MARCA's Eye on LaLiga

It was a memorable final for a number of reasons and the cold hard facts are that Real Madrid are once again Champions League victors and that no one can match their 13 European Cups.

A 3-1 win over Liverpool did the job in Kiev and MARCA English’s Eye on LaLiga podcast review every key incident with Marc Mayo and David Schiavone.

It is the final show of the season so a big thank you to everyone who has listened to the show in 2017/18 and we hope to join you again after the summer!

Real Madrid’s meeting with Liverpool in the Champions League final is the clash of two heavyweight attacking sides that fans were dreaming of, and MARCA English’s official podcast is here to analyse where the game will be won and lost.

Will the Reds’ inexperience deny them the trophy? Can Los Blancos rectify their porous defence on the night? Will Zinedine Zidane’s awe inspiring winning power get his side over the line once again?

Previewing all that and more are Marc Mayo and Euan McTear on this penultimate episode of Eye on LaLiga for the 2017/18 campaign.

It has been a rather unique LaLiga campaign; a near-complete unbeaten run, a ponderous title defence, a selection of overachieving minnows, and a drab final day.

Putting it all together and wrapping it in a neat bow are Marc Mayo and Euan McTear, reviewing the 2017/18 season for MARCA English’s official podcast, focusing on where the title was won and lost over the last nine months.

The guys also select their unsung heroes team of the season and glance towards how next year may unfold.

A lively game on the east coast saw Barcelona’s dreams of an unbeaten LaLiga season crumble to dust and Eye on LaLiga is here to understand exactly what went wrong with the Catalans so close to an unprecedented achievement.

Marc Mayo and Jason Pettigrove analyse what this means for this Barcelona side’s legacy and more in this week’s show, also touching base with Real Madrid and their selection dilemma ahead of the Champions League final.

In focus is the Europa League final ahead of Wednesday’s clash between Atletico Madrid and Marseille in Lyon.
