Episode 3527: Skulls for the Skull Throne
PSG and Atletico Madrid are in the semis, Liverpool and Barcelona are mounted on the skull throne.
We talk through the aftermath of the first two quarter-finals. In the end, has Arne Slot been a bit too much “I Believe in Sports Science” and not enough “Blood for the Blood God”? And will Barcelona ever tire of getting knocked out of the Champions League in easily-avoidable ways?
Rather than listening to their power-hungry doctors, Ken today advises football coaches to read the Book of Ecclesiastes.
Jonathan Wilson – a man of the Book – joins us from Liverpool to talk about PSG. Just what is it that is making PSG so much better than everyone else? Are there lessons there for the fresh rebuild Liverpool must now undertake? And does he have any words of consolation for his long-term admirer, Viktor Orban?
