Welcome to This Sporting Planet, your definitive source for 'The World's View of Sport'. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ In this episode, our hosts Natalie Sawyer (UK), Edward Russell (Singapore), and Todd Harris (USA) dive into the biggest stories from the football season. We celebrate the men's and women's Champions League winners and preview the new, expanded FIFA Club World Cup. We also mark a significant milestone: joining our community of over 100,000 YouTube subscribers! We're joined by Champions League winner Lianne Sanderson and The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas for exclusive insights. Here is a breakdown of the main topics: Champions League Finals: A recap of PSG's record-breaking win over Inter and Arsenal Women's "shock victory" over Barcelona. We analyse the tactical masterclasses and what they mean for the future of both clubs. The Club World Cup Preview: A look at the new $1 billion tournament in the USA. We gain a global view of the competition's format and debate whether a new transfer window will lead to "hired guns" and squad manipulation. Football's Biggest Debates: We cover the ongoing debate about Cristiano Ronaldo's "failure" in Saudi Arabia, Manchester United's "embarrassing" post-season tour, and the dramatic title collapse of Ajax. Behind the Scenes: Natalie shares a story about a surprise cuddle with Jurgen Klopp, and Edward provides a sneak peek into his chat with F1 driver Alex Albon.
