Further, in the episode, Guardiola’s City faces Lasso’s AFC Richmond, who are in contention for the title, at the Etihad Stadium. City is considered the favorite to win the league with only a few games remaining. However, a victory for Lasso’s team would bring them closer to their own championship hopes.
In an exciting turn of events and incredible gameplay, Richmond emerges triumphant with a 2-0 win. Guardiola approached Lasso on the sideline for the customary handshake and even had a surprising conversation. It’s followed by Lasso and his fellow coach, fanboying over the brilliant coach.

Cord cutting has gone off the rails.
Say you're a NY sports fan (Giants, Knicks & Yankees) that wants to watch Ted Lasso & F1 Drive to Survive.
You'll need YouTube TV ($876), YES Network ($200), MSG Network ($310), Apple TV ($70), and Netflix ($240).
That's $1,700 a year.
