Salah hat-trick, Kvaratskhelia interview and Klopp's 44‑man Germany squad debated on Euro Leagues
September 24, 2026 15:21
On the latest Euro Leagues podcast John Bennett is joined by Julien Laurens and Archie Rhind‑Tutt. The team runs through a series of talking points from across Europe, including a notable post-match comment by Liam Rosenior and Jose Mourinho's behaviour after the Madrid derby.
They also debate Jurgen Klopp — referred to on the show as "The New One" — and whether he could get a tune out of Florian Wirtz within a 44‑man Germany squad, discuss Mohamed Salah's hat‑trick for Trabzonspor against Galatasaray, and review Freiburg's unbeaten start to the Bundesliga season.
The episode features a sit-down interview with PSG's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia conducted by Jules, and the panel considers his prospects in the Ballon d'Or conversation. Michael Olise's post-match interviews, described on the show as 'moody', are also discussed, as is Zinedine Zidane's role in taking control of the French squad.
