]]> 2370 no Real Deal Pods: Developing Young Players On the latest episode of the Real Deal (the analysis portion of the Managing Madrid podcast), we’re joined by Jarod Hector, a Madridista and podcaster for True Hoop, to go over player development at Real Madrid. For many years, the trend at Real Madrid has involved stockpiling generational talents and figuring out what to do with them later. The result is generational players getting greatly altered development and career trajectories that don’t fulfill their potential. Examples from previous years include guys like Isco, Ceballos, Kovacic, or even Odegaard: whether they were world class or not, they were not signed with specific developmental pathways in mind. They were allowed to sink or swim. The result is generational players who stagnate. One example is Aurelien Tchouameni. He has his flaws: he loses confidence quickly, and the team hasn’t been great with him at DM at full strength. However, he was a 99th percentile defender before he came. While he needs consistency to build confidence, he has the tools to be a plus offensive player. 2022-23 was supposed to be a down year, not beginning of a new trend with Tchouameni. He’s played well for France before too. But at Real Madrid, he gets very little direction in or out of possession, and he hasn’t been able to thrive in this environment. Another example of a player who has no clear developmental pathway is Arda Guler. Fine, he got 444 minutes in all competitions last season, and that has been bumped up healthily to 835 minutes this season just halfway in. But he needs a specific role: either as a generational creator or generational deep lying playmaker. Sometimes he comes on in a deeper playmaking role, sometimes he comes on in a more off ball Brahim Diaz/Rodrygo Goes role and the ball doesn’t flow through him. He needs ball dominant reps as the central playmaker. Everytime Eduardo Camavinga has a bad game in possession, it’s easy to remember how little consistency he’s had in his role too. He’s had great games in possession, and a semblance of consistency in role would’ve aided him a lot, although that’s been worsened by his own injuries. That leads us to a deeper question: can this pausa we want in possession even be coached? Whether the team can be better coached on the ball or not, a group of elite defensive talents should not be getting run over in midfield as often as they have been. Camavinga and Tchouameni should be in much better positions to win duels defensively, instead of plugging gaps due to a total lack of defensive cohesion. With Raul Asencio: if the club knows they need another center back, and unless the club sees something we don’t that scares them off him, there should be no time wasted giving him reps at center back as well.

]]> 2996 no Real Deal Pods: Rivals On the Decline On the latest episode of the Real Deal (the analysis segment of the Managing Madrid podcast) Siddharth Ramsundar and Mazin Mukhtar discuss the state of Real Madrid tactically and run into an inarguable conclusion: no matter how badly the team performs, the lack of serious opposition domestically and in Europe give this team a much larger margin for error than we have become accustomed to over the past 15 years. During the Ronaldo era, 90-95 point title races were routine, and the standards were very high. Furthermore, there were usually multiple juggernauts in Europe outside Real Madrid. Last season, Real Madrid with 95 points were the first team in La Liga to cross the 90 point threshold since Ronaldo left the league. Barcelona have been much weaker in the years since Ronaldo left, and have struggled to put together long periods of consistency since Messi left as well. Bayern Munich have been more inconsistent in all competitions since their treble victory in 2020. This season, Real Madrid have played some of their worst football in recent memory, and have not been punished for it in La Liga. In the Champions League, no serious juggernaut could materialize the knockouts that would be serious favorites in a tie against Vinicius, Bellingham, Mbappe et al. This is the consequence of having the best players in the world, but also a consequence of opposition teams perhaps overfixating on tactics or not having the pull to stockpile the same quality of players as Real Madrid. Still, in the 2010s you got Bale, Benzema and Ronaldo at Madrid and Messi, Neymar and Suarez at Barcelona. Right now, the gap between Real Madrid’s best attacking line and the rest feels significantly large. Barcelona’s attackers are great on paper, but partly because they are platformed by a system that leaks a ridiculous number of chances. Did you enjoy this podcast?

