Learn English Through Football Podcast: 2021 Champions League Final
DF: Hello everyone, this is Damian from the Learning English Through Football team. I hope we are all doing well and staying safe wherever we are. Now, as regular listeners will know I am based in London while the other member of the Languagecaster.com team, Damon is in Tokyo although Damon is unavailable today. You will, however, be able to hear him on a couple of recent posts we have posted here on our site: first up on the 2021 Premier League winners Manchester City and then explaining a phrase from the Champions League final – he looks at the phrase ‘shaped hole‘ – interesting. Now we have been rather busy at languagecaster recently as we try to catch up with the end of the domestic season here in Europe. We have put out posts on the Women’s Champions League final, the Europa League final, that podcast on Manchester City’s Premier League win and this podcast which reviews the 2021 Champions League final between City and Chelsea.

DF: Now on this football language podcast we look at some of the words and phrases from Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Manchester City which gave the Blues their second Champions League title. We’ll look at three different aspects of the report; a summary of the game, a description of the winning goal and how Chelsea’s defence held firm. Right, let’s hear how the BBC summed up the whole game.
