Episode 3219: Rice Twice, Jover’s Assists, Madrid Comebacks, Prem XI Polemics, Hurling Has Red Fever

Declan Rice hit two of the sweetest free kicks you’ll ever see to help Arsenal to a 3-0 first leg lead over Real Madrid and he did it in spite of set piece coach Nicoal Jover.

We look at Arsenal’s brilliant performance, and Madrid’s record of comebacks in Europe.

Jamie Wall joins us in studio to chat about Cork’s unstoppable march to Munster and All-Ireland success.
