Real Madrid and Liverpool football clubs meet in the 2022 UEFA Champions League final in a repeat of the 2018 final. Both these two European Aristocratic clubs had met in the 1981 European Champions Cup final in Paris back in 1981 - same venue for this year's final.
I have gathered in the Pod three passionate Madridstas in Seun Oreks, Aisha Atitiola and Achopa Ezeuduma. They are quietly confident of a Real Madrid win. That is what Real fans do!
According to Tunji Oke, Barcelona's 5-0 demolition of Real Madrid in December 2010 "was a performance." In this episode of our 'Five Series', Tunji is joined by Peter Ntephe, Yomi Okunowo and Nanu Ugwu to recall 5 memorable matches they have watched.
Yomi was at the Maracana Stadium to see James Rodriguez score THAT goal at the 2014 World Cup.. Peter recalls the feeling as Nigeria U23s rally to beat Brazil at the Atlanta '96 football event.
Hope you enjoy it..
Apart from Pele, Diego Maradona, Leo Messi, Ronaldo da Lima, Cristiano Ronaldo, there have been so many really special footballers over the years.
In this special episode dedicated to my late brother and friend Funso Oke, I was able to gather my friends who have watched this game for decades really. Sola Aiyepeku, Tunji Oke, Obafela Bank-Olemoh and Yomi Okunowo chose their favourite footballers down the years.
There were some really special players there and memories..
A John Terry slip in the soggy pitch in Moscow 2008 was followed by an atrocious refereeing performance Vs Barcelona in 2009 to leave Chelsea fans wondering if they will ever get to the Champions League Holy Grail.
In Munich in 2012, nobody gave them a chance vs Bayern at the Allianz Arena. Somehow, it happened. Nine years later, Thomas Tuchel's team defeated Man City to win Chelsea's 2nd CL win.
I have gathered Chelsea fans in the pod to describe their feelings during those two matches apart. This is the 2nd part of the CL Wins mini-series. Liverpool fans have already shared theirs. Nanu, Sola and Dapo are in Lagos and join Kay who is in Abuja.
I started by asking them a question...
Liverpool Football Club are English football best and most successful export with their six wins in the continent's top tournament - the Champions Cup/UEFA Champions League.
In this mini-series, we speak to fans of Premier League clubs who have won the tournament to recount their memories of those wins. Regulars Akin Dawodu,Lakunle Yusuf are joined by Ikwerreman, Emeka Nwabudike and Lanre Adeola to look back on those nights.
It was fun and we hope you enjoy it.
Abu Azeez, Bimboh Adekoya, Rotimi Dada and Ruth Odunayo join Calvin Emeka Onwuka in the pod to preview Arsenal's 2023/24 Season. They are united in their belief that at least the Premier League title will arrive the Emirates trophy room while there are those who believe that a double is possible.
It was quite interesting. Before they started out I asked them to choose their favourite Arsenal players. Henry, Bergkamp and Kanu got mentions.
