In this episode of After the Match, I reflect on some of the recent World Cup games and what they reveal about football today.
From Portugal’s frustrating draw to England’s thrilling win, the contrast between matches made me think about something bigger than just results.
This World Cup feels like a turning point — a moment where the era of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is slowly coming to an end, while a new generation of stars like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland begins to take over.
Through these games, I share my thoughts on football, memory, and the stories that connect different generations of players.
And maybe, this is exactly what makes football so special — it is always about both the past and the future, at the same time.
