The Friday morning podcast where a special guest drops by to preview the biggest match across world football over the coming weekend.
It might be a famous old rivalry, like the Superclásico or the North London derby. There may be stories from behind the scenes about what it means to represent one of the clubs involved as a player or a fan. Or there might just be a title bout in the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Serie A, or beyond:
