On this week's Rewind Podcast, Oisin Langan was joined by former Ireland international Paddy Mulligan to look ahead to Ireland's forthcoming internationals against England and Scotland and also to the Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus in Berlin.

Mulligan feels that Martin O'Neill still does not know his best starting eleven, citing Robbie Brady's positioning at left back during the Poland game. The former Chelsea defender was happy to see Wes Hoolahan join the squad despite complaints from Norwich, and Mulligan feels O'Neill trusts the former Shelbourne midfielder only when Ireland are at home.

He feels that O'Neill will have to play his starting eleven for the Scottish game against England or in a behind closed doors training match against Northern Ireland to get the team prepared for the Euro 2016 qualifier.

Before the England game, all eyes will be on Berlin for the Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus.

Barcelona are heavy favourites for Saturday's European showpiece. The side are playing a more direct game under Luis Enrique than they have under Guardiola and he feels the Suarez, Messi and Neymar will be to good for the Italian champions.
