Episode 3539: PSG 5 – 4 Bayern Munich, A Love Letter To Football
Gorgeous goals, end to end attacks, atmosphere, non stop drama and two managers with the “moral courage” to trust in the talent on the field.

Miguel Delaney joins us to make sense of the mayhem and look ahead to the mirror image semi final between Arsenal – Atletico Madrid. Maybe we need the ugliness, to appreciate the beauty?
Plus there’s Kenny C, stimulated Spanish commentators, the control sample footballer and Kompany’s “more”.
