City dreaming about Europe

It’s not quite a spying mission, but when League of Ireland duties are firmly put to bed tonight, John Caulfield will be glued to the box for the Champions League final on Saturday evening.

A little piece of him might just dare to dream about going toe to toe with Jurgen Klopp or Zinedine Zidane.

After all, with plenty of workrate, flashes of inspiration, and a little — or a lot — of luck, his Cork City side could yet be playing European heavyweights Liverpool or Real Madrid next season.
