Enzo Maresca and Arne Slot lead their teams into the Champions League group stage tonight, with tasty ties against Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid awaiting. Chelsea were recently hit by a collection of outstanding rule infringements from the Premier League relating to agent payments over a 13 year period, which ironically may have helped their European title win in the city - and against the opponents - they play tonight, Bayern. Alexander Isak could make his Liverpool debut against Diego Simeone's Atletico, with Slot aiming to slowly increase his minutes after his summer was spent on strike.

Außerdem thematisieren sie den Fehlstart von Atletico Madrid in Spanien. Zu Gast ist außerdem Sky-Kommentator und Premier-League-Experte Joachim Hebel, der den neuen Woltemade-Klub Newcastle United, den großen Transfer-Angriff von Liverpool und die aktuelle Krise von Manchester City analysiert.

Ifie and Tayo put emotions aside and talk the Liverpool v Arsenal game, Atletico's poor start to the season, and transfer deadline day.

The Champions League draw throws up classic ties for Liverpool—Real Madrid, Inter, Atletico, Galatasaray and more. Molby is confident: “We know how to do this.” He explains why Liverpool's European pedigree, fan base, and big-game muscle give them a major edge, even in tricky away legs. Expect six or seven wins, he says—if not more. Hosted by Trev Downey. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In Episode 176, we are recasting our recruiting episode with our very own Paul Jobson, who now is Director of Atletico Dallas Youth-Central Texas after his retirement from coaching at Baylor Futbol, when he talked with Phil about how players, parents, and coaches can navigate the recruiting process with more excellence. Specifically, he covers: ·      How the recruiting process should be a fun “get-to” ·      The parallels of the college recruiting process and job searches ·      The coach's and assistant coach's perspective of the recruiting process ·      How coaches filter through the thousands of emails they get throughout the year, and how to separate yourself from the multitudes ·      Confirmation bias in coaches, how it affects the recruiting process, and what you can do to ensure you're on the right side of the bias ·      The importance of treating every coach with respect and never burning any bridges during the recruiting process ·      What should you do if a school you're not interested in is recruiting you? ·      How can you know if a coach is interested in you vs. just trying to get you to go to a camp? ·      Are camps worth the time and expense? ·      A reminder that the recruiting process should be a highlight of your life Resources and Links from this Episode ·      Don Williams HSEL Episode ·      Video of the Episode ·      HSEL YouTube Channel ·      HSEL Facebook Group ·      Warrior Way Soccer ·      Providence World website ·      Coaching the Bigger Game Program ·      Phil's email for DISC Training ·      Open: An Autobiography, by Andre Agassi

On today's episode, Patrick and Hayden discuss the 3 Spanish football giants. We dive into Atletico Madrid's significant recruitment efforts and potential changes in strategy. For Real Madrid, we examine Vinicius Jr.'s critical season under Xabi Alonso and how their new additions fit into the squad. Additionally, we cover Marcus Rashford's move to Barcelona, potential 2nd year issues under Hansi Flick, and why Rafael Leao is worth the risk for the right club. Enjoy!

Er war einer der begnadetsten Spielmacher, die Deutschland je hatte und einer der unbequemsten. Bernd Schuster dribbelte nicht nur Gegner aus, sondern auch Erwartungen, Autoritäten, ganze Systeme. Er spielte in Barcelona, wechselte zu Real Madrid und von dort zu Atletico. Er verzichtete auf Weltmeisterschaften aus Überzeugung. Und er zeigte früh, dass man nicht Everybodys Darling sein muss, um Geschichte zu schreiben. Malte Asmus erzählt die Geschichte eines Ausnahmespielers mit goldenen Füßen und scharfer Zunge. Bernd Schuster - eine der widersprüchlichsten, aber auch großartigsten Figuren in der Geschichte des deutschen Fußballs.

Le PSG a fait le job en terminant, comme prévu, à la première place de sa poule. Ce premier tour a-t-il été satisfaisant ? Qui est le meilleur joueur parisien de cette phase de groupes ? Paris affronte l'Inter Miami en 8e de finale et probablement Flamengo ou Benfica en quarts. Le tableau est-il ouvert ? L'Atletico de Madrid est éliminé dès le premier tour, vous attendiez-vous à cette élimination ? Est-ce un symbole de la saison écoulée ou les prémices de la prochaine ? Simeone a-t-il les bonnes analyses des prestations de son équipe ? Griezmann peut-il être un boulet la saison prochaine ?

