After shouting out the only place to begin, Musa and Ryan chat about Manchester City’s trip to Anfield (06:56), where they defeated Liverpool, in the first game back since their guilty verdict was announced. The focus isn’t much on the game itself, but more on the reaction at and around the game, the weirdness it uncovered for the Premier League season and what it might mean going forward.
In part two, they move onto Freiburg being top of the Bundesliga (34:49), after Bayern and Dortmund both dropped points on the weekend, as well as the amazing job Julian Schuster has done since succeeding the great Christian Streich. There’s also a bit of La Liga chat, most notably the drama in Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Villarreal, plus lots more.
