E82: Dani Alves back at Barcelona to obey Xavi's new rules (Patreon)

It may be an international break but Sam, Rik and Toni have plenty to get their teeth into on this week's pod. Spain, led by Gavi but without the injured Ansu Fati and Pedri, have qualified for the 2022 World Cup after wins against Greece and Sweden. In bigger news, Dani Alves is back at Barça! The Brazilian, now 38, has signed until the end of the season. The pod also reflects on Xavi Hernandez's first week as Barça's boss.

Running order:

-- Gavi continues to star for Spain
-- How many Barça players in Qatar? 
-- Assessing Alves' return  
-- Where will Alves play? 
-- Xavi's fragrance, Xavi's rules
-- Xavi's first games
-- Azpilicueta targetted

We'll be back this week on Patreon to reflect on Alves' presentation on Wednesday as part of a special Q&A for subscribers.
