2:47Pol Ballus: y el viejo de la gente haciendo un meal de él con Spalletti y por qué, despite de todo, podríamos tener un italiano en el último de la 16. Todo eso y más en este Totally Football Show. Es Monday, 23 de Febreroa y es un nuevo Totally Football Show European Edition. Tom Williams es aquí en Londres. Hola, James.

3:05James Richardson: Estoy en el día. Estoy en el día de hablar

3:06Pol Ballus: de French. Seb Sap of Blois en Hamburg. Hi, Jim Bari. No prizes para guessing en lo que es que es el que se va a dar en ella. Paul Ballus es en Cataluña. I am, hello Alright Paul, and joining us from lovely Florence Ahead of Fiorentina Pisa On Monday evening And fresh from seeing Juve Como on Saturday Is James Horncastle Alright James

3:28James Horncastle: Hello, hello again How's Florence? Wonderful, very busy I think a lot of people who have been to see The Winter Olympics in Milan And Cortina have decided to stay After doing a few days up north and come down to Florence so yeah, the city is busy, a lot of work being done here, a new tram system being put in place.

3:53Pol Ballus: Is that right? Is that right? Have you done much eating? Have you ever been to Procacci speaking of Florence?

4:03James Horncastle: Yes but I haven't been to Procacci this time around. No, ok

4:08Pol Ballus: I'm glad it's still there all these decades later I mean things tend to be in Italy pero que se hace estos muy buenos brioche rolls con un anchovie paste pero muy, muy delicioso con el presentador

4:28James Horncastle: Yesterday I had la triperia pollini que es el kiosk donde se hace el lamparillotto que es el cowl stomach lining

4:38James Richardson: en un barco Sounds better in Italian, doesn't it? I find these things

4:45James Horncastle: It tastes good Tom If you put cow's stomach lining In the back of your mind and just think Oh he's putting some nice bit of chilli Or nice salsa verde on some flakes And then dipping the bun in some gravy And then bring it out to you I mean that's brilliant but yeah Just don't think about what it is you're eating

5:02James Richardson: Well so often the case Your haggis is Your black puddings is You can go right up the spectrum

5:09Pol Ballus: You can go wherever you want with it. Best not think about it. All right, well, excellent. We'll have perhaps some more Florentine-based chat very, very shortly. But let's get a moment of the week to get this party started. Seb, I bet you've got something.

5:23James Richardson: Sure do. I've got Ragnar Arca's bicycle kick from Cologne against Hoffenheim. And I'm hoping producer Lucy has the commentary because it's absolutely brilliant.

5:39James Horncastle: ¡Ache! ¡Qué mal!

5:41Tom Williams: ¡Qué mal! ¡Qué mal! ¡Qué mal! ¡Qué mal! ¡Qué mal! ¡Ronaldo no hace así! ¡Qué mal! ¡Messi no hace así! ¡Qué mal!

5:59Tom Williams: ¡Unfaspera! ¡Ragnar!

6:10James Richardson: y entre el fuller y el zia se va a ser muy squeaky como su voz no se ha broken cuando se ha 14 de nuevo y es un increíble porque es el perfecto el perfecto giro con el perfecto angle con el ball el alto de la cabeza 180 grados pero también el height que se ha es absolutamente increíble y Ragnar Arca es un gran celebrador que fue jugando en el Zwiederbundsliga en el año pasado fue signed en el año de 2025 ha tenido un gran desafío que no era supuestamente tener no creo que haya un mejor momento que eso es un gran gole

6:47Pol Ballus: genial

6:49Tom Williams: lo que ha sido tu momento de la semana bueno, básicamente voy a un poco de un B.A.R. conozco porque nunca hubo una semana en España con B.A.R. voy a la Champions Madrid Raúl García de Haro en la otra vez en la Champions Madrid contra José Asuna en el Sassuna striker Raúl García Basically, he scored the winner, the moment of his life, an excellent goal, especially with the last dribble to Raúl Asencio, if you saw it.

7:16Pol Ballus: Raúl Asencio, I'm calling him.

7:18Tom Williams: Oh, nice one. Yeah, yeah. Word is just sliding still somewhere around Pamplona. So, yeah, basically the goal gets disallowed after doing this because the referee sees an offside. y después de eso se ve el replay y se ve que no se ve como un offside Asensio Snees basically makes Raul Arcia onside y cuando el resultado se ve muy claro el refreer Alejandro Quintero just gives the offside y todos los replays son muy cerca de la reestación y de la try y de la ganancia en el final y en ese momento cuando el Osasuna se va absolutamente wild. Se despega de la sidelidad y dice, ¿qué está pasando? ¿Qué es eso?

8:07Tom Williams: No es un offside. Y, básicamente, es un caso de la refeer no escuchar bien lo que el VAR ha dicho. El VAR ha dicho que era un offside, así que se realiza que se ha justado el offside. Y se va el otro lado y dice, no, no, no, es un gol, yo lo he hecho. Y, sí, se da el gol, los Osasuna players se van wild. El mejor momento de la carrera de Raúl García de Haro, que es otro estriker que probablemente no ha cumplido el potencial que tenía y que no ha tenido ese momento en su carrera y le dio a Osasuna la primera ganación contra Real Madrid en casa en 15 años así que es un gran momento pero como dije, otra escena de caos en España

9:00Pol Ballus: Colazo espectacular! Colazo espectacular!

9:04Seb Stafford-Bloor: De Raúl García Leano!

9:07Pol Ballus: He got to celebrate it twice, thanks to VAR. Yeah, how lovely.

9:10Tom Williams: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

9:12Pol Ballus: All right. What's been your special moment so far, James Horncastle?

9:17James Horncastle: Well, there's been some upsets in Sevilla this weekend. I mean, probably no bigger than Padma going to San Siro and beating Milan for the first time in 12 years. La última golfe de Troilo Que fue un header Que quedó Aunque algunos de los Milan players Pensaba Troilo Era todo sobre el Milan defensor Batizaghi Milan wearing this new 4th shirt No sé si te gustó James Es todo red Un gran es Un gran es de la gente Pero el equipo que wore Están los dos 4th shirts just lost at the weekend. This was the case with Juventus in their hoops.