]]> 2148 no Real Deal Pods: Breaking Mbappe’s Funk On this episode Siddharth Ramsundar is joined by Joel Adejola to explore how and why Kylian Mbappé has had early adaptation challenges at Real Madrid. We analyze the technical, tactical, and psychological elements that have contributed to his funk - from the complexities of integrating into Ancelotti’s system, physical issues, the absence of a 9 and the challenge of playing without Kroos’ buildup expertise. Beyond just diagnosing the issues, we examine the specific tweaks and adjustments that have slowly helped unlock Mbappé’s natural game while maintaining Madrid’s existing strengths. The discussion ranges from granular tactical analysis of his positioning and movement to broader questions about how superstars adapt to new environments. The episode also gets into the concept of a ‘funk’ from both a generic perspective across sports and takes a more specific look at the mathematics and trends behind finishing funks in front of goal, revisiting past examples like Benzema in 2018. We briefly discuss how we get over funks as individuals and how players in other sports like tennis have a slightly easier task than footballers. We also discuss the psychology of Mbappe having to play on a team in which he’s not the best player, and question whether he will ever be the best player for a Real Madrid team that has Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. Lastly, the episode forecasts Mbappe’s future at Real Madrid. If you’re interested in an abstract exploration of football that’s niche and specific without being a regurgitated form of ‘mainstream tactics’ then check out what Joel is building further at Ballerz Bantz.

]]> 2516 no Real Deal Pods: Upgrading The Madrid Machine When extreme success breeds complacency, even giants need updating. We dive deep into Real Madrid’s organizational structure and why it’s due for an overhaul. From medical modernization to youth development, from recruitment processes to power dynamics - everything’s on the table. We explore why Real Madrid needs system-wide updates: LA FABRICA AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT: La Fabrica needs to successfully produce role players for the first team at a much better rate, which would give the first team better injury insurance Why did Raul Asencio not have any prominence at the club until his assist for the first team? Did nobody notice that he was good? Building a true development pipeline requires investing in world-class youth coaches The current pay grade for youth team leads surely isn’t attracting top talents Creating a consistent playing philosophy from academy to first team would help, but is not required MEDICAL AND PERFORMANCE: Modern football demands a complete medical overhaul Why paying top dollar for medical leadership is as crucial as signing stars: players and coaches won’t take a medical guy seriously because their own jobs are on the line. Increasing pay gives the medical leadership more legitimacy and authority. The outdated approach to player health and recovery HUMAN-CENTRIC APPROACH: The unsustainability of having Valverde, Jude and others cover defensive duties for everyone Why burning out your most versatile players isn’t a long-term solution Creating balanced tactical systems that don’t overstress certain players The need for collective defensive responsibility LEADERSHIP EVOLUTION: Florentino’s increasing perfectionism with age How the pursuit of perfection can paradoxically block innovation by making you stick to your old systems The challenge of introducing new paradigms to established leadership Why self-preservation politics grows stronger in aging organizations, and is particularly prevalent at sports teams where everyone is worried about getting fired INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATION: Why sports teams lag behind Fortune 500s in innovation The mismatch between available resources and institutional innovation is large in sports Owners of sports teams typically permit worser standards of execution across the board at the sports team than they do at their own successful companies Innovation happens out of necessity, and usually comes with copying others: rare for a team to adopt an approach purely out of a desire to be ahead unless they copy it from the next team Successful innovation models: Kansas City Chiefs, Golden State Warriors Managing superstar egos while implementing systematic changes The need for a biology-centric leader to innovate going forward Learn more about your ad choices.

From medical modernization to youth development, from recruitment processes to power dynamics - everything’s on the table.

