What led to the chaos at Real Madrid this season?
He's obviously scoring the goals, winning football matches for them when he does play and plays well. But I still don't think that many Madridistas like him very much.
I think they need someone with a big, big personality. And who has a big, big personality? Jose Mourinho.
I've just been watching a programme on TV here. They were saying, Les flops de la saison. And they were talking about La Liga. And Dean Howson was one of the three flops of the season.
I just said to him as I was walking on the plane, I went, thank the fuck for that. This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before the action starts, a word from Fuse, who makes switching energy supplies easy. To celebrate big moves, we're testing Alan and Micah on the legends of the transfer window.
Which Premier League club holds the record for the all-time highest spend transfer window? We know that. We've done that on the pod before. It is Liverpool. I'll go City then. Micah is correct. Of course I'm correct. How much did they spend? And obviously it was last summer. Yes. How much? It was like £460 million. £425 million. You're pretty much in the middle. £446.5 million.
And where... You know... And they're not even in the league.
How is Jose Mourinho viewed as a potential solution for Real Madrid?

Hello and welcome to the Restless Football La Liga with Alex Aljo and me, Gary Lineker. Well, the season is all over. We already knew Barcelona were going to win the league and a few things going on at the bottom of the table, but we thought we'd just kind of have a reflective view on the season as a whole.
Yeah, wow, what a season. First season of the rest is football. La Liga is over. Barcelona are champions. Real Madrid eight points behind in second. Villarreal third. Atletico finish in fourth place. Real Betis take the fifth Champions League spot, while Celta Vigo and Real Sociedad have qualified for the Europa League. And Getafe... will play in the Conference League. Relegation as well. That was so exciting, wasn't it? It went right down to the wire. In the end, 19th up to 13th place, separated by just two points. Girona, Mallorca, the clubs who will join Real Oviedo in the Segunda next season. Mallorca went down by virtue of their inferior head-to-head record with Osasuna and Levante. So that's something they do differently in La Liga.
Indeed, yeah.
And Eric, one last final thought from Eric, by the way, because he'll throw this in at the end. I just asked him to give Atletico Madrid's season a rating out of 10.
What did he give them, Eric?
What are the implications of the upcoming presidential election for Real Madrid?
And guess what he gave it? Six.
What do you think? I think six.
He gave them five. Five. Which I actually thought was pretty positive, Eric.
He's the only finalist of the Europa League and a Champions League spot. He's hard to please, Eric, isn't he?
He's very hard to please. Anyway, all good. We look forward to his thoughts next season.
One of us predicted he would win the league and the other didn't.
I think I said my heart says Real Madrid and my head says Barcelona, I think. We'll have to look back to the first episode, but I'm pretty sure I said that.
You might well have done, but that's like saying you could have used that now if Real Madrid had won. the other way around.
True. True. It was a win-win, wasn't it?
Or a lose-lose.
I knew what I was doing.
Whichever way you want to look at it. yeah, overall, I don't know, I suppose it was, it was quite interesting. There was, you know, There were times where there was, you know, Ailega and then Nilega and then Ailega. But Real Madrid fell away quite badly. I think we should probably start with Real Madrid because they seem a bit chaotic at present. And the whole situation now is who the coach is going to be. And there's a lot of talk about Mourinho.
How did the absence of Real Madrid players in the Spain squad impact fans?
And then apparently there was... a kind of presidential election in which Perez wasn't as assured to win as normal.