10:02Pol Ballus: Right. Juve wearing, and this did seem a little bit on point for me given the team involved, a kind of cartoon, escaped convict robber style jersey. Horizontal hoops. Were there like historical

10:17James Richardson: reasons for it or they just run out of things to do vertically?

10:21Pol Ballus: I think they're just trolling everybody else. Ladri. Yeah. What do you think, James?

10:26James Horncastle: I mean, I liked it so much I thought about buying it. Really? Yeah, I did. You should.

10:35Pol Ballus: It would give you a Dennis the Menace vibe, I think. And I'm referring to the English version rather than the American, the Beano Dennis the Menace.

10:43James Horncastle: But it was based on a design by Kappa in the mid-90s. But it was very much part of Juventus' training apparel in the 90s. They had like a rugby shirt with that design, with this sort of laced neck as well. So, yeah, but unfortunately it didn't bring them much luck against Como, who beat them at the Juventus Stadium.

11:11Pol Ballus: Fortunately for Como, a really tricky week. That for Juventus, well, part of a really tricky week that may well continue indeed on Wednesday when they have their return leg against Galatasaray. We'll be talking very shortly about what happened to Juve And the other Italian sides in the first legs Last midweek But Tom, your moment of the week

11:31James Richardson: Rennes away at Ozer Francais' first game In the Rennes dugout They go 1-0 up early on And they score an absolutely beautiful second goal Polish midfielder Sebastian Simanski January signing from Fenerbahce Pings a ball to the edge of the box And Esteban Lepol Who's Rennes go-to number 9 Chests the ball down Just outside the area Letss it bounce once And then hits the crisper shot That just flies straight over the goalkeeper Hits the bar, bounces down on the line Thunders up into the roof of the net He's now on 12 goals for the season Which makes him third top scorer Behind Mason Greenwood And Joaquin Panicelli of Strasbourg And Rennes ended up winning 3-0 Franca is off to a winning start Brilliant.

12:21Pol Ballus: Our winning start is going to be with James Horkussell and Serie A. This is the Totally Football Show with James Richardson, part of the Athletic FC Podcast Network. Yeah, James, you've got to get off to the Altemio Frankie setting for Fiorentina's key game against Pisa, a Tuscan derby. That'll be fun. So let's tackle some big questions relating to Italian football. First of which, you've got three Italian sides, All needing huge comebacks this week In the Champions League Playoff second legs Above all Juventus who managed to go from 2-1 up last Tuesday Away at Galatasaray 2 losing 5-2. Broadly speaking What's been the reaction?

13:00Pol Ballus: I'm sure there's been more Than one inquest as to the state of Serie A when all three Italian Representatives in the playoffs got absolutely Spanked

13:09James Horncastle: Yeah I think The usual introspection I think we've been here muchas veces, James, en el último 15 años. Yo diría que en la primera vez la ciudad de la ciudad había cinco teams en la Champions League porque ellos toparon la co-efficient. Así que, realmente, hasta la primera vez de la ciudad, las cosas fueron muy bien.

13:33Pol Ballus: Calcio fue back.

13:35James Horncastle: Calcio fue back, como la ciudad adverta. Pero, este año, la última vez la ciudad, el único equipo que se hizo el top 8 en la Champions League fase fue Inter que se fue todo el camino donde se colocó en gloria y la tres teams en la play-offs fueron los a Bruges, Feyenoord y PSV y hay miedo de algo similar en el hecho de haber nadie en la round de 16 onwards I would still say I'd be confident of Inter turning it around against Bodo Glimt even without their skipper de Arturo Martinez Atalanta's home form at the moment is really good they've won six

14:22Tom Williams: in a row at the

14:24James Horncastle: New Balance Stadium and seem to be hitting form at the right time Juve, look, not beyond the realm of possibility that they can make this a really exciting Wednesday night My doubt about Juve is the goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is having a nightmare At the moment Gleis and Bremer their best centre back has been out injured And they would need to Not only what score Three goals But also keep a clean sheet And clean sheets are just deserting Events at the moment

14:58Pol Ballus: You saw them on Saturday losing 2-0 at home To Cesc Fabregas' Como What were your thoughts about that? Bueno, ellos fueron whistled

15:07James Horncastle: before kick-off, ellos fueron whistled a half-time y ellos fueron whistled a full-time so quite the tens atmosphere at Juve, no easy atmosphere to play in for this group of players I think this was their worst performance as well of the last five I think if we look at even when Juventus lost 3-0 to Atalanta in the Coppa Italia quarter-final no es un score de la línea que flacó Atalanta pero ellos realmente seizan el momento cuando ellos tenían chances, ellos eran clinical pero Juventus felt como ellos dominated la game, el derby d 'Italia James, como you know, hablamos sobre esto last week un gran controversy sobre Pia Calullo que no se sentía, no se sentía Juventus played un buen primer en esa game y fue 2-2 ¿no?

15:57James Horncastle: ¿no? ¿no? en el 89 de la minuto y luego lost eso y, por lo tanto, contra Galatasaray, se han ido behind a un mistake y han sido haciendo quite a lot de estos silly mistakes against el run de play pero se han se han ido en frente, se han ido a un buen first half en el estampol y luego a un buen sending off y, por lo tanto, back-to-back sendings off en games mentally y, por lo tanto, fueron quite fragile y el game got away from them pero, sí, como were muy, muy, muy, muy, y, y se puede, en vez de pôr en el peor de la gente, en este equipo de Juventus, nos típamos de cómo buen un coach Cesc Fabregas es.

16:39Pol Ballus: Right. He le gusta a la gente, como lo vimos midweek, en la draw con Milan, cuando se provoca los angustes con Max Alegre, se reached out y touched, possibly pulled the shirt de Salomecas, mientras que el play was activo. Max Alegre, Salomecas manager, Vendor came over to remonstrate and himself received a red card, which felt a little bit unjust. Well played to Como. Sorry.

17:04James Horncastle: No, I think Max allegedly was shouting at Fabregas, you're a child, you're an idiot. So, yeah, I think his red card was not necessarily unmerited.

17:17Pol Ballus: OK. Como, anyway, now only a point behind Juventus, who themselves find four points between themselves and Roma, que han movido a la Champions League posición. Juve, a sumar, ahead of the second leg against Galaterra en el que ellos necesitan por cuatro goals, están haciendo loads de defensive mistakes. We saw that Lloyd Kelly might as well have been certainly a commotion involved. Lloyd Kelly with the fourth Galaterra goal and also they can't score because Vlajevic is out and Jonathan David is out and Openda isn't.

