Champions League Final: Pint Size
Summary
The Distant Pod hosts revisit the 1999 Champions League final with a listener who shares a chaotic story of traveling to Barcelona as a child, only to have their package go bankrupt and end up watching the match in a remote bar. The conversation explores the nostalgia of that era, the brilliance of the United squad, and the emotional weight of witnessing history.
