Description
It's time to talk football, ladies and gents! Back with a brand new Friday episode, Tommi and Ruairi are ready to dive deep in everything Champions League, Premier League and Serie A related. We start off by covering Salernitana finding themselves out of the drop zone for the first time in over 250 days. Undefeated in their last five league games, can the Seahorses pull off a great escape for the history books?! We think they can, and can't wait to see their manager walk all the way from Salerno to Rome! Then, of course, it's time to review the Champions League semifinals. Liverpool manage to overcome a Villarreal first-half masterclass with the help of Argentinian keeper Geronimo Rulli and get to celebrate Klopp's third final as a red in only five years. On the other side of the bracket, Real Madrid do what they do best and come back to life just when the Citizens were getting ready to write them off. With no pressure on their shoulder, will Ancelotti manage to lead them all the way to their 14th UCL trophy? We think Liverpool's quest for revenge might just add pressure on Klopp's men... It's then time for yet another interview, this time around with podcaster, author and overall nice guy Stuart Quigley, whose book "The Cornerstone Collection - Sculpting the Premier League past, present and future" is already available for pre-order and will hit the bookshelves in the month of June. We discuss where the idea came from, some of the stories we can find in the book and why the Premier League and the Championship are the most entertaining football leagues in the world. At the end, there is just enough time to preview this weekend's clashes across Italy and England. We wonder... will Verona be fatal again in AC Milan's history? At least 1/2 of the pod is currently poking voodoo dolls under the table... It's another good one, tune in and enjoy!
