Episode 9: The UEFA Champions League Final - Football’s Night of Nights
Jack and Ben are back in their wheelhouse this week as they dive into the biggest night in European club football - the UEFA Champions League Final.
From contentious calls to unforgettable comebacks, tactical brilliance to glorious chaos - this is the night where legends rise, dreams shatter, and history unfolds in 90 minutes (or more). Expect goals, drama, and miracle moments: Zidane’s majesty, United’s last-gasp heroics, Bale defying gravity, and of course, Istanbul.
There are dark days to discuss too - disasters at Heysel and Munich, as well as frank discussions on the history of British Exceptionalism and how it held back the English game - and how it influenced other nations to prove them wrong. And on whether the competition - for all its undoubted merits - holds the same romance of the FA Cup, or even its predecessor, the European Cup.
So lace up your boots, cue the anthem, and get ready for the drama that only the Champions League can provide. Football, bloody hell.
