Finals Preview

Christian Polanco and guest-co-host Christine Cupo talk about the vacancy left from Gregg Berhalter's firing, plus a recap of the Euro and Copa semi-finals and a finals preview.

It’s the last European edition of the season, with Matt Davies-Adams standing in for Jimbo, alongside James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo. One story dominating the news across the continent and that’s Kylian Mbappe’s decision to snub Real Madrid and stay at PSG. We discuss the 4-year obsession with Mbappe, the feeling of betrayal and the very impressive young man at the centre of it all. At the end of one of the best Serie A seasons in years, Milan breeze past Sassuolo to claim their first Scudetto in 11 years, all thanks to their recruitment model. Michiel Jongsma tells us about the threat Feyenoord pose to Roma in the Conference League final. But ultimately the Giallorossi trust in Mourinho. Plus Karanka’s Granada go down, another Lille exodus and could Pogba and Di Maria rejuvenate Juve?
