I almost didn't do this show and just did another condensed version of a super European show because it was also difficult to do the Bundesliga show and Serie A for pretty much the same reasons.

But I decided to separate those shows and I'm here away in Thailand.

I have nothing but time.

I'm just relaxing.

I'm actually busier when I'm in the UK.

I'm far busier when I travel to the US when you have things to do with your kid like

theme parks and whatnot so I am just sitting around sitting around by a pool going to beaches and whatnot so there is absolutely no excuse to condense the content other than the fact that these games are being are very difficult to handicap so it is somewhat forced even getting to four but it would have been even worse had there been five six or seven European games on this slate and

One of them just gets on automatically because of the significance of it.

Talking about Atletico Madrid versus Barcelona.

Obviously, this has big implications at the top of the table.

Atletico trying to make sure they get back in the Champions League.

Barcelona trying to win the league and stay ahead of Real Madrid.

And Real Madrid, of course, wanting a favour from their Madrid rivals here in Atletico.

These two teams play again in the Champions League in midweek.

So three of their next four games are going to be against each other.

So that's an insane situation and it all begins on Saturday night at the Wanda with Barca travelling to the Wanda to face Atletico where they are.

The 65 favourites to win the game.

It's 3-1 on the draw and it's 2-1 here on Atletico Madrid.

I feel that this will be the game that delivers goals.

I think the Champions League matches may be a little bit more cagey.
