    Chai Football: El Clásico - Football’s Golden Ticket!

    This week on Chai Football, Joe Morrison sits down with rising Indian sports reporter Manas Gera, who earned a golden ticket to cover El Clásico in Spain - the iconic showdown between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF.  From navigating high-pressure media zones and matchday accreditation to chasing atmosphere through the streets before kickoff, this episode pulls back the curtain on what football journalism in Europe really looks like.  Manas shares the shock of Europe’s football intensity, the speed of elite match coverage, and the craft of turning stadium noise, cold night air, and fan emotion into stories that travel from Barcelona to living rooms around the world. It’s part football travelogue, part sports media masterclass, and a rare inside look at how major La Liga broadcasts and digital football content are actually made.  If you’re into La Liga, football media, matchday storytelling, behind-the-scenes sports reporting, or the magic of Barcelona vs Real Madrid on matchday, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

    Chai Football: The Truth About The GOAT’s Disastrous Tour Of India

    This week on Chai Football, Joe Morrison and Manas Gera break down the truth behind Lionel Messi’s headline-grabbing India tour! From Kolkata crowd chaos and Argentina fan fever to the behind-the-scenes reality of appearance fees, sports event security and how major football appearances can unravel in seconds.  Beyond the controversy, we ask the bigger question: what actually grows football in India? We compare superstar meet-and-greets with real grassroots football development - coaching, academies, and youth pathways - and why brief training-ground sessions in Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad may matter more than any stadium spectacle.  With moments involving Sunil Chhetri and lifelong Messi fans, this episode explores football legacy, the business of global sports tours and the future of Indian football.
