Episode 6: The Rise of Calcio, Real Madrid's Struggles & a Reiss Nelson Profile with Oli Price-Bates

First up, we talk about the international break just gone. Is the UEFA nations league working? Is the use of youngsters in these competitions harming the competitiveness of the competiton?

Next, we speak all about Miguel Almiron who's really making some waves in the MLS and has drawn interest from Arsenal! Matt tells us all about him....Speaking of Arsenal, Petrit spoke to Oli Price-Bates, a blogger and content creator who specialises on Arsenal football club. We spoke all about the man of the moment, Reiss Nelson!

Over to Spain, we speak about Julien Loputegui's struggles and whether or not Madrid will be parting ways with the manager. Is it totally his fault, or have the board failed him with the signings over the summer?

Finally, it wouldn't be an episode of State of Play if Matt didn't get a word in about Serie A. We discuss the rise of Caclio, and what has breathed excitement back into the league!
