Going to the final and be all, enjoy these moments together and European nights, especially.

This is Roch and you're listening to European nights presented by Paramount Plus, which well,

is humbling to hear no less an expert and critic than you can say is special.

Cloppo and our other listener, sad news. This is the final episode of our first season together,

exploring the cli-doscopic sights, quadrasonic sounds, and even more gastronomic tastes of Europe's biggest matches.

And we are blessed by the two Titans who will have standing in this epic battle royale for Europe's biggest match of the season,

Real Madrid and Liverpool Football Club. And we always say when two football teams come out of the tunnel,

their teams histories take the field alongside them, and with these two, there is so much history.

I'm grateful as ever to be joined by a gent who revels in all of this and he's been pit-side for each and every drop of carrying Benzamas' moments of wonder and Diego Simeone punch up alike.

See an immutable Rory Smith cheese soccer correspondent of Your New York Times, Rory, when and how? Are you headed over to Paris for this one?

Well, Paris is a lot easier to get to from the north of inland than St Petersburg, which is where the Champions League Final was going to be.

So I'll be getting the train, like a sort of sophisticated continental gent, train from Leeds to London, train under the sea from London to Paris,

what my son calls the underwater train, so we now refer to it as the underwater train. And getting into Paris sometime on Friday, even I think.

Without nearly a crease in your pants, train travel. Ah, the romance of the whole thing, just a train. Imagine you in a Guarereau-like carriage with other esteemed members of the Traveling English press pack.

Rory, let's piss off Ralph Nader and put the Champions League Final on our podcast equivalent of the front page, full page spread.

SOD the Yankees, it's our sole reason for existence this week, Nader, catch that Champions League finale live.

And on demand, remember where? Exclusively. On Paramount Plus, coverage begins at 130pm Eastern time. New subscribers can get a 7-day free trial now.

By going to Paramount Plus dot com slash MIB. And remember, we will be covering the final live on Twitch with a sliver remarkable guess.

That one, if you dare go to twitch.tv, backslashmeninblazers, now to the football.

Those were the dulcet tones of lucamadrid singing for reals. Is there anything that medieval witch looking superhero can't do? In truth, he hits outside of the foot crosses into space like no one else.
