The Matchbook is officially open.
In the inaugural episode, Seth reacts to PSG lifting yet another European trophy after beating Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup and asks whether anyone can actually stop Luis Enrique’s side this season.
Then, it’s time for a full La Liga preview. Can Barcelona make it three straight? Is José Mourinho the man to bring Real Madrid back to the top of Spain? Can Atlético Madrid keep pace? And after years of flirting with disaster, is this finally the season Sevilla goes down?
Plus, Seth embraces the beautiful chaos of the EFL Championship, checks in on Wrexham’s continued climb through English football and gives his early promotion and relegation picks.
Finally, we close with One Good Thing and One Bad Thing from around world football: Malawi’s incredible run at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations and yet another controversy surrounding FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
