S4 E10 - Loïs Openda's menacing style of play, Juventus' multi-faceted malaise, and Valencia's self-sabotage

Alasdair, Barlow and Michael discuss and analyse the latest European football news. The boys look at the Bundesliga's decidedly on-brand Matchday 16 goal rush, Empoli's flourishing youth academy, the wider significance of the most recent edition of the Madrid derby, Salis Abdul Samed's promising start to life at high-flying Lens and more. 1:40 - Which Lens players in particular can we expect to see play a key role as Franck Haise's side look to secure a place in Europe and perhaps even push for the title? / 14:38 - Why, in layman's terms, have Juventus been deducted fifteen points by the Italian Football Federation? / 32:18 - How have the dynamics of the Madrid derby evolved over the last decade or so? / 50:18 - What factors suggest that Thomas Letsch's Bochum side can avoid the drop and secure a third successive season in German football's top flight?
