    Marcus Thuram on identity, Inter, France, and not being afraid to speak out (Soccer 2/5)

    France and Inter Milan striker Marcus Thuram joins Anita Jones for a candid conversation about football, family, and forging his own identity. From a friendly rivalry with his brother Khéphren - “I wanted to prove I’m the big brother” - to navigating the weight of being Lilian Thuram’s son, Marcus opens up about maturity, values, and learning to question the world around him. He reflects on fashion as a quiet competition within the French national team, why comfort now beats standing out, and the small, surreal moments of his upbringing including giving Lionel Messi’s boots to a friend. On the pitch, Thuram breaks down his transition into a striker, his chemistry with Lautaro Martínez, and what it meant to win the Scudetto in his first season at Inter, capped by an unforgettable goal in the Derby della Madonnina. He discusses his evolution as a player, tuning out social media, resisting data obsession, and learning to process criticism without letting emotion dictate his game. Thuram also reflects on life in Italy, the dream of getting to represent France, and the emotion of making the 2022 World Cup squad including his fuzzy memories of coming off the bench in the final. Plus, why he isn’t afraid to use his platform to confront racism through education and mental strength.

    Jamie Carragher: "I don't want people to remember me as a footballer" (Soccer 1/29)

    Kate Scott sits down with UCL Today co-host and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher for a candid conversation about football, media, pressure, and life after the final whistle. Jamie reflects on the intensity of playing for Liverpool, the toll it took, and why management was never a path he wanted to follow. He opens up about learning to shut out outside noise from early criticism in his career to navigating controversy and social media as one of football’s most recognizable voices. The conversation turns to his evolution as a pundit, why he’s driven to be remembered as a top broadcaster rather than just a former player, and how working in media helped him step outside the Liverpool bubble. Jamie also shares what he misses most about playing, what it’s like watching his son chase his own football dreams while trying to stay quiet on the sidelines, and how seeing his daughter pursue acting has helped him enjoy something completely removed from the game. Plus, reflections on his Scouse identity, his pride in seeing Liverpudlians succeed, his sense of responsibility to give back, and the constant support of his wife, Nicola.

He also looks back with pride on his formative years at Manchester United, discussing his development, his relationship with José Mourinho, and why his departure from the club came without bitterness. The conversation turns to international football as McTominay relives the unforgettable bicycle kick that helped Scotland return to the World Cup stage after 28 years, the belief that powered qualification, and how he plans to approach the tournament with calm and perspective.

He recalls the seismic moment United lifted their first Premier League title, the surreal aftermath of that treble-winning night in Barcelona, and the mental fatigue that shaped his decision to leave Old Trafford soon after. Peter also reflects on the toll of today’s relentless fixture schedule, the balance between the person and the player, and what it’s been like watching his son, Kasper, follow in his footsteps. Now thriving as a Champions League reporter, the legendary goalkeeper shares how he’s found new purpose beyond the posts.

    Thomas Müller on bowing out at Bayern, beating Brazil 7-1, legacy and next steps (Soccer 7/1)

    Kate Scott sits down with Bayern Munich legend and World Cup winner Thomas Müller for a wide-ranging conversation with one of football’s most unique characters. Thomas opens up about his remarkable career, from scoring in a Champions League final to dismantling Brazil 7-1 at a World Cup. But for all the titles and trophies, he insists that competition means more than silverware - and explains why national team glory tops club success in his book. He reflects on his relationships with managers like Pep Guardiola, and why there were no hard feelings when Bayern decided not to offer him a contract extension. Thomas also shares admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo’s longevity and how he’s come to accept that playing for Bayern at 36 isn’t the norm. Thomas talks legacy, pressure, and why despite having no mentality coach, he has always gotten the most out of his talents. He shares his thoughts on Florian Wirtz’s move to Liverpool, being a one-club man, and the value of keeping a “normal” life outside football.

    Christian Vieri on Chasing Dreams, Azzurri Pride, & Life After Football (Soccer 5/30)

    Kate Scott sits down with one of Calcio’s most iconic No. 9s - the larger-than-life Christian Vieri. Bobo opens up about leaving his family behind in Australia as a teenager to chase his dream of playing in Italy.

Christian shares memories of playing alongside legends like Ronaldo, who he calls “kissed by God,” and weighs in on the current state of Italian football (13:43). He gets candid about life in the spotlight, the tabloids, and how his high-profile lifestyle sometimes overshadowed his work on the pitch (25:07). Christian talks about why the United States dream still holds so much appeal and how he found peace in fatherhood and the rewards that come with being a girl dad (32:34). It’s a conversation full of honesty, nostalgia, and surprises as Kate and Christian look back on a career (and a life) lived at full tilt!

    Micah Richards on Growing Up, Growing Wiser, and Knowing When to Quit (Soccer 5/1)

    Kate Scott kicks off Season 2 with someone near and dear - her CBS Sports UCL Today teammate Micah Richards, aka Big Meeks. Micah opens up about being the butt of the joke - and why it doesn't offend him. Behind the booming laugh and bubbly personality is a thoughtful, grounded man who doesn’t obsess over money or fame. For Micah, it’s quality time with family and loved ones that truly matters. He also gets candid about how his relationship with his father has shaped him. Micah reflects on his journey from a tough upbringing to the top of professional football and how the same self-belief and drive have fueled his success in broadcasting. He shares how a low point at Aston Villa nearly broke him, and how an unexpected message from a young fan helped shift his perspective. From managing sudden wealth as a young pro, to why he doesn’t want his son to follow in his footballing footsteps, to his plan to retire from media at 45 - Micah doesn't hold back. And of course, Kate and Micah share a few laughs as they look back on the incredible chemistry, grind, and global impact of UCL Today.
