Daniel's story.

0:35.4

Hello James.

0:36.1

Hi. Daniel, do you remember that you're doing an Asian Cup? Yes, I did. I did. Done my homework. We'll see later on. How is everybody? Tom, you are? Very well, thanks. Great. Raffa, all splendid with you. Wonderful, thank you. That's good. Daniel, you are fresh back from Wednesday night's excitement at the Etihad, part of the

0:55.8

League Cup semi-finals this midweek. Two evenly matched first legs, just the one controversial goal

1:00.7

at Wembley between Spurs and Chelsea. Nine goals at the Etihad. Crucially, Burton Albion

1:05.3

didn't get an away goal. And how was it there, Daniel, for you? It was the most bizarre game I think I've ever seen. Really? Yeah, it was. There was a period of about 20 minutes in the first half where City went really lax and off the ball, and there were only 1-0 up at that point. And you kind of thought, oh, this is a bit of a dump squib. And then they started... Was that when Burton had that chance? Yeah. And then City scored loads of goals.

1:57.2

It was, yeah, it was so humbling.

1:58.9

And blessing Nigel Clough after the game,

2:01.4

who'd had his chairman say, this is the biggest night of our lives, etc., etc. Just sort of said, yeah, we can't wait to face Doncaster at the weekend now. Well, they were looking forward to their first ever competitive meeting with Man City, and to borrow your line, they still are. Indeed. It was really weird to watch.

2:00.1

And yet, curiously, the fact that it got to 9-0 made the last they still are. Indeed. It was really weird to watch.

2:18.1

And yet, curiously, the fact that it got to 9-0 made the last 10 minutes really compelling

2:23.3
