Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1500961/open_sms] Barcelona warmed up for this week's Champions League trip to Benfica with a Sunday stroll against Real Sociedad at the Olympic Stadium. It was one way traffic once La Real were reduced to 10 men in the first half, with Gerard Martín, Marc Casadó, Ronald Araújo and Robert Lewandowski helping themselves to goals in a 4-0 win. Sam, Rik and Tonu discuss the win, Hansi Flick's faith in Martín and the one unknown ahead of that Benfica game on Wednesday in Lisbon: who will partner Pedri in midfield? To finish, the pod respond to the unanswered questions from last week's Q&A. SP!

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1500961/open_sms] F--- off, Barça are top of LaLiga? Weren't they seven points behind two weeks ago? Sam and Toni lead the podcast this week as Barcelona beat Rayo Vallecano 1-0 to return to the top of LaLiga... and there are still 14 games to go. Hansi Flick's side took advantage of Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid slip ups on a weekend which saw English swearing become the big talking point in Spain. Rik, in Budapest, also chimes in with his ratings, but first Sam and Toni discuss Jude Bellingham's language, Barça's narrow win (of champions!?), Jules Kounde's tardiness and whether Marc Casadó has done anything wrong. We're back on Thursday on Patreon ranking Barça's best left-backs in the next part of the series which sees us build the best Barça XI of our lifetimes. Until then, SP!
