Hello everybody and welcome back to the Football Vision podcast. I'm your host, Phil Costa,

and I would like to start this episode off with a big thank you.

As many of you will know,

we spoke with Julian Lauren for the first episode

about all things PSG,

including Neymar, Messi,

and what life might look like beyond Killian Mbapé

who'll accept to join Rail Madrid this summer.

Obviously, I was really excited to launch this episode, but never did I expect us to peek

at number two in the US and at number three in the UK across all football podcasts.

That's absolutely mad, and it wouldn't have happened without your support.

So genuinely, a big thank you to everyone

who listened, left reviews and sent in messages. It really is appreciated. One more thing before we

start. I would like to apologise to the people of Wales for some of my pronunciations in this

podcast. I have now been corrected and will never say Kimru again.

It should be pronounced Khamri, and that's how it will remain. Please forgive me and enjoy the show.

For this week's episode, we've got journalist and author Christopher Evans in the hot seat,

who has written for Nation.comru,past Magazine, NME, and others.

But more importantly, has just released a book titled Los Leones, the unique story of Athletic Club Bilbao, which charts the historical, political and social context of this special club.

Christopher, welcome to the show. How's it going?

Yeah, good. Thanks. Thanks for having me on.

It's a pleasure to come on. I'm really excited about this. Well, it's great to have you here.
