On today’s episode, Patrick and Hayden dive into Real Madrid’s growing crisis as Xabi Alonso hangs onto his job despite another loss. Are Madrid simply uncoachable at this point? And if Alonso goes… who could realistically manage them?

Then we shift to the Champions League, breaking down the race for the top eight, why January’s fixtures will be absolute chaos, and which big clubs might be staring at the playoff round.

Finally, we look at Ayyoub Bouaddi, the 18-year-old Lille midfielder linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG. What kind of player is he? How high is his ceiling? And which club actually makes the most sense?
