On this week’s show we look at the latest episode of racism in European football, as three black England players all suffering abuse in the hours after missing penalties against Italy in the Euro 2020 final. And we hear from Nigeria international Joel Obi, with his reflections on racial abuse that he received from a fellow player in Italy. Also, as Simba of Tanzania reported a big loss from playing in the group stage of the Champions League, we ask whether the competition is about making money or the prestige of playing on the continent. And, with the Euro 2020 final decided on penalties, with heartache for the England fans and players, we look at how penalty shootouts became the way of deciding tied finals, and if there is any better alternative.
