About this episode
It’s Champions League romance as Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty face the mighty Real Madrid.
Kairat player Damir Kasabulat tells Mani Djazmi what it means just to be in the competition, the reaction when the players discovered that their first home game would be against Real Madrid, and who he might take to London when they play Arsenal.
