Musa and Ryan round up some of the results from midweek, including Inter’s slipup to Sassuolo, Napoli's success on the pitch despite the noise off it, Girona at the top of La Liga and some great EFL Cup results and goals (03:05). Then, following reports last week that the Premier League is considering introducing a new Sunday evening televised match time, they discuss whether there is potential for the U.K.’s 3 p.m. blackout—conceived in the 1960s—to reform or evolve (22:37). Plus, the pros, cons and concerns about any potential solutions.

Could the Premier League's 3 p.m. Blackout Be Reformed?

Join Ryan Hunn and Musa Okwonga, two long-time friends, every Monday and Thursday as they cover all the major European football leagues, and a lot more.

Sports

Musa and Ryan run through the Premier League midweek games (Aston Villa’s Champions League qualification will be saved for tomorrow’s 'Wrighty’s House'!). They begin with Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Newcastle United at Old Trafford (02:25), Chelsea's victory over Brighton to climb into sixth (11:32) and Manchester City’s win at Spurs, which resulted in an existential Ange (16:25). They then move on to Juventus’s Coppa Italia win (36:37), before wrapping up on a bit of chat about how FIFA is open to overseas domestic matches and the vote put forward by Wolves to scrap VAR in the Premier League.

Penultimate Premier League Games and Juventus's Coppa Italia

Musa and Ryan were on Wrighty’s House with Ian, talking about Arsenal’s win over Manchester United and the rest of the Premier League, so they turn their focus elsewhere here. They begin with a roundup, shouting out Bologna Champions League's qualification, among some other results from Serie A, LaLiga, and more (01:40). Then, it’s a Bundesliga bonanza! Seb Stafford-Bloor was at the Millerntor to witness St. Pauli’s promotion to the top flight and joins to talk about that (07:57), Holstein Kiel’s first ever promotion to the Bundesliga, Leverkusen, and the top flight relegation battle. Then, before Seb goes, he gives us his take on the Spurs’ game against Manchester and Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge (34:49).

Bundesliga, Baby!

Real Madrid will head to Wembley to face Borussia Dortmund in search of their 15th European Cup. Musa and Ryan chat about their dramatic, late win over Bayern at the Bernabéu, thanks to two Joselu goals (01:01). They also talk about the key moments, the impact of both Carlo Ancelotti and Thomas Tuchel’s substitutions, as well as a controversial late offside goal that could have sent the tie to extra time. Finally, they wrap up on what might be next for Tuchel and Bayern, as well as praise for Ancelotti.

Dortmund Are Going to Wembley

It’s a quick Sunday morning record for Musa and Ryan this week and they begin by shouting out Ipswich, who secured back-to-back promotions and will return to the Premier League next year (00:51). They then turn their attention to Real Madrid, who won La Liga thanks to a 3-0 win over Cadiz (03:37). There’s talk about Barcelona’s defeat to Girona, plus a few results from the Bundesliga (24:30), before heading to the Premier League (26:55), where wins for Arsenal and Manchester City means it’s as you were at the top of the table.
