The latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast covers the latest headlines in the soccer culture-verse, including what it means to have a national team manager from a different country, Real Madrid’s disappointing 2024-25 season, and what’s sure to be a fantastic second leg of UEFA Champions League semifinal matchups.
As we near the end of the 2024-25 international football season, there’s been a hot stove of storylines firing from all corners of the globe. We start things off in the United States, where the Vancouver Whitecaps have continued a surprise dominant campaign by advancing to the finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup over Inter Miami. In addition to Vancouver’s success, we discuss the issues at Inter Miami, who have struggled to win major trophies with their star-studded roster.
We then get into the national team setup, where former United States men’s national team manager Bruce Arena made headlines with his comments about current boss Mauricio Pochettino, followed by the UEFA Champions League and Real Madrid’s mercurial first season with Kylian Mbappe.
