Grammy Award winning musician Marcus Mumford joins Rog to talk all things music and football. Marcus reflects on the release of Mumford & Sons’ new album Prizefighter and the creative process behind it. He opens up about the pain of England’s semifinal heartbreaks, his deep connection to AFC Wimbledon’s supporter-led rebirth, and how that club’s fight for survival still shapes his identity as a fan. Marcus also goes deeper into his England fandom, including how England's World Cup schedule shaped Mumford & Sons' summer tour. Plus, he explains why he believes Jude Bellingham could be the player who finally changes England’s fortunes.

European Nights returns as Rog and Rory Smith look ahead to the second legs of the Champions League knockout playoff round. They begin in Lisbon, where alleged racist abuse directed at Vinícius Júnior during Real Madrid’s game against Benfica led to a stoppage and sparks a wider conversation about accountability, institutional response, and whether football is doing enough to protect its players. Then it’s on to Istanbul, where Galatasaray’s emphatic win over Juventus spotlights Turkish spending power and deepens concerns about the broader state of Italian football. Finally, they turn to the Europa Conference League, where Crystal Palace were held to a draw by HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and Oliver Glasner’s call for fans to “stay humble” becomes part of the conversation after the first leg. Plus, Rory delivers his latest continental culinary recommendation from Istanbul.
