Maz Farookhi is joined by ESPN's Julien Laurens and German football expert Rafa Honigstein for this week's Euro Leagues. The team reflect on a turbulent week for Julian Alvarez at Atletico Madrid, and with Barcelona seemingly out of the running, does that open the door for Arsenal?
Then, we hear more about Musiala's condition which saw him collapse in consecutive friendlies for Bayern last week. How have the club kept it private for such a long time, and is there a long-term concern over Musiala's career?
Schalke and ex-Plymouth Argyle head coach Miron Muslić joins the pod to discuss Schalke's promotion to the Bundesliga, the signing of fellow Bosnian Edin Džeko, and how Loris Karius has turned his career around at the club.
Finally, Jules and Raf look at who might be best-placed to challenge Bayern domestically this season.

This week, former Manchester United, Sheffield United and Portsmouth striker Danny Webber submits three stories from his football career.
Did Webber really install security cameras and fingerprint entry access to join an exclusive Sheffield United dressing room society? Did former Chelsea manager Avram Grant nickname him "World Wide Webber" after being impressed by his football knowledge? Or did Neil Warnock leave a voicemail pleading with him to ignore his reputation and sign for Sheffield United?
Armed with photographs, football knowledge and plenty of suspicion, Karel and Anita investigate every claim before Webber returns to reveal the truth.
Karel Prince: Lie Detector is presented by Karel Prince and Anita Abayomi and is a Sport Social Studios production for BBC Sounds.
