#JustSports 62: Premier League, Winter Olympics and more
•
Samar Khan and Rahul Puri are back with their weekly round-up of sports. They talk about five English clubs making it to the Champion's League this season. All the clubs qualified on top of their respective groups except for Chelsea. Rahul also talks about the high possibility of the English clubs ending up in the quarterfinals. In cricket, they talk about the ongoing Ashes series. Rahul says that though England seem to have lost by a high margin in both the tests on paper, in reality, they have given a good fight back. He also says England lost the game due to a poor spin attack. In the last part of their discussion, they talk about how important it was to ban Russia from the Winter Olympics. All this and more on this week's Just Sports. Listen up.
