Summary

What are the football-related things you have to achieve before you die? Sam Tighe (@brsamtighe), Dean Jones (@deanjonesbr) and Jack Collins (@jjwc) are joined by new B/R Football presenter Aaron West (@ayyy_west) to talk about the experiences that we most want to tick off across the footballing landscape. We talk Clasicos, Superclasicos, Clasico de las Americas (any other Classics you like?!), as well as derbies across Europe, special stadiums and atmospheres like Anfield and the Westfalenstadion, living in Spain and much, much more as we hunt our way across the best this game has to offer - with some choice input from the #RankSquad across the world. Roulette asks which is the more intimidating atmosphere for an away team, Napoli's San Paolo Stadium or Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park (37:33), and what the worst pre-game rituals we've ever come across were (39:21); before we flip the script to interview Craig and Adam Malamut, the brains behind B/R Football's hit animation show 'The Champions' ahead of their Season 3 launch next week (42:59). Before we get into that though, Jack tees things up with a poem lamenting how bad the FIFA Best XI was (00:22), before Hot Takes sees Sam talk about how Barcelona are finally good on FIFA 20 (04:18); Dean urges Spurs fans to remain calm and not call for Mauricio Pochettino's head (07:11); and we break down Chelsea vs. Liverpool (09:45), before Dean gives Melon of the Week to Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde (12:42).

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to B our football ranks.
0:22.5	There's a poem today. You'll be glad to hear.
0:24.8	Because I have some issues with that team of the year, that the players picked out of FIFA's the best.
0:29.1	And some of these selections are hard to digest.
0:31.6	I reckon there's six they got right and five they got wrong.
0:34.0	You can keep Alison, Messi, Ronaldo, Van Dyke, Delict, De Jong.
0:37.2	But let's work through
0:38.0	the others. Let's start with Marcelo. And this is very much not personal. He seems a nice fellow.
0:42.7	But last year, he got dropped for a 21-year-old kid while the worst season in ages rolled on at
0:47.8	Madrid. And Marcelo's a Real Legend. I'm not doubting that at all. But Andy Robertson must be seething, throwing punches at a wall.
0:54.9	While we're on Madrid Legends, let's talk about the skipper, who, let's face it last year,
0:58.8	did his club up like a kipper.
1:00.6	A yellow card on purpose, Ramos got himself suspended, and he could only watch on as their
1:04.9	Champions League reign ended.
1:06.6	The cameras in his box there to film for his show, saw Frankie Matthias and the boys deliver blow after blow.
1:12.9	And the reigning champions were silenced by Johann Croix's vision while their captain sat alone, lamenting his decision.
1:19.4	And what of Luca Modrich on that faithful night, left on the floor the best before, out of mind and out of sight?
1:25.2	In a season that should have seen us enjoy his golden hours,
1:28.7	we saw a man who appeared to have used up all his powers, who had lost all of his magic,
1:33.2	his pizzazz, his myth, his spark, as Madrid chased shadows and were played off the park,
1:37.7	three lost Blancos legends who have had their time to shine, but that time was not last year,
1:42.9	and that's the bottom line. The last two are trickier,
