Joe was joined by Elliott and David for the penultimate Tuesday URN Sport of the year. First up was Barcelona's 3-1 win over Juventus in the 2015 Champions League final.

The women's World Cup is also underway and the panel examined the tournament so far.

Also the subject of discussion was Wawrinka's shock win over Novak Djokovic in the French Open men's final. The result meant the world number one is still without a French Open title - the only grand slam still eluding him.

One of the final topics of the show was Bradley Wiggins who broke cycling's hour record on Sunday night, registering a mark of 54.526km.
