champions League football. Leicester City's reluctance to spend money has Brendan Rodgers calling out his owners, and the crew wondering if he's the next man to lose his job. Would he get another big job after LCFC? Chelsea fans will have to wait to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in Chelsea blue as he recovers from a broken jaw suffered during a home invasion in Spain, that led to a "more money, more problems" conversation about what footballers, like Paul Pogba, have to deal with off the pitch that people often don't consider when criticizing what they're doing on the pitch. Producer Dan Wong and Jimmy share near death experiences, that they laugh through the entire time. Spoiler alert: pizzas and peeing ones pants are themes. And Footy Picks sees the boys sit on the fence chasing draws and underdogs. The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV. Don't miss a second of the action!

Transfer Deadline Day is one of the most exciting days for any soccer fan. It also means when it passes, we can actually have a clear picture of what level teams should be at, and most importantly, the countless transfer rumours and click bait stories stop. Temporarily. James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop react to Toronto FC's 2-2 draw with the LA Galaxy in the Greg Vanney Derby. Riqui Puig's wonder goal has the crew gushing. The deadline day rumours of Neymar to Chelsea have the crew speculating if the Brazilian would be as effective a superstar in the Premier League as Erling Haaland, who remarkably is on pace to score 76 goals this season after bagging his second hat-trick in as many games. The boys try to figure out how Premier League defenses could plot to stop the big Norwegian, and Scott Parker's poorly timed sacking has them all sympathetic. Craiger went to a 225 year-old cathedral and the organist played "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles". There's video on the @footy_prime Twitter account. Producer Dan Wong shares a mic with Forrest which made for an interesting audio dynamic, and an entertaining mail bag read. And nobody listens to Dunny, or wore yellow on Transfer Deadline Day.

Brand new Canadian Premier League commissioner and CEO of Canada Soccer Business, Mark Noonan, chats with James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop on this week's interview series episode. The veteran sports executive speaks about his impressions of the CPL, his excitement for the new role, and the potential he sees in a country he believes has more than any other in the sport. Having previously worked with Major League Soccer, the US Soccer Federation and as CEO of Accra Hearts of Oak SC in Ghana, Noonan brings a wealth of experience to the 4 year old CPL. He tells the crew how a simple LinkedIn message led to dinner with a King and a move to Africa, explains why the labour issues Canada Soccer finds itself in are a sign of growing up, and ranks the creation of a women's league high on the priority list of targets.

There's a new member of Craig Forrest's "I conceded 9 goals in a game once" club! Liverpool put nine past Bournemouth's Mark Travers on Saturday, adding the 23 year-old Irishman to a list of goalkeepers that only includes our beloved Craig and two Southampton keepers that have picked the ball out of the back of their own net nine times in a Premier League game. Craig had no shortage of things to talk about with Brendan Dunlop and Dan Wong. Any concern for Liverpool's season after Monday's loss at Old Trafford dissolved Saturday faster than Manchester City took control of their visit from Crystal Palace, as Erling Haaland bagged his first hat-trick in a Man City shirt, and his 13th league triple. He's only 22 years old. How terrifying is that? Dunny is worried about Steven Gerrard after Aston Villa dropped the Dunlop-Forrest derby, losing 1-0 to West Ham. Tottenham and Arsenal have the crew thinking the Top 4 picture won't look clear until spring time. Wonger wants access to all the GPS tracking bibs that agents never want other clubs to see, and wishes Craig had the opportunity to play on the pristine pitches today's players enjoy. We hope you enjoy Dunny's Italian impersonations and his explanation of Portugal's banned name list. Toronto FC did the double over Charlotte FC with another goal each from designated players Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi. CF Montreal firmly have their hands on an MLS Cup Playoff spot, while Lucas Cavallini lost his head against Nashville SC as the Vancouver Whitecaps desperately try to stay in the playoff hunt out west.

