Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I want to tell you why I love podcasting.

Hi, my name's Tommy Dixon, and I make podcasts for the BBC.

I'm a big fan of stories, always loved a good book.

But when I started commuting for my first job, I discovered podcasts.

I was blown away by how a creative idea and the right mixture of sounds could take you into

a whole new world full of incredible stories. You know, the type that make you go, wow. And that kind of inspired me to

give it a go myself, which, to cut a long story short, led to a BBC training scheme and a whole

new career giving other people that exact same feeling. So if you want to hear amazing stories

that make you go wow, like I did, they're just a tap or click away on BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

This is Five Live Sport.

The EuroLeaks with John Bennett.

Listen on BBC Sounds.

Hello and welcome to Euroleagues. I'm John Bennett and joining me on this episode, Guillem Ballaget, Julien LaRons and James Horncastle. Hello to all of you.

And it's the first time, guys, that I've spoken to you since the end of the Champions League League stage. So before we get started, I have an official apology for one of you.

I wonder if you can guess which one it is.

It's to Mr. J. LaRons.

I hereby apologise for consistently saying every week on the Euroleague's podcast in 2024, but also early in 2025 as well, that Paris Saint-Germain would get knocked out in the first round.

You did.

I also apologise for saying that Louis-S.Ricke was not doing a very good job and that on paper it wasn't a great team because little did I know julienne that they would suddenly turn

into an absolute goal scoring machine um do you accept my apology of course i do because i love you

dearly so no problem i think there was a lot of people like you uh in fron including julian
