If you had to show one football match to make somebody fall in love with football, what would it be?

Chelsea vs United last season would have to be up there. From what looked to be cruise for us, to a turnaround from United, to Mount coming on as the pantomime villain then two Chelsea goals in added time of added on time.

I know it was an effective dead rubber but if you only need to show them a match without that additional context that's got as good a chance as any of reeling them in.

Bastian Schweinsteige in his interview with Gary Neville got it spot when he said that Pep's version of the game ruined the German traditional way of playing and it's the same in England

Jurgen Klinsmann on the US Overlap the other day was bemoaning the lack of traditional number 9's, it's patently obvious he hates the modern way the game is played now

Its correct. Its a harsh statement as we're essentially criticising guardiola for developing an extremely effective set up - which he deserves credit for. But it has contributed to really poor football from a viewers point of view and a near total loss of instinctive, pure talent based players. Its part guardiolas fault but also money made it possible. If he were a manager in a less money dominated era he would have innovated in a more watchable way
 
WC final 2022 is hands down the most iconic, contemporary football game played on the biggest stage, with so much at stake, great goals and all the drama… as such, the one you would show to non-football people.
