Cristiano Ronaldo walked out of Portugal camp after being an unused sub against Norway, and Portugal won all their games under Jorge Jesus anyway. Patrick and Neel break down the Ronaldo fallout, first looks at France under Zidane and Germany under Klopp, and the chaos of AFCON qualifying, where Ghana and Nigeria are in serious trouble.

In this episode:

· Portugal's four wins under Jorge Jesus and what the numbers say

· Ronaldo's walkout, his statement and whether he can be reintegrated

· Zidane's France: a slow start, the Belgium comeback and a more aggressive approach

· Klopp's Germany: two near-separate squads and over 40 players used

· AFCON 2027 qualifying: the CAF format, Nigeria, Ghana and the host nations