We explore why Real Madrid needs system-wide updates:

LA FABRICA AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT:

  • La Fabrica needs to successfully produce role players for the first team at a much better rate, which would give the first team better injury insurance
  • Why did Raul Asencio not have any prominence at the club until his assist for the first team? Did nobody notice that he was good?
  • Building a true development pipeline requires investing in world-class youth coaches
  • The current pay grade for youth team leads surely isn’t attracting top talents
  • Creating a consistent playing philosophy from academy to first team would help, but is not required

MEDICAL AND PERFORMANCE:

  • Modern football demands a complete medical overhaul
  • Why paying top dollar for medical leadership is as crucial as signing stars: players and coaches won’t take a medical guy seriously because their own jobs are on the line. Increasing pay gives the medical leadership more legitimacy and authority.
  • The outdated approach to player health and recovery

HUMAN-CENTRIC APPROACH:

  • The unsustainability of having Valverde, Jude and others cover defensive duties for everyone
  • Why burning out your most versatile players isn’t a long-term solution
  • Creating balanced tactical systems that don’t overstress certain players
  • The need for collective defensive responsibility

LEADERSHIP EVOLUTION:

  • Florentino’s increasing perfectionism with age
  • How the pursuit of perfection can paradoxically block innovation by making you stick to your old systems
  • The challenge of introducing new paradigms to established leadership
  • Why self-preservation politics grows stronger in aging organizations, and is particularly prevalent at sports teams where everyone is worried about getting fired

INSTITUTIONAL INNOVATION:

  • Why sports teams lag behind Fortune 500s in innovation
  • The mismatch between available resources and institutional innovation is large in sports
  • Owners of sports teams typically permit worser standards of execution across the board at the sports team than they do at their own successful companies
  • Innovation happens out of necessity, and usually comes with copying others: rare for a team to adopt an approach purely out of a desire to be ahead unless they copy it from the next team
  • Successful innovation models: Kansas City Chiefs, Golden State Warriors
  • Managing superstar egos while implementing systematic changes
  • The need for a biology-centric leader to innovate going forward

]]> 3205 no Is Xabi Alonso Ready For Real Madrid? While Xabi Alonso’s success at Bayer Leverkusen has created a compelling narrative about his potential return to the Bernabéu, the tactical reality might tell a different story. Alonso’s 2nd full season at Leverkusen has started off rough with the German outfit experiencing 5 draws and a loss in their first 10 Bundesliga games. New central midfield signing Aleix García has, as of November 11th, been benched and not been fully integrated. In this episode, Siddharth Ramsundar is joined by new guest Ardit Karagjyzi (known on twitter as Loconté) to dive deep beyond narratives into Alonso’s coaching philosophy at Leverkusen, analyzing his reliance on physicality and athleticism, his game-state dependent approach, heavy reliance on width and surprising similarities to Carlo Ancelotti’s reactive style. From his width-oriented 3-at-the-back system in possession to his unique usage of players like Xhaka and Boniface, we examine how his tactical setup might translate to Real Madrid’s context. We ponder his current limitations, questioning whether his emphasis on off-ball structure over possession mastery makes him the ideal candidate to lead Los Blancos into their next era. Our guest Ardit presents a detailed critique of Alonso’s tactical approach, highlighting concerns about defensive structure and over-reliance on athleticism, while Sid offers a contrasting perspective on why these elements might actually benefit Madrid. The discussion extends to fascinating comparisons with other potential candidates, such as praising Klopp’s intensity and questioning its toll on players, pondering whether Julian Nagelsmann was hard done at Bayern, while asking whether Alonso’s pressing philosophy might offer advantages over even Zidane’s reliable approach. Through this debate, we examine whether Madrid truly needs a revolutionary change or if Alonso’s evolution of the current system, combined with improved pressing and tactical flexibility, could be the perfect balance for the club’s future. This nuanced analysis goes beyond surface-level narratives to explore what Real Madrid genuinely requires in its next managerial appointment, offering listeners a comprehensive view of one of football’s most intriguing discussions: who should next coach Real Madrid?

