Onefootball Podcast

In this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Helge Wohltmann, Giacomo Galardini and Romain Welter. Atlético Madrid scooped the first European silverware of the season when they beat Marseille in Wednesday's Europa League final.  But how enjoyable to watch is Diego Simeone's brand of football? And could it all have been different for Marseille had Dimitri Payet stayed on the pitch? Then, with an expert on each of Europe's top five leagues on hand in the studio, it's time to hand out some awards.  It's the end of the season as we know it, and we run through our players of the year, managers of the year, disappointments of the year, and much more. Oh, and there's also some chat about how much we hate dogs (as pets) and fish (as food) too.

In this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by the Onefootball newsroom's Francesco Porzio, Phil Costa and Nathalia Araújo. They begin by getting their teeth into that absorbing Champions League semi-final second leg at the Bernabéu.  Were Bayern unlucky, or are they just not good enough to crowned kings of Europe? And does this Real Madrid team really deserve to be remembered as one of the Champions League's greatest ever? Joining Madrid in the final will be Liverpool, who squeezed past Roma despite a late wobble in the Olimpico.  Is the Champions League now Liverpool's to lose? And are we going to see another goal-fest in Kyiv? And the panel wrapped up the show by discussing the Serie A title race Napoli seem hell bent on ruining, and the Brasileiro Série A title race which has only just begun.

In this week's podcast, Dan Burke is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Tobi Herrmann, Alejandro Diago and Lewis Ambrose. With a Bayern Munich fan and a Real Madrid fan in the studio, where else to start but that not-so-enthralling Champions League semi-final first leg in the Allianz Arena. Where did it all go right for Madrid? Where did it all go wrong for Bayern? And is this the end of the 'BBC' as we know it? Next up, the team ran the rule over Liverpool's sensational 5-2 shellacking of Roma on Tuesday night. Is Mohamed Salah the greatest footballer ever to draw breath? Will Jürgen Klopp's final hoodoo finally come to an end this season? And why can't the Reds do it on a dry Saturday in West Bromwich? And with an Arsène Wenger accolyte on hand, the show ended on a rather sombre note as the boys reflected on the great man's 22 years in charge of Arsenal and pondered where the Gunners might go from here.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Danny Issroff. The episode kicks off with a Manchester City special. How did they win the league? What were the key moments? And what does Pep need to improve upon next season? And then we come to big question: Are they one of the greatest teams in Premier League history? After that it is time to switch attentions to another league winner: Wolves. The Midlands club are an interesting one. They have played some incredible football and won the league with ease but they are backed by a  lot of money and a very important agent. With all that done, time to go Stateside and MLS. There is plenty to talk about there. From Ibra's foray with LA Galaxy to the wayward form of Chicago via Toronto's terrific run in the Concacaf Champions League. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to  podcast@onefootball.com or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast an

On the Onefootball podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by Alex Mott, Andre Gonçalves and Philip Costa. This week's edition kicks off with the second legs of the Champions League quarter-finals and that game between Roma and Barcelona. And what a game it was. How did they do it? What went wrong for Barcelona? And is it the greatest Champions League comeback? The crew answer that and more. Elsewhere, there was Liverpool's expected progress – though was it because of the referee or the lack of Pep? – as well as that game amazing game between Real Madrid and Juventus.  Once that is done, there is some Europa League previewing and then it is time to turn attentions to the managerial merry-go-round. This past week saw some very interesting rumours emanating from Paris and from west London. The Paris ones were linking Thomas Tuchel to the PSG job and the London ones had Antonio Conte fired. Now one of those was total rubbish (for now?) but the other one is an interesting one. Is the Tuchel really the right man?

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose, Dan Burke and pod debutant Philip Costa This week's edition kicks off with the Champions League ... and what a week it was. Liverpool tonked Manchester City. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped to high to score a bicycle kick he almost mistook the Moon for the ball. Bayern nearly threw it away in Sevilla. And Roma scored three goal at the Camp Nou and still came away as losers. All of that, as well as your questions, is debated and discussed on the opening part of the podcast. For part deux, we are staying with the Premier League. There is a huge weekend ahead in the Premier League with not one but two massive cross-city games in Everton v Liverpool and Chelsea v West Ham United. Oh. And there is the small matter of the Manchester derby, a derby in which City can claim the Premier League title. It does not get much bigger than that, does it? And if you're lucky, there may even be some Alan Pardew chat, too. • If you want

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Daniel Cadena Jordan, Dan Burke and Danny Issroff. After the international break and before the return of top league action, it is time to see what we all learned from the games involving the big sides from Germany to Argentina via Brazil and a couple of others big sides in between. After that it has been a few weeks since the MLS got its own spot to it is time to correct that. The season may be just a few games old but there are already a number of interesting storylines opening up and, of course, there is the arrival of the man himself: Zlatan.  But that is not all ...

