Episode 271: Back-to-Back

Well, PSG have gone back to back, making it the second time in Champions League history that a team has gone back-to-back. Luis Enrique had the opportunity to be the first back in 2016, but his time came 10 years later instead. The final was a masterclass in defensive resilience, with PSG controlling possession for nearly 80% at one point and Arsenal struggling to unlock their deep block. Yet, the game could have tilted on a whim. A few missed chances off the post, directed the right way, we could be talking about a completely different game. And penalties. Oh, penalties. The cruelest way to lose a final. But, at the end of the day, someone has to win. We cover the CL final as well as the Europa and Conference League finals in this episode!
