Episode 2935: Galway Triple It Up, Dortmund’s Devils, Ulster And Leinster Finals Preview

Michael Murphy isn’t too hopeful, and neither is Paul Flynn. We talk about last weekend’s excitement, next weekend’s potential stalemate, and Kerry/Clare and Dublin/Louth too.

We also hail Borussia Dortmund’s achievement in reaching the Champions League final, and we ponder who they’d rather face there – the devil you know, or the (probably better, dressed in white) devil you don’t.

And what makes Bayern think Erik ten Hag might be the man to close the gap?https://t.co/YKKZQ9DeuK pic.twitter.com/K4OXIg0PY2
