Totally Gold Champions League 01/02: Zid...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Alvaro Romeo on the 2001/02 Champions League season, and that Zidane goal in Glasgow. Was it that good?


Perhaps the greatest goal in Champions League final history saw the Spanish overcome upstart German opposition at Hampden. Little did Real Madrid know that this would be their last Champions League title for 12 years. And little did we know that Leverkusen wouldn't be Neverkusen forever.


Elsewhere, it was a maiden Champions League campaign for Celtic and Liverpool, and the dawn of a second group stage.


Plus Beckham's metatarsal, Las Ketchup and the Proclaimers.


Produced by Charlie Jones.