17:52James Horncastle: Yeah, I mean Spalletti after the game en el sábado. Creo que fue muy regrettoso de la primera chance de la game que falle a Openda. Es como un Lloyd Kelly ballo de la top y Openda no realmente conectó con él. Él pensó que fue una mejor chance que el que fue Comar take la lead. Pero you're absolutamente right. La striker posición ha sido un problema para ellos todo el año. Jonathan David hizo un pequeño cameo contra Comar. Pero no tienen a dependable número 9, even though Spletti had got Jonathan David to show signs of life. They're just so dependent on players like Kenan Yildiz to have a stroke of genius.

18:37James Horncastle: I think Yildiz, you'll see he plays with a bandage around his knee. He got a knock quite early against Galatasaray in the goal that Victor Osman helped set up. If you can snuff out que no yieldes, que es difícil, pero si puedes hacer eso, lo que puedes hacer es un largo camino para que el evento se descanse. Seb.

18:59James Richardson: Sí, James, yo estaba viendo este juego. Antes de haber, creo que un músico que le provided un entretienment durante el warm-up. Everyone fue crazy. People estaban más upsetando eso

19:09James Horncastle: que el resultado. ¿Qué fue eso? Así que fue French Montana, Seb. Educación. Bueno, French Montaño es definitivamente no local. Creo que he may have... ¿Date a Kardashian? Creo que había dado a Kardashian en un momento. Pero esto fue todo con el lanzamiento de su cuarto jersey. I know que Juventus want a attract celebrities y big names a ir a la iglesia y hacer más con su prematch. es difícil de hacer eso en Turín que es en Milán, por ejemplo Tom Brady, por ejemplo fue a la Milán-Como y muchas celebridades passen a Milán todo el tiempo si se van a la Fashion Week o la Winter Olympics San Siro ha siempre siempre ha un blu chip, A-star celebridad y yo creo que Juventus han estado trying a hacer eso pero es un mejor draw para que los goles a la ciudad de Turín No,

20:18James Richardson: no, no. I mean, yeah.

20:21James Horncastle: In the stands, I was not. I did. I scratched my own head. I was like, what am I witnessing here?

20:27Pol Ballus: Very restrained of you, James. Very restrained. Quick word on the title race, which looks over, to be fair. Inter winning this weekend. They got a 2-0 victory in Lecce, despite the absence of Lausardo Martínez. To move 10 points clear of Milan, who, as you mentioned before, lost 1-0 at home to Parma. Napoli en tercer spot lost 2-1 away at Atalanta which means that Napoli and Roma are now level with the partner pay ahead on a goal difference What about Atalanta and Inter's chances of turning their playoff ties around. Inter were beaten 3-1 in the Arctic Circle against Bodo Glimt. It was 2-0 meanwhile for Atalanta away at the Signal Iduna Park.

21:12Pol Ballus: Seb Borussia this weekend, how are they looking?

21:16James Richardson: A little bit fatigued, Jimbo So they went 2-0 down to Leipzig And then pulled that back to 2-2 With a very, very late Fabio Silva goal Which felt like a victory given the circumstances And given two and a half days rest But none of their best And the defensive issues that they had in the first leg of that game They're still there, still no Schlotterbeck Still no Sule It's a problem and they're very weak down Both sides of their defence at the moment

21:40Pol Ballus: Fabio Silva's first goal for Dortmund

21:42James Richardson: Sí, primero, ha actuado deatro Give Usilio, Hera había sido así de�ênclized a si tiene Berthís deCorunia. Pero haちょっと una deullOK y un poco estáET sense laughs laterales,

21:54Pol Ballus: él sí ha derivado a挑ército en el punitorio Moders affects parte delso que haído sobre los Weekly Sigurdios, vunet usualmente, en�니다 de Canadá en Helios ubicación.

22:10James Richardson: ¿Qué es sucede? Dortmund's style of play. So under Kovac, they'd much rather sit and counter. They don't really want to be playing on the front foot because of some of those defensive weaknesses. So the team on advantage allows them just to sit in a really deep block. And then probably, I'd imagine, because he started on the bench at the weekend, probably use Adeyemi's pace on the break with Gourassi, with Silva, with Baier. These are good runners at the top of their formation. So they're well built for it. And I think everyone's pretty confident that they'll get through.

22:38Pol Ballus: ¿Por qué, James, do you retain hope que Berga Maschi can turn it around?

22:43James Horncastle: Just because of their home form at least domestically I say domestically because as Sebas told us they lost to Dortmund and if we look at the last two league phase games, they lost to Union Saint-Gilois and they lost to Athletic at home as well so that's three straight defeats in this competition they have y no hay que lidiar con algunos de los injuries. Charles de Quetelet, por ejemplo, ha sido out. Pero sí, tienen muchas opciones. Creo que están viendo lo que Ademola Luchman está haciendo para Atletico Madrid y pensando que quizás podría usar Luchman. Pero el ambiente en Berge en estos nights es especial aunque no es el mayor estadio en Italia.

23:32James Horncastle: Así que, hasta esos dos finales League Phase games, Palladino had kind of Really impressed in The kind of brief period That he'd been in charge in the Champions League between The Marseille game and The Athletic game So let's see what we get

23:50Pol Ballus: In this tie Okay, and Inter who reached the final In two of the last three seasons but May not even make the last 16 This time, why might they James Why might they turn that 3-1 around Against a Bodo side that in their last road trip

24:03James Horncastle: And it's not just...

24:33James Horncastle: Boni, so they really feel that they have the firepower to do this and then Federico Di Martico, who had a nightmare in that Champions League final, Di Martico has come back this season and if, when, into win the league, because they are 10 points clear Federico Di Martico will probably be named the most valuable player in the league he'll take that title off Scott McTominay 15 assists in all competitions, he's got 5 assists in his last 5 games en Serie A, que creo que muy pocos han hecho. You talk about Antonio Casano. He sort of really filled the creative, I wouldn't say gap in the team, that Hakan Chalanoviu no being as fit as he used to be.

25:17James Horncastle: Di Marco has really stepped up on set plays. And also, they lost in Glimt, as Man City have 5-1, but they created enough chances for that game to be closer. So they hit the woodwork a couple of times. So I'm still confident Inter can go through in this round.

