Host Matt Spiro is joined by regular guest and Ligue 1 expert Andy Scott – and there’s a debut this week for the distinguished French commentator Julien Brun. One of French television’s most recognisable voices after working for TF1, DAZN, Amazon Prime and beIN Sports, Julien gets embarrassed when Matt calls him ‘the French Martin Tyler’. But he duly shows his class by providing shrewd analysis of Monaco 0-1 Paris FC, Rennes 4-1 Strasbourg and PSG 1-0 Nice. Julien does however lose badly to Andy in the PSG/Bayern Munich trivia section.
