On The Continent - A European Football Podcast

In the first of our series of nation previews ahead of the World Cup, we take a close look at the summer's popular dark horses: Norway. Back on the world stage for the first time since 1998 - and with some big players in their ranks - the Norwegians are certainly getting a lot of attention. But can this golden generation handle the pressure? Dotun and Andy are joined by the best person to ask, Lars Sivertsen!

Lars discusses the importance of Erling Haaland and Martin Ødegaard, the exciting in-form players across this Norway team, and the remarkable journey of their often under-fire manager, Ståle Solbakken. And let's hope that his predictions of 'big man big man big man' up top come true...

Paris Saint-Germain have done it again! It's back to back Champions League victories for Luis Enrique and his post-Mbappé project, so how long can they keep it up for?

Lars Sivertsen joins Andy to dissect the game and explore the options PSG have going into the off-season. Can they resist the temptation of returning to the superstars? Will they reach further into the talent bank that is the city of Paris? And might we see these two finalists again next year?

Anthony Gordon’s blistering rise has made him one of football’s hottest properties, but even we couldn't have predicted a move to Barcelona for a reported €80 million. Where does he fit into Hansi Flick's star-studded attack, if at all?

Nicky Bandini joins Andy and Dotun for the final round of questions of this domestic season! Can Gennaro Gattuso revive Lazio? Are Bayer Leverkusen taking a risk on Filipe Luís? And how did a town of 13,000 reach Germany’s top flight?

European football's premier competition has rarely experienced a season with quite so much drama. And as it reaches its denouement, can anybody really predict the outcome of this year's Champions League final between the French champions PSG, and England's title-winners Arsenal?

Perhaps you can't, but Dotun is joined by Andy and Nicky Bandini to give you the lowdown on what you can predict. PSG's weaknesses, where Arsenal can expose them and (of course) what you should eat during the final. Before that though, disappointment for Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League. Plus, the fallout from Milan and Juventus failing to qualify for next season's Champions League.