]]> 4918 no Has La Liga Declined? As we move further from the era defined by Ronaldo and Messi’s rivalry, La Liga’s status among Europe’s top 5 leagues gets increasingly questioned by the day. While Real Madrid dominate, win, sign Kylian Mbappes and routinely beat the Premier League’s best to superstar players, the rest of Spain is rarely as cohesive. This episode of the Managing Madrid podcast dives deep into the current state of Spain’s top flight, examining both its recent resurgence since the lows of the pandemic and ongoing challenges. Spain’s Euro victory this summer with a young team made infinitely better by great coaching and enhanced by a cohesive national footballing culture. 2. The dominance of coaches like Arteta and Guardiola in the Premier League 3. Spain’s overall European record even in a ‘down spell’ these past 4 years. All these things illustrate how Spanish football’s culture remains utterly dominant in world football. However, the lack of purchasing power relative to the Premier League creates issues as well. Special guest La Liga Systems is here to defend Spanish football from its detractors. We explore the league’s financial health (cost controls, profitability), innovative tactical approaches, and an exciting new generation of talent emerging from club academies. At the same time, we critically assess issues like diminishing purchasing power relative to the Premier League, the struggle to retain rising stars, and the lack of high quality strikers. From Girona’s progressive model to Real Madrid’s enduring European dominance, we analyze the teams that are likely to move the needle for La Liga’s stature going forward. We also discuss the focus on youth development thanks to cost controls, evolving coaching philosophies, and how the league’s culture remains mature relative to peers in Europe. Join us for an nuanced look at whether La Liga has declined or simply transformed, as we weigh its current strengths against the golden age of the 2010s.

As we move further from the era defined by Ronaldo and Messi’s rivalry, La Liga’s status among Europe’s top 5 leagues gets increasingly questioned by the day. While Real Madrid dominate, win, sign Kylian Mbappes and routinely beat the Premier League’s best to superstar players, the rest of Spain is rarely as cohesive. This episode of the Managing Madrid podcast dives deep into the current state of Spain’s top flight, examining both its recent resurgence since the lows of the pandemic and ongoing challenges. Spain’s Euro victory this summer with a young team made infinitely better by great coaching and enhanced by a cohesive national footballing culture. 2. The dominance of coaches like Arteta and Guardiola in the Premier League 3. Spain’s overall European record even in a ‘down spell’ these past 4 years. All these things illustrate how Spanish football’s culture remains utterly dominant in world football. However, the lack of purchasing power relative to the Premier League creates issues as well. Special guest La Liga Systems is here to defend Spanish football from its detractors. We explore the league’s financial health (cost controls, profitability), innovative tactical approaches, and an exciting new generation of talent emerging from club academies. At the same time, we critically assess issues like diminishing purchasing power relative to the Premier League, the struggle to retain rising stars, and the lack of high quality strikers. From Girona’s progressive model to Real Madrid’s enduring European dominance, we analyze the teams that are likely to move the needle for La Liga’s stature going forward. We also discuss the focus on youth development thanks to cost controls, evolving coaching philosophies, and how the league’s culture remains mature relative to peers in Europe. Join us for an nuanced look at whether La Liga has declined or simply transformed, as we weigh its current strengths against the golden age of the 2010s. This episode offers valuable insights for fans, analysts, and anyone interested in the trajectory of one of world football’s most storied leagues. VIDEO: Did you enjoy this podcast?

As Real Madrid fans, we’re naturally inclined to crown him as the best ever in his position. But what do impartial scouts say? How would an all-seeing football deity, privy to every match ever played, judge Kroos’s legacy? In our latest podcast episode, we tackle this monumental task head-on. We’re joined by scout and technical football methodologist Kannan A. who brings a unique, expert perspective to dissect the careers of three midfield maestros: Toni Kroos, Xavi Hernández, and Andrea Pirlo. This isn’t your typical surface-level, armchair analysis. We dive deep into the tactical and technical aspects of their games, employing rigorous methodology to evaluate their contributions. Our goal is to differentiate between their innate talents and their tangible impact on the pitch. We meticulously compare their peaks, overall careers, and ultimately, their places in football history.

In our latest podcast episode, we tackle this monumental task head-on. We’re joined by scout and technical football methodologist Kannan A. who brings a unique, expert perspective to dissect the careers of three midfield maestros: Toni Kroos, Xavi Hernández, and Andrea Pirlo.

