La Liga Lowdown

La Cartuja: Spain's Forgotten Stadium

There was no football to recap this weekend, with Spain and the world of Spanish football hit hard by the Coronavirus this past week.

So, in this special episode, host Euan McTear (@emctear) is joined by Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) and by Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) to lay out a timeline of the Coronavirus impacting Spanish football, to discuss the games and leagues that have been postponed, to reflect on the way it has brought people together on their balconies and to ask the big question: Who out of Román or Paco has the most rolls of toilet paper stored away? We hope you’ll join us to reflect on one of the most unique and strangest weeks in the history of Spanish football.&nbsp; For information regarding your data privacy, visit <a href="https://www.acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a>

The lowdown on Spanish football and the Coronavirus

Real Betis hadn't won any of their previous seven matches... so of course they went out and defeated the league leaders Real Madrid. In this episode we discuss Real Betis and their unpredictability with Radio Betis' David Whitworth (@DCWh1tw0rth). That result means Barcelona are leaders again and we analyse their win over Real Sociedad with Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee). There's also a recap of Atlético Madrid and Sevilla's unusual draw with Sam Leveridge (@samleveridge), a moment of relief from Mallorca-based Alex Fitzpatrick (@Mallorcalex100) after the islanders got their first away win, a look at Valencia's latest disappointing away result with Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) and some all-Basque Copa del Rey final chat with Dan Parry (@DanParry_). It's all hosted by Euan McTear (@emctear), along with some commentary clips from Cadena Cope.

Matchday 27 recap: You can't bet on Betis!

One of the most shocking stories in the history of Spanish football is the Butcher of Bilbao story. This was the nickname that was given to Athletic Club defender Andoni Goikoetxea, who broke Diego Maradona's leg, snapping it like a piece of wood as the Argentine would later describe it. This wasn't the only incident to this story, though. As Román de Arquer (@Aeroslavee) explains in this podcast, there was a brewing rivalry between Athletic Club and Barcelona at that time. Paco Polit (@pacopolitENG) then details the many incidents that took place in matches between these teams between 1981 and 1984. In part two of this podcast, Matt Clark (@MattClark_08) explains what happened to Maradona next and Dan Parry (@DanParry_) reflects on Goikoetxea's legacy.
