Éliminé de la Coupe de France, Strasbourg mise désormais tout sur la Ligue Conférence pour sauver sa saison. Opposé au Rayo Vallecano en demi-finale, le club alsacien peut s'appuyer sur un parcours européen solide. Car en championnat, la qualification européenne s'éloigne : huitième avec 46 points, le Racing accuse un retard de sept longueurs sur Marseille, sixième. Dans ce contexte, seule une victoire en Ligue Conférence semble offrir une issue favorable. En cas de succès face au club populaire de la capitale espagnole et d'accès à la finale prévue le 27 mai à Leipzig, Strasbourg retrouverait Crystal Palace ou le Shakhtar Donetsk.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Hoog niveau, prachtige goals en een kolkend plexiglas-uitvak vol met bier. Een betere Europese awayday kan je bijna niet dromen, maar de focus moet weer vol op de volgende tegenstander: Shakhtar Donetsk. Verder verloor AZ jammerlijk weer punten, traditiegetrouw na de Europese uitwedstrijd, uit bij Groningen. Penetra maakte een oliedomme tackle, kansen werden niet afgemaakt, de scheids keek even opzij bij de handsbal voor de 2-0 en Smit liet z'n mannetje volledig lopen. Maar, hij mag zich wel gaan opmaken voor zijn Oranje-debuut: Keesie is opgeroepen! Dat en meer in deze aflevering. Luisteren dus!

Con Murphy narrates the first game in Tallaght in 2009, and there's interviews with Pico Lopes, our first double winning captain since 1987, and Andy Brassell, author of 'We Play On' ahead of next week's Conference League game against Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine.

So — we weren't able to record an episode for MD 1 of the Conference League last week, but we've got the next best thing! We've picked a few UECL teams to zero in on, all of which got big wins in this early stage of the league phase, including Lech Poznan, Shakhtar Donetsk, and AEK Larnaca. But the main story is Slovenia's NK Celje, who keep defying expectations and dominating European opponents. We ask the important questions — Why are they so successful? How far can they go? And when can we visit? We also introduce you to their new starman, Franko Kovacevic, who's taking both the Slovenian and Conference Leagues by storm this season. It may well be name to remember. Finally, we bring you our new segment: The Big Boy Check In, where we do 60 second spots on each of the 5 "big league" teams (Palace, Fiorentina, Rayo, Mainz, Strasbourg). What's up with them? What direction are they going in? Who do we like to go all the way? All that and some Aberdeen on today's show! Cheers to Imanol Idiakez!

Beşiktaş are officially out of the UEFA Europa League following a 2-0 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk in Warsaw, Poland—losing 6-2 on aggregate. The Black Eagles now drop into the UEFA Conference League, where they'll face Irish side St. Patrick's Athletic in the playoff round. The first leg will be played **next week in Dublin at 20:45 CEST**, with the return leg in **Istanbul a week later at 20:00 CEST (21:00 local time)**. With this European exit, **is Ole Gunnar Solskjær already on the hot seat** as Beşiktaş manager? Meanwhile, the club has **sold Gedson Fernandes to Spartak Moscow** for €20.7M + €7.3M in potential bonuses (totaling up to €28M). Rising star **Semih Kılıçsoy is also set for a loan move to Serie A side Cagliari**, with a medical scheduled in Italy. As for incoming transfers, Beşiktaş fans are still waiting. Club president **Serdal Adalı** was caught on camera telling a supporter that a **new winger is expected to arrive “within the next 10 days.”**

The Black Eagles were outclassed at home as Beşiktaş suffered a 2-4 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Europa League third qualifying round first leg. Arda Turan's Brazilian-led Shakhtar side dominated from start to finish, with standout performances from wingers Santana and Keven, leaving Ole Gunnar Solskjær's team with a mountain to climb in the second leg. Despite the loss at the Tüpraş Stadium, there were a few silver linings. Tammy Abraham scored on his debut from the penalty spot and made his presence felt as a target man. His fiery post-match comments (“We'll see about that next week”) show the fight Beşiktaş fans are hoping for. Orkun Kökçü had a mixed debut, clearly not at full fitness, while Gedson Fernandes remained one of the few consistent performers. ⚽️ Key Talking Points: Tactical breakdown of Solskjær vs. Arda Turan Tammy Abraham's debut goal and mentality Shakhtar's Brazilian dominance in midfield and on the wings What went wrong tactically for Beşiktaş Second-leg preview and what needs to change Beşiktaş will now need a miracle in Ukraine to turn this tie around and avoid dropping into the UEFA Europa Conference League, where the loser of this tie faces the winner of St. Patrick's vs Nömme Kalju.

