Hello, welcome to Libero, the podcast about the least important of the least important things,

as Fabrizio Romano would tell us, because he's much more concerned about transfers.

We're putting out a kind of special edition today in which we have every single member

Before we get to that, as always, we really appreciate it when you like, when you subscribe, when you review, when you leave us positive complementary messages on Apple and YouTube and Spotify.

All of it really helps us exist in this algorithm-driven world and compete with podcasts who have multimillionaire former footballers backing them.

None of us played the game.

That's always been the problem.

We're going to start with Jonathan

Miguel has been quite stressed.

Okay. which might be bad, I don't know, Miguel has been quite stressed. Thanks, Flory. You join me as I stand by the pit head. I can hear a clanking,