25:38Pol Ballus: OK, that's coming up Tuesday night. And along with the return to form of Di Marco, there's also the return of D 'Anton Donfriese on the other side, which has been traditionally so much a part of Inter's successes when they've done well. One last thing, James, before you head off to see Fiorentina-Pisa, y que es a wish our very best to Ruben Loftus-Cheek who picked up a very nasty injury in that game against Parma at San Siro Yeah

26:09James Horncastle: it looked really nasty he had to be stretched off he had a kind of neck brace and head brace put on but late last night the club revealed he hadn't lost consciousness he hadn't even got a concussion it was all just preventative Pero aún así, creo que había perdido un par de las manos de la cabeza. Y tenía una fractura en su jaw también. Así que ha tenido la cirugía de la mañana. Y vamos a ver cómo se hace para Rubén se recuperó.

26:42Pol Ballus: OK. James, enjoy yourself there en Fiorentina Pisa. Y nos vemos pronto para vernos de nuevo. Great. La Liga.

26:59¡Cumpleaños, Lesslie!

29:11James Richardson: ¡Gracias por ver el video!

29:21Pol Ballus: La Liga, all change at the top again. Paul, Real's lead in La Liga, lost in precisely one week after they went and lost 2-1 at Osasuna and Barcelona beat Levante 3-0. First of all, the Osasuna game. What happened to Real Madrid then?

29:39Tom Williams: Real Madrid were not great again, which is something that, in a way, has been the tendency of the whole season. But I think that they paid a bit the price of the Benfica effort. Arveloa came with a lot of rotations in the squad and it didn't work out basically. I think that Ossacuna were the better team. It was a deserved win in my opinion. They got ahead thanks to a penalty, a bit of a soft penalty. Then Real Madrid gets into the game thanks to Fede Valverde who does a really great solo effort and then Vinicio stabs it in. And then I think that at the end of the game Marveloa didn't get the substitutions right y con los cambios, Asuna se ha puesto en el juego de nuevo.

30:23Tom Williams: Y como mencioné en el momento de la semana, en extra tiempo Raúl García de Arro encontró este primer ganador de Osasuna en 15 años contra Real Madrid. Y un gran rilíf por Barcelona. Porque en una manera, en el fútbol español, el momento de ambos clubes es marcado por cómo su oposición está haciendo. así que básicamente le dio Barcelona un boost de la moral y todo para ir el siguiente y ganar Levante sin un gran esfuerzo

30:54Pol Ballus: ¿Had Aboloa prioritizado la return leg contra Benfica para su selección?

31:00Tom Williams: Creo que también managed a beat los players porque por ejemplo Hausson fue injured y missed el game y es still a doubt para el segundo leg de Benfica tie Antonio Rudiger he's possibly not ready still to play that many amount of games and in the back line three out of the four players didn't play didn't start against Benfica so that was a big change and then up front there's an elephant in the room right now at Real Madrid which is Benítez is playing really well but Mbappe is not Mbappe is going through some discomfort in his knee he's not fully fit Arbeloa himself admitted that on the press conference and yeah despite not being fully y Arbeloa no tomó el partido.

31:44Tom Williams: Y creo que podría haber costado Madrid el resultado. Y cuando yo le pregunté, y cuando me pregunté a mis colegas en Madrid y los datos que tienen en el club, en el club se pointó los dedos hacia Arbeloa porque de la resultado de la Osasuna. Ellos dicen que la rotación era demasiado. Y que, como he ha hecho bien con el ego de la gestión en el dressing room, posiblemente pensaba que ellos le dieran el win Es una cosa más fácil que ellos hicieron.

32:40Pol Ballus: el UEFA disciplinaria y el cuerpo puede hacer subsequently 10 games es el UEFA mínimo suspensión para racist conduct si es then found guilty pero esto es sin prejuicio mientras continúe su investigación que eso ha sido welcomed por Real Madrid y el team consideración la fact que esto ha sido taken seriously es

33:04Tom Williams: que es para ser seguro creo que Alejo ha sido supportive de Benicio Jr. en las últimas tres conferencias y en un modo, esto puede ser como un modo para apoyar Benicio Jr. después de lo que sucedió en Benfica. Pero sí, cuando te preguntes en Madrid, había mucha mucha importancia de la imagen de Cristiano de la mano de Bernabéu, quizás shaking hands o no con Benicio Jr. en el principio de la gama. Así que había mucha mucha, ¿qué va a pasar aquí? Bueno, ahora tenemos una respuesta porque esto no va a pasar Porque Presiano no va a ser ahí

33:42Pol Ballus: Y neither va Jose Mourinho Aunque todos van a estar checking La laundry baskets, I'm sure At el Bernabeu, he's suspended after his own Red card from the first leg

33:52Tom Williams: Yeah, he's not going to be in the torchland And he's not going to be in the press conference Either, because Benfica confirmed That he's not going to Do the pre-match press conference It's going to be his assistant, Joao Trallao Who's going to take on this duty So yeah, Jose Mourinho after the comments in the postgame which were heavily commented I guess that he decided not to show up again in his media appearance

34:18Pol Ballus: Vincent Kompany for Bayern Munich amongst those speaking out very eloquently on exactly what was wrong with Mourinho's postgame comments a lot said I think in lots of other places as well including the United Kingdom in Spain was there much reaction Paul?

34:33Tom Williams: Yeah there was a lot of reaction I'd say, I mean, the majority of the media and everyone, of course, there was a huge support of Benicio Jr. Because it's not the first time it's happened. The amount of cases of this sort of abuse that he's received in La Liga are countless. I mean, just pile up and pile up. And yeah, I think that the words of Jose Mourinho were received with a sort of a shock as well. There's a tendency, and it happens a lot as well when it's happened in La Liga, Just to try to blame Benítez a lot for his provocative manner and for the way that he became. Which he might provoke, he might tease a bit.

35:12Tom Williams: But of course, there's nothing that justifies that sort of abuse. And that's something that has been strengthened after the Mourinho Awards, after the first game.

35:21Pol Ballus: All right. 1-0 the lead then for Real Madrid from the first leg. Heavy favourites despite the narrowness of that lead for this second encounter to go through, Paul.

