What moments stood out in football this week?
The Athletic FC. Totally Football Show, European edition. Today, Clasico wins these Barcelona crowned Spanish champions. For beating Real Madrid, the only top of the table interest is how Valverde ended up needing stitches. We look back on the game and a week that put the real mad into Real Madrid. Plus, check up on Serie A, a 3-2 free-for-all in the top four this weekend. We've got word on the bun fight at the bottom of the Bundesliga. And French talk too.
How did Barcelona secure their La Liga title against Real Madrid?
It's all coming up in this Totally Football Show.
It's Tuesday, the 12th of May.
We've got a very international edition for you of this totally football show. I'm in Naples. James Horncastle is in Oslo. Hello, James. Hello. He's also on the clock. So let's make this snappy with your hellos, Tom Williams and Paul Balloose. Tom, you're in London.
Hello. Yes, I'm in London.
Excellent. And Paul, you're in Catalonia. I am. I am in Barcelona. Hello, everyone. Wow. Got loads to talk about with you, Paul, with the Clasico and the crazy situation in Madrid. Looking forward to your roundup, Tom, of what's been going on in France.
What challenges is Real Madrid facing after their Clasico defeat?
James, you're going to be covering Syria and also the German roundup because no Seb, he's in Turkey this week. But first off, let's have a moment of the week. Tom.
I'm going to go for Lens Nantes on Friday night. Had some spectacular Friday night games in Ligue 1 in recent weeks. This was not a spectacular game, but it did contain a spectacular moment. 0-0, 12 minutes to go. Pierre Sage throws on some of his youngsters, including... a 16-year-old Portuguese youth international called Mesi and Mesloub, whose father, Walid, played for Lens. I think Lens have got a throw-in, which they take. Within five seconds, Mesloub has scored to put Lens 1-0 up.
Imagine that the salute comes from this young player, from Mesloub.
How is the Serie A race for the top four shaping up?
Oh, it's incredible. It's the young man of the season.
What is the latest on PSG's title race and their upcoming match?
It's been four seconds since he came back. Mesloub, first time he comes back, he arrives in this group.
Scenes of hysteria. It ends up being the only goal of the game. It is the result that confirms Lens' qualification for the Champions League. Incredible achievement for a club with such a relatively small budget. New coach in Pierre Sage, a lot of new players, etc, etc.
What is happening in the Bundesliga's fight for survival?
Also confirmed Lens' relegation. And potentially, in young Mesdian Mesloub, a new star was born. Magnificent.
I loved Londres' celebration of their place in the Champions League again. They did that Simpsons homage. Beautifully done.
Yes, they started doing that, I think, last summer to announce new signings. Every time they signed a new player, there was a new version of the Simpsons opening credits. And so they, yeah, they all went out again to celebrate Champions League qualification.
They can use that one of Homer disappearing into the hedge when they crash out in the league phase. Choose your Simpsons meme. Paul?
Yeah, from my side, it's been difficult not to choose last Thursday and what happened with Valverde-Tromany. But we're going to speak about that later. So I'm going to stay on the weekend. And we're going to go on. It was Sunday night at the Ludegas, one of the most famous nightclubs in Barcelona. And I don't know if you're aware of that. But just the image of Joao Laporta entering into that nightclub after winning, of course, the league title with Barcelona. I think it was 2 a.m. in the night or in the morning, depending on how you want to say it. Were you there, Paul? I wasn't there. No, no, no. I couldn't be there. I couldn't be there for logistical reasons.
He was at a different nightclub. That's why he couldn't make it.
Yeah, I'm not going to disclose any further information. Okay. But just the image of, like, Joan Laporte walking in, in a sort of guard of honor of savage people just chanting his name. And then inside the nightclub, he's basically playing Barca songs from the DJ set with a cigarette in his hand, just... fist bumping like yeah just celebrating and shouting and everything and all the nightclub just cheering his name yeah it happens in Barcelona and it happens when John Laporta
