  • Matchday 19 recap: The one with the first goalie goal in 10 years

    In this episode of La Liga Lowdown, host Euan McTear (@emctear) and co. look back at the eight fixtures that took place in this midweek round. It was a unique round, purely for the fact that Eibar goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović scored a penalty against Jan Oblak. We hear commentary from that, while Alex Brotherton (@alex_brotherton) also brings the best clips from the wild Cádiz vs Levante draw.


    There’s an interview with Elche fan Keith Farnan (@Keith_678) about his club’s 12-match winless run and coach Jorge Almirón’s problems, as well as a discussion with Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) about Valencia’s latest setback. Plus, Rob Hextall (@robhextall) explains why this is such a big week for Alavés.
