On The Continent: Man City’s pinnacle

Stak
About this episode

Dotun and Andy are joined by Miguel Delaney to discuss perhaps THE best single performance by an English team in Europe we’ve ever seen and what has brought us to this moment.


We also speculate about the future for Real Madrid and whether this should really signal for a changing of the guard, both on the pitch and in the dugout. And would you rather be Inter - with a Champions League final to look forward to but sat on a ticking financial time bomb - or AC Milan - with a squad full of young talent - right now?


Plus, we have a message for Barcelona: don’t do ring-a-ring-a-roses to celebrate a title win at your most hated rival’s stadium!
