Rio Ferdinand Presents
About this episode

Former PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi joins Rio and Fletch for a special Rio Reacts episode where the trio analyse what has made this PSG team so irresistable and pleasing for fans in the Champions League.


After years of relying on superstar individuals, including in the teams Matuidi played in, PSG have built their success on teamwork and togetherness and the hosts look at how that transformation has taken place.


After playing for PSG, Juventus and the French national team, Matuidi is perfectly positioned to give detailed insight into the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba and reveals why having a family has helped Ousmane Dembele become a better player.


Along with stories of how Zlatan and Ronaldo helped turn Blaise into a winner, he creates a 5-a-side team based on the best players he’s played with along with the best PSG front three from all of the attacking talent the French club have ever had at their disposal.
