Summary
AHH PARIS: THE CITY OF LIGHT... AND UNDISCOVERED FOOTBALL TALENT
France's capital has become the worldwide mecca of footballers, with teams from across the globe scouring its streets for their next big name superstar. But one club stands at the center of it all: PSG. And Ahead of Les Parisians' clash with AC Milan, Rog and Rory dive into the makeover the club has undergone, shapeshifting seemingly overnight into a Paris Elite XI. But is it all to appease their rocky relationship with centerpiece and le roy de Paris Kylian Mbappe? And, with Real Madrid lurking in the shadows, will it even make a difference?
Plus, Rog and Rory breakdown the data revolution happening at Toulouse FC after their takeover by Billy Beane's Redbird Capital that has taken them from France's Ligue 2 all the way to the Europa League. In fact, le TéFéCé improved so much, so quickly that a little-known UEFA rule mandated many members of their front office resign...but just how far can data take a football club? In the end, is money the only number that matters?
