On The Continent: The final four

Stak
About this episode

See you at the San Siro! Dotun and Andy are joined by Jonathan Johnson to wonder what’s in store in the last four of the Champions League. We discuss who will have the edge in Milan and which of the rivals is best-equipped to go all the way – plus, we explain why Pep Guardiola is slowly turning into Carlo Ancelotti.


Jonathan also gives the latest on the racism allegations facing PSG’s coach, Christophe Galtier. As ever in Paris, it’s complicated.