35:32Tom Williams: They are heavy favourites But I would say that the Osasuna game At the weekend I mean it's going to add a bit of a spice into that game Because at the minimum sign of Real Madrid Not coping with Benfica well Or just seeing something that is not going their way The Bernabeu is going to be heated up And it's going to be A really pressing place Not just for Benfica But also for Real Madrid I still would say that Real Madrid Will go through But watch out porque si algo sucede, el Bernabéu es un lugar para Real Madrid. Y creo que los peores que Benfica han causado grandes problemas para Real Madrid a la decisión de la casa.

36:12Pol Ballus: Muy true. Bueno, Barcelona, en el momento, con tres nil contra Levante. Estaban allí para ver esto. Estaban allí para ver esto. Firmin Lopez con la absoluta roca para el tercer gol.

36:22Tom Williams: Es un absoluto delta. I mean, imagine being right-footed y poder hacer eso con tu left foot.

36:31¡Viva!

36:36Pol Ballus: Todo el chico del Rocasco. El heavy metal del Barcelona.

37:00Tom Williams: que jugó bastante, y esta semana la equipo ha hecho un poco de team meetings con Flick, con el coaching staff, Flick asking los players lo que pensaban sobre el approach de la game y los players being muy open sobre lo que piensa. Y, básicamente, Barcelona ahora, Flick ha hecho algunos twigs y he just esperado que Barcelona pueda encontrar su feet y encontrar a manera de poner su approach en práctica sucesivamente. Fortunadamente para Flick, el dos tweaks que se hizo los que se hizo porque uno fue introduciendo Marc Bernal en holding midfield he scored the opener y el segundo fue a place Joao Cancelo as a starting left back y he delivered the assist for the second goal that Frankie de Jong scored great game from Joao Cancelo the best game he's had since he returned in the winter market and yet Barcelona are back in the top of the table which is great news for them

37:56Pol Ballus: ok and Pedri's back in the squad as well made an appearance aquí, half an hour or so en su return from injury Alright, this weekend it was the good Atletico who played which is auspicious because they've got a delicate second leg as well coming up midweek, in fact early on Tuesday, the early fixture is them hosting Bruges, with whom they drew 3-3 away last Wednesday Yeah

38:22Tom Williams: Let's see who shows up I think of course that Atletico are still like big favorites. When they play at home the Metropolitano is one of the toughest teams to visit in my opinion. The sort of atmosphere that it's created in there is amazing. I think that, I mean with all the bad stuff that we've discussed regarding Atletico Simeone now has a pretty clear starting lineup and a pretty clear plan and a pretty clear structure in his team possibly the biggest doubt is Alexander Sorlo which on merit I think that que debería empezar. Pero ¿qué significa que hay que benché Julián Álvarez, que es en un muy mal form?

39:01Tom Williams: No sé si va a hacer eso. Maybe Antoine Griezmann va a pagar el precio. Pero Alexandre Sorlot, quien ha scored dos gols contra España en el weekend, el mejor estriker de Madrid este año, y en un juego que Atletico needs score desperately against Bruges, creo que él va y debe empezar. Y, of course, I wanted a mencionar Ademola Lukman fue amazing, 4 goals and 2 assists en 6 games despite that Simeone was a bit critical on him as in saying that he's really good at adding numbers but he still has to improve in the collective approach of the team he needs to help a bit more in defence but I guess as long as you score a goal no one is going to complain too much

39:43Pol Ballus: which is a kind of weird thing to be saying about anything to do with Atletico Madrid for so long they were always about not conceding goals y luego puedes sneak una al otro lado pero ahora, como vimos en Belgián muy peligroso pero hay muchas cosas de atrás si se han quedado por Bruges que sería el problema en Madrid

40:05Tom Williams: No, eso sería un un efecto y vamos a ver con el club porque el siguiente week de la Copa del Rey contra Barcelona debería de ganar pero pero no no no no no no and build up and these sort of things and let's see what happens in there but yeah it's a couple of weeks with the season at stake for Atletico de Madrid who are basically done in La Liga they are not going to compete for the title so it's all about the Champions League and the Copa del Rey

40:40Pol Ballus: okay that

40:42Tom Williams: game coming up

40:42Pol Ballus: early

40:48Pol Ballus: Return leg against Benfica Wednesday evening. Paul, thank you so much. Next up, Seb, Steph, aplaud. Let's Bundesliga.

41:12Pol Ballus: Bundesliga, Seb.

41:27Pol Ballus: Sí,

41:31James Richardson: eso es para mí.

41:43James Richardson: 8 points es probablemente demasiado. Dortmund seem to be settling para consolidar su lugar en el top 4 y re-qualifying para el Champions League. Pero como he dicho, Leverkusen lost en Union Berlin. Stuttgart needed a muy, muy late Denis Undarv goal para conseguir un punto en Heidenheim. We've talked about Leipzig y Dortmund. Bayern were pretty good. They were good until they got 3-0 ahead y luego un otro slightly careless mode Kicked in, conceded two Really sloppy goals, penalty converted by Jonathan Burkhardt and then An absolute nightmare for Yosso Kimmich Did that thing you're told not to do when you're 8 years old Don't pass across your own box Pass across his own box And Arno Calamundo was there To ricochet a goal In for 3-2 just by closing down Just by pressing really And interesting because Kimmich got Kind of upbraided by Max Ebel The board member for sport afterwards y eso es así que no sé si lo falta...

42:57James Richardson: y no me ha hecho excusas, pero interesante porque Kimmich remains a muy, muy poderoso figure en el Bayern de Munic dressing room y criticando no por el fainthearted, es un muy bien, es un poco de lo que es un poco de lo que publica pero no se, pero no se endó costó Bayern, se ha hecho Frankfurt ok, pero están todavía en recuperación, hemos coveredo them before, so es un buen

43:21Pol Ballus: This Harry Kane fellow, tell us more about him, he es un buen

43:24James Richardson: 28 goals

43:27Pol Ballus: ¿Es he on track? ¿Es he, Seb? ¿Es he on track?

