Download JJ Gabriel to Real Madrid? And Auba's on fire!
John Bennett is joined by ESPN's Julien Laurens and Guillem Balague on this week's Euro Leagues. The team discuss Lionel Messi being called up for an Argentina farewell, and how Lens and Valencia have gone early in sacking their managers. Plus, Guillem explains why Mbappe, Vinicius and Konate rolled up their pre-match T-shirts intended to show solidarity for the people of Cueta.
Then, is Real Madrid loanee Franco Mastantuono good enough to play for Los Blancos, and could 15-year-old Manchester United player JJ Gabriel be destined for Madrid too? Former Arsenal stars Aubameyang and Gabriel Jesus can't stop scoring in Spain, and finally, we hear from SV Elversberg's young American winger Cole Campbell, on their fairytale start to the Bundesliga season.
