Blood Red: Mapping out the road to Madrid – and reminiscing about Ryan Babel

We really do spoil you. It’s the second episode of our flagship Blood Red podcast in as many days – and fourth of the week. Host Joe Rimmer is joined by James Pearce, Theo Squires and Liverpool fan Dan Kay, who like our Reds reporter, has nothing but good things to say about Munich, the scene of that famous Champions League victory for Jurgen Klopp’s side. That 3-1 win has set-up a quarter-final showdown with Porto. The panel give their reaction to the draw and can’t help but look toward a possible semi-final with Manchester United or Barcelona. Who would you fancy if Porto are swept aside for a second season running? Our team, by and large, would prefer Lionel Messi and Barca, and explain why. Talk then turns to Klopp’s press conference, which took place ahead of the draw, the trip to Fulham on Sunday, and the possibility of signing Ryan Sessegnon. The relegation-doomed Cottagers have two ex-Reds in their ranks – Lazar Markovic and Ryan Babel. There’s not much to be said about the former, but that’s certainly not the case with the latter, before we get our usual line-up and score predictions, which includes a huge shout from Theo.
