Episode 871: Ronaldo Looking For Love, Serene Juve, Man City’s Shock And Awe, Corbyn’s Istanbul
Eoin is puzzled by the Real Madrid fans’ lack of appreciation for Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been talking nostalgically about his time in Manchester, where fans of a different mentality didn’t whistle him all the time.

£35million!
Manchester City have agreed a deal with Benfica for the signing of goalkeeper Ederson Moraes.
