Rog and Rory return in our pod series exploring the history of European football's biggest ties. First up, Rory recounts his experience at the Bernabéu last week to watch Benzema's incredible hat trick (2:49). The main story today is Juventus, their tradition at the pinnacle of Italy, the Calciopoli scandal, and the abandonment of long term strategy that has led to their recent decline (8:38). Then, a quick look at the UK's sanctions on Roman Abramovich and how it will change ownership trends in football (27:35), and finally over to the Europa League to examine La Liga overachievers Real Betis and their incredible life philosophy (33:45).
