Welcome to Transfers that shook the world, a summer series for The Athletic FC looking back on the moves that sparked fury and saw heroes become villains. Today we’re heading back to July 2000 - when Luís Figo did the unthinkable and made the move from Barcelona to Real Madrid… It was a transfer that sent shockwaves through La Liga and went down in footballing folklore - but a quarter of a century later, how is it viewed now? And how pivotal was it in shaping the modern day Real Madrid?

Jimbo's got Michael Cox, Matt Davies-Adams and Tom Williams alongside him to look back on two incredibly dramatic semi-final clashes at Euro 2025. It's England and Spain who progress to Sunday's final in Basel after a double dose of extra time - with the Lionesses relying on super-subs Michelle Agyemang & Chloe Kelly yet again to turn things around against Italy, while for the world champions it was the best player in the world Aitana Bonmatí who produced a moment of magic in their 1-0 victory over Germany. We've got the latest transfer news - with Ekitike officially in at Liverpool, Gyökeres all but officially in at Arsenal - and Alexander Isak NOT joining up with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of east Asia due to injury... Elsewhere, we mark the 25th anniversary of surely the most controversial transfer in history - when Luís Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid, on this day back in the year 2000. And it’s the second Inter Totally semi-final with Julien Laurens and Tom Williams duking it out for a place in the final... Produced by Lucy Oliva.

James discusses the key moments and all the fallout from the Club World Cup Semi Finals as Chelsea and Paris St Germain clinched their spot on Sunday's final. Joao Pedro starred in Chelsea's win, there's discussion on how he differs from Chelsea's other attackers and on Enzo Maresca's latest tactical tweaks that worked so well in the victory against Brazilians Fluminense.

There's a focus on Madrid's individualism in their players against the clear team ethic and quality of the Parisians, who themselves look like they could be about to dominate football. It doesn't mean Chelsea can't beat them though... but it also doesn't mean PSG aren't the best around if they do...

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. Today, Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper explore the remarkable life and career of Luis Enrique, fresh off delivering Paris Saint-Germain’s first-ever Champions League title. From leading Barcelona to a historic treble in 2015 to now rewriting PSG's narrative in Europe, Enrique’s managerial legacy is already carved into footballing folklore. But behind the silverware lies a deeply personal story; one of resilience, heartbreak, and unshakable determination. In 2019, Enrique stepped away from football during his time as Spain’s national team coach after the tragic death of his 9-year-old daughter, Xana, who lost her battle with bone cancer. The podcast reflects on how he faced unimaginable grief and later returned to the sidelines with a renewed sense of focus, channeling his pain into purpose. We also explore the lesser-known side of Enrique — the ultramarathon runner, the iron-willed competitor, and the fitness fanatic who demanded relentless physical commitment from his players. His obsession with endurance has shaped not only the way his teams play but also the culture he instills: high pressing, relentless movement, and mental toughness. Where does Luis Enrique’s legacy stand now? From Gijón to Camp Nou to Paris, and from personal tragedy to professional triumph — this is a story of more than just football. It’s about the making of a modern great. 0:00 Introduction and Personal Reflection 00:32 Luis Enrique's Early Life and Background 04:15 Football Beginnings and Early Career 07:03 Transition to Real Madrid and Barcelona 16:06 International Career and Notable Incidents 22:52 Post-Playing Career and Coaching Beginnings 29:07 Luis Enrique's Coaching Journey 31:01 Barcelona's Missed Opportunity with Luis Enrique 32:36 Luis Enrique's Success at Celta Vigo 32:49 Barcelona's Second Chance with Luis Enrique 35:41 The Messi Conundrum 37:54 Luis Enrique's Triumphs and Challenges at Barcelona 44:53 The Tragic Loss of Luis Enrique's Daughter 47:15 Return to the Spanish National Team 52:26 Luis Enrique's Tenure at PSG 01:00:36 The Emotional Impact of Luis Enrique's Journey 01:02:41 Conclusion and Reflections Hosted on Acast.

On Clash of the Correspondents James is joined by Manchester City fan Jonny Pringle and Bournemouth fan Neil Grover to discuss an important week ahead for both clubs ahead of their Gameweek 37 meeting next Tuesday at The Etihad. For City there's the small matter of Saturday's FA Cup Final to contend with first, and by the time they face The Cherries they could be down to sixth as they bod to finish in the top 5. Bournemouth themselves need City to win the Cup and will then be hoping for slip ups from Brentford and Brighton as they aim for a first ever qualification for European football. What should FPL managers who own the likes of Josko Gvardiol, Kevin De Bruyne and Omar Marmoush do considering City don't play untol after the Cup Final? Should they be binned? And can those who gambled on a returning Erling Haaland have the confidence to captain him? And Bournemouth assets are likely to prove very popular too on final day when they host relegated Leicester. Discussion includes chat on Evanilson, Justin Kluivert, Milos Kerkez and Dean Huijsen, who seems bounds for Real Madrid following an outstanding season. Plus, should we expect City to go big in the market in the Summer and does the Club World Cup matter?

Jamie Carragher, Paul Scholes and the returning Gary Neville are back with another unmissable episode of The Overlap Fan Debate brought to you by Sky Bet. We kick things off with Liverpool fan Gareth who gives us his take on the reaction to Trent Alexander-Arnold's appearance ahead of his rumoured move to Real Madrid. Were there boos from the home crowd? Is the fanbase divided over Trent’s decision? We then shift focus to Wembley and the upcoming FA Cup Final. Palace fan Dan (HLTCO) and City fan Luke join the debate as we ask whether Crystal Palace should be confident heading into the showdown or if Pep Guardiola’s City side will once again dominate under the arch. Finally we tackle the Europa League Final between Manchester United and Spurs. Who needs this more? Gary has some strong words about Rúben Amorim United’s direction and what’s at stake if they fail to qualify for the Champions League. If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe!

Real Madrid are reportedly making two major changes, dropping Carlo Ancelotti for Xabi Alonso and bringing in Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold as a right sided defender and ludicrous passer. We discuss how all of this may, or may not, but probably will, but exactly how well will it work out? Support the show

The boys discuss a busy weekend in the Premier League as Southampton frustrate Manchester City, Newcastle move into 3rd place and Nottingham Forest send their "owner" into meltdown mode. Plus, we all knew it was possible that Liverpool fans would turn on Trent Alexander-Arnold but I'm not sure any of us thought it would look quite like that. Then, we share our thoughts on Barcelona going 4-for-4 against Real Madrid in 2024-25 and we wonder what the next 5 years will look like in this rivalry. And finally, we discuss Minnesota United FC's signature win over Inter Miami, the LA Galaxy's signature loss to the Red Bulls and Andrew's Mother's Day dilemma.
