    Champions League Goals, Red Cards, and Dreams Come True

    With two games still to go, this year’s Champions League quarterfinals are making a case for being the best in recent memory. Musa and Ryan begin with Barcelona losing 6-4 on aggregate to PSG (02:48), where the goals and red cards flowed at a wonderfully consistent rate and Ousmane Dembélé scored his third goal of the season and second against his former club. Dortmund will be PSG’s opponents, having progressed to the semifinal for the first time since 2013, after an unbelievable game at the Westfalenstadion (23:36).

Excellent pod

Just found this pod and it is my new favorite soccer podcast. Great analysis and two guys that are “positive first”, which is so far gone in todays media. Everyone should check this out if they love the beautiful game.

A welcoming place for a novice fan

A Dash of Dyche
Curries and corners

Ryan and Musa are such an enjoyable, generous, funny, and insightful duo. They keep the conversation elevated yet accessible for me as a novice fan diving into games on various platforms. I have like 10 podcasts I listen to weekly, and Stadio quickly jumped to the top of the table, relegating something else from my regular listening. And Musa’s laugh is a delicious cup of coffee in front of a fireplace on the cold mornings in these contentious tiimes.

Old Friends I’ve Never Met

I’ve been listening to Stadio for nearly 4 years now. I listen to almost every episode because of Ryan and Musa’s wit, intelligence and willingness to discuss soccer in the broader context of society. There are many places to get real time “analysis” of European soccer matches, but their perspectives and love of the game with all of its joys and flaws brings me back every time. They are my parasocial European friends from Uni where we could talk football or just life. Don’t change, keep laughing and stay safe and well.
