Podcasts about Champions League

In this episode there's some more background to Arsenal's reported interest in Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, as well as a conversation about the player versus the person. He would certainly add quality to the midfield but our chequered past with him as an opponent gives us, as fans, something to think about if a deal does go through. We also chat about Granit Xhaka being linked with Chelsea, and further departures from the medical team which will see that area of our backroom set-up require a significant refresh. As well as that we answer questions about where our priorities lie next season between Premier League and Champions League, potential full-back signings, Piero Hincapie, ranking our World Cup players as the best of their nation to ever play for us, plus there's waffle, nonsense, geographical ignorance, and lots more.

Julian Nagelsmann – das spannendste Trainertalent der letzten Jahre und seit dieser Saison Headcoach des FC Bayern München. Was für eine Karriere....! 2016 rettete er die TSG Hoffenheim im zarten Traineralter von 28 Jahren vor dem Abstieg und etablierte den Verein im oberen Leistungs-Regal. Anschließend führte er RB Leipzig ins Halbfinale der Champions League. Und jetzt also Bayern! Doch heute muss er sich erstmal den knallharten Fragen der Brüder Kroos stellen: Erfolgte der Wechsel zu Bayern zum richtigen Zeitpunkt? Wird Nagelsmann die fünf Jahre seines Vertrages bei Bayern voll machen? Muss sich ein Verein wie FC Bayern überhaupt dem Spiel seiner Gegner anpassen? Sind hohe Ablösesummen für Trainer eine gute Idee? Wieviele Einzelszenen gilt es nach der ersten Saisonschlappe gegen Frankfurt zu analysieren? Und was macht Julian Nagelsmann eigentlich in der Länderspielpause? Los geht's! Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Ein Kaderwert von fast einer Milliarde Euro – schon viele Weltklassespieler im Aufgebot. Da fragt ihr euch vielleicht – warum darüber einen Kadercheck machen? Es gibt aber trotzdem super viel zum Diskutieren über den Kader des FC Bayern München und das machen die Hosts Fabian Knottnerus und Lennart Gens in der neuen Folge „DONE DEALS – der Transfermarkt-Podcast“. Beim deutschen Rekordmeister geht es eher um mögliche Abgänge aus dem aktuellen Aufgebot. Mit Saibari und Brown sind zwei Neuzugänge so gut wie perfekt.

In deze VI ZSM bespreken Chris Tempelman en Jort van der Hoorn onder andere het vertrek van Dirk Kuijt naar Fenerbahçe, de toptransfer van Tim van der Leij naar Champions League-deelnemer VfB Stuttgart en de situatie rond Cristiano Ronaldo, inclusief de vernietigende analyse van Thierry Henry.

Welcome back to another episode of the Royal Blue Podcast! Host Ian Croll is joined by Tony Scott and Gavin Buckland to tackle the biggest talking points surrounding Everton's upcoming summer transfer window. First up on the agenda is the future of Iliman Ndiaye. The winger has dropped a fresh exit hint following a recent interview where he made it clear he wants to play Champions League football in the near future. With Europe's elite competition out of reach for Everton right now, the lads debate the big dilemma facing the club: Do you fight to keep a key talent, or is it time to cash in?  What is truly the best option for Everton this summer? Then, things get interesting. We hand Tony and Gavin a hypothetical £100 million war chest to completely revamp and improve the Everton squad.  How far can £100m actually go in today's market?  Who makes the ultimate priority list?  Which positions need desperate reinforcing first? Get involved in the comments below! Would you keep or sell Ndiaye? And how would you spend a £100m budget this summer?

The four contenders have arrived in Cologne, ready to clash in one of the most tightly contested FINAL4s in years. All four sides have a real say in the destination of the Champions League trophy this weekend and that's what makes these weekends truly special. We discuss the two semi-finals and figure out where the difference will be made, before making our predictions. We hear from Aalborg's German star Juri Knorr on his FINAL4 memories as a fan before he experiences it as a player for the first time. And we conclude with a dramatic reading, sharing the words of the man looking to atone for a slip last year.

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about some more end of season Arsenal stuff, reaction to the Champions League final in terms of how both teams are perceived in football style terms but without sufficient context, before we discuss the upcoming World Cup which starts today. There's focus on Gianni Infantino and the way he has made FIFA his own personal fiefdom, building power and influence, but being too cowardly to use it when his own people need it. There are some wider thoughts on the tournament as a whole, a little more Arsenal stuff at the end, a chance to win a cool celebration photo book, and more.Here's the photo-zine mentioned in the competition – https://lowerblock.com/product/arsenal-champions-again-2025-26/Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

The traditional The Assistant Professor of Football season round-up is back. I asked guests from this past year, and some from previous years whose clubs had remarkable seasons of one sort or the other how their clubs have fared, what moment stands out, and what song best embodies their club's vibe this past season. They are:Medea Voegeli, professional historian and historian of FC Thun, from episode 76. Thun are the utterly sensational champions of Switzerland this year — after just having been promoted — so Medea has a lot of good vibes to share.Then Paul Reidy, our English correspondent at Rayo Vallecano; that club portrait is episode 46. Rayo made it to the final of the best European club competition outside the Champions League, the Conference League. They lost against Crystal Palace, but this is their greatest success.Another finalist: SC Freiburg, from episode 49. Freiburg made it to the Europa League final. They also lost against an English team, Aston Villa. Patrick Bucher from the club's history working group has a lot of stories to tell from his days at the final in Istanbul.Next up is Alana McDougall, a historian at the University of Guelph in Canada who published a fabulous people's history of Liverpool and joined us in episode 72 — she's back to analyze a rather mixed season for them.Then Stefan Wally, a political scientist and Austria Salzburg aficionado, on that club in the second Austrian league. They earned promotion last year and absolutely held their own — including a derby with the Red Bull farm team that tried to finish them off.And last but not least: two teams who got relegated but also see some hope on the horizon, because their relegation has triggered — or at least coincides with — much-needed changes in ownership and leadership at their respective clubs: West Ham and 1860 Munich.West Ham were relegated from the Premier League, as I'm sure you know. That is my club in England, and Alex — who is hard at work organizing supporters for change and for atmosphere at West Ham — gives us his take. And 1860… well, never a dull day there. The Jordanian investor withheld funds, the club was forced to drop out of the third German league, and it looks like that means — freedom, finally, for 1860. Claus Melchior from 1860's section on club history will give us the download.HELPFUL LINKS FOR THIS EPISODE: Dubioza Kolektiv - I am from Bosnia, Take me to America (new music video, YouTube)NEW: send me a text message!

