About this episode

Dotun, Andy and Lars Sivertsen pick up the pieces from a fascinating Champions League midweek and try to fit them all together. Let's hope it's nothing like Bodø/Glimt’s mosaic, mind…


We start in Spain and the battle of The Crashing Realistics, as Unai Emery’s men strained on the leash against a Juventus side already leaning on their new number nine. We also take in a gripping battle between two titans of Europe in Portugal and, fresh from Andy’s trip to Rome, try to figure out when the Roma fans’ love for José Mourinho will eventually run dry.