In this Europa League qualifier preview, Kaan Bayazit is joined by Ukrainian football expert Andrew Todos to break down Beşiktaş's crucial clash with Shakhtar Donetsk. Andrew (@ZoryaLondonsk on X), who previously appeared for our Dynamo Kyiv preview and Alex Teixeira special, returns with deep insights into what Beşiktaş fans can expect from this Shakhtar side. ⚽️ Key talking points: Shakhtar's key players to watch Their tactical strengths and weaknesses What went wrong last season for Shakhtar? Can we expect a stronger campaign this year? How Beşiktaş can exploit vulnerabilities With Shakhtar coming off a disappointing domestic season, this is a must-watch analysis for fans looking to understand their current form and how they match up against Beşiktaş in the Europa League qualifiers.

Hello Rank Squad!It's time for Champions League Takeaway, your midnight feast of Champions League content - after an incredible week in the Champions League that saw Champions crumble, new powers rising, goals galore & some shock results. We start with Wednesday's action, opening with the breathless end to things in Eindhoven - where the USMNT's Malik Tillman and Ricardo Pepi fired up an incredible late comeback that saw their side overcome Shakhtar Donetsk at the death. Then it's on to Anfield, where Liverpool made light work of an out-of-sorts Madrid, lacking Vinicius and a few others. We discuss Mbappe's struggles, how Liverpool maintained perfect control, the midfield 'battle' and Conor Bradley's breakout performance. We also discuss a calamitous own goal from Cameron Carter-Vickers at Celtic Park, rescued by a brilliant Daezen Maeda strike at the other end; the drama at the finale of Aston Villa's 0-0 draw with Juventus; a brilliant game between two excellent sides in Benfica and Monaco; Jamie Gittens' star turn in Dortmund's impressive win over Dinamo Zagreb; a stunning Champions League performance from Lille's Ngal'ayel Mukau; and shock results in the early kickoffs as Sturm Graz beat Girona and Crvena Zvezda hammered Stuttgart in Belgrade. Then in Part Two, we're onto Tuesday's action, which begins witha deep dive into City's unthinkable collapse against Feyenoord which put all the worst fears of City fans into a stark perspective - this is real and it's happening. What next for Pep's men, and could they possibly turn it round in the most unlikely of locations - Anfield? We talk a bit of a strange blockbuster game between Bayern Munich and PSG and where both teams are right now, before heading over to Lisbon to discuss Arsenal's demolition of Sporting, which was one of the best performances we've seen under Mikel Arteta as all the parts finally click into place for the Gunners. Jack installs Inter as his favourites to win the competition following their incredibly mature win over struggling RB Leipzig; we look at a big night for Robert Lewandowski as Barcelona beat Brest 3-0; discuss Atalanta's 6-1 mauling of Young Boys and insist you don't write them off; ponder why Milan keep making things so hard for themselves, even in a 3-2 win in Bratislava; and end with quick discussions on hammerings handed out by both Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid. 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?

This is the second instalment of our full-length in-depth discussion. A fan favourite at Arsenal and previously Manchester City, Oleksandr Zinchenko has been lighting up the Premier League with his fearless performances for many years. But his success has come while facing immense challenges. Having begun his career as a teenager at Shakhtar Donetsk, on the border with Russia, he was acutely aware of the politics of sport. Initially he played football as an amateur because no club would sign him. But he fought his way to the top and joined Manchester City in 2016 where he would go on to experience exhilarating career highs, with four league titles in six years, before moving to Arsenal where he has played an integral part in their recent successes. Zinchenko has shown his intense commitment in a very different way through his campaigning in support of his homeland during the ongoing war. Following advice from loved ones, he aimed to make a difference by using his platform to spread awareness and raise money to support his country. In October 2024 Zinchenko came to Intelligence Squared to tell his remarkable story. Drawing from his new autobiography Believe he provided unique insights into the methods of Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and the machinations of elite football. He also told the story of how he has sought to support Ukraine on and off the pitch. Joining him to discuss it at our recent Intelligence Squared live event recorded on October 23rd at London's Emmanuel Centre was Amy Lawrence, Arsenal correspondent for The Athletic and author of 89: Arsenal's Greatest Moment, Told in Our Own Words.

