America’s Got Talent!

Stak
About this episode

South and Central American sides have caused quite the stir at the Club World Cup. Impressive results for Palmeiras, Boca Juniors, Fluminense and Monterrey against European opposition have certainly given their transatlantic neighbours something to think about.


Dotun, Andy & David Cartlidge dig into how Inter, in particular, respond to a post-Champions League final upset. Plus, as Portuguese clubs are exposed on the world stage, what does it mean for their long-held role as the key stepping stone for South American talent? And how on earth did Galatasaray manage to sign Leroy Sané?
