This weekend's La Liga action was marred by a dark events after the death of a man following clashes between sets of ultras in Madrid.

The man, who was a Deportivo de la Coruna supporter, was pronounced dead shortly before the club took on champions Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.

Arrests have been made, but the reaction of the Spanish league to the unfolding events has come into question.

To discuss this and more, Ben Lyttleton joined us as always on a Monday to review the weekend's continental action.

"This morning, there was an emergency meeting of the anti-violence committee in Spain. But no one from Atletico Madrid went and no one from the federation - specifically the President of the Spanish FA - didn't go either. So no one is taking this as serious as they should," he said.  

Ben also looked at the crisis at Borussia Dortmund at the bottom of the Bundesliga as the fans are starting to show their dissent towards the club and manager Jurgen Klopp.
