About this episode
'Stadio' is back for the new season! Musa and Ryan talk in depth about Lionel Messi joining PSG on a free transfer, leaving Barcelona after 21 years with the club. They chat about the path that led Barcelona to lose their greatest-ever player, how it might be the most seismic transfer ever, and the prospect of a ludicrously talented PSG front four (5:34). In Part 2, they give shout-outs to Canada’s women and Brazil's men on their Olympic gold medals, plus the USMNT on their Gold Cup win and Chelsea adding another trophy under Tuchel, before looking ahead to the men’s domestic seasons returning around Europe, touching on some teams and players they are looking forward to seeing this season (36:13).
