0:00.0	Imagine you, you in a nice comfy seat with your hands behind your head, taking in the views,
0:09.6	instead of taking on the road, maybe even taking a nap. That's the bliss of getting where you
0:15.5	need to go without worrying about driving. Book your train journey via avantiwascoast.co.uk
0:23.0	and we'll take you there. Avantiwascoast, feel good travel.
0:30.9	Hello, welcome to the game football podcast from The Times. I'm Hugh Wasncroft. Today,
0:39.0	Messi and Ronaldo failed to make it to the last 16 of the Champions League. Is it the long
0:43.9	goodbye? At Manchester United have a football director? What direction does that take a club in,
0:49.8	though? We'll tell you all about vertical football and mark 20 years of Daniel Levy as Tottenham's
0:55.8	chairman. Tell me through it all, Gregor Robertson, Tom Clark and Jonathan Northcroft. I've
1:00.8	dispensed with the niceties, as no one ever says hello to me. So let's just get straight into it.

1:36.1	over with a chance to leave the club on a free transfer this summer. Ronaldo, by the way, will have
1:41.6	a year left on his deal this summer as well. So decisions for both of them to make. Ronaldo,
1:46.5	of course, has won six Champions League titles. Messi has won four. Jonathan, the real question I
1:52.2	want to ask you is, do you think they will ever win one again? I don't think they will, actually,
1:58.4	even at free transfers, which are likely to be in the summer, the financials of signing either
2:05.6	than are crazy. And I think Messi missed the moment of going to Manchester City. I don't see
2:13.0	any of the really top clubs that geared up for winning the Champions League. Maybe PSG, but I don't