James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and producer Dan Wong react to the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and debate the age old conspiracy that hot balls are used to give us favourable matchups like, "Robert Lewandowski's Barcelona vs Bayern Munich" and "Borussa Dortmund face the former face of the club, Erling Haaland, and Manchester City." Dunny praises Newcastle and West Ham for their transfer policies this summer, and surprisingly is more excited than Craig about Lucas Paqueta turning up at West Ham. Sharms is a heightest and favours big frontmen like 6'4" Alexander Isak. There are notable signs that Craig, Jimmy & Wonger are physically recovering from a great night out at a popular advertisers party. The Canadian Premier League unveiled new commissioner Mark Noonan Thursday, which led to a debate about how many clubs is the right number for the CPL and if there could be more than one club in Toronto. And the crew chat with Vanessa Morbi, VP of marketing at FuboTV Canada about being the new player in Canada's soccer market, as the home of the Premier League, Serie A and more.

There's really nothing off limits for our crew, and just like you, we never know where the show is going to take us. James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Brendan Dunlop, Jimmy Brennan and producer Dan Wong start by reacting to Manchester United's shocking win over Liverpool Monday at Old Trafford. No one actually thinks Jürgen Klopp will be sacked, but that result led to the boys sharing their worst story about being fired from a job. Spoiler alert: food theft is involved in multiple stories. Dele Alli's move to Besiktas and fall from the heights of Tottenham and England have Jimmy and Craig explain the rollercoaster that is a player's "love of the game" and relive some moments of rejection that fuelled their determination. Dunny's love of baseball is dying, and the crew debate the spectrum of acceptance for bandwagon fans. Wonger's take on mascots probably shouldn't surprise you, and he does read from the Mail Sack which led to another award winning rankings list. And JC delivers a killer opening that will make you wish you listened to more Australian terrestrial radio. The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

On this week's interview series episode, James Sharman, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and Craig Forrest catch up with Craig's old Ipswich Town and Canadian men's national team teammate Frank Yallop. They laugh about the good old days and what it would take for Ipswich to make it back to the Premier League, their experiences with Sir Bobby Robson, and some coaches that taught Frank exactly how not to coach. Managing David Beckham when he arrived in Major League Soccer and the challenges that presented for an LA Galaxy organization that wasn't quite prepared for just how Hollywood things would get with Becks now MLS' star attraction, made for some great conversation. If you listen closely you can hear how envious Jimmy, Sharms and Dunny were to hear that Frank was rubbing elbows with Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Brooke Shields and countless Hollywood A-listers. Now the head coach and sporting director at USL Championship club Monterey Bay FC, Frank talks about the growth of the sport in the United States and the fulfillment he gets from building teams from the ground up. As well as the pathway that exists for Canadian Premier League players, like Morey Doner who joined MBFC this season, and how well he thinks CanMNT will do in Qatar with stars like Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, under the guidance of John Herdman.

Three weeks in to the Premier League season, and it's quickly shaping up to be one of the most entertaining and unpredictable seasons in recent memory. Brendan Dunlop, James Sharman and Craig Forrest stumble through the weekend's action, in ways only they can. From Newcastle's performance against Manchester City, turning St. James' Park back into the fortress it once was, with Nick Pope quickly becoming Craig's favourite shot stopper, to the crew praising Jesse Marsch for getting it right at Leeds and stunning Chelsea at Elland Road, they get to it all. Sharman admits he's never met a Finnish person and hasn't watched the last episode of All Or Nothing: Arsenal because he loves Mikel Arteta and doesn't want it to end, even though Gabriel Jesus has yet to make him a true believer. Dunny is adamant that Gooners have ruined tequila for everybody with that Saliba song. Craig credits Graham Potter for how sharp Brighton have been to start the season, but doesn't want to talk about West Ham. Dunny isn't as depressed about Villa's loss to Crystal Palace as you might expect and gives some background on his racecar driving father. And Wonger was watching Jimmy's Nottingham Forest instead of his beloved Brentford, proving what we already suspected - that Wonger loves our happiness more than he loves his own club. And the crew are wavering on their belief that Toronto FC can make the MLS Cup Playoffs this season after losing to Inter Miami Saturday night, while CF Montreal and the Vancouver Whitecaps pulled off results that very much make them look like playoff teams. Loads of goals, and loads of laughs on this episode!

