00:23 Thoughts on Milan, obviously we've had a nice walk through the city, lovely city as you expect,

00:29 nice to try and get in the background there, I think we've spun the right way,

01:00 many tomorrow, but really looking forward to seeing you castinated back in Europe, back in the Champions

01:05 League and seeing the San Siro as well. Yeah, so I was going to say that, it's almost, we know about

01:15 football stadium to make your return back to the big stage, then it may well be somewhere like,

01:20 if it's not the Bernabeu, it may well be somewhere like the San Siro, and I'm really looking forward

01:32 really looking forward to it, and we're going there this afternoon, so we'll go up to see
