The BBC Sounds podcast episode titled “Euro Leagues – Was Raya robbed & how did Europe react to Kane’s Ballon d’Or win?” explores a range of European football topics, from Arsenal goalkeeper Raya’s alleged snub for the Yashin Trophy to Kane’s surprising Ballon d’Or victory.
Guillem Balague, Julien Laurens and German expert Rafa Honigstein discuss whether the World Cup should have taken priority, the reaction from Spain and Bayern Munich, and the broader continental response to Kane’s award.
The conversation then shifts to Real Madrid’s El Clasico triumph, with James Horncastle previewing the upcoming Milan Derby, while the panel reflects on Mbappé’s apology to China and Kuyt’s new role as Fenerbahce’s interim head coach.
