Real Deal Pods: La Liga Roundtable Ft. Ruairidh Barlow

On the latest episode of the Real Deal (the analysis segment of the Managing Madrid podcast) Siddharth Ramsundar is joined by Ruairidh Barlow, the editor of Football Espana, to go over the state of La Liga. Besides previewing the title race, this episode focuses on all the other teams in the league. Check it out for a more detailed look at teams outside the top 3: Are Atletico for real? Mallorca under Arrasate Osasuna without Arrasate Real Sociedad under Alguacil What’s going on with Nico Williams at Bilbao? Michel still doing a good job with Girona Marcelino back at Villarreal Getafe, Valencia, Rayo Vallecano and more. We also ponder whether La Liga matches up to the Premier League with the large gap in budgets, using Andoni Iraola’s time at Bournemouth as an example of what midtable Spanish coaches can do with more money.
