One World Sports: Worldwide Champions League SuperShow




Beyond The Pitch show

Summary: Three broadcasters join in from around the world for a supershow quite like none other to take a look at three clubs moving in very different directions in the forms of Arsenal, AC Milan and PSG who either sharpening their sights on silverware and possibility or resetting in the wake of unmet expectations as key Champions League battles ensue at virtually every corner of the football world. We begin with Phil Schoen from BeIN Sport to examine the new wrinkle in the season for Arsenal as suddenly and opening to silverware has emerged from the ashes of a difficult midweek out against reigning European champions Bayern Munich and we also explore the recent issues at Barcelona and the outlook for the US National Team come June. Up next is Italian player transfer specialist and Sky Italia journalist Gianluca DiMarzio who helps us dig into the matter of an AC Milan transition that now has rocked the club to its very core, including the uphill climb that sits before its new first year manager Clarence Seedorf amid questions of Silvio Berlusconi seeking new investors and bold new questions about the direction for the football club in the seasons ahead. Then we check in with PSG TV and BBC commentator Paul Sarahs to look all across the globe at all the continental skirmishes and footballing trends from the AFC to UEFA and then from the Copa Libertadores to the CONCACAF Champions League. Lots here on the competitions in the spotlight and we even take a stop inside Turkish football to reveal yet one more problem plaguing the game in Turkey and what it means to one of the most intense rivalries in all of the sport.
