Season 02 - Ep. 16 - "Every Italian remembers his face" feat. Luca
It's Friday, ladies and gents, and you know what that means!
Ruairi and Tommi are ready to discuss everything Champions League, but first you can't miss the most important headline of them all: the Wanda Nara-Mauro Icardi scandal, as Maxi Lopez asks his followers... does kharma really exist?!
As for the actual football, it's time to take a thorough look at the Champions League as we get halfway through the group stage: as AC Milan seem incapable of picking up points, Inter do their job at the San Siro, Juventus stick to highly effective 1-0 wins and all of the English teams come out victorious. But is Manchester United's model sustainable? Liverpool and Bayern look terrifying: are they the favourites to win it all? And how far exactly can this Ajax team go?
It's then time to jump to our Weekly Topic, as Italian football expert and friend of the show Luca takes us back all the way to the 2002 World Cup to analyse one of the craziest football games to ever take place. Red cards, controversial penalties and an overall refereeing scandal: how much do you remember of *that* Italy-Korea game?!
Finally, it's time for our customary One Minute to Kickoff: Quiz! How many point will Ruairi score answering seven questions about the Sky Bet Championship? Tune in and find out!
