S4 E7 - Lyon's youthful silver linings, the lavish genius of Sergej Milinković-Savić, and the capricious case of João Félix
Alasdair, Barlow and Michael are joined by Alex Collings (of Scouted Football, Football Per 90, and Pot Shot Podcast fame) to discuss and analyse the latest European football news. The boys look at Fiorentina's contrasting fortunes domestically and in Europe, Lyon's existentialism, the apparent decline of Schalke's erstwhile prestigious youth academy, Real Valladolid's purple patch, and more. Now in his fourth season at Atlético de Madrid, what does the future hold for 22-year-old João Félix? What have been the main factors behind Schalke's failure to reacclimatise to the Bundesliga? How would we assess Juninho's two-and-a-half-year tenure as Lyon's Sporting Director, and what was the wider significance of his departure from that role at the end of 2021? Which underlying statistic illustrates the extent to which Lazio have evolved tactically under Maurizio Sarri?
