Fairy tale leaves arrogant empire in a dark place

from The Optus Football Podcast

Craig Moore, Paul Okon and Thomas Sorensen join David Weiner after Tottenham and Ajax secured their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals. In another show full of opinions, with a mix of fabulous stories from days gone by, the panel dissect the end of Real Madrid's era and the club's arrogance, headlined by Sergio Ramos' suspension, and look at the magical journey Ajax are on. What is the secret to their production line of talent, and what now for the dethroned Champions League winners. Tottenham's Premier League-Champions League balancing act is up for discussion, as are Borussia Dortmund's wobbles with Bayern Munich breathing down their neck; Mario Balotelli's Instagram Live goal celebration; Mohamed Salah's wavering form; a debate on the best player outside the PL top six; Jose Mourinho's future - and potential Real candidacy; and a closer inspection at who has the better run home in the title out of Manchester City and Liverpool. Former Melbourne City player Sorensen weighs in on Bruno Fornaroli's fallout at the A-League club, while former Socceroos captains Moore and Okon have their say on the brewing concerns over the continued absence of a technical director in Australian football. Moore and Sorensen pick their Dream Teammates Five-A-Side squads after Okon, Bridgey and Luke Wilkshire had a crack last week, and there are also some classic stories including their biggest fallouts with managers, most irritating sledges and the day, would you believe it, Okon leapt over the physio table to confront one of his club bosses.
