Lyes, Luca and Alessandro are back in the last show of the season to react to the World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.

A final dominated by Spain that showed once again to be the best team in the World and arguably the best side of 21st Century

A historical final between two football giants.

After analysing the game and the tournament, our trio will build their combined XI.

Today more than ever, we’ll be watching.

Lyes, Luca and Alessandro are back to react to both the semifinals starting with the Atlanta classic between England and Argentina.

Back to Back Final for The world champions after a historical comeback.

In Dallas, Spain became the first 2026 World Cup Finalist. De La Fuente’s team outclassed France with an outstanding midfield performance, combined with another defensive masterclass.

Who will lift the trophy in NY?

After analysing both games our trio will preview the last act of this incredible tournament.

Last but not least: combined XI and Predictions.

As always, we will be watching.

Your quarter finals are: France v Morocco. Can the world's best attack featuring - Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Michael Olise - conquer a Moroccan side that have been steadily growing for the last six years. Can Achraf Hakimi's organised, exciting side cause the upset to end all upsets?

Lamine Yamal is still waiting for his World Cup moment - is he waiting until it really matters to turn on the style? Spain have made the tournament look relatively easy so far - but Belgium have grown into it, using the controversy in their match-up with the USMNT as fuel to overpower the host nation.

In arguably the most exciting quarter-final fixture, Norway take on England - two of the world's best strikers - in Erling Haaland and Harry Kane - will be aiming to outshoot each other in a fixture littered with intrigue and excitement. Will Jude Bellingham be the answer again though?

We have been watching. We will be watching.

In today’s episode, the team reacts to England’s historic win at the Azteca as Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane inspire the Three Lions into the quarter-finals. They discuss whether England are now the favourites to reach the World Cup final from their side of the bracket.

They also analyse Argentina’s stunning comeback against Egypt, Switzerland’s victory over Colombia, Spain’s win over Portugal, and Cristiano Ronaldo’s final international appearance.

To wrap up, the guys preview the World Cup quarter-finals with their predictions for the biggest games still to come.

Once they break down the match, they’ll dive into the biggest talking points from the last couple of days, starting with Paraguay vs. France decided by a Kylian Mbappé penalty.

Elsewhere, Morocco dominated Canada and booked their place in the quarterfinals. Are they the best African team in World Cup history? Can they beat France and take revenge for the 2022 semifinal?

As always, we will be watching.

The World Cup is only just getting started. And one thing is for certain, we will be watching.

Hot on his heels in the race for the '26 golden boot (as well as the all-time record) is Kylian Mbappe who bagged a brace in a scary-looking French win over Iraq. And if that wasn't enough, Erling Haaland matched him stride for stride scoring his third and fourth for Norway in their 3-2 victory over Senegal.

But we still have more questions going into the final round of group games? Can one of the smallest nations ever make it through to the knockouts - Cabo Verde have the best chance as they face Saudi Arabia in their final game? Can Portugal finally kick on? Will the USMNT top the group unbeaten? Has this been a group stage for the ages?

One thing is for sure, we will be watching.

After nine months of chaos, brilliance, heartbreak and controversy, the 2025/26 club season comes down to one night. Two modern superpowers. Two managers chasing immortality. One trophy that changes everything.

Arsenal arrive as Premier League champions, armed with the best set pieces in Europe, a monster midfield and a defence that’s spent the season suffocating opponents. PSG arrive with firepower that borders on unfair. Ousmane Dembele. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Desire Doue. Bradley Barcola. Pure nightmare fuel in transition.

In the final SIFC episode of the season, Luca Dallolio, Lyes Bouzidi and Alessandro Eremiti go deep into the tactical battle that will decide European football’s biggest game. Can Declan Rice disrupt the rhythm of Vitinha and Joao Neves? How does Mikel Arteta stop PSG’s terrifying front line without losing Arsenal’s aggression? And if the game breaks open, which superstar grabs the moment that defines careers forever?

From tactical detail to bold predictions, from pressure points to match winners, this is the full Champions League Final breakdown.

The lights are brighter. The stakes are bigger. And by the end of the night, somebody becomes immortal.

Thank you for riding with SIFC all season long. We’ll see you in New York when we go live throughout the World Cup. Until then, enjoy the final.

Mikel Arteta gets his flowers from Luca Dallolio who, alongside Lyes Bouzidi and Alessandro Eremiti, talk through the Gunners’ Premier League success - how they did it, the turning points, the key moments, the key men and, crucially, how Pep Guardiola leaving City offers them a golden opportunity.

A hungover Aston Villa may have won the match but Sunday was all about Pep and the team looking back on what can only be described as a dynasty - a decade of dominance comes to an end for Manchester City.

Finally, the team looks over a “crazy” England squad selection - should Cole Palmer be at the World Cup? Will Phil Foden be missed? It’s the last domestic show of the season and it’s a cracker.

The Premier League has been as competitive as its been but with some phenomenal units at the top - is there space for any other club than Arsenal in the back four? Which players should break into the forward line?

