Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
From 30 for 30 podcasts. Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami, gunned down. The key to this case, it's Brian. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing with somebody. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. Being placed under arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
Welcome into the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined by Craig Burley and Stevie Nicholl. We'll be talking Carabao Cup a little bit later on, but we'll kick things off in La Liga. Real Madrid taking on Atletico Madrid, and what a match it turned out to be. Atleti would have the lead going into the half because Lukman would score after 33 minutes to give the visitors the advantage.
Vinicius Junior, though, would then pounce with a penalty. Valverde, four minutes later... making it 2-1. Molina would score an absolute belter to make it 2-2. Soon after that, though, Vini would get the third to give Real Madrid the victory. Valverde controversially sent off late on, but in the end, Real Madrid get the win to keep themselves very much on the coattails of Barcelona.
For more on this, let's welcome in Joey Luis Garcia at the Santiago Bernabeu. Luis, in the end, a thoroughly entertaining game.
Yeah, very entertaining. I think that we've seen even the two halves were actually exciting because we've seen goals in both halves. I think that the second one, it was even more to see Real Madrid making that reaction from the very beginning. We were expecting changes, but they arrived later on because Real Madrid already made the comeback with a 2-1 win. These kind of games are always...
really defined by the small details and the small mistakes. And today, I think that Atletico Madrid made the most. Even though the chances were on both sides, that both teams had options to win the game, I think that Real Madrid managed better the tempo of the game.
The second half, it was all about making the combat, even when they needed to make another reaction after Molina's goal that got us all by surprise. They managed to get the third one to win the game after Valverde sent off.
Real Madrid showed what we've seen, a lot better team and solid at the back, more compact and more balanced, something that I think that I've always been working very much in the last month, a month and a half.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of Real Madrid's derby win over Atletico Madrid?
And yeah, exciting for both sides and Real Madrid needed to do this, needed to win the three points and they made it. A pity for Atletico Madrid that have their options, but in the end it was Real Madrid with those three points getting closer to Barcelona once again.
Different team second half, wasn't it? Well, yeah, a different team, but aided and abetted by an Atleti side who came out after half-time and gifted two opportunities. The Hanko challenge was needless, so that's the first one. Vinicius scores the penalty. And then there's a really bad back pass into Fedor Valverde, who takes advantage of it. You've still got to take advantage of it. He did.
But Stevie mentioned he got the lock. The Jimenez challenge is weak in the box. Now, I know it's a tricky situation when players are running at you, you don't want to give a penalty away, but it's not a particularly strong challenge. And again, Paddy Valverde takes advantage of it. So from a good position, all of a sudden, a couple of mistakes, you're 2-1 down. Now you're chasing your tail.
Yeah, you get back in the game with a great goal from Molina. But again, you don't shut down the key men in key areas, which they didn't. So they've made three mistakes at the back. Atleti, and got punished for it. You know, the penalty, the back pass, and then when Alexander-Arnold comes forward, as Stevie said in the highlights, there's no real pressure on Vinicius Junior, and he bags it.
This starts it all. There's no absolute need to throw yourself in there. It makes no sense to commit to anything. Just get your body in the way. So what do we say at half-time? You want a response from... Real Madrid, he has the pass. Straight into Valverde, he spots it.

Chapter 3: How did Real Madrid respond after going behind in the match?
It's not actually a challenge from him. He's trying to play a pass. He's trying to play a pass to one of his teammates. And listen, Valverde, he's the man at the moment, isn't he?
Chapter 4: What were the key moments that led to Real Madrid's victory?
He's getting forward, he's making great runs, he's getting on the end of things, his finishing has been top draw. You give these players
opportunities and they're going to take it and that's what real madrid did we talk about at halftime inspiring the crowd well atleti allowed real madrid to inspire the crowd because they made mistakes real took full advantage of it and the crowd got behind them and that's why it was such a good second half and to that point luis it was interesting also when molina scored you kind of thought
You could just feel it, and I'm sure obviously you could at the stadium. The fact that everyone just kind of went, uh-oh, you know, this is trouble now because we have to win this tie. But the response and the character that we saw from Real Madrid, obviously Vinicius Junior scoring so soon after that, has given, I'm sure, them more hope when it looks at the title race as a whole.
Yeah, exactly, because the atmosphere went down. You could see that it was very quiet when Molina scored that second one. And I thought that at that stage, both teams kind of looked at each other and said, OK, let's give it a rest to this breakdown on going in transition from one side to the other side. Let's reorganize all together.
But it was Atletico Madrid making that mistake, and I totally agree with Craig. If you start giving one, two options, three options, maybe another team, OK, you can get away with it. But against Real Madrid, you know that you have to be 100% no mistakes and waiting for Real Madrid to don't have the day. You have the option of going ahead. You have the option to equalize the game.
So you make sure at the Bernabeu that you don't leave spaces, that you don't leave probably the most important player
on the field that is vinicius junior in transition or valverde without no mark without a space to run and against a player who is not used to defend that he was um alex by nine that second half so um too many mistakes too many options to real madrid that of course when they play at the bernabeu
they're going to take them and it was that third goal who actually when we saw this like this is even with Valverde going out you could see that Real Madrid was ready to keep those three points whatever it was needed and the reaction with also with Arbeloa bringing on Carreras on the left side, putting Frank Garcia on the left side too to try to keep it tight and together.
So in the end, I think that Real Madrid did what they have to do. They managed to come back in a very difficult situation right after the second half when you might expect Atletico Madrid to be very compact and difficult to break down because that's what Simeone does the best. But in the end, too many options for them and they took them very well.

