Phil and Russ discuss Manchester City’s historic domestic treble, their potential Champions League ban, and what it all means for international soccer. The guys then reflect on Bayern’s Bundesliga comeback, the race for Champions League positioning in Serie A, Valencia’s triumph, Kylian Mbappe’s comments about a new challenge, Antoine Griezmann’s choice to leave Atletico Madrid, and Gareth Bale’s falling out with Real Madrid. Plus, the Philadelphia Union are first in the Eastern Conference, but are they for real?
