Stak
About this episode

Andy was in Warsaw on Tuesday to witness Shakhtar Donetsk – a team playing thousands of miles from their home and made up of mainly Ukrainian players – draw with the European champions, Real Madrid. He tells Dotun and David Cartlidge about what it was like to be there and how the players are feeling as Russia’s invasion continues.


Elsewhere, Club Brugge make it to the Champions League knockouts for the first time ever having still not conceded – what are they doing so well? Antoine Griezmann finally signs for Atlético, João Félix picks a fight with Diego Simeone, and… Kylian Mbappé again, is it? We discuss his mismanagement of the simmering tensions at PSG.
