S4 E16 - Xabi Alonso’s presupposed managerial destiny, Rayan Cherki's frustrating brilliance, and Atalanta’s new generation

Alasdair, Barlow and Michael discuss and analyse the latest European football news. The boys look at Sevilla’s Europa League love affair, Italian football’s apparent renaissance, Florian Wirtz's transformational post-ACL return to the Bayer Leverkusen squad, Lyon’s homegrown frontline, and more. 1:35 - What signs have we seen, if any, from Xabi Alonso's fledgling career in the dugout to suggest that he can fulfil his seemingly presupposed managerial destiny? / 12:41 - What is the wider significance of the decision taken by the Italian Olympic Committee’s Board of Guarantors to overturn the sizeable points deduction previously imposed on Juventus? / 29:11 - Where might Osasuna be able to have some joy against Real Madrid in the upcoming Copa del Rey final? / 43:39 - How have academy graduates Rayan Cherki and Bradley Barcola in particular benefitted from Lyon's decision to appoint Laurent Blanc as the club's new manager back in October?
