Spain's Thrilling Victory at the Euros!! And What It Says about Spanish Society.

This week Eoghan is joined by journalist Richard Fitzpatrick to discuss Spain’s incredible victory at the European Championships in Germany. Energised by its two daredevil wingers, Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, Spain won all seven matches at the tournament, while playing wonderful attacking, flowing football. Yet if Yamal and Williams offered the world another, more multicultural image of Spain, the team also visualised a number of important social contradictions too. Richard contributes to a number of outlets and newspapers, such as the BBC, The Irish Examiner and The New York Times. He is also the author of El Clásico: Barcelona v Real Madrid, Football’s Greatest Rivalry.
