Managing Madrid Podcast: Disaster in Cataluña

There’s just no way to sugarcoat this one, folks. It’s a complete disaster for Real Madrid, as they’ve lost 5-1 to Barcelona in the Camp Nou. Gabe and Om work to pick up the pieces of the Lopetegui era.

Some topics:

• The first half disaster--is it tactical, motivational, or both?
• Lopetegui’s situational cowardice.
• Critical abandonment of the press-and-posess formula for milquetoast crap.
• Can anyone be salvaged from this performance?
• What does the immediate future look for this Real Madrid side?
• What happened inn the second half, when Madrid looked to counter-punch?
• Madrid’s inability to bury chances as the dominating narrative of the era.
• Where to place blame--and whether to look to place blame in one place.
• Nuance and Managing Madrid.
• We don’t have some sort of agenda, come on, we’re just as upset about this as you are.
