#254 | w/ La Liga's Ollie White

That's The Way The Cookie Crumbles

The returning Ollie White is the former Digitals Communications Specialist for Valencia CF & currently works for La Liga, as their English Social Media Manager.

This week, Lew and Ollie discuss if it’s possible for Lamine Yamal to win Ballon d'Or, if Barcelona win the Champions League. The La Liga title race slowly falling out of the hands of Real Madrid and fun clubs in Spain that you need to watch!

We’re also breaking down two juicy European matchups in Athletic Bilbao vs Manchester United and Real Betis vs Fiorentina. In a football world driven by money and superstars, Athletic Club constantly remind us what identity and expression can achieve. Before they play Manchester United, we dive into their incredible journey, powered entirely by Basque born talent. Can Ruben Amorim’s men can handle the heat at San Mames?

Then we shift to Seville, where Real Betis host a gritty Fiorentina side in their first ever European semi final match in the clubs history! Immortality beckons for Isco, Antony and co, who could become the first Spanish side to reach the Europa Conference League final.
