The Hangout, a Disney+ show, included a quiz about Italy and featured a golden retriever called Barley Boy. The show was hosted by Alex Scott, Lianne Sanderson, Tyra Mills, and Alex Bailess. The immediate reaction to the show was a mix of bewilderment and fury from seasoned lovers of the women's game, with some critics suggesting that the coverage was too gimmicky and did not respect the sport.

The show's hosts, Alex Scott and Tyra Mills, were praised for being personable and fun, but the unconventional approach may not be the right one for the Women's Champions League.
