Summary

We’ve got two SEISMIC bits of football news to get stuck into today! First up, despite coming into the game as the unfancied underdogs, Arsenal put in a performance for the ages and won the Champions League! Rachel and Chloe discuss their own experiences of Saturday’s final and praise a phenomenal effort from Renée Slegers and her players.

Then, our preview of England’s upcoming Nations League fixtures gets interrupted by the shocking news that Mary Earps has retired from the Lionesses with immediate effect! We wonder how this will affect the side’s preparation for the Euros and what may have prompted such an immediate decision from the legendary keeper.
