PSG are Champions of Europe but is French football broke?

By Global

PSG are on top of the world after winning the Champions League but has their Euro domination masked their domestic league's ongoing financial crisis? Gabby and Mark speak to Global Sports Correspondent for The New York Times, Tariq Panja.

Former Chelsea and Nigeria footballer, John Obi Mikel, joins us in the studio ahead of the Club World Cup - kicking off later this month. Are we guilty of failing to appreciate how fans outside of Europe feel about it and would players actually sit and rest if they weren't dragged off to yet another tournament?

Plus, Gabby and Mark react to Simon Yates' historic Giro D'Italia victory and Alexander Bublik shocking Jack Draper at the French Open.
