Nick joins Taylor for the final European football episode of the 2022/23 campaign, covering the Champions League Final, the Conference League Final, the FA Cup Final, the DFB Pokal Final, and the final matchdays for Serie A and La Liga.
Our European football experts begin with an extensive analysis of the UCL Final, where Inter Milan fought fiercely but were ultimately unable to stop Manchester City from finally winning their first UCL trophy. They discuss the lineups, tactics, and performances that entailed a highly entertaining Final in Istanbul.
The duo then breaks down the Conference League Final, where Fiorentina enjoyed long spells of possession but weren't clinical enough to finish off West Ham. A brilliant second half produced all the action, which ultimately concluded with a stunning Jarrod Bowen breakaway goal in the 90' to seal the Hammers' first trophy since the 1980 FA Cup.
Next, the duo briefly discusses the FA Cup Final and the DFB Pokal Final, where City conquered their arch-rivals of Man United in the first-ever FA Cup Final derby and where Leipzig retained the German Cup after winning it for the first time last season.
Finally, our experts examine the final matchdays in Italy and Spain, which proved to be extremely entertaining in Italy and characteristically boring in Spain. Atalanta, Roma, and Juventus battled for the two open Europa League spots while Spezia and Helles Verona fought desperately to avoid relegation. Meanwhile, Osasuna and Athletic Club Bilbao scrapped for the Conference League spot and nearly half the league fought to avoid relegation alongside Espanyol and Elche.
