The season-defining story from each of Europe's top five leagues

And now for something completely different (sort of).

This week's Squawka Talker tackles one of the biggest questions in football right now: how does Pep Guardiola make Manchester City's history-makers even better? 

BUT, looking beyond the Prem, each member of the team has been assigned one of the other divisions among Europe's top five leagues. Their task? To pick out the biggest story of the 2018/19 season in the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1.

Against all odds, one team member avoided making everything about Barcelona. Elsewhere, someone cheated and picked three stories, while another just spent way too much time on Wikipedia. Listen to this week's bumper edition (we overran on time again), where all will be revealed.
