E229: A Clasico Supercopa final... and Xavi's first trophy as Barca boss? (Patreon)

Sam and Rik in Barcelona are joined by Toni in Riyadh to discuss Barça's penalty shootout win against Real Betis in the Spanish Supercopa on Sunday. Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati's goals were cancelled out by Nabil Fekir and Loren Moron to set the stage for Marc-Andre ter Stegen to be the hero. 

The German goalkeeper saved penalties from Juanmi and William Carvalho as Barça set up a Supercopa final against Real Madrid, who also needed penalties to beat Valencia on Wednesday. 

The pod also discuss the atmosphere out in Saudi Arabia, where Toni is reporting on Barça and the thirst for the Supercopa to be played there given the low (ish) crowds for the semifinals. 

And the pod could not end without a small mention of Shakira's new song about Gerard Pique and his new partner, some unsavoury words from an old Barça executive about Lionel Messi and a look at Barça's legal case (or lack there of) against LaLiga.
