The World Cup is nearly here, and for the US Men's National Team, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will they leverage their boosted confidence, recent top-tier performances, and a squad more experienced than four years ago to make a historic run? Or will the unpredictable chaos of knockout football bring their dreams to a halt?

Well, PSG have gone back to back, making it the second time in Champions League history that a team has gone back-to-back. Luis Enrique had the opportunity to be the first back in 2016, but his time came 10 years later instead.
The final was a masterclass in defensive resilience, with PSG controlling possession for nearly 80% at one point and Arsenal struggling to unlock their deep block. Yet, the game could have tilted on a whim. A few missed chances off the post, directed the right way, we could be talking about a completely different game. And penalties. Oh, penalties. The cruelest way to lose a final. But, at the end of the day, someone has to win.
We cover the CL final as well as the Europa and Conference League finals in this episode!

How else do you describe a Champions League semi-final featuring last year's winner and this year's favorite? Pure. Cinema. A 5-4 finish that, frankly, left us forgetting who won the game.
On this week's episode, we cover both legs of the Champions League semi-final and a recap of the title races in England and La Liga. Spoiler: it all comes down to El Clasico next week for Barcelona and likely the last day of the season in England!
