Champions League Final Preview from Wembley

In our latest podcast episode, hosted by Hridyam Arora and Sam Sharpe, we talk about Castilla’s season in a nutshell, how important it is for a squad rebuild, Raul’s legacy as a coach, and the main reason for Castilla’s dormancy. Here is a sneak peek of what we talk about:
Would this season be considered a success or a failure for the team and Raul?
Judging by the quality this year’s Castilla side boast, would a 10th-placed finish really be considered a success, or is there work ahead for Raul and the boys?
Who stays at Castilla next season?
There are a lot of players who should leave either because they are too good, or they are not good enough, and there are a lot of players who fall into that category.
What is next for Raul?
Raul has, frankly, stayed for a very long time at the club. He has done a phenomenal job at Real Madrid Castilla, and it is understandable to see why he would not want to leave, but is that reason really enough?
The importance of signing new players immediately
We discuss the importance of external talent, not just for Castilla, but for Real Madrid as an entire club. Why is it so important?
Discussing who to keep, and why to keep them
There are players like Manuel Angel who have just had their first year at Castilla, and with a bit more of experience under their belt, they will start to truly blossom as players. Who is on the short, short list of players to keep?
Where is reinforcement needed?
We talk about the positions where Castilla need to sign players before anything else.
And a lot more.
