School’s nearly out for the summer at Valdebebas. The lessons are finished, the movies are being brought out - but there’s still LOTS to talk about…

😡Is Rodrygo playing truant?

🇧🇷Will Carlo’s new contract affect the Bernabéu bench?

🤕Can a makeshift defensive duo shut out Mallorca’s Muriqi?

In the 40+ Clásicos I’ve worked for, this afternoon’s match SURELY ranks towards the very top.

George Foreman v Muhammad Ali. Tiger Woods v Phil Mickelson. The All Blacks v The Lions. Today’s El Clásico is right up there with the best sporting contests of the lot.

I CANNOT remember a fortnight or so quite like this one!

Well here we are. Last chance saloon for Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid.

It’s a big ask, but IF Real Madrid can win, I THINK they become title favourites. With a tough three Barcelona fixtures, and an easier run of form for Madrid, could Los Blancos save their season??

❓Is Balde fit to take part?

🔁Does Olmo start after COSTLY mistakes?

🇹🇷Will Güler be rewarded for his Copa final performance?

Pete and I discuss all this, and more….

You know Pete Jenson - he was a regular on The Big Interview, he’s already popped up a couple of times on Revista de la Liga and if you watch Spanish football on television across the world, you’ve heard him on commentary.

I caught up with Pete for two videos - the second one is coming up tomorrow, but here’s Pete on how he preps for the big one and what it is that makes Barcelona v Real Madrid different to any other fixture in the world.

Those two are free for everyone… but when I send my breakdown of the Clásico after the final whistle in Barcelona, that one will only be for the socios, those of you who have signed up to support this channel.

Well, Barcelona have waved bye bye to the treble. But I DON’T think that it matters.

Did they make too many mistakes? ✅

Did they fail – CATASTROPHICALLY – to defend a 3-2 lead? ✅

But should they hang their heads in shame? ❌❌❌❌❌

There’s still a double for Hansi Flick to play for – and MANY positives to take from defeat at the San Siro. Socios: grab a brew, a…

Hansi Flick isn’t worrying about double-marking on Lamine Yamal, or Inter Milan’s clockwork 3-5-2 that they could play in their sleep. He just wants his team to have fun.

Have fun?? FUN?! In a Champions League semi?? Has he gone MAD?!!

I think Barcelona’s boss MIGHT have been tucking into the CBD gummies ahead of his press conference. But, as his inexperienced whizz-kids prepare to face a team BUILT to win this tournament, has he had the right idea?

If it’s anywhere near as exciting as the first leg, we might all need a visit to the happy world of Haribo Hansi…

Socios: as ever, I’ll be back at full-time for our usual chat. Stay tuned….

May 1, 2005. An indelible moment.

Ronaldinho to Messi. History. The start of a journey that changed football and made the lives of all of us who love this game that bit richer.

May 1, 2025. Lamine Yamal is still a month younger than Messi was when he piggybacked on Ronaldinho in celebration of that goal. And he has won the Euro, the Copa del Rey… hell, he’s chasing a treble, not as a bit-part player but a leading man/boy.

This is me on Leo and Lamine.

He’s not Messi mark II. But he’s a bona fide footballing genius.

What do you think?
