Football Ramble
On The Continent: The end of an era edition
•
Dotun and Andy are joined by France football expert Jonathan Johnson for the most farewells we’ve ever had on OTC!
We discuss whether Zlatan Ibrahimović really leaves behind legendary status at any of his clubs, the reasons behind Karim Benzema’s sudden Real Madrid exit, and just how Lionel Messi will be remembered in Paris after what Jonathan argues has been two seasons of regression. At least Neymar (aka Barney Gumble) is still there though…
Plus, the small matter of this weekend’s Champions League finale!
