In Episode 3 of The CC Tapes, we travel back to the 2003–04 Champions League quarterfinal between AS Monaco and Real Madrid—when Fernando Morientes, cast off and loaned out by Madrid, came back to haunt his former club with two legs of pure, poetic vengeance.

It’s a story of tactical defiance, emotional violence, and a striker who reminded the world—you don’t just discard a legend.

This was the first full Champions League tournament I ever followed—and it gave me everything: control, chaos, and romance.
