This week, we begin with a great comeback performance from Nigerian athlete Tobi Amusan, who won silver at the 2025 Tokyo Athletic Championship.

Also, we look at the trial of Ghana international Thomas Party, who pleaded not guilty to all five rape charges against him.
And we discuss matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League as Marcus Rashford lit up St James Park, scoring a brace to inspire Barcelona to a 2-1 win over Newcastle.

We wrap this week’s edition with the Ballon d’Or ceremony as Yamal, Dembele and Raphinha eye the prestigious award.
