Join Ben Sully (@SullyBen) and Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) to review the retro-inspired LaLiga matchday 31.

In part one, they cover the title race, which is turning out to be more of a runaway after Madrid dropped points against Girona while Barça managed to succeed in the Catalan derby with a 4-1 win. They then turn to the relegation battle, which is heating up, after most of the bottom sides achieved positive results. They first look at Elche’s home win against a receding Valencia and Sevilla’s victory against an Atlético de Madrid packed with subs, with the UCL & Copa del Rey in mind.

They continue into part two with Muriqi’s record-breaking goals for a very convincing win against Rayo. They also review the crazy goal fest between Real Sociedad and Alavés, Real Oviedo's thrashing of Celta and all the other fixtures from the weekend.

La Liga is back! Join Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) and Harry Gillies as they review the latest round of fixtures from Spain’s top flight.

Is the title race over? As Real Madrid lost in Mallorca, and Barcelona snatched a 2-1 win away at Atleti, the Catalan giants now have a seven point lead over Los Blancos. We discuss if the two Madrid clubs will now turn all of their attention to the Champions League, something Simeone seemed to suggest against Barça, leaving Julián Alvarez and Ademola Lookman on the bench.

The league winner might be a certainty, but the race for the European places is gets more exciting with every week. We discuss the parallels between Real Betis and Celta, as both clubs are fighting for the same goals. Celta deployed some beautiful football away in Valencia, showing once again the fearless play style of Claudio Giráldez. Real Sociedad and Getafe have also greatly impressed and are well in the hunt to qualify for Europe.

As for the bottom of the table, we discuss the stark reality for Sevilla fans that the seven-time Europa League winners get relegated, with Mallorca and Alavés putting in better performances in the fight against the drop. We also spare a thought for Real Oviedo, where it might be a case of too little too late for the Asturian side.

And as always, thanks for listening and subscribing!

The international break is on, so we gathered Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) and Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) to review Spain's latest 3-0 win against Serbia.

A friendly game where Spain didn't really face too much opposition and Luis de la Fuente got the chance to try things and give newcomers, like Victor Muñoz, a chance to shine. He also sent a clear message by starting Unai Simón ahead of the other in-form goalkeepers...

Matt & Román also pick their favourites to challenge Spain in their ambition of winning the World Cup and take some time to talk about Raphinha's injury which will keep him away for a while, missing both UCL matches vs Atleti, and potentially a UCL semifinal.