This isn’t your typical surface-level, armchair analysis. We dive deep into the tactical and technical aspects of their games, employing rigorous methodology to evaluate their contributions. Our goal is to differentiate between their innate talents and their tangible impact on the pitch. We meticulously compare their peaks, overall careers, and ultimately, their places in football history.

]]> 3795 no Castilla Corner: The Season Review In our latest podcast episode, hosted by Hridyam Arora and Sam Sharpe, we talk about Castilla’s season in a nutshell, how important it is for a squad rebuild, Raul’s legacy as a coach, and the main reason for Castilla’s dormancy. Here is a sneak peek of what we talk about: Would this season be considered a success or a failure for the team and Raul? Judging by the quality this year’s Castilla side boast, would a 10th-placed finish really be considered a success, or is there work ahead for Raul and the boys? Who stays at Castilla next season? There are a lot of players who should leave either because they are too good, or they are not good enough, and there are a lot of players who fall into that category. What is next for Raul? Raul has, frankly, stayed for a very long time at the club. He has done a phenomenal job at Real Madrid Castilla, and it is understandable to see why he would not want to leave, but is that reason really enough? The importance of signing new players immediately We discuss the importance of external talent, not just for Castilla, but for Real Madrid as an entire club. Why is it so important? Discussing who to keep, and why to keep them There are players like Manuel Angel who have just had their first year at Castilla, and with a bit more of experience under their belt, they will start to truly blossom as players. Who is on the short, short list of players to keep? Where is reinforcement needed? We talk about the positions where Castilla need to sign players before anything else. And a lot more.

]]> 2713 no Toni Kroos Career Retrospective In this special episode, we’re joined by Jarod Hector, a Madridista and podcaster for True Hoop to pay tribute to the legendary Toni Kroos as he hangs up his boots. We dive deep into Kroos’ immense impact on Real Madrid and the German National Team’s tactical identity, as he brought control to teams that traditionally preferred more heavy metal, transition-focused approaches to the game. Jarod helps us contrast Kroos and Luka Modric with their predecessors, Mesut Özil and Xabi Alonso. We also explore how Florentino Pérez’s crucial improvements as club president during the Kroos era laid the foundation for an unprecedented period of success. From the historic threepeat to Kroos’ ability to carry the team in the post-Ronaldo seasons, we leave no stone unturned in our analysis of his legacy. We focus on Kroos’ unique ability to control the game and process information on the pitch relative to other greats like Xavi, Busquets and Thiago. Looking ahead, we evaluate Real Madrid’s squad depth and the daunting task of replacing a player of Kroos’ caliber. The conversation then ends by touching on the NBA playoffs and the rise of Luka Doncic, as we explore the fascinating concept of subjective time and cognitive processing speeds in sports.

We also discuss his adjustment to swap wingers and bring Guerreiro on for width in the 2nd half. We then look at Carlo’s potential approaches in the 2nd leg. Will Madrid have more of the ball? How will they handle Bayern repeating the same approach? How will Tuchel make up for Guerreiro’s key absence with Coman also out and Davies not trusted?

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Join us as we welcome Dom @DKostanjsak and Dev of @BarcaFutbolLive to talk about FC Barcelona this season and preview the biggest fixture in football: El Clasico

Barca faced a tough week, crashing out of the Champions League and potentially facing a trophy-less season. Will their morale affect their performance in the upcoming Clasico? Historically, form tends to go out the window in this fixture. On the other hand, while riding high on euphoria, Real Madrid may be battling fatigue after a grueling game at the Etihad.

The crew analyzes Barcelona’s struggles to control games under Xavi’s leadership and examines their approach over the last two months. We also shine a spotlight on the emerging talents of Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi, while discussing Ronald Araujo’s recent mistakes. Furthermore, we explore how Barcelona may or may not adapt to the absence of Gavi in this crucial fixture.

