Leah Williamson seeking Champions League validation & the man behind Wrexham's Premier League march

from The Sports Agents

Our special guest today is Leah Williamson, who led England women to Euros glory at Wembley. She's hoping to make history again at the weekend as Arsenal take on Barcelona in the Champions League final. It's been 18 years since an English women's team won it - could they do it with a manager in Renee Slegers who was an interim just months ago? Would that victory validate Williamson as a fully one-club woman and make Arsenal a superpower again? Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Wrexham became the first team in English football history to win 3 successive promotions. We speak to the man who started it all, Humphrey Ker. How did Football Manager and "Sunderland 'Til I Die" play a big part in the takeover? And how long before Wrexham reach the Champions League?Plus, Gabby and Mark react to Crystal Palace winning their first major trophy, Serena Williams showing up as Chelsea Women win the FA Cup, and Scottie Scheffler storming to his third major.
