Musa and Ryan reflect on the midweek Carabao Cup action, which included wins for Manchester United and Spurs (3:54). Everton continue to impress, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring another hat trick and Everton Women progressing to the FA Cup Final (15:24). Next, they discuss Landon Donovan’s San Diego Loyal walking off the pitch against Phoenix Rising, after an opponent allegedly directed a homophobic slur at Collin Martin, just a week after another Loyal player was the target of a racial slur (23:47). There’s chat about Bayern’s win against Dortmund in the German Super Cup and more praise for Joshua Kimmich and Bibiana Steinhaus, who announced she is stepping back from refereeing in Germany (28:36). There’s a quick round-up of the midweek La Liga action (40:03) and finally, a lot of love for Inter and, of course, Atalanta, off the backs of big wins for both sides in Serie A (44:57).
