Summary

It's the return of The Big Thing, and it's a topic featuring a legendary manager, a legendary club and a legendary national team... and we're hoping for at least a somewhat legendary episode! Taylor is joined by Joe and Graham (and then later The Athletic's Jack Lang) to discuss Carlo Ancelotti's impending departure from Real Madrid, what happens next for Florentino Perez's side, and the situation Ancelotti is walking into with Brazil.
