Episode Xabi Alonso to Chelsea, Man City's FA Cup win and Celtic's dramatic title

0:00 46:43

It felt like a weekend of broken hearts all around football, but Musa and Ryan begin with Manchester City’s win over Chelsea in the FA Cup final (02:12), to secure a domestic cup double and Pep Guardiola’s 20th trophy as City boss.

Chelsea were quick to counter the disappointment, as it was announced that Xabi Alonso will take over as manager in the summer (12:39) and that’s where the bulk of today’s show is focussed.

There’s enough time to chat about Celtic’s late win over Hearts (31:34), to secure their 14th title in 15 years in dramatic fashion, as well as a few other shoutouts.

Also, Musa did a new piece for the Kickback Soccer newsletter, which you can read here, and tickets for our July live show, with Nish Kumar at the Southbank Centre, are available here.
