S2 Ep64: Champions League Final Review

Manchester City's incredible season came to a disappointing end, losing 1-0 to Chelsea in the Champions League final. We've had a few days to reflect on the defeat and have reluctantly returned to the microphone to diagnose what went wrong for City. There's no definitive conclusion and we discuss a confluence of factors that contributed to the result, ranging from lineup decisions to tactics and simply, Chelsea being a really good team.
