Description

Trent Alexander-Arnold starred for Real Madrid as he made his return from injury in the 4-1 win over Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu, a win that saw them go top of La Liga at least temporarily. Gary and Alex look at whether he is finally finding his feet in Madrid, the praise he's getting from Alvaro Arbeloa and what that could mean for his chances of making the world cup squad. Atletico Madrid continue to put their fans through it as they followed up a stunning 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey by meekly surrendering to Rayo Vallecano on Sunday in a 3-0 defeat. Diego Simeone and Jan Oblak were at loggerheads after the game, so we check in on Atleti and look at why their season is so continually up and down.
