Lethargic Lionesses, Bonmati’s Ballon d’Or, and the WSL Returns
Listen now
Description
After the friendlies with South Africa and Germany made the Lionesses look lethargic and disorganised, Ian Wright and Steph Houghton are a little worried about them ahead of next year's Euros. There were standouts, however, including Grace Clinton, who impressed both with her physicality and her ability to keep the standard over many games. Steph was at the Ballon d’Or this week, where Aitana Bonmati won her second in a row. She gives her verdict on who was best-dressed, before getting serious about flaws in the ceremony. Finally, with the WSL returning, they look ahead to arguably the biggest fixture of the weekend, which will see Arsenal travel to Manchester to face an impressive United side.
