Buckle up—this week on The Liberal Playmaker, it’s chaos and drama across Europe. Real Madrid pulled off a heist in broad daylight against Athletic Club (and I’m still trying to figure out what Athletic was even trying to do tactically). Barcelona said “not today” to Celta Vigo with a classic remontada. Napoli came alive, McTominay turned into prime Ronaldo (just the heading part), and Inter Milan got Bologna’d—complete with a stoppage-time scissor kick from Orsolini that deserves its own Marvel origin story. And just when you thought we were done, we Drift Offside into the world of politics, because finally people are finding their soccer balls.

Champions League Wednesday exploded with heavyweight clashes—Real Madrid v Arsenal had us on the edge, Inter v Bayern felt like a war of attrition. But let’s be real… the main course was Manchester United serving up pure chaotic theater against Lyon in the Europa League. One minute they’re bottling it, the next they’re snatching victory from the jaws of collapse. Absolute madness.
Then we set our sights on the weekend—La Liga’s heating up, Serie A’s got title drama, and the Bundesliga never sleeps.

This week on The Liberal Playmaker, we dive into a wild weekend across Europe — La Liga twists, Serie A shocks, and Bundesliga brilliance. Then it’s all eyes on the Champions League: we break down Tuesday’s results and preview the high-stakes clashes coming on Wednesday.

In our Offside segment, we switch gears to politics — Trump’s tariffs are back (maybe?), and Jose breaks it all down with a Friends twist: are they on again or off again? Plus, a look at the recent Supreme Court ruling involving a man who was mistakenly deported — and what it says about justice in America.

Champions League drama? Say less. Real Madrid got Arsenaled, Barça turned into prime 2011 mode, Inter put Bayern on ice like a soft drink, and PSG made Villa look like tourists. I also try to make sense of Manchester United doing Manchester United things (again), and I preview the weekend games across Europe because sleep is for the offseason. Tap in, laugh a little, learn a lot.
