Champions League Plus, William Saliba & Kai Havertz | Arsecast

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to reflect on two Champions League semi-finals this week.
First, Real Madrid go through at the expense of Bayern Munich, before we chat about Borussia Dortmund beating PSG - with some discussion of Kylian Mbappe and his time in Paris. Then attention turns to Arsenal, and we talk about William Saliba and how our view of him as Arsenal fans is very different from many in France, Kai Havertz and his development, Martin Odegaard, some broad thoughts on the season as a whole and lots more.

Arseblog is always great but any podcast with Phillippe Auclair is immediately better.

[@DangerfieldChris]

Philippe Arsecast is best Arsecast.

[@paulwhitehead1190]

What a great episode and guest 🙏🏻

[@PatrickCWalters]

Always appreciate Phillipe on the pod! Great convo. End bit had me in stitches 🤣 😂

[@huggybear1996]

Such a great guest.

[@breenmcgeough806]

Loved this episode! Getting hyped for the end of the season but every game for the last month, I have been sick to my stomach. One more win and we bring it to the final game of the season, COYG! 🔴⚪

[@user-in9fw5zq5y]

Loved the segment on individual impact being overstated nowadays. Arsenal’s amazing form and incredible season is a clear testament of the power of the collective - dare I say having an individual like Mbappe would ruin our form.

[@oldskoolgooner]

Great to hear Philip again 👏

[@wmorris189]

Very well and eloquently said by Philippe about collectivism. I believe there are or will be soon, 5 Basque managers including our own , very, very much part of their culture and going back a few decades the great Scottish managers, Liverpool, Man U, sorry, and the Arsenal legend and hero George Graham, exactly the same.

[@wmorris189]

In the premiership and Alonso as well. Madly impressive.

46:00 Alan Smith had a tough 1st season. I remember in his 2nd season he had scored more goals by Oct half term then in the entire previous season.

[@jamesmassin7982]

Do you see a bit of Smuger in Kia Havertz?

[@prash_t]

11:00 re Harry Kane 😂 let's link causation and correlation - love it. However spuds didnt start winning titles after the cursed man left. With regards to Saliba i would be happy if he didn't go to Germany- give him the summer off to fully recover for another 50 games next year.

GOATS

[@jonneedspedal]

There is audio

[@Justjayafc]

Restart your KZbin app. Happens to me occasionally.

[@Alexander-or7vr]

Is Opamencano more imposing than saliba??? Categorically do not agree with this.

[@afctaylor12]

What do make of Fulham playing with kites

[@mitchelgreen891]

ugh, it makes me want to throw up, but what are you going to do about a team playing on the beach at this point of the season. Its just frustrating because otherwise I think this is the most difficult fixture remaining for city.

[@thewisetzar5363]

Rooting for Real to slap Dortmund so Vini can be in pole position to win Ballon D'or.

[@MeskinShow]

Wouldn't Jude win it if he gets UCL and England go further than the Quarterfinals of the Euros?

[@jamesmassin7982]

Nobody cares. This is an Arsenal platform. Bun Madrid and their cheating accolades. Any one who isn’t a fan boy, and actually loves the beautiful game will back Dortmund. Organic Football is always > Financially doped pre-Madonna’s