In La Liga, Real Madrid’s stuttering season leaves room for players from around the league - Luca Dallolio, Lyes Bouzidi and Alessandro Eremiti have players from Real Betis, Mallorca and Espanyol in their XI.

While in Serie A, you’ve got the old boys in Luka Modric and Federico Dimarco and the new kids on the block, Nico Paz and Kenan Yildiz, despite Juventus dropping out of the Champions League spots.

This week, Luca, Lyes and Ale Eremiti dive into the managerial merry-go-round already beginning to spin across the continent. Is Pep Guardiola approaching the end of his Manchester City cycle? And when the Premier League era is judged, does anyone other than Sir Alex Ferguson come close to matching his impact?

There’s also the major move at Chelsea, where Xabi Alonso has been confirmed as the club’s next manager. After a difficult spell at Real Madrid, is this the right environment for him to rebuild his reputation, and could the wording of Chelsea’s announcement tell us something about the power he’ll hold at Stamford Bridge?

Then attention shifts to Old Trafford, where Michael Carrick has an offer on the table. Manchester United have spent years searching for stability, structure and a clear footballing identity. Could Carrick be the figure to finally bring calm to the chaos?

Plus, Inter are Scudetto winners once again. Lyes was invited by Inter to be a guest at the celebrations and returned with a special gift for Luca. What made their title campaign so convincing, how far ahead are they of the rest in Italy, and what comes next for the Nerazzurri?

From Pep’s legacy to Chelsea’s reset, United’s uncertainty, Inter’s Scudetto celebrations and a special surprise for Luca, episode 25 breaks down the biggest managerial and title-winning storylines as the season reaches its conclusion.

In the Premier League, set pieces, once again, were the weekend’s major talking point - Arsenal benefitted from a late-VAR decision to beat West Ham and take them a huge step closer to winning the league for the first time in over 20 years.

Luca Dallolio, Lyes Bouzidi and Alessandro Eremiti return to dissect the weekend’s biggest football matters.

In England, Arsenal pile pressure on City in the title race with a dominant win over Fulham, driven by their academy stars, while Manchester United seal their return to the Champions League with a big win over Liverpool, powered by Kobbie Mainoo.

The focus then shifts to Europe with a full preview and predictions for the Champions League semi-final second legs, as PSG face Bayern and Arsenal take on Atleti in two defining ties.

Plus, Inter seal the Serie A title to cap off a dominant campaign, as the panel debates what it all means heading into the final stretch of the season.

In contrast, Manchester City look like they’re hitting top form when it matters most. A dominant 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge, inspired by Rayan Cherki, showed a perfect blend of flair and control from Pep Guardiola’s side.

Over in Spain, the title race appears to be slipping away from Real Madrid after more dropped points, while Lamine Yamal continues his meteoric rise—this time starring in a derby win over Espanyol. What’s going wrong at Madrid, and are we already witnessing one of the greatest teenage talents the game has ever seen?

We also review all the key action from last week’s Champions League fixtures, breaking down the biggest results, before our ongoing prediction battle between Lyes, Ale and Luca continues with this week’s ties.

All that and more in this episode.

All that and more in this episode.

In Spain, Real Madrid edged out Atlético 3-2 in a spectacular derby that saw the return of vintage Vinícius Júnior under interim manager Arbeloa. We also discuss Ademola Lookman’s impact at Atlético and speculate on whether Julián Álvarez or Harry Kane is the right successor for Robert Lewandowski at Barcelona.

The Serie A title race is heating up now that Inter Milan is winless in March. AC Milan and Antonio Conte’s Napoli are closing in, while the project at Como continues to impress with the best defensive record in Italy under Cesc Fàbregas.

Finally, we look ahead to the international break where Italy is fighting for its life in World Cup qualification against Northern Ireland for the third time in a row. The panel debates Gattuso’s lack of a clear strategy and the potential lineup for this do-or-die match.

The panel dives into Tudor’s game plan against Arsenal, looking at how his team tried to impose control without the ball through aggressive spacing and man-to-man marking duels and the trade-off that comes with those principles.

We also explore Arsenal’s solutions in possession, why they struggled in the first half and how the timing of rotations in and around the half-spaces forced Tudor’s line into impossible choices: step out and open the channel behind, or hold the line and allow Arsenal to play between the lines and attack the box with runners arriving on schedule.

Then the conversation flips to Manchester City’s 2–1 win over Newcastle, unpacking how Guardiola’s side solved a committed Newcastle press and how Nico O'Reilly's brilliance and Erling Haaland's percerverance won the game for City.

Finally, with rivals trading points and the run-in tightening, we discuss the wider title and relegation battles: why momentum matters at this stage of the season and what both Arsenal and City still need to tighten up if they want to turn gritty wins like these into a trophy-defining run.

We head to Serie A for the explosive Derby d’Italia, where Inter vs Juventus delivered goals, drama and a title-race defining decision.
