Summary

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Paul Clement from season one.

The tactical presentation that gave Paul palpitations; the reason they can’t leave the hotel as a team; the Ronaldo effect in the tunnel before the game; the staggered nature of the celebrations – and why, at Madrid, they never last too long.
