Liam The Dream

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo and the Euro crew (James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo) have a keen eye on footballing affairs across the continent.

The Champions League last 16 draw takes place twice and second time around, we see PSG paired with Real Madrid in a tie packed full of angles. And Man City face Sporting in the hipster’s choice.

Real Madrid look to be running away with the title while Real Betis sit 3rd as Manuel Pellegrini is once again doing a brilliant job in La Liga.

Inter go top of Serie A for the first time this season while Dusan Vlahovic’s exit from Fiorentina looks increasingly likely as he cannot stop scoring.

It’s a winning start for Domenico Tedesco at Leipzig as Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich admits he regrets not getting vaccinated after Covid causes him lung damage.

Plus The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal informs us about a first ever MLS Cup win for New York City FC. A result that sees Ronny Deila doing push-ups in his pants.