43:30James Richardson: He needs 14 more. El doubt that I have, Jimbo, is what happens if Bayern get to the very latter stage of the Champions League and start rationing Kane's minutes and start with the Bundesliga titles we've covered, probably it'll probably be relatively secure within two or three weeks' time. Does he spend that much time on the pitch, given his age? I don't know, but if things continue as normal, yes, he will get a la 42-goal mark, que sería suficiente para romper Robert Lewandowski su single-season goalscoring record. Let's see, let's see. A bit de la gran moment. I mean, if you look at the history of that, Lewandowski, of course, but Gerb Muller held it before Lewandowski, so that's some very rare air that Kane could infiltrate.

44:14James Richardson: And also, not in a classic Bayern team, really. I mean, they're powerful now, but if you look back at the teams that Lewandowski played for, I would say that they were probably better, so it would be a real accomplishment for him. Good Lord.

44:28Pol Ballus: 14 goals to get, 11 league fixtures to do it in. So it's going to be mighty impressive if he pulls that off. Meantime, it wasn't all good news for Bayern Munich at the weekend because Alphonso Davies has gone out injured again, but he's only just come back, Seb.

44:46James Richardson: Yes, so he recovered from his long-term cruciate ligament injury. He was out for nine months, came back in December. I mean, it wasn't good news, but it's better news than it could have been porque cuando Davis came off fue un poco de un tangle en la 48a minuta se siente down se quedó muy, muy disconsolente fue consolido por algunos de sus teammates se quedó con el fiel con su shirt sobre su face con todo el tell de una serious injury Max Ebel was asked en la zona de la zona sobre el injury y le dijo que no, no, no parece que un long termo el company came in a la conferencia de la conferencia y le dijo no, no, no, no es, pero por el tiempo Fonzie se ha ido a la dressing room afterwards, él era en un mejor mood.

45:30James Richardson: Se ha parecido que podría ser un mes. Y luego Bayern ha tenido un estrés un estrés. Así que un poco de meses. No ideal porque Davis ha yetido de acquire el ritmo que necesita para ser él mismo. Since coming back he just no hampíed enough football. Y también I'm not sure que Bayern can win la Champions League without what he provides down the left side. Without just the power the force the technical el 1-1 es tan valioso, lo que cambia el manera que Barna es atacar. Así que, sí, él va a ser más tarde, pero aún más inconveniente. El mejor news, es que, como de hoy, Manuel Nora, es en full training.

46:08James Richardson: Él ha sido un buen día en Sabana Strasa, así que es muy bien. Así que, él va a ser en el ritmo para el final de la estación.

46:16Pol Ballus: 11 games to go, entonces, Seb, Dormund, looking pretty safe for second spot. Hoffenheim en 3rd Have a 3 point lead Over the team in 4th I'm just wondering Who's going to get in Who will be seeing In the Champions League Next season from the Bundesliga With Stuttgart Still 2 points clear In 4th place Of Leipzig And fully 4 Of Leverkusen Are Leipzig and Leverkusen Going to miss out Do you think?

46:42James Richardson: No I fancy Leipzig To get there I think I know they've had A little bit of a blip But I think Their attacking tools Are a little bit more dangerous Also they're not playing European football Which is really Really helpful Particularly cuando se dice esto al tiempo, al que los clubes que no Bayern Múnich tendrían realmente sufres de jugar en Europa, en el Champions League, Europa o la Conferencia. Así que yo me voy a Leipzig a la momento. Y Stuttgart tenía un poco de un estuctorio performance en Heidenheim, la mayor parte de la Bundesliga, la Vuita Arena. Y no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Mi money me va a Leipzig por el tiempo.

47:21James Richardson: Ok, Heidenheim, how high es ¿Qué es lo que es?

47:53James Richardson: El primer equivalente de la Hawthorne.

47:56Pol Ballus: Sí, creo que quizás más. Es Heidenheim, ¿no?

47:59James Richardson: Porque la Hawthorne es muy muy alta, pero no se ve muy alta.

48:02Pol Ballus: ¿Es que? Sí, cuando se ve. Heidenheim no se ve muy alta en términos de la Bundesliga de la standa. De course, de la ropa. Pero, Seb, para terminar, el relegación picture es tighter que nunca. Están en 14 puntos en la parte. Hay un poco de un gap. Verde Bremen, que ahora ocupan el penultimo spot, con St. Pauli beating them this weekend to leapfrog them and move up into the relegation playoff spot but then you've got Wolfsburg who are only goal difference outside that relegation playoff spot and Mönchengladbach and Mainz only a couple of points further up my word

48:37James Richardson: I feel like, let's do them in order Mainz stodgy 1-1 draw with Hamburg on Friday night which all sorts of refereeing controversies including, so Fabio Vieira scored an equaliser for Hamburg, shouldn't have been allowed really porque es de la free kick y Nikolai Renberg, uno de Vieira de los teammates, estaba muy cerca de la defensa wall. He was dentro de la metre gap que le iba a ser de la leave. El refiere no spot y allowed el gol. Mainz probably should have had dos players sent off. El refiere missed that too. Un gran nightmare. Pero otro punto de la Mainz, they look like they're going the right direction.

49:13James Richardson: Everybody else, not so much. Gladbach looked very listless, really drifting. Wolfsburg led twice against Augsburg, Manuel Baumes Augsburg, 1-0 2-1 and then lost 3-2 in the 92nd minute which is just a terrible result for them so they're only above St Pauli on goal difference. St Pauli on Sunday, it was the El Scheisseco as it was christened in the German media a game that both teams really had to win. St Pauli got there 2-1, a really horrible moment for Mio Backhaus the Werder Bremen goalkeeper que es que se va a pillorizar por el, porque es un muy mal con un cambio de mitigación, no es un mal balance, no es un malo, no es un un malo, es un terrible, terrible momento para él, pero ha tenido un buen season y no es el motivo de la razón que Bremen son en esta situación, ha sido probable, no probable, definitivamente el mejor mejor de la mejor en lo que ha sido un muy fragile, poorly built pero sí, Sampalu 1-2-1 que puts them into la relegación playoff position and yeah it's fascinating it's it really I think we've said this before but it does not take much more than two results in either direction to be either looking free and clear or being in real trouble and I wouldn't really want to pick beyond Heidenheim I really wouldn't want to pick a second relegation certainty there.

