On this episode of the Managing Madrid Podcast, Kiyan Sobhani, Om Arvind, and Matt Wiltse discuss:
- The insanely dirty football that went unpunished in the tie against Inter in ‘86
- The versatility of all of the Quinta del Buitre players
- Weird things from 80s broadcast
- Hugo Sanchez’s athletic ability, and overall ‘completeness’ as a striker
- Emilio Butragueño’s genius with and without the ball
- You can’t understand the greatness of players through numbers alone (duh — but a deeper discussion)
- Gallego was a really good defensive midfielder
- Chendo’s versatility and ability to cover lots of ground
- Michel’s line-breaking ability
- Rapid fire:
- Championship on the line, who do you choose to take your free-kick?
- Which goalie would you rely on to save it?
- Build a team to beat Jose Mourinho’s 11/12 side.
- Who is the third best player since 1990?
