Plus, victory for Bayern in Madrid, Vish gets his atlas out, and Luke throws yet more shade on the Select Car Leasing Stadium.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected] up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.
