  • Episode 88 - Inter’s Big Win, PSG’s Big Problem | UCL Semi-Finals Reaction

    In this episode, Patrick and Neel break down Inter's dramatic win over Barcelona—a victory that almost slipped away due to their questionable lead management. Despite the victory, was Inter's performance really as solid as it seemed, or did they nearly throw it all away?

    On the other side, PSG survived a shaky start against Arsenal to secure their place in the final, but their early mistakes raise big questions. Can they correct those errors before the final? Are they prepared for the big stage, or will their issues come back to haunt them?

    Enjoy!