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's André Gonçalves, Helge Wohltmann and Alex Mott. First up is the Champions League draw. There has been a few days for the team to ponder over it all so it is time to ask some questions. Do Roma have a chance? Are Juventus underdogs against Real Madrid? And who will be progressing to the next round? All of that and more is answered. It is international break this week, so it is to take stock of what is going on with some of the major nations around the world ahead of Russia 2018. That means a path from Germany to Brazil via Spain and England and the major issues surrounding the squads of the World Cup. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to  podcast@onefootball.com or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Emilie Rauschütz. This week's edition of the podcast gets going with Champions League with the big, big news and that is Manchester United's exit from the Champions League. Who is to blame? What could have been done differently? And what on Earth is going on with those post-match quotes from José Mourinho? After that it is on to the rest of the Champions League action from Barcelona v Chelsea to Besiktas v Bayern via Roma v Shakhtar. With that done, it is time to talk about the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich are almost certainly going to win the title in record time despite the poor showing in the first part of the season. What does this say about the Bundesliga? And what is its future? The team discuss that and more. And the final topic up for discussion this week is West Ham. The team is a mess, the fans are unhappy and the club is at a crisis point. But how and why has all of this come about? Dan has the answers

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Daniel Cadena Jordan and Alex Mott. This week's edition of the podcast kicks off with the biggest games of the week: the Champions League. PSG are out. But who is to blame? Would it have been any different if Neymar had been there? And what do PSG need to do to step up to the next level. After that there is some Spurs chat as well as a few words – and we mean a few – on Manchester City and Liverpool's progression. With that out of the way, it is time to talk about what is, traditionally, one of the biggest games of the Premier League season, Manchester United v Liverpool. Since Liverpool got so much love last week, the focus is on Manchester United. And there are so many things to talk about. Has it been a disappointing season by their standards? How has Alexis got on? And how will Mourinho stop the Liverpool attack? After that, it is time to get excited about el Superclásico, Boca Juniors v River Plate. It has been a poor sea

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Daniel Issroff. It has been too long since the pod crew sat down and heaped some praise on Liverpool so they start off by correcting that. With that done it is time to get down and dirty with the return of MLS action this weekend. With that out of the way, it is time to get Onefootball's Francesco Porzio on the phone to talk Serie A and the Derby della Madonnina. Why are Milan so good all of a sudden? And why are Inter so bad all of a sudden? Francesco has the answers to that and more ahead of a huge weekend in Italy. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to  podcast@onefootball.com or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscribe to the podcast and give us a rating on iTunes • You can do the same on Android; and you can also listen on Audioboom, Soundcloud, Deezer, Stitcher and Spotify.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Konstantin Keller. First up is the Champions League. The starting point is the biggest game of the week, the one that saw Barcelona travel to Chelsea and the one that saw the Blues put in an impressive performance as Leo Messi finally proved he was a good player by scoring against a team he rarely plays against. Elsewhere, there is time to tackle Bayern's easy win, Manchester United's trip to Spain and Roma v Shakhtar Donetsk before some foolish predictions, that are almost certainly going to come back to bite, are made. With that out of the way, it is time to talk about the Bundesliga. Germany's top division recently had its first ever Monday night game and it did not go down well with the fans around the country. Konstantin is on hand to talk about that as well as the future for German football. Finally, this weekend sees the first domestic trophy being handed out in England as Manchester City take on Arsenal i

In this week’s podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom’s André Gonçalves and Alex Mott. And there is so so much to talk about. They kick off with the all the Champions League games and, to be exact, the big one: Real Madrid v PSG. It was billed as Ronaldo versus Neymar but it is obvious which one came out on top. But where and why did it all go right for Madrid and wrong for PSG? The crew have the answers to that and more. With that done, it is time to chat about Spurs’ magnificent comeback against Juventus as well as Manchester City’s crushing of Basel and Liverpool’s even better crushing of Porto. And finally, it is time to turn attentions to LaLiga. You may think it’s all about Barcelona and Real Madrid but there are plenty of other interesting stories going on and one of the best of the season concerns Eibar. Elsewhere, the crew ponder the chances of a proper title race and clear up AOB in Spain’s top division.

