Let’s talk about all of that and more! This is what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works Show:
- What did we learn from the Club World Cup? FIFA is already making some changes for next summer’s World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain is human after all (Chelsea FC tore them apart), and Bayern Munich has some work to do.
