The Guardian Football Weekly panel, led by Max Rushden and featuring Barry Glendenning, Lars Sivertsen, Seb Hutchinson, and Sid Lowe, dissects a dramatic weekend in football. Tottenham Hotspur's 1-1 home draw against Leeds United intensifies their relegation battle, with Roberto De Zerbi vowing to fight until the final minute. Matthys Tel scored a brilliant opener but later connected with an overhead kick that struck Ethan Ampadu instead of the ball.
Barcelona's Title Triumph and Real Madrid's Turmoil
Sid Lowe joins the podcast to analyze Barcelona's La Liga-clinching victory in El Clásico and the unfolding chaos at Real Madrid. Reports of training ground fights, a petition signed by 70 million people demanding Kylian Mbappé's signing, and speculation about José Mourinho's potential return to steady the ship dominate the discussion.