Hello Rank Squad!It's time for Champions League Takeaway, your midnight feast of Champions League content - after one of the wildest weeks we have seen in the competition in recent times. We start for a change, with Tuesday's games, opening with Sporting's huge 4-1 win over Manchester City - a parting gift from Ruben Amorim to the Jose Alvalade as City were cut open in transition again. Was it as bad as it looked? Maybe not, but the blue half of Manchester have some valid concerns, whilst the red half are ready to welcome their new manager with open arms. Then it's on to Anfield, where Liverpool maintained their perfect record in the competition with a 4-0 win over Xabi Alonso and Bayer Leverkusen thanks to a Luis Diaz hat trick, and some more excellent half-time tweaks from Arne Slot, who got it right yet again. Real Madrid were stunned at home by Milan, where Paulo Fonseca's use of Rafael Leão was next to perfect, and the questions about how Kylian Mbappé has unbalanced this team remain burning bright. Can Carlo Ancelotti turn this around or are the obvious holes in the defensive line too big to fill with superstars alone? We round up the rest too: Celtic re-announced themselves in the competition with a big win at home to Leipzig, BVB dug out another win in their mini-resurgence, Malik Tillman starred as PSV beat Girona 4-0, Lille and Juventus shared the spoils in France, Monaco stayed hot with a late win in Bologna, and Dinamo Zagreb smashed four past competition whipping boys Slovan Bratislava.Then in Part Two, we're onto Wednesday's action, which begins with Inter's narrow win over Arsenal that cemented them as genuine favourites and continued to pile the questions on Mikel Arteta about how to get the best out of this (admittedly depleted) Gunners side. Also up for discussion is PSG's devastating late loss to Atletico Madrid and how the Parisiens just seem to lack confidence the moment anything goes against them, despite a bright start here; and Aston Villa's fatigued 1-0 loss to Club Brugge that will be headlined by a weird penalty call, but in reality was a pretty reasonable result - Villa were outplayed in Belgium. We finish with a roundup of the rest of the Tuesday games - Barcelona hitting five in Belgrade against Crvena Zvezda as their front three continues to shine; Bayern's hard-fought but well-deserved win over Benfica; another clean sheet for Atalanta as they won 2-0 in Stuttgart; a first win for RB Salzburg as they shocked Feyenoord at De Kuip; Brest's third win from four as the Pirates set sail for Prague and plundered more points against Sparta; and Shakhtar Donetsk's Sudakov-inspired victory over Young Boys.It's Ranks!

Hello Rank Squad!It's time for Champions League Takeaway, your midnight feast of Champions League content after the main meal was served up on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights by the new 36-team competition. We start with Tueday's games, opening on Aston Villa's already-famous win over Bayern Munich, where Unai Emery hurt Bayern again, and we saw a repeat scoreline of the 1982 European Cup final, only this time with Jhon Duran the man of the moment. Then we discuss losses for both of the Madrid sides - Real Madrid to Lille for their first loss in 36 games, and Atleti's dismemberment at the hands of a newly-resurgent Benfica. Next, it's to Anfield to look at Liverpool's 8th win in 9 games under Arne Slot - this time a 2-0 win over a stubborn Bologna, and then on to Germany, where 10-man Juventus proved their mettle with a 3-2 comeback win in Leipzig. We round up the rest of Tuesday's action by peeking at Dinamo Zagreb's 2-2 draw with Monaco, Christos Tzolis' stunner leading Club Brugge to a 1-0 win over Sturm Graz, an absolutely ludicrous encounter between Girona and Feyenoord that ended 3-2 to the visitors, and Atalanta's comfortable win over Shakhtar Donetsk. Then in Part Two, we're onto Tuesday's action, which begins with a look at Arsenal's weirdly comfortable 2-0 win over a very pedestrian PSG at the Emirates, then onto Dortmund's 7-1 dismantling of Celtic and their early optimism in the competition, Leverkusen's hard-nosed 1-0 win over AC Milan at the BayArena, and Barcelona's almost picture-perfect night as they beat Young Boys 5-0 in Catalunya. We finish with a roundup of the rest of the Tuesday games - Manchester City going to Slovakia and strolling to a 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava that saw their academy players come to the fore, a brilliant game between the Dutch and Portuguese Champions as PSV and Sporting played out a 1-1 draw, Brest's brilliant start continuing with a 4-0 thrashing of Salzburg away from home, Inter's rout of Crvena Zvezda in Milan, and a hard-fought draw between Stuttgart and Sparta Prague. It's Ranks!

Hello Rank Squad!You heard the music, and we're back in Champions League mode as the newest era of the competition gets underway with the new Swiss League stage replacing the old group stages. This is Part Two of your Takeaways from this week, looking back at the action from Wednesday and Thursday night. We start with Arsenal's trip to Bergamo, where David Raya's heroics meant that Arsenal came away with a hard-earned point against Europa League Champions Atalanta; before looking back at 10-man Barcelona's 2-1 loss to Monaco, Atleti's late winner as they beat Leipzig 2-1, and Leverkusen's return to thumping form as they dismantled Feyenoord 4-0 in Rotterdam. Our first part ends with a few thoughts on Benfica's nervy win in Belgrade over Crvena Zvezda, and Brest's wonderful 2-1 win over Sturm Graz which was sadly not in their own stadium. Then in Part Two, we're onto Wednesday's action, which begins with a look at the 0-0 stalemate between two of Europe's best sides in Manchester City and Inter Milan - a game for the coaches, not the players, in many ways. Popping over to Paris, we examine PSG's (somewhat) lucky win over Girona, head to Belgium to discuss Jamie Gittens' game-changing cameo as Borussia Dortmund beat Club Brugge 3-0, and give some love to a rampant Celtic who dismantled Slovan Bratislava 5-1 at Paradise. Rounding things off, we briefly talk about Bologna returning to the competition after 60 years away with a 0-0 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk, and Sparta Prague's hard-nosed 3-0 win against a very youthful RB Salzburg. 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?