RUNDOWN   After 16 days across London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Florence, Mitch returns home exhausted, overfed, broke, and surprisingly fond of Berlin. He and Hotshot Scott break down the trip, from ranking Europe's biggest cities and comparing food cultures to discussing sightseeing fatigue, Segway tours, horseback riding in Tuscany, and the realization that his sons viewed the entire vacation very differently than he did. Fresh off his European adventure, Mitch quickly pivots back to the Mariners and a pitching situation that suddenly looks very different than it did a month ago. With the piggyback experiment shelved for now, the focus turns to Bryce Miller's dominant return to form, Luis Castillo's resurgence after being challenged, and whether Seattle's six-man rotation creates more opportunities than problems. The Mariners' series loss in Detroit quickly turns into a deeper conversation about Andrés Muñoz, whose recent struggles have Brady and Joe (Mariners No-Table) debating whether Seattle can continue treating him as an automatic ninth-inning option. The trio examines bullpen management, the challenges created by the six-man rotation, potential closer alternatives, and whether the trade deadline could force Jerry Dipoto to look for outside relief help. Steve Phillips hasn't jumped off the Mariners bandwagon despite an uneven first two months. He explains why Seattle's pitching depth, second-half track record, and a weak American League still make them a legitimate World Series contender, while also addressing growing concerns about Andrés Muñoz and potential bullpen fixes before the trade deadline.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Steve Phillips | Former GM of New York Mets, MLB Network Analyst, SiriusXM host   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch recaps a whirlwind European family vacation filled with unforgettable sights, culture shocks, and a chaotic front-row experience of Paris Saint-Germain's riot-filled Champions League celebration. 33:42 | The Mariners' pitching surplus is suddenly a good problem, as Bryce Miller's resurgence, Luis Castillo's rebound, and Cade Anderson's rise force Seattle to weigh rotation depth against potential trade-deadline opportunities. 45:28 | Mariners No-Table: The Mariners' bullpen concerns take center stage as Andrés Muñoz's struggles spark closer questions, but strong performances from Bryce Miller, Cole Young, and Colt Emerson help keep Seattle firmly atop the division. 1:09:42 | Steve Phillips: Steve Phillips still sees the Mariners as a legitimate World Series threat, with pitching depth, roster flexibility, and a weak American League outweighing bullpen concerns and lineup questions. 1:29:28 | Other Stuff Segment: Caitlin Clark illness during Commissioner's Cup game, Russell Wilson joining CBS, Russell Wilson Hall of Fame debate, Myles Garrett traded to Rams, Aaron Donald comeback speculation, Rams vs Seahawks offseason comparison, Nolan Teasley hired by Vikings, NFL minority hiring compensation picks, Madden NFL 27 cover featuring Caleb Williams, Brandon Roy and Garfield recruiting scandal, Eastside Catholic recruiting jokes, Nick Saban NIL criticism and congressional testimony, French Open champions Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva, Magda Linette Cinderella run at Roland-Garros.

Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, and Peter Crouch between them have won Champions League titles, Premier League medals, over 200 England caps. And yet not one of them ever lifted a major trophy for their country.In this roundtable, three men who were inside the 'Golden Generation' dressing room finally say what went wrong. The media that made players scared to perform. The manager who wouldn't listen. The moment the England coach was asking Beckham for a signed shirt. And why, for most of them, playing for England never felt free.But this isn't just a post-mortem. It's highlights what culture, leadership, and environment actually do to elite performers — and why getting those things wrong can waste a golden generation of talent.Thanks to our partners on this episode:Postcode Lottery

In this episode we convene a few days after Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG in Budapest. So much has happened since then, that's it's hard to really keep track, but we go chronologically through the trips to Hungary, the atmosphere in the city among other Arsenal fans, and lots more before we get to the game itself. Kai Havertz's early goal had a big impact on the game, not simply by virtue of putting us ahead, but how it influenced the game state. There's discussion of the penalty they were awarded and the one we weren't, the referee's performance, extra-time, and ultimately the heartbreak of the penalty shoot-out with analysis of the takers and the order in which they were taken. After some reflections on how it all felt, we go into part 2 to talk about the post-game reaction in Budapest, what we can learn from this game, before focusing on the incredible scenes in North London at the parade which really helped diminish the pain of the night before. We also take some listener questions about Josh Kroenke and his role, the potential profile of summer signings, Arsenal being emotional, and loads more besides.

Fans torch Paris after PSG's Champions League win as migrant rioters brag they “took over Paris in three hours,” Macron blasts the chaos, and the guys warn this could be a preview of World Cup‑style unrest and BLM‑level riots in Western cities.

Spurs take Game 7 and get to the NBA Finals. We talk everything from Saturday night, Wemby's emotional response, Chet's no show and more (00:00:00-00:38:26).
