John Bennett hosts Julien Laurens, James Horncastle and Guillem Balague on BBC Radio 5 Live to debate the Ballon D'or shortlist and the growing dominance of Spanish coaches in European football. The panel analyses the strange atmosphere at the Bernabeu despite Real Madrid beating Inter, and questions whether playing Trent Alexander-Arnold in midfield was a tactical error. They also examine the remarkable rise of Como into a Champions League contender and review the fortunes of Swedish champions Mjallby.

Breaking news interrupts the discussion as Fenerbahçe coach Ismail Kartal dramatically resigns after his team draws with Roma, sending shockwaves through the Turkish league.