Tune in for an in-depth look at the tactics, players, and potential outcomes of this epic clash between two of the world’s most iconic football clubs.

From midfield maestro to managerial wunderkind, we evaluate how Alonso’s flexible approach, attention to detail, and football IQ make him a fascinating case study for modern coaching strategy.

We analyze City’s form since their treble and examine whether Kovacic is filling Gundogan’s shoes in midfield. We also discuss how Jude Bellingham alters this head to head matchup and the resurgence of former City prospect Brahim Diaz at Real Madrid. Looking ahead, we debate whether Madrid have built an elite strikerless attack and if any team outside the two superclubs can contend for Champions League glory. Alex provides insider perspective on Pep Guardiola’s philosophy and how it stacks up against Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid. We also forecast how the Spanish giants and English champions may fare both domestically and in Europe this season. Overall, it’s an illuminating discussion between two football experts about what makes these powerhouses tick. A must-listen for any fan of Real Madrid, Manchester City, or world-class football.

]]> 3784 no Real Deal Pods: Positionism vs Relationism: Carlo Ancelotti, Xabi Alonso & The Real Madrid Way On this episode we bring on an extremely intelligent guest in Clarissa Barcala to discuss the managerial styles of positionism (attacking via position-driven movements that require rehearsal and coordinated positioning) and relationism (attacking more spontaneously by allowing individual players’ actions to dictate how the team attacks space). Clarissa makes a compelling case for why Carlo Ancelotti is the ideal coach for Real Madrid. Tune in to hear the crew explore a variety of topics: where do Xabi Alonso, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane fall on this spectrum? Does strict positional play get too predictable and fall apart in the Champions League? Where does pressing fit into relationism? Was Endrick held back by a positonist coach in Brazil? Where do coaches like Klopp, De Zerbi, Sir Alex, Wenger and Mourinho fall on this spectrum? Is Carlo one of the bravest coaches at the top? Is Carlo really outdated or is that a myth? TIMESTAMPS: 1:37 - Defining positionism and relationism 8:49 - Pep’s teams becoming more mechanized and positional over the years 13:23 - Does positional play get too predictable in the Champions League? 15:53 - The differences between Xabi Alonso and Carlo Ancelotti 21:58 - Where do pressing and other styles of defending fit in the positionist-relationist paradigm? 24:48 - Pushing back on the idea that Carlo Ancelotti is ‘outdated’ 27:23 - Is Zidane more of a positionist or relationist? 30:09 - Do wingers struggle under positionist coaches? 35:33 - Clarissa’s favorite relationist teams of all time 39:40 - Categorizing Mourinho, Ferguson, Wenger and De Zerbi 49:46 - On Why Carlo Ancelotti is one of the boldest attacking coaches in football? 53:27 - Endrick at Palmeiras 57:30 - Closing thoughts on why Carlo is the right man for Real Madrid Find us on X, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok at @realdealpods for more takes and banter between episodes on our Managing Madrid Spotify feed!

]]> 4370 no Real Deal Podcast: The New Guard - How Camavinga, Gavi, Jude Are Ushering In A Physical Era In Spanish Football Long defined by small technicians like Xavi, Iniesta and Modric, Spanish football is seeing the emergence of a new generation of elite midfielders who bring a more physical presence. In this episode of the Real Deal, we analyze how the arrivals of Eduardo Camavinga at Real Madrid and Jude Bellingham’s emergence at Borussia Dortmund, along with Barca’s Gavi, signal a transition to a more athletic, box-to-box style of midfielder. Camavinga brings a rangy, powerful skillset from midfield, while Gavi plays with tenacity and aggressiveness belying his small stature. Bellingham adds goal threat and is an elite box-to-box presence. Their early success shows this blend of technical security, intelligence and athleticism is set to dominate for years to come, and change our view of ‘controlling’ dominant midfielders set by Kroos, Modric, Xavi and Iniesta in the past.

