Summary

Grant is joined by his wife, Dr. Celine Gounder (at 23:42), for 10 good minutes on what she thinks MLS should be doing to stage games in the middle of a pandemic. She explains her thoughts on Dallas (and other teams) allowing fans in home venues and whether she thinks a second bubble would be a better call for MLS. Before that, Grant breaks down the soccer news with Chris Wittyngham, including PSG's dramatic 2-1 comeback win in Champions League against Atalanta; this week's quarterfinals of Leipzig-Atlético Madrid, Barcelona-Bayern Munich and Manchester City-Lyon; and Portland's 2-1 win in the MLS final against Orlando City.
