Ronaldo has everything: even Simeone's cojones




The GegenPod, presented by Optus Sport show

Summary: John Aloisi, Michael Bridges and Thomas Sorensen join David Weiner after another extraordinary day of UEFA Champions League action. We dissect Juventus' comeback against Atletico Madrid, Manchester City's demolition of Schalke and the latest twist in the GOAT discussion with Lionel Messi's Barcelona plotting a path to take Real Madrid's continental crown. The panel look at Zinedine Zidane's return to Los Blancos, and what that means for the likes of Gareth Bale, Sergio Ramos, Isco, Eden Hazard and Christian Eriksen. Arsenal of Wenger v Arsenal of Emery, Raheem Sterling, Claudio Ranieri's Roma return, Fabio Cannavaro's China job, Jack Grealish being attacked in the Championship and Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham power play are amongst the range of topics the panel discuss. Aloisi looks at Alen Stajcic's appointment at Central Coast and how a lack of a transfer system is weighing down the A-League, while, as ever, there's some terrific career anecdotes, including saving penalties off Alan Shearer, what it is like staring down Ronaldo at a set-piece and the fiercest environments faced by our panel and the most difficult losses to swallow in their careers.
