EXTRA TIME | EPISODE 03 – NO MORE PLAYING NICE The Champions League has delivered the drama, the results have raised plenty of questions, and now the players are having their say. In this episode of The Long Ball Podcast: Extra Time, we're digging into the latest European action, looking at how the Premier League sides performed and asking some uncomfortable questions about what went right, what went wrong and who's got some explaining to do. We also turn our attention to Manchester United's Lisandro Martínez and his explosive post-match comments. When players start speaking their minds, should we applaud their honesty or question whether they're making matters worse? From European disappointments to dressing-room frustrations, we're cutting through the excuses and getting stuck into the talking points. No sugar-coating. No hiding behind the badge.
