The boys review all the wild offseason happenings at the Blaugrana, with the Catalan side somehow finding over $100 million in the mattress to spend on Raphinha and Lewandowski, despite not even playing all their current players their salaries. Payton is over the moon about his new Polish striker (1:16), but discusses whether De Jong is being forced out, and what the Lewandowski signing means for the team going forward. Mark yells about the awful marketing for La Liga (20:08), and the yawning gap in spending power between mid-table Premier League sides and La Liga sides. Plus - we look ahead to the first El Clasico of the year  (28:16) and we pick the lineups, scores, and much more!

Which of your venerable hosts predicted their games right more often to start the season?  Who will win "The Shooter McGavin" Award??? You must know, and you can only find out by listening to the latest episode of El Clasico Podcastico.

Join your humble hosts with jaws agape as they stare in awe at perhaps the greatest goalkeeping clinic ever put on, by a giant Belgian man, as Real down heavy favorites Liverpool. The boys delve into the strange scenes that led to a 36 minute delay of kickoff (08:36), before breaking down the game itself (12:58), including each successive, impossible save by the keeper that would not let his team lose, and how on earth Real conjured this season's performance after supposedly being past their best (53:34). Your hosts also wonder how Mo Salah must be feeling after a tireless performance, and wonder why a miserable-looking Sadio Mane had to attend Liverpool's already-planned victory parade.
