Hope arising

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic

Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Christoph Biermann into the pod for the closing stages of continental football. The Bundesliga season finishes with a send-off for Erling Haaland, and perhaps to Robert Lewandowski. The Pole indicates he wants to leave Bayern. Does that give hope to the rest of the Bundesliga? Germany’s favourite team Eintracht Frankfurt are preparing for their Europa League final on Wednesday. Can Rangers overcome the best team in the competition season? The Serie A title race is going right down to the wire with Milan two points of Inter clear heading into the final day. All thanks to a wonder goal from Theo Hernandez and the heroics of the man who should be France’s number 1. Kylian Mbappe is footballer of the year in France but looks set to be on the move to Real Madrid. And in Spain, Sevilla will be in the Champions League season but potentially without Julen Lopetegui. And will Gareth Bale bid a proper farewell at the Bernabeu?
