European Super Cup Preview: Godin, Griezmann & a Good Summer for Simeone
Hola Big Interview listeners!All eyes will be on Tallinn on Wednesday evening, where city rivals Atleti and Real Madrid will compete for the European Super Cup.In this special preview episode I take a close look at the two clubs and determine who will be happier with their summer transfer business. For Atleti, the fact that Jan Oblak, Antoine Griezmann and Diego Godin are all still in red and white can be regarded as significant successes, while Madrid have brought in a new manager and lost a talisman: Cristiano Ronaldo.This is an incredibly intriguing contest. And it all starts here with the Big Inside View.Enjoy!Graham Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.
