The Transfer Flow Podcast

Show Notes

Real Madrid were 3-1 down in the 83rd minute and won 4-3 on three corners in seven minutes. Nobody should be convinced.

Patrick is joined by Neel Shelat to break down a chaotic UEFA Champions League week: Real Madrid’s escape against Roma, PSG exposing Man City’s pressing, Man United’s loss to Atletico Madrid, Barcelona’s attack led by Lamine Yamal, and Viking’s 3-3 draw with Bayern Munich.

Over on Patreon, we look at the surprising teams near the top of the Premier League: Brentford, Brighton and Everton.
