Nico Cantor and Phil Kitromilides break down the remarkable return of Real Oviedo to LaLiga for the first time in over two decades. Phil walks us through the club’s turbulent journey - from the brink of financial collapse to a dramatic promotion campaign that’s reignited the passion of Asturias. Then, Guillem Balagué joins the show to reflect on Oviedo’s unique place in Spanish football, the emotional power of their fanbase, and what makes this newly-promoted side so easy to root for.
