World Cup-winning captain Hugo Lloris joins Rio Ferdinand for an exclusive conversation that only a handful of people in football history could ever have. As one of the few men to captain his country to World Cup glory, Hugo takes Rio inside the pressure, leadership and emotion behind lifting the biggest trophy in football.


Lloris explains why Kylian Mbappé looked different from his very first France training session, the work that transformed him into one of the world's deadliest forwards and why he believes greatness is still written in his destiny.


He also relives the unforgettable 2022 World Cup Final, offering a unique perspective from inside one of the greatest matches ever played. Hugo reveals the specific instructions Didier Deschamps gave France to try and stop Lionel Messi, explains why even the best-laid plans weren't enough and reflects on watching Messi and Mbappé produce an all-time classic on football's biggest stage.


The former Tottenham captain also opens up on Harry Kane's incredible development under Mauricio Pochettino and states why he thinks the England captain can win the Ballon d’Or. You’ll also hear why Spurs never quite turned their golden generation into trophy winners and what really changed under José Mourinho and Antonio Conte.


Rio and Hugo also discuss Didier Deschamps' leadership, the lessons France learned from the heartbreak of Euro 2016 before becoming world champions, facing Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suárez and Sergio Agüero [and Jamie Vardy], why N'Golo Kanté is unlike anyone he's ever played with, Paul Pogba's misunderstood reputation and Hugo's ultimate five-a-side team.

This is Hugo Lloris in the way you’ve never heard him before.
