Summary
Craving your European football fix? Well, look no further! Dotun Adebayo, Andy Brassell and Miguel Delaney are back for a brand new episode of On The Continent.
International football brings its own unique tensions at the best of times, not least during a pandemic. We discuss the impact local restrictions have had on Italian-based players, as many try to reach their international sides’ crucial matches. Elsewhere, we look at Real Madrid’s struggles after their humbling loss at Valencia and delve into the interesting - and sometimes difficult - implications that arise for international footballers with dual nationality.