James Sharman, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and producers Dan Wong and Jeff Cole stumble through the biggest talking points heading in to another big Premier League weekend. With Manchester United hosting Liverpool in the headliner of Matchday 3, United fans have planned more protests outside Old Trafford against the club's American owners. The boys debate why the Glazers get it so bad from the United faithful, and why fan expectations are different towards soccer billionaire owners in comparison to North American teams. No one thinks Cristiano Ronaldo will actually move to Borussia Dortmund. Jimmy explains how he would approach dealing with a player like CR7 in his dressing room, and why he gets a hard time every time he attempts to get a pedicure. Craig is away. Sharms is less grumpy, and has a great parlay play on Footy Picks. And Covid has finally caught Dunny, relegating him to the basement. Good show. Great fun!

James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop collectively pick their jaws up off the floor after Toronto FC left back Domenico Criscito scored one of the best goals in Major League Soccer history, during TFC‘s 2-2 draw with the New England Revolution, Wednesday night at BMO Field. Dunny was in the stands and caught the moment on video. The rest of the crew would never have their phone out at a game. Adrian Rabiot’s mother cost him a move to Manchester United, which led to a conversation about parental influence on players. Juventus have counter offered USMNT international Weston McKennie, which leads to a discussion about United’s “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks” transfer policy. The boys debate whether a transfer to Newcastle United is more appealing than a move to Man Utd, and what Red Devils supporters expect from new owners, should the Glazers sell off a piece of the pie. With the Premier League celebrating it’s 30th anniversary, we celebrate our favourite goalkeeper and test Craig’s memory about that historic 1992/93 season. Producer Dan Wong reads from the mail sack which sends Craig down story time road about Dennis Bergkamp, and Jimmy and Craig hang Sharman out to dry, moving just how hard it is to be a television/podcast host working with former professional athletes.

Friend of the show, Jonathan Osorio joined James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Brendan Dunlop and producer Dan Wong on this week's interview series episode. The 30 year-old is having quite the season for both club and country and shared insights into what it's been like at Toronto FC since the arrivals of Lorenzo Insigne, Federico Bernadeschi and Domenico Criscito. Oso talks about the impact the Italians have had on the team, the benefits and challenges he's found in adapting his own game through the ups and downs of this season, how excited he is to play alongside Richie Laryea again, and the belief the squad has as the team heads in to the most important stretch of the MLS regular season. You might be surprised to learn who has control of the music in the change room. Sharms refuses to talk about Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, or Darwin Núñez's red card. And the crew celebrated Craig Forrest on the 30th anniversary of the first ever Premier League game by quizzing him to name as many of the 22 players that were on the pitch that day when Ipswich Town played Aston Villa to a 1-1 draw. Craig impressed himself by how sharp his memory was. The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV. Don't miss a second of the action!

No shortage of storylines from the second weekend of the Premier League season! Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest and Jimmy Brennan start with Tottenham's stoppage time comeback at Stamford Bridge that saw managers Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel pulled off each other. They debate whether Chelsea v Tottenham is now the Prem's best rivalry, highlight where it went wrong for Chelsea in the second half and credit Harry Kane and Spurs for a comeback that made Kalidou Koulibaly's worldie feel like it was a week ago. Manchester United fans won't be able to forget Saturday's capitulation at Brentford soon enough. Producer Dan Wong was absolutely buzzing seeing his Bees pull off one of the most unexpected upsets in Premier League history. Things are so bad at Old Trafford that the club are reportedly exploring their options to terminate Cristiano Ronaldo's contract. Jimmy & Craig explain how difficult that actually is and why it would be a bad move for United. Nottingham Forest's first Premier League win at home over Forrest's West Ham has Jimmy over the moon, and the crew debate whether Arsenal can keep up this form to contend for a Top 4 spot come the end of the season. The massive money spent on Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi has paid off as Toronto FC pulled off a late win over Portland Timbers, on the same night CF Montreal survive the heat in Houston. And JC has invented a new character that's as bold and full of life as Ted Lasso. But not Ted Lasso, obviously. The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

