The Overlap

Barcelona and Real Madrid continue to underwhelm against good opposition this past weekend in La Liga, so, of course, we have to give them a ton of flack. Also, not so quietly, Real Sociedad are on a tear at the top of La Liga.

Disclaimer: We started recording this right after learning the news that Diego Maradona has passed away. We spend the first few minutes talking about the legend himself.

For any Spurs fans listening to this, please don't be incessantly pushing the narrative that Spurs are going to win the league. Yes, there's a chance, but let's take it easy. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Liverpool continue their strong form while Arsenal need to sort it out. Oh, we don't even know what to think of Manchester United at this point.

We're celebrating the fact that there are no more international breaks with a little preview of the Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona game on Saturday evening as well as City vs Spurs on Saturday afternoon. We also spend a few minutes talking about the Spain vs Germany result and the USMNT's recent success. Oh, and we also have a special guest joining us for the City vs Spurs preview.

Hint: he is one of the 4 Manchester City fans that live outside of Manchester AND he's genetically responsible for Rheon's terrible eyesight.

In a normal world (that just feels funny to type at this point), maybe Real Madrid or Barcelona would be top of the table in La Liga at this point, but that is pretty far from the truth. Real Sociedad and Villarreal continue to impress, while Real Madrid stutter near the top and Barcelona stay relatively inconsistent.

We've gone back and forth in the last few weeks about who could challenge Liverpool for the title and we may be coming to a consensus. Also, Southampton and Aston Villa continue to impress while Leeds and Arsenal...well, not so much.

Rheon and I give up. We have no idea who's going to win the Premier League this season. The season is back to being drunk.

Between an El Clasico loss, the sacking of Bartomeu, and a dominant performance away at Juventus, it's been a WEEK for Barcelona fans. Real Madrid fans look away in horror after another poor result in the Champions League this week while Atleti is probably feeling pretty good about themselves right about now. We cover it all in this week's La Liga episode!

After relatively calm weekend in the Premier League, for two teams it was almost...too calm. The most boring game in Europe combined with a less than outlandish array of results proved to be shockingly...sobering.

Three out of the four top teams in La Liga lost this weekend. And even the team that won looked abysmal. So, is there even a top team in La Liga? We also preview this weekend's El Clasico match up!

The Premier League is drunk. And, honestly, at this point, so are we. We go over Pickford's horrendous challenge, the worst team in London (read: still Tottenham), and Aston Villa's come up in this week's pod.
