Episode 1411: Sweet Relief Of Real Defeat, Ramos The Movie, Amazing Ajax, Atletico Spurs, Joe Schmidt Mind Mender, Wales Push The Button
The Champions League is a very entertaining sports competition. Once again, it served up quite ridiculous levels of drama (and schadenfreude), as Ajax over-turned a 2-1 first leg deficit to beat Real Madrid 4-1 in the Bernabeu in one of the most popular results in European football history.
The most reassuring result in European football for years.
(Even allowing for eventuality that Ajax will be stripped for parts in record time)

Last summer, Ajax sat their 7 brightest stars down and showed them a video. Its theme was that they should stay for one more year and make themselves legends. https://t.co/zAgvqtym71

Ken talks (00.20 secs) Sergio Ramos, the sweet, sweet relief of defeat for Madrid, the brilliance of Ajax, and the next six months of back-biting, scapegoating and transfers that Real have to look forward to.

Plus there’s grassroots Murph, The L’Equipe 10, Atletico Spurs, and being red-pilled by Ken.
Known for its harsh player ratings, French sports magazine L’Équipe gave Dusan Tadic 10/10 for his performance for Ajax vs Real Madrid ????
It is only the 10th time a player receives such a score ???? pic.twitter.com/ljxucCJY80
