The Totally Football Show with James Richardson · Barca win La Liga in El Clasico - Mourinho to the rescue for Real? · 12 May 2026 podcast

I'm saying Real Madrid, when Real Madrid were already losing 2-0.

So basically he couldn't even bother just to post it before the game or something like this.

And all the Madrid fans were like, mate, you're still like having a laugh.
