Barcelona's 3-1 victory against Atlético Madrid kept them at the top of La Liga, but with Atleti missing a huge chance to close the gap on Spain's big boys, can we already write Diego Simeone's team out of the title race?

Remember Jhon Durán, Premier League fans? He might be pulling muscles rather than exactly tearing up trees in Istanbul, but here he added to his big-game highlights reel and delivered in the 95th minute of the biggest game of all: the Intercontinental Derby.

They reflect on Galatasaray's transformed midfield, who managed to take the fire out of the game, and discuss how Domenico Tedesco has been getting things so right at Fenerbahçe after an impressive start to the season. He's certainly doing better than his predecessor... To get involved on the Discord and enjoy ad-free episodes of On The Continent and more, head to patreon.com/footballramble and subscribe!
