This week we are delighted to be joined by the brilliant Marcela Mora y Araujo, an Argentinian journalist who has written for the Guardian and a range of other publications. Currently working on a documentary on Argentina at the 1986, and having written Diego Maradona's obituary for the Guardian, she was the perfect person to give us an insight into his complicated legacy and how it has been dealt with in his native country.
We also spoke about the chapter she wrote for the book "From the Jaws of Victory: A history of Football's Nearly Men" about Messi's failure to win a major trophy for the national team. We also spoke about VAR and a range of other topics.
