2024-25 Champions League &#8211; Matchday 2 
DF: You&#8217;re listening to Languagecaster.com&#8217;s football language podcast. 
Hello everyone and welcome to the show for all those who love the <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-the-beautiful-game/">beautiful game</a> of football and who want to improve their English. My name is Damian and I am based in London where the weather has been slightly better this week &#8211; it&#8217;s finally stopped raining! What&#8217;s the weather like where you are? Damon, the other member of the Learn English Through Football Podcast team, has told me that the weather in Japan is a little finally cooling down &#8211; I think they had a really hot, hot summer. 
Stinger: You are listening to languagecaster.com (in Japanese) 
Today&#8217;s Show 
DF: That message was in Japanese and we&#8217;ll have some more stingers throughout today&#8217;s show. Can you guess what languages they are? Right, on today&#8217;s podcast we will be looking at some of the football language from the past week and in particular from the second round of <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-fixtures/">fixtures</a> from this season&#8217;s Champions League. We will also look back at some language from both the Liverpool and Tottenham games from last weekend &#8211; of course, that&#8217;s Damon&#8217;s favourite team and my favourite team. And, of course, we&#8217;ll also   look ahead to this weekend&#8217;s football in our <a href="https://languagecaster.com/pool/">predictions competition</a>. 
Stinger: You are listening to languagecaster.com (an Arsenal fan) 
 
DF: Yes, that was from an Arsenal fan and I am sure that they are all feeling very happy indeed after their late win against Leicester in the Premier League last weekend, followed by a comfortable win over PSG in the league phase of the Champions League. Indeed, many <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-pundit/">pundits</a> called this a &#8216;<a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-language-statement-win/">statement win</a>&#8216; a phrase that we posted about earlier in the week. Now, Arsenal have four points from their first two Champions League games, that&#8217;s the same as Manchester City, but neither of those teams are at the top of the new competition league. Seven teams have <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-language-100-record/">100% records</a> &#8211; they have won both games &#8211; including <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-surprise-package/">surprise package</a> Stade Brestois from France; two more English sides in Aston Villa and Liverpool, as well as last season&#8217;s <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-language-runners/">runners-up</a> Borussia Dortmund. OK, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the language that has com...