Chapter 5: What was the analysis of Arsenal's performance in the Carabao Cup final?
That should be going in the back of the net, he makes himself big but it's a poor attempt. Big chance here for Rafinha, he does it all himself, wins the ball and then you'd expect him to score from here.
Chapter 6: What mistakes did Arsenal make that contributed to their loss?
Yeah, overplaying out of the back I think. He wants to get it on his left foot but he's got a bit of pressure coming from that side. That's his problem. He wants to shuffle it across on his left. He scoffs it a bit on the right, doesn't he? Laminia Ma wanted a penalty here, nothing was given. He's gone down, isn't he?
Chapter 7: How did Manchester City's strategy impact their win over Arsenal?
He's looking for it. Here we go. No, absolutely not a penalty. Watch, he pulls his leg over here, watch. There you go. Yep, nothing was given. The officials got that one right. Luminio Mal, with this outside of the book ball, finds Rafinha. Yeah, he lobs it a little bit, so it's not easy, that finish.
Although we have seen him do some very good things in the last couple of years, but that was a difficult chance for him. Barca, though, from the resulting corner, would get the opener. Arauco with the start. Yeah, good leap. Feats his defender. Glancing header. Nobody on the back post. And off the post, good header. I mean, it's a mismatch, isn't it, for back post?
Goalkeeper scrambling across his six-yard box, can't get there. Rafinha once again involved. The opportunity here. Keeper makes a brilliant save. Yeah, you watch him, he's heading over to his left and he takes this deflection. Throws the big paw up. Robbo said he went early. Firmin Lopez here with a challenge just on the edge of the box. Nothing is given.
I thought that one could have been, you know. Slow Mo's making it worse. I don't know. You know, if you can't make your mind up, you can't give up. 1-0 then at the break. Alvaro Garcia denied here by Garcia. Garcia again. Great reactions. Good header at the near post. He's got to be Spain's number one. I know Unai Simon still. He has been sensational this season.
And that high line caught here once again. And once again, Garcia. Big enough and he puts it wide. That's ridiculous. Look at that. Absolutely ridiculous. Now from here, this has to be in the back of the net, and instead he's fallen back before he even kicks the ball. Barca are hanging on a bit. They were far from their best in this tie. Garcia with another stop here.
This one's relatively comfortable. Who got Man of the Match here, by the way? You can't see it. The high line. Oh my goodness. Frustration then from Rave Cano as they felt that Barcelona were there for beating but in the end it's the hosts who get all three points. Once again a big thanks to their goalkeeper. Here's Hansi Flick on Garcia.
This is good because this is why we bought him. That he's on the goal and so we have a clean sheet. It was an easy answer, but I know how important he is, how also his performance today was. It's unbelievable. And also happy for him that he got a call-up from the national team. I think he deserved it, really.
Absolutely flying since they've moved back to the camp now. 14 games, 14 wins. Not bad at all. Steve, I imagine when you had your run in Liverpool, five league titles, there were games like this. Just get it done. Get across the line. Maybe not with you, but with Ronnie Moran. You've just turned the page, haven't you? Not that many. I mean, listen. You're brilliant in every game. No, no, no.
But... You can have games where, for some reason, your back line just doesn't work and you give opportunities away and your goalie plays great and you come off and you get three points. But the amount of times that this happens to Barca, the amount of opportunities they give the opposition because of that.

It's the middle of the night in a small town on the Jersey Shore. Someone reports an abandoned car on a bridge. A search gets underway for the missing driver, 19-year-old Sarah Stern. Is it a missing person? Is it a suicide? At this point, nobody knows. Old friendships, buried cash, and a sinister plot that was once pitched as a movie plays out in real life.
I'm Juju Chang from 2020 and ABC Audio. Listen now to Bridge of Lies, wherever you get your podcasts.
this year's winners of the Carabao Cup after defeating Arsenal 2-0. Arsenal will start the better of the two sides. Good save from Trafford early on but Arsenal faded as Manchester City took control. A mistake from Kepa who was in goal ahead of Rea would gift City the opener.
O'Reilly making it 1-0 then just moments later it's O'Reilly once again who would get the second as Manchester City are crowned champions. Big discussion is about whether or not Arteta should have started Kepa. Here's the Arsenal coach.
I understand that but I have to do what I feel is right, which is honest and which is fair and I think we have an understanding keeper on Kepa. He's played all the competition and I think it would have been very, very unfair for him and for the team to do something different.
