And it's also interesting with Leinster's semi-final this weekend.

The Claire Byrne Show

Obviously, they've lost the Champions Cup final, which is the big...

And they've only, I think, sold 11,000 tickets as of yesterday morning for the Aviva.

I think it's clashing with the Hurling as well.

The Claire Byrne Show

Yeah, there's just a bit of uncertainty about the futures of the coach and staff and everything going on there because Leinster, given their resources, probably should have a lot more champions.

with enthusiasm exactly that I would expect them to beat the Stormers and play either Glasgow or the Bulls in the final and potentially win the UFC final but obviously everybody in Leinster wanted that Champions Cup and in a weird thing with rugby you imagine the Champions League final being played three weeks before

He's crazy and he's built the Galacticos that were the mid-2000s, including that Luis Figo transfer from their arch rivals Barcelona, which was huge news, not just at the time, but there's a great Luis Figo documentary for anyone listening on Netflix.

But you can see Perez's promise to spend โ‚ฌ150 million on an unnamed player where he's gone ahead and named Erling Haaland.

But I guess in this day and age versus Luis Figo 20 plus years ago, Man City aren't too happy with their player being named.

The Claire Byrne Show

So they have threatened or at least looking at legal action there.

I'd say he's very happy because that just ups his potential.

His value.

Because he was linked with Madrid and he sort of picked Manchester City when he left Dortmund.

So that's fascinating if he gets in.

The Claire Byrne Show

But I'd expect Perez, just given the amount of say he has in Real Madrid, some Real Madrid fans aren't happy with him.

The Claire Byrne Show

He is very much money focused.

But look, you can't argue with their Champions League record, if not their league record.
