This State of the Union episode is packed with USMNT in UCL goals, heated MLS playoff drama & more. We kick things off with a UEFA Champions League recap as Ricardo Pepi’s stoppage-time heroics for PSV secured a 1–1 draw against Olympiacos, tying legends Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Agüero for a record. Flo Balogun bagged his first-ever Champions League goal for Monaco in a 1–0 win over Bodo/Glimt, while Weston McKennie’s Juventus held Sporting to a 1–1 draw. Elsewhere, PSG fell 2–1 to Bayern, Liverpool edged out Real Madrid 1–0, and Erling Haaland extended his insane UCL scoring streak in City’s 4–1 rout of Dortmund.
We’re also still on Pulisic Watch as Parma takes on AC Milan. The MLS Cup Playoff opening round is coming to a close, with must-watch matchups like Inter Miami vs. Nashville and Cincinnati vs. Columbus. Did Luis Suarez deserve the suspension?
Plus, stay tuned for #AskAlexi where we are debating Berhalter vs. Pochettino and what would count as success in 2026 for the USMNT. Smash that YouTube sub and join the conversation!
