Episode 2269: Carabao Caoimhin, FIFA’s Choice
Caoimhin Kelleher didn’t save any penalties but his penalty-taking made the difference as Liverpool beat Chelsea to win their first League Cup in a decade.
Chelsea, though, are preoccupied with bigger questions surrounding their future under Roman Abramovich, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues despite the Chelsea owner’s alleged efforts for peace.
Rory Smith and Jonathan Wilson join us to discuss the League Cup final, Abramovich’s situation, and what FIFA should do next.
Bunch of reporting saying Roman Abramovich is now a peace maker. Without context, details of what he’s doing, it really isn’t clear what his role is and who he is speaking for. On Saturday we were being told he had no role in politics.
