After a melee at Marseille on the opening weekend of the season, we've followed it up with a disagreement at Dortmund! Mark Bellingham (father of Jobe and Jude) got in a spat with BVB Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl. And things weren't much better on the pitch, so where do Dortmund go from here?

Dotun, Andy & JJ are here to explain all of that. Plus, PSG have started with two wins on the board, but their performances have looked far from convincing. With the rest of Ligue 1 smelling blood, how can Luis Enrique get the Parisians back on track? And while Atlético Madrid have spent big this summer, they've picked up just one point in their first two games. What's going wrong and how do they get back to winning ways?
