Out with the old, in with the new

Sometimes a fresh coat of paint just won’t cut it. PSG and Barcelona have gone for a full renovation! PSG have ditched the superstar era and doubled down on youth, while Barça have traded Xavi’s caution for Hansi Flick’s ‘have a go’ approach - and it’s already paying off.Dotun, Andy & David Cartlidge explain why they think they saw the eventual winners of this year's Champions League on Wednesday night. They also discuss what could be next for Real Madrid post-Ancelotti and why Xabi Alonso might have to give the estate agent a call to call off that house viewing in Düsseldorf.Ask us a question on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: [email protected] ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