Toronto FC return to BMO Field for the first time since "that game against Charlotte" Saturday night to host MLS powerhouse, Portland Timbers. TFC insider Michael Singh, from The Parleh, gave James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop the inside scoop on all things TFC. From the Reds chances of making the MLS Cup Playoffs, to adjusting to life with Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi, to the future of Ayo Akinola and the form of Jesús Jiménez, and even to Bob Bradley's eventual successor as head coach, the crew get to it all. The prospect of Michael Bradley becoming a manager when his playing career is over led to a conversation about coaching badges and ideal situations to learn the trade. Then Sharms left us for his real job and the guys really had fun and relaxed, giving you another segment of "Teaching Wonger Soccer Things That You Already Know", and of course an installment of Footy Picks, ahead of the second Premier League weekend of the season.

Imagine meeting one of the most influential sports people of all time, and then watching one of the greatest athletes ever play one of her final matches, all on the same day! That’s how James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and producer Dan Wong spent their Wednesday. The crew attended Tennis Canada‘s inaugural UNMATCHED: Gender Equity in Sports Conference and listened to a series of panels featuring inspiring and progressive women in sports, which included Canada‘s Minister of Defense, Olympic gold medal winning goalkeeper Stephanie Labbé, and tennis icon Billie Jean King. They even got their picture taken with her and shared some laughs, before watching Serena Williams play in the National Bank Open, in what was her final match on Canadian soil. That all lead to a considerably more thoughtful and deep hearted series of conversations than you’re used to hearing on our big midweek episode. Jimmy talked about his experiences as a modern day manager, wanting to prioritize the person over the player, and understanding why the practises that he and Craig experienced playing in England in the 1990s, largely driven by intimidation and fear, would not translate to today’s game. The boys also react to the MLS All-Stars beating the Liga MX All-Stars in the 2022 MLS All-Star game in Minnesota. Unsurprisingly, Dunny is a big fan of the format. Barcelona‘s financial troubles and the potential free agency of new signings Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié have the crew scratching their heads, and Craig & Jimmy try to imagine what it would be like to be in that situation. Chelsea’s potential double swoop of Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is intriguing, and Craig admits he hates the transfer window.

Tuesday's interview show was without a guest this week. But if you've listened to Footy Prime before, you know that James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and producers Dan Wong and Jeff Cole, never have a shortage of things to talk about. They go around the horn asking each other questions you're unlikely to hear on any other podcast. Their attendance at Tennis Canada's inaugural UNMATCHED Gender Equity in Sports Conference on Wednesday has the crew excited to watch Serena Williams play, and that leads to a long winded discussion about where she ranks amongst the greatest athletes of all-time, and who cracks their personal Top 5 list. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Pelé couldn't all make it. They also name their most embarrassing injury, who their first celebrity crush was, and Dunny strong arms Craig in to renting out a movie theatre for a community group to watch Easter Sunday, featuring Mrs. Dunlop.

Opening weekend of a brand new English Premier League season left Brendan Dunlop, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and James Sharman with so much to talk about, we literally delivered the longest weekend recap episode in show history. Cristiano Ronaldo had all the headlines before Manchester United's 2-1 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion, but CR7 couldn't steal the headlines once he came off the bench. Erik ten Hag's start at Old Trafford began with a punch to the gut, courtesy of BHAFC's Pascal Gross, who is addicted to scoring against Man Utd. Erling Haaland got off to a flying start as Man City ruined Craig Forrest's Sunday. Naturally our favourite goalkeeper had a lot to say about how David Moyes will have to manage goalkeepers Łukasz Fabiański and Alphonse Areola this season. Jimmy finds new ways to be clever with words, despite Nottingham Forest's disappointing start to life back in the Premier League. Despite Darwin Núñez's dazzling start to life at Liverpool, Sharms is miserable and reveals a deep disdain for use of the traditional German character eszett, and the Spanish eñe. Dunny is deflated by Aston Villa's season opening loss to Bournemouth, though the rest of the crew back Steven Gerrard to get it right. Wonger is hilariously optimistic about Brentford's chances this season. The boys think that Bayern Munich have already won the Bundesliga after throttling Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt, on the same weekend Jonathan David lit up Ligue 1 with Lille and Lionel Messi scored a marvelous bicycle kick goal.