50:38Pol Ballus: Right really only takes you one game at the moment because above Heidenheim an ultimate spot Werder Bremen there's three points between them and the next five La cinco teams All the way up to Mainz in 13 spots So we'll keep an eye on that In the absence of a title race Seb, magnificent Thank you ever so much And next up Ligue 1

54:37Pol Ballus: Liga, all change at the top again. Lens' lead lasted precisely one week. Tom Williams, after they got beaten by Monaco. And Paris Saint-Germain beat Mets 3-0. In fact, not only did Lens lose, but Lyon and Marseille also did too. So it was a great weekend for Paris Saint-Germain.

54:58James Richardson: Yes, great weekend for Paris Saint-Germain and for the clubs outside the Champions League places que fueron todavía hopeful de crashing into the top 4 o incluso en el top 3 Lens, surprisingly beaten at home to Monaco, they were going for an 11th straight Ligue 1 home win another full house Stade-Félix Bollard, I think that was the 80th successive sold out match for them at home, and it looked like they were in complete control, they went ahead after 3 minutes, Odson-Edouard with a really crisply finished volley Florian Thauvin tapped in early in the second half completely in control and they conceded three goals in the space of ten minutes as Monaco kind of did the opposite of what PSG had done to them in the Champions League last week by coming from two goals down to win 3-2 following Balogun who of course scored a brace against PSG with the first L 'Anse goalkeeper Robben Risse slightly at fault muy bueno, struck, shot towards his near post, bottom corner, couldn't keep it out.

56:05James Richardson: Denis Acaria, the Monaco captain, Swiss midfielder, crashes in a header off the crossbar for the equaliser, and then Ansu Fatih runs through to chip in the winner, after a bit of a defensive mix-up on the halfway line. So disappointment for Lens, that winning streak has come to an end, and they have abandoned top spot to PSG, encouraging for Monaco particularly with an eye on Wednesday's return leg in the Champions League against PSG at the Parc des Princes and one of the interesting features about the way they approached this game was that their form in the last two or three weeks has been better and they've looked more solid and that has been generally playing with a 3-4-3 system with Zakaria who generally plays as a central midfielder in the middle of the back three y contra PSG en el primer lugar de la semana, Sebastián Pogognoli decidió ir a 4-2-3-1 para que se aclaró el partido.

57:03James Richardson: Obviamente, se empezó el juego muy bien, pero no se ha ido a plan desde luego. Si se wonder si este impresionante wino a la lucha, convirtió a la lucha para que se convirtió para que se convirtió por Wednesday el juego en el Parc de Pranz, que es donde PSG ran out muy comfortable a la lucha de Mets. La perfecta preparación para el Monaco Luis Enrique shuffled his pack, goals from Desiree Due, Bradley Barcola y Gonzalo Ramos el único concern era que Due went off at half-time as a precaution, con la muscular issue, Luis Enrique played it down after the game el expectation es que he va a estar ok por Wednesday, pero we still don't know about Ousmane Dembele who of course limped off after 25-26 minutes of the first leg with a calf issue left out of the squad for the game against Mets on Saturday night and has to be a doubt I think for the game on Wednesday given that this is the second or third or fourth time this season that he's had to nurse a muscular issue

58:08Pol Ballus: Well indeed with Dembele out I imagine that the sight of Douay being withdrawn, great concern to Paris Saint-Germain fans ahead of this second leg even though they do have a terrific record at home to Monaco almost a decade since their last loss there to the Monagascos?

58:24James Richardson: I think Monaco won there more recently. Yes, in 2021 or something like that but generally speaking PSG tend to farewell at home to Monaco. It'll be interesting to see who they pick up front if, as we expect, Dembele isn't available. Ramos took his goal really nicely. Most of his goals are one-touch finishes, headers and volleys and getting in front of his man at the near post. pero este fue muy bien Lucas Fernández la bola en la izquierda en la izquierda y se le echó la defensa luchó en la izquierda high into la net con su izquierda pero Luis Enrique no le gusta starting con él y ha tenido un gran gran de la izquierda y ha tenido de la izquierda que si Dembele no es fit de la izquierda se puede ver la frente de Barcola Duey y Varascheglia y he may ask Aziru Duey a play en la izquierda y de la izquierda y de la izquierda de la izquierda en place de Dembele a Monaco last week, scored a brace and was on target again against Mets One other thing to note from this game ex-Barcelona youngster Jero Fernández made his full PSG debut in midfield, looked pretty tidy, I mean like every young midfielder who comes through La Masia fantastic technique moved the ball very confidently low centre of gravity obviously likes making little darting runs looked a little bit like he was struggling with the physicality.

59:48James Richardson: There were a few times when he was shrugged off the ball. But yeah, an interesting first start for PSG.

59:56Pol Ballus: Right. His move to the French capital provoked quite a lot of unhappiness in Catalonia-Repol.

1:00:03Tom Williams: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It did because in a way, Draw was Flick's preferred choice. Last season, he was playing two age groups below the first team, so he was not in the Barca-B team. no era en los 19, era en los 18 y Flick picked him y dijo que me gusta, que me ha gustado y lo ha gustado y todo y lo ha impresionado y hizo su Liga y Champions League debut y de la luz decidió salir y Flick felt a bit like betrayed en el sentido de la palabra por eso que causó un shock pero sí, no, creo que el stat, creo que el día de la semana que ha habido más minutos con PSG que con Barcelona este año So in a way he might He might feel that this vindicates a bit the move I don't know if he played more in midfield Or more as an attacker Because he's that sort of a High profile that can be Either a wing attacking midfielder or a deeper player

1:00:58James Richardson: Yeah he played on the left of a midfield three But he got into quite a lot of attacking positions As you'd expect PSG Playing at the bottom team in the league But yeah he did look like he was Comfortable in attacking areas

1:01:09Pol Ballus: It's always PSG though isn't it Paul Always PSG Sí, sí, no es el modelo de la team aquí en Barcelona. León es el turno de la mano, por ahora. Ellos han llegado a 13 straight victories y luego meto Gary O 'Neill a Strasburg. Luego meto Martial Godo a Strasburg. Tell us about el Greenwich Born goal getter.

