    E373: Xavi beats Luis Enrique in Paris in the Barça DNA battle

    E373: Xavi beats Luis Enrique in Paris in the Barça DNA battle

    Raphinha scored twice on a memorable European night for Barcelona as Xavi Hernández's side recorded an impressive and significant 3-2 win over Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg on Wednesday. The two teams meet again in Montjuic on Tuesday.
    Sam and Rik look back at a game which saw good performances from several Barça players. They ask if this was the biggest win of the Xavi era? Barça's best European away day in almost a decade? They also discuss the impact of Raphinha, Ousmane Dembele, Pedri's return from injury and much more.
    NOTE: With Toni travelling back from the game in Paris, he and and Sam will record a bonus pod for Patreons on Friday on his experience in the French capital.

The best

I love this pod, it’s the best one I’ve found in English. I like that they mix in a bunch of different talking points about the team (not just talking game strategy or reviewing matches). I was impressed by their recent discussion about racism and I liked the other hosts calling out Toni for his questionable (maybe shortsighted/ignorant) takes on the matter, I don’t know of any other podcast that would have had such an open and honest discussion on this topic. Bravo lads! Keep it up and stay positivó!

Always a good listen

I have really enjoyed this podcast. Look forward to it every week. They provide a great mix of viewpoints as well as good insight into the team and club. Big fan!!

Tony is part of the racism issue

I like this podcast. Tony’s defense of the Spanish football racism problem shows that he’s part of the problem. “Methinks he protest too much.”
