Two Defeats, Still Top, and a Long Road Back

Two losses in five days. Paris, then the Clásico. This week, Remi Dixon, former president of the San Francisco Penya, joins the show, and together they break down exactly what went wrong. Mourinho packed the midfield, waited for Rodri and Pedri to give it away, and they did, 26 times between them. They conceded six goals in five days, three after the 80th minute. Cucurella shadowed Lamine all night, held him to five shots with none on target, and the Spanish press called it his worst performance in a Barça shirt. And with Xavi Espart out for seven weeks, Flick said it straight. We have run out of options at the back. We are still top. But there are real questions that need real answers.
