Leo Messi's transition into free agency was a big story yesterday, so here's why I think he's probably not going, but he won't stay until he shapes his final years at FC Barcelona as much as he can while in a position of maximum leverage. Then we talk Spain v Switzerland and Italy v Belgium, and why Sergio Busquets has proved to be so influential for La Roja. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hola!We’ve dipped into The Big Interview archive to serve you up a nice little slice of Sven-Goran Eriksson, in which he reflects on the relationship between Roberto Mancini and Gianluca Vialli at Sampdoria. He tells us not only how the Goal Twins ran the dressing room and effectively the whole club, but also how Mancini the artist could turn into a raging bull.The two men are reunited in the Italy dugout for Euro 2020 and will attempt to negotiate the Azzurri's passage to the semi-final against Belgium tomorrow evening. Listen out for my Bet365 Player of the Day after we hear from Eriksson.EnjoyGraham Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.

The under-the-radar stars of Euro 2020 (so far)
A blessed day of rest, so a good chance to get through some of your questions. Including: which of the lesser-known players would I go for if I was FINALLY in charge of a major European club? Who are the equivalents of Rio, Wrighty and Ally on Spanish television's coverage? And which England player has unlocked Harry Kane's mojo? Hosted on Acast.
