Lovely moment for local boy Antonio Vergara scoring his first senior goal for Napoli vs Chelsea. Amusingly at the weekend he was caught on camera in Napoli's game against Juve trying to get the referee - who didn't know who he was & just assumed he was foreign - to stop speaking to him in English

Two goal comeback in injury time for Juventus against Dortmund, after a two goal comeback to beat Inter at the weekend. 8 goals scored total across the two games. They're certainly not a great team right now. But they are a very entertaining one.

Sometimes may be good, sometimes may be sh*t. Today, @nickybandini.bsky.social explains to Dotun and @andybrassell.bsky.social why Gennaro Gattuso’s famous quote is very applicable to his Italy team. Plus, PSG have fallen out with Deschamps and France. New OTC 👇 lnk.to/otcpod

31 years after watching Italy lose a final on penalties on a big screen in my dad's home town, went back there yesterday to see his sister, my aunt, buried in the same cemetery where he is. Then watched England win a final on penalties together with my brother in an Irish pub in Bologna.

🦁 They've done it again. England left it uncomfortably late to beat Italy 2-1 in their semi-final. 👀 The Lionesses will play either Spain or Germany in the final. @maxrushden.bsky.social @beardedgenius.bsky.social @jordanjarrettbryan.bsky.social @nickybandini.bsky.social @nickames82.bsky.social

Always such a strange experience for me 🇮🇹 v 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. I've never cheered harder for an England goal than Chloe Kelly's in 2022 but I've probably never been more heartbroken by one than her goal tonight. Go on the Lionesses in the final ma bravissime pure le Azzurre. Un'estate inaspettata di Notti Magiche

Rarely more gutted for an Arsenal player to score. But gods she is magic

SEVEN?

Tomorrow's @footballweekly.bsky.social @beardedgenius.bsky.social @nickybandini.bsky.social @nickames82.bsky.social and Jordan Jarrett Bryan Any questions?

Wrighty mispronouncing Bonansea as Bonansegna is magic because that absolutely could be the punny headline in Italy if it stayed this way

ItalJuve. Again. An attack all made up of players who know each other's movements from club football has its advantages

Absolutely unhinged shootout.

Sempre lei 🇮🇹🇮🇹⚽

Out of the group is out of the group. So much better than 2 (or 3) years ago. 🇮🇹 Cantore looked much happier on the right too

🦁 The Lionesses put in a 'narrative changing performance' to thrash the Netherlands 4-0. 😬 PSG comfortably eased past Real Madrid. 🤝 The panel cover all the latest transfer stories. @maxrushden.bsky.social @barryglendenning.bsky.social @paul-c-watson.bsky.social @nickybandini.bsky.social

Girelli what a flipping hit! 🇮🇹

All is not well at Inter. Out of the CWC, star players clashing, and a hangover from last season’s collapse. So, how do they turn it around? @radiodotun.bsky.social, @andybrassell.bsky.social & @nickybandini.bsky.social answer that. Plus, Xabi’s Madrid and Nick Woltemade in demand 👇 lnk.to/OTC
