Host and Liverpool reporter Ian Doyle is joined by full-time Liverpool correspondent James Pearce and their former colleague Neil Jones – now of Goal – for a special Blood Red podcast recorded in the NSC Olimpiyskiy, the venue for Saturday's Champions League final between the Reds and Real Madrid.The trio discuss what once could have been regarded as a weakness of Jurgen Klopp is now rightly seen as a strength - and whether Emre Can could be the 2018 Vladimir Smicer.Neil then leaves to meet up with another former ECHO favourite - Andy Kelly, who is very confident, if his betting is anything to go by - before we hear the latest odds from our sponsors, Paddy Power.The podcast resumes with Ian and James debating why Zinedine Zidane is wrong to state that the pressure is split equally on both sides, the way Liverpool supporters have been treated in the lead up to the final, and the special bonds that could carry the Reds to their sixth European Cup.It's a brilliant listen.
