Yes Branno went to see Eric Cantona play live in Dublin last night and reports towards the end of today’s show, after we talk about Stuart Dallas, Pep Guardiola’s watch, and the sad crackdown on Freedom of Speech in the Netherlands.


Beñat Gutierrez joins us from the Kalimotxo-crazed city of Bilbao which is currently revelling in the first major trophy celebration in 40 years. We talk about whether Barcelona are credible contenders for the Champions League.
