The Overlap ·

2022/04/14

In the second pod of the week, we delve into the results from the Champions League quarterfinals, which saw City, Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Villarreal (!!!) go through to the semifinals. We decided that this week would be a good a time as ever to not only review each tie in detail, but also get into a spirited debate about how some of these teams (*cough Atletico cough*) played over two legs, and whether or not there's a "right" or "wrong" way to play.

Episode 148: We Love This Game

The Overlap ·

2022/02/28
