Morning Footy: A soccer show from CBS Sports Golazo Network

The Morning Footy crew kicks things off with a deep dive into the underdog story of the season: Bodø/Glimt are Europa League semifinalists—yes, really. How have the Norwegian minnows managed this historic run? Then, Claudia Pagan delivers the day’s headlines, including the biggest one of all: Lionel Messi is undecided about playing in the 2026 World Cup. What would his absence mean for Argentina’s hopes of defending their title?

Manchester United are through to the Europa League semifinals—but not without putting their fans through it. The Morning Footy crew breaks down the wild remontada against Lyon: Will this dramatic comeback spark a turnaround for the Red Devils? How much credit does Ruben Amorim deserve for the extra-time revival? And what still needs fixing before they face a red-hot Athletic Club? Then, Geoff Shreeves joins the show to reflect on a memorable night at Old Trafford and what Tottenham’s gritty win in Frankfurt means for Ange Postecoglou’s project. Plus, we dive into Arsenal’s stunning victory over Real Madrid and ask the big question: where does Mikel Arteta rank among Europe’s elite managers?