1:01:30James Richardson: Sí, Greenwich Born y empezó a la carrera de Dartford. Y si Dartford fans me lo forgive, me, I'm not entirely sure which division they were in then or indeed are in now. He was loaned out to Marguerite at some point I think, ends up at Fulham I think he only made a couple of appearances for Fulham, they loaned him out to Wigan in League One and he's now banging in the goals in the French top flight, he has scored wrote this down somewhere seven goals in eight games under Gary O 'Neill, playing as a left-sided attacker and he got the opener here. Lyon were trying to equal the club record of 14 wins in all competitions, 14 consecutive wins in all competitions, which was held by the Gerard Houllier Lyon team of 2006-07 and that was like the great Lyon team, you know, Jannino, Karim Benzema, the two seasons they had under Houllier, 05-06 and 06-07, that was as good as that Lyon team ever got.

1:02:34James Richardson: They won the fifth y seis de sus siete consecutivos. Este Lyon ha tenido un excelente season pero ellos son miles de suerte. Así que se siente que hay un de forma de justicia, que no iguales el record. Ellos han Endric back de suspensión después de su sending contra Nantes. Él fue muy pobre. Creo que solo había un shot en target. He sacó a dos de diez de la equipe que puts él en el muy unwanted Eric Dier category. y Schrasburg were de gran valor Godot got the opener Diego Moreira, who's been in fantastic form playing against his former club scored the second goal Joaquín Panicelli got the third from the penalty spot his 13th of the season he's second top scorer in Ligue 1 and Schrasburg had been on a run of three games without a win in Ligue 1 I think that leaves them three points off fifth place Lille and only six points off Marseille in fourth So the fact that Lens and Lyon and Marseille, Lens to a lesser extent, but Lyon and Marseille both lost.

1:03:39James Richardson: Strasbourg, Rennes and Lille and Monaco, who are the four teams directly below them, all won. So, yeah, there is a degree of intrigue with regard to the European places as we enter the final 11 game weeks of the season.

1:03:53Pol Ballus: Yeah, Marseille, who are tumbling down the table after being close behind Paris Saint-Germain in the early part of the season, ahora con 14 puntos y risking missing out no solo en la top 3 pero también en la 4 pero también en la Europa con los Lille y Rennes con los hirings en Ligue 1 Marseille, por ejemplo, confirmó Habib Bey como su nuevo manager como el mismo Habib Bey que fue fired el día el día antes con Rennes con Habib Bey at the helm, they promptly lost 2-0 at Bres this weekend that's now four games without victory and they host Lyon next Sunday

1:04:32James Richardson: They do, in a game that feels absolutely pivotal, so yeah Habib Bey, former Marseille player in the mid-noughties, played for the fondly remembered OM team that reached the UEFA Cup final in 2004 lost to Valencia, if I'm not mistaken Habib Bey played in that team at right back, captain ha sido un año por un año y ha siempre cariado el club en su corazón, ha hecho no secreto que fue su sueño de ser un coach que ahora es un coach que es un coach que ha hecho un cambio antes de este viaje a Brest a Friday night, Roberto de Zerbi ha jugado con un back 3 o con un 4-2-3-1 y Baye went con bastante a conservative starting 11, 3 central midfielders which is not something that De Zerbi ever really did.

1:05:24James Richardson: Pierre-Emil Hojbjerg, Quintin Timber and Arthur Vermeeren, young Belgian midfielder, who made quite an impressive start to the season and then just got bombed out under De Zerbi. But they were well beaten, 2-0. Ludovica York, this sort of towering, very angular front man from La Réunion, a bit of a cult hero in French football with a headed brace in the first half. y OM a la casa de Lyon en el Olimpico como es sometimes referred to en un poco de naf fashion en France en Sunday evening y en Friday evening Lanzarote-Rasburg un poco de líquidos en Ligue 1 coming up this weekend Wren, por favor

1:06:11Pol Ballus: que just fired Habib Bey managed to get themselves a 3-0 win at Ose so a winning start y también mencionó esto antes, y también en el Ditching Your Manager bandwagon, Paris FC, el otro París que están residenando justo outside el relegación scrap. Ellos tienen un 6-point cushion, pero están en 15th spot. Ellos senten Stéphane Gilly en su camino, y han brought in Antoine Cumbarré. Ex-PSG.

1:06:43James Richardson: El email announcing Gilly's departure y Comboi's arrival landed in journalists' inboxes with about 20 minutes in between them so they've got their new man in quickly and obviously there was huge excitement about Paris FC being promoted at the end of last season we've got a derby in the capital for the first time in decades they spent an awful lot of money last summer whereas most of the clubs down there barely have two centimes to run together Paris FC are owned by Arnau family, Francia's richest family, and they spent quite conspicuously on what they thought was proven Ligue 1 talent. And a lot of that proven Ligue 1 talent has just not done the business.

1:07:29James Richardson: Players like Moses Simon, who came in, having been a key man for Nantes on the left wing, he's been very poor, he's no longer getting in the team. Pierre-Liz Malou, who was part of the Brest adventure in the Champions League. Another player who came in, they brought Ottavio, a Brazilian centre-back from Porto who had a lot of big European clubs chasing him and the idea was we're going to put together such a strong team that we don't even have to think about relegation we're going to finish solidly mid-table and then build from there and as you say only six points above the relegation places and so they've turned to Comboare who was the last PSG coach of the pre-QSI era famously sacked

1:08:10Pol Ballus: at Christmas while top of the table

1:08:13James Richardson: while top of the table en order to make room for Carlo Ancelotti which as it turned out worked out pretty well but in subsequent years has become seen as a bit of a firefighter tends to go into troubled clubs he's had a couple of spells at Nantes in recent seasons kind of like a French Sean Dyche if you will also a former uncompromising centre back and of course he knows that part of Paris well having played for PSG and coached them but he's now Quite literally across the road At Stade Jeanbois In the Paris FC hot seat Extraordinary What awaits us next weekend In Ligue 1 Tom? So the two biggies As discussed Hasburg-Lens To open the weekend On Friday night Marseille-Lyon To close the weekend On Sunday night In between You notably got Monaco at home to Angers PSG away to Le Havre And yeah Those are the Standout fixtures

1:09:09Pol Ballus: That's more than enough for me Tom thank you so much. Very welcome. Thank you as well to Paul and Seb, to James Horncastle, to producer Lucy, and to you, listener. Of course, we will return next Tuesday with another European adventure. Before that, both Wednesday and Thursday morning, regular, classic flavour Totally Football Show will be here to round up the previous evening's Champions League playoff second leg action. Do hope you'll join us for some of that if you have the time. But now, though, from all of us here, It's goodbye.
