Football Weekly Extra: City leave Italy bitterly

AC Jimbo has Sean Ingle, Scott Murray and Paolo Bandini in the pod for today's Football Weekly Extra.

Top of our agenda is the struggles - Arsenal aside - of the English sides in the Champions League. Manchester City were outplayed in Napoli, while Manchester United again made hard work of Benfica, and Chelsea's losing ways continued in Germany. Has the Premier League been taken down a notch or three?

Next, we speak to Sid Lowe in Spain about the Spanish side's goal glut, before looking ahead to the big games happening around Europe at the weekend.

Finally, we speculate on the whereabouts of the erstwhile Barry Glendenning, and wonder who'd play him - and the rest of the pod squad - when a major film studio makes his biopic.

As ever, leave you comments on the blog below, or head on over to our Facebook group. And if you just can't wait till we're back on Monday, check out Jimbo's European newspaper review
