Rudiger Heads Madrid into 1st, Barcelona Squeak Las Palmas

El Clásico Podcastico: a Barcelona and Real Madrid podcast

Mark and Payton couldn't wait to get you their reactions from the first La Liga football following the festive break, with a couple of close wins for the clasico sides. Mark extolls the virtues of Real Madrid's self-proclaimed madman, Antonio Rudiger, as he headed home all three points for the capital club in Vini's long awaited return (30:33), and Payton gives us the full rundown of Barcelona's faults as they escape somehow with a stoppage time win over Las Palmas (6:15). Plus, the boys are frothing at the mouth for some Copa Del Rey weekend action, as Barcelona take on 4th tier Barbastro at their 5,000 seat capacity stadium (39:40), and Mark awaits Arda Guler's debut as Real Madrid take on tiny Arandina on Saturday (46:57).
