Summary

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Steve dive into the magic of European football. From Crouchy and Sid’s own European nights to the new tournament format that has everyone scratching their heads, the lads leave no stone unturned. They compare their away day experiences, training at some of Europe’s most iconic stadiums, and answer listener questions about everything from Tesco-transfer announcements to under-arm knocking etiquette (yes, really).

Expect plenty of laughs, insights on the upcoming fixtures, and a healthy dose of nostalgia as they recount tales from Milan, Barcelona, and beyond. We’ve even got a Champions League-themed quiz… unbelievable scenes.
