Episode Notes

In this final show before the World Cup, Musa and Ryan take a quick look back on the season and have a chat about a few of their favourite moments, including some players who stepped up, incredible finals and more.

They then have a quick chat about Florentino Pérez’s election victory, which has cleared the path for José Mourinho to return to Real Madrid after leaving in 2013 (31:36), before briefly looking ahead to the men's World Cup (31:26), which begins this Thursday.

Also, another shout for Musa’s interview with Zohran Mamdani for GQ here. Tickets for our July live show, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre, are available here.

Finally, make sure you check out Kickback, who are currently doing country by country previews on their First Touch ‘26 Country Pods. Musa and Ryan joined David Gass on this week's episode here.
