My first matchday experience here in the United States this summer was a big, colourful, family affair.

Big Phil, the one-of-a-kind cheerleader I met in the stands wasn’t even all that into football - if he’s off his work and any US national team are playing, he told me, he’ll be there. This time he brought his dad, too.

And not to be outdone, my man-of-the-match, Diego Luna of Real Salt Lake (but born here in San Jose) had his family with him to watch him dismantle Dwight Yorke’s boys.

In all of my videos on Luis Enrique, I told you clearly – he won’t just want to win, but to win in STYLE! Do you believe me now?!

I was there to watch Les Parisiens lift their first Champions League high into the Munich sky, after CRUSHING an Inter Milan that just didn’t seem to know what to do.

Socios: let me tell you, it was a magical night of football. Here’s how I lived PSG’s historic night in Germany….

What. A. Day. I commentated on a short tournament featuring some of the greatest players of the past 20 years. I shared a stage with one of the heroes of Istanbul 2005. I am going to bed clutching my ticket for the final of the Champions League.

Here’s everything I saw, everyone I spoke to, all I feel about PSG v Inter. It’s for all of you.

Tomorrow night - maybe Sunday morning - I’ll report from the stadium. But that one will just be for the socios - it’s still only £3.50 per month⬇️⬇️⬇️