This week on the podcast, Dan Burke is joined in the studio by podcast debutants Alex Mott and Francesco Porzio. Reigning Premier League champions Chelsea suffered their second humbling defeat on the bounce on Monday evening. Is this the end of Antonio Conte and if so, who should Roman Abramovich be looking to replace him with? Elsewhere in England, there was an incredible game of football at Anfield on Sunday, but were the two very contentious refereeing decisions the most compelling argument for video technology yet? There’s also the small matter of the North London derby to look forward to at Wembley this weekend. Harry Kane v Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who will prevail? Over in Italy, there’s a proper title race going on. Can Napoli break Juve’s Scudetto hegemony and what’s going wrong at the two Milan giants? And with all that nonsense out of the way, it’s time to look ahead to the glorious return of the Champions League. Who will make it through to the last eight and who, if anyone, could be

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Dan Burke and Daniel Cadena Jordan. The January transfer window is done and dusted. And what a spectacular transfer window it was, with so much happening in the final day. The team analyse all the biggest deals and give their verdicts on how they think the deals will go. In the midst if all the transfer news, you might be surprised to learn that some actual football happened in the Premier League and, you might also be surprised to learn, there is a heck of a lot to talk about whether it be the tackles on Manchester City's players or the poor performance of Manchester United – yes the Onefootball podcast is part of the global media bias against Manchester United – or the rebirth of Swansea. With all that done, it is time to turn our attentions to MLS and the new franchise launched by David Beckham on Monday. Daniel is in place to give a brief history of football in southern Florida as well as a timeline of the deal and much more

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Lewis Ambrose, Emilie Rauschütz and Andrea Agostinelli. First up is the topic that is on everyone's lips for January: transfers! Alexis Sánchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have finally swapped clubs but who is getting the better deal? The team debate that one before moving onto to the rest of the latest transfer news. After that it is time to go continental and talk about some of the troubles at PSG and just what is going with Neymar?  With that done, we do our best to explain the Uefa Nations League and then it is off to the Bundesliga. The title race may be over but there is plenty to talk about at the bottom of the league, as well as with Bayern's latest signing. Finally, it has been so long since we talked all about Serie A, so it is time to correct that. Will Napoli win the league? Why are Roma selling their best players? Is Rafinha able to help Inter? Andrea is on hand to answer all that and more.

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's André Gonçalves and Lewis Ambrose once again. First up is the topic that is on everyone's lips at the moment: the future of Alexis Sánchez. He is obviously on his way out of Arsenal but now that Manchester City are out of the race, where will he end up? Chelsea? Manchester United? And how would he fit into those teams if he does go there? After that, the other big move on the horizon is Arsenal's move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. But why is he on his way out of Dortmund? And is he really the right player for the north London side? The team have their say on that and that awkward Ryan Giggs video. With that out of the way, it is time to talk about Real Madrid. They are now closer to the relegation zone in LaLiga than they are to Barcelona at the top of the table. But where is it all going wrong? Up front? at the back? In the middle? On the bench? Off the field? With that done, there is just enough time to get some appreciation

In this week’s podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom’s André Gonçalves and Lewis Ambrose. You know it’s January when it’s dark outside, everyone is depressed and there are more transfer stories than you can shake a stick at. With that in mind, it is time to talk all about the biggest deals so far, including (but not limited to) Coutinho’s move to Barcelona, Virgil van Dijk’s transfer to Liverpool and Ross Barkley to Chelsea. With that done, there are questions from listeners to be answered and there are questions re Arsenal to be answered. Arsène Wenger’s side are now out of the title race, out of the Champions League and out of the FA Cup. If he were to leave in the summer, would the club be in a worse state than when he arrived? And was he wrong to have a pop at the referees and their treatment of the north London club?

In this week's podcast, Ian McCourt is joined by the Onefootball newsroom's Daniel Cadena Jordan and Emilie Rauschütz. They get down to business by starting with the biggest game of the weekend and maybe of the season: El Clásico! What are the talking points for each side? Where will the game be won and lost? And a whole lot of other questions are put out there to be fawned over like a spoiled cat. With that done, it's time to move onto the second biggest game of the week (sorry, Arsenal v Liverpool): Der Klassiker!  What has changed so far under Peter Stöger? And what  has changed so far under Jupp Heynckes? And who is going to win? We have the low-down on all that and more.  The fun does not stop there. It is our last podcast this year so we have a look back at some of the highlights, lowlights and the best of the rest from the season so far. • If you want to get in touch with the podcast, then fire your emails to  podcast@onefootball.com or you can hit us up on Facebook and Twitter • You can subscr