Con este episodio damos por finalizada la temporada del podcast. Valoración final de este curso del Atletico de Madrid

In this edition of the podcast, Colin Shindler and Jon Holmes are joined by Andy Hamilton to talk in a very headmasterly tone about Onfield Behaviour which quite frankly is bringing the good name of the Football Ruined My Life school into disgrace.  In a Champions League quarter final this season two Real Madrid boys in the Lower Sixth, Rudiger and Mbappe, were shown on television after a fortunate win over their rival boys school Atletico Madrid making obscene gestures.  Rudiger was appearing to make a throat-slitting motion, apparently towards the Atletico crowd, while Mbappe was shown seemingly making a crotch-grabbing gesture.  Both boys then had to report to Mr Infantino's study after Assembly where it would appear nothing at all happened to them.  Government regulations unfortunately no longer permit Sir Stanley Rous to give both those boys a severe caning which would have happened in the more enlightened 1960s.  Has onfield behaviour deteriorated so badly in recent years or does football simply reflect an increasing disregard for authority which can be seen in so many facets of society in the 21st century?

It's time for The Truth! For the last time this season, Sam and Dougie convene in the studio to record, and for the season finale, they're looking back at the first year of the podcast - what they got right, what they got wrong, and some of the best bits as well. Picking for each other, the boys choose a Best Take, Worst Take, Most Enlightening Take and Most Surprising Take from the year just gone, and analyse them with the huge added benefit of hindsight - as well as a hint of some justification. Before that, we have a chat about Sunderland's promotion to the Premier League, and Aston Villa's failure to secure Champions League football, as we finish up what's been a magnificent first year for the podcast. How did the boys do? Well, as ever, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

In late 2024, USL Dallas announced their intention to add Dallas to their list of USL Championship clubs for 2027. Led by co-founders and long time friends, Matt Valentine and Sam Morton, the club is poised to enter a market that is also occupied by Major League Soccer. I was fortunate enough to have Matt on the podcast to discuss this exciting USL project. We talk about Matt's personal history with the beautiful game, the Ownership group behind the club, the vision of the next few years as they work towards their goal of playing in 2027, why Dallas makes sense, and more.

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at the Club World Cup, set to kick off just a couple of weeks after the European season ends. The tournament has divided fans and pundits alike, with some seeing it as a bizarre power play from FIFA to try and rival the riches of the Champions League, whilst others feel that it's an opportunity to spread the game's wealth on a more even keel globally. We examine the history of the tournament and where the concept originated from, before taking a look at how it matters differently to different areas of the globe - in some place, it's a real badge of honour; whilst in others, it's treated as a second-class trophy. Perhaps more importantly, there's a deep dive into the finances of the tournament and how it's going to work, as well as some thoughts on if we should really be adding more football into an already oversaturated calendar - whilst the concept of the CWC is a good one, generally; is there actually a real need for this given the amount of football players are already going through? So, is this global benevolence or a cash grab from the Federation? Are the big teams going to send shadow sides or are the megastars going to give it all they have? And to whom does this all matter most? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

Hello Rank Squad! On Monday news broke that Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid this summer was close to being completed, with the Liverpool defender seemingly leaving his boyhood club for free at the expiration of his contract this summer, and it got us thinking - who else is in the same category of being on the open market this summer and where could they go?We start with a discussion of the three Liverpool names that have been in the spotlight all season - Trent, Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah - taking a look at who is perhaps most expendable, who is least replaceable, and what we think might play out, especially with Salah and VVD, as well as taking a brief look at some potential replacements. Then it's on to some other names - we discuss the futures of Angel Gomes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Leroy Sane, Jonathan David, and young Swedish talent Roony Bardghji - and where they all might be plying their trades next season given the expiration of their current deals at their current homes. Jack finishes us off with a few more names to keep an eye on as the deadlines for extensions get closer and closer - Andre Franck Zambo Anguissa of Napoli, Marco Verratti of Al-Arabi - who is being linked with a move back to Europe - Sergio Reguilon of Tottenham Hotspur, and Espanyol captain Javi Puado. It's Ranks!   And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

Hello Rank Squad! It's the second of two Champions League Takeaway episodes on the feed this week, with four more games to dissect - headlined by another 120 minutes of madness, this time from Madrid, where Real needed penalties to get the better of Atleti in a game the hosts will feel aggrieved not to have won (we've heard that one before...)We break down the chaos of the penalty shootout, including Julian Alvarez's disallowed spot kick for a double-touch, examining the rules and what exactly happened; before looking back at the game as a whole and examining some of the individual performances that caught our eye, for good and for bad.Then in Part Two, we take a look at a heavily rotated Arsenal's 2-2 draw with PSV - it didn't matter, progression was all but guaranteed; Aston Villa's 3-0 win over Club Brugge where Marco Asensio in particular shone once again - what a signing he has been for Unai Emery's men; and a vastly improved display from Borussia Dortmund as they came from a goal behind to beat Lille in France and progress to another quarter final. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
