Spain’s football season has reached BOILING POINT! A league Clásico to come – but first, a winner-takes-all BATTLE for the Copa.

But Barça’s bench is depleted by injuries. And Hansi Flick’s men have Inter to worry about too. Can Ancelotti SAVE HIS SKIN (and avoid CHAOS in Madrid) at La Cartuja??

Here’s what Pete and I think….

Carlo Ancelotti is STRUGGLING: that’s not news.

But, as the sharks circle Real Madrid’s manager, there’s been a BOMBSHELL ANNOUNCEMENT from Bayer Leverkusen’s CEO, that will leave Florentino Pérez with some SERIOUS THINKING to do.

Socios! Pete and I sat down to discuss the future of Los Blancos’ throne. But what do YOU think? Carlo, or Xabi? Or somebody …

Did we just watch Carlo Ancelotti’s FINAL MATCH with Real Madrid in the Champions League?! I really hope not. The competition’s most successful manager CANNOT bow out like that.

But, Real have a LOT to learn. Martinelli and Saka tracked back FAR more than Rodrygo or Vinicius did – and Kylian Mbappé MUST take note of Mikel Merino’s industry and work ethic.

Barry Ferguson will no doubt be worried about Athletic Club’s resurgence, after they BREEZED past Rayo on Matchday 31. Sancet is back, Nico is back – Rangers fans are in for a barnstormer on Thursday.

Elsewhere, the title race is heating up. Real saw the red mist (and the card), while Barça squeaked past Leganés thanks to an unlikely hero….

An INTENSE 90 minutes – but Barcelona were able to cruise through.

It’s been six seasons since their humiliation at Anfield, but Barça are finally back in the driving seat. With Raphina on cruise control and Lewandowski firing, the Blaugrana are on a collision course with European glory.

Socios! Here’s how it happened….

10 years ago, Madrid beat Liverpool in the battle for Martin Ødegaard, but Carlo Ancelotti called the signing 'a publicity stunt'. He’s already returned to haunt them once while on loan at Real Sociedad. Will Arsenal’s No.8 use his past frustrations as fuel when the European champions visit North London tonight?

This week, I focus on two teams who will play in the UK this week. Athletic Club got a 0-0 that helps their season-long aims and welcomed back their top gun - but their best player is way off the pace. The champions, meanwhile, had a shocker. But in the Champions League? It’s usually a different Madrid.

I’m including in this video a clip from a post-match interview with Jan Oblak after Atlético Madrid’s latest La Liga disaster, a 1-1 draw against Espanyol. He sounds jaded, without answers and not much more hope of rescuing a campaign that has spiralled out of control.

Here’s what I think is at stake for this great club and the iconic head coach who has…

Fede Valverde is one of my favourite footballers - here’s a record of my day as I travelled to Madrid to interview him for UEFA. But before that… did you watch the Frying Pan Derby? It was red-hot and had all the ingredients for a classic, including a splash of Antony, whose life after Manchester United just seems to get better and better.

For the women’s team, that means a Champions League semi-final against Chelsea. For the men, a three-point edge in La Liga.
