Eye on LaLiga: Barcelona’s Galacticos and Valencia’s 21st century heroes
There are certain parallels that can be drawn between 2017/18 and 2003/04 as Eye on LaLiga looks at how Barcelona are strolling clear this season, just as Valencia did back then.
Rafa Benitez’s star turns are remembered in the final part of this week’s show, Marc Mayo being joined by Euan McTear to discuss how Real Madrid’s failed experiments with local youth may have helped both past and present table toppers along the way.
Also on the podcast agenda is the January transfer window as Philippe Coutinho adds to the sense of this Barcelona team being something of a Galacticos-esque selection.