On last week’s world famous Real Madrid mailbag that goes up every week exclusively for Managing Madrid Patrons, Kiyan Sobhani and Lucas Navarrete spent an entire episode answering questions from fans. Topics this week included: Do Real Madrid lack leaders for next season? Who is the next club ambassador? What are our thoughts on the new kit? And more.

The clip we’ve uploaded for free on YouTube this week is a question asking us to give our thoughts on Jude Bellingham taking Zinedine Zidane’s number five shirt. Also in here: Will the new Champions League format benefit Real Madrid? What was the biggest difference between Toni Kroos and Xabi Alonso? And, most importantly, who are the best looking players in the Real Madrid squad?

The clip we’ve uploaded for free on YouTube this week is a question asking us to give our thoughts on how whether or not Vinicius Jr is that much better than Rodrygo Goes. Also in here: The top five Real Madrid players of all time, the underrated Xabi Alonso - Luka Modric - Angel di Maria trio, and the second worst transfer in club history.

For this reason I needed to start big, and get a guest of the highest quality in to talk to. We needed to enter rival territory to get the right man for the job. And who better than perhaps the Barcelona version of myself? Navid Molaaghaei (@NavidJaaan) from the YoungCules Twitter account was kind enough to miss the first half of the Barcelona-Levante game to come and speak to us.  The topics included: We spoke about Nav, and the work he does and how he got into it all the way from Denmark!We talked about Castilla and Barcelona B and how they are both faring in Segunda B this season, as well as what they’ve been up to during the past few years. We took some questions from you guys! We tried to answer all of them, but I read them directly from Twitter due to being a complete amateur, and may have got some confused or forgot to read out names! We compared and contrasted the best Barca B and Castilla teams of all time. Of course note that this section completely opinionated , and was meant for a bit of light hearted fun (Translation: please don’t slay me for putting in Casemiro ahead of Del Bosque!!). Who would make your team? The scores from this game were as so:Castilla/Barca B Iker Casillas✔/Víctor Valdés❌ Dani Carvajal✔/Albert Ferrer❌ Manolo Sanchís❌/Carles Puyol✔ Nacho Fernández✔/Marc Bartra❌ José Antonio Camacho✔/Sergi Barjuán❌ Casemiro❌/Sergio Busquets✔ Guti❓/Pep Guardiola❓ Juan Mata❌/Xavi Hernández✔ Jesé Rodríguez❌/Lionel Messi✔ Míchel❌/Andrés Iniesta✔ Raúl González✔/Pedro Rodríguez❌ So, 5-5 with one point to go (Thanks to Nav refusing to let Raúl leave without a point), it is now down to you guys to decide who wins... Just who was better, Guti or Guardiola? This was seriously fun to make, and I am certainly open minded to the idea of making more. I learned a lot simply from talking to Nav about the goings on at Barcelona, and I hope you guys find it all as insightful as I did. If you wan’t this to become a regular thing with a range of different guests coming on to talk football, then please don’t hesitate to leave some feedback on how you found it! Make sure to follow Nav (@NavidJaan), and the YoungCules account as it is seriously insightful even for non-Barca fans like ourselves! Once again a big thank you to Nav, and also to you guys who made hosting any type of show possible. I can’t wait to hear some of your thoughts!  Did you enjoy this podcast?

There's a fair amount to say about this match but, let's be real, this was a game where Celta decided to emulate Simeone's Atleti and literally injure as many people as possible.  Oh, and Barcelona lost.

And is this the new normal for him? (I think you can guess where we were on this). Alright, let's talk about injuries. Nacho's injury is huge. He's a modern defensive back, playing multiple positions--the duct tape, if you will. Casemiro's only out for a bit, so that's good. And Regilión, who was huge in this match, will also be out--where does that leave us?Some high points from the match: Benzema. Benzema. Benzema. And Modric--is he back? And he's a hugely important cog in this machine, so an in-form Modric could be a massive upgrade. Solari's decision to play Odriozola and Reguilión instead of Nacho and others out of position.Madrid held Celta to around 1 xG in Balaídos--a great result.
