Join Ryan Hunn and Musa Okwonga, two long-time friends, every Monday and Thursday as they cover all the major European football leagues, and a lot more.

Stadio: A Football Podcast

Musa and Ryan begin with a quick shout for LA Galaxy’s first MLS Cups in 10 years, after their 2-1 win over New York Red Bulls on the weekend, before heading to Europe, where there are title races aplenty. They begin in Italy (4:14), where Atalanta’s 2-1 win over Milan took them top of the table, thanks also to Lazio’s win in Naples—and wonder whether this could be the year for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side to win their first Scudetto. Next up, Atleti are tiptoeing their way to the top (11:30), as they and Real Madrid closed the gap with Barcelona in La Liga, plus a quick shout for the Bundesliga (15:43). Finally, they chat about the Premier League’s stop-start weekend (18:10), when Liverpool sat back and watched a number of their rivals drop points. Chelsea were the only challengers not to do so, winning another chaotic game against Spurs (26:52), this time 4-3. There is also a shout-out for another huge Nottingham Forest result and some chat about the departure of Dan Ashworth as Manchester United sporting director (35:15), after just five months in the role.

Could This Be Atalanta's Year? Plus Spurs Vs. Chelsea Chaos and Dan Ashworth Leaves Man Utd.

They recap some of the biggest games, beginning with Barcelona’s win in Dortmund (7:31) and Juventus’s 2-0 win over Manchester City that puts pressure on Pep Guardiola in the final two match days (14:15). There’s shouts for Arsenal (20:30), Leverkusen scoring the first goal anyone has against Inter this campaign (23:52), plus the brilliant Atalanta and Real Madrid game, before rounding up all the rest of the results!

A Good Champions League Week for Some, but Time Is Running Out for Others

A very happy Musa and a slightly less happy Ryan recap the end of the Manchester derby, where United came from behind late to beat City at the Etihad (04:17). They chat about the positives for United and the negatives for City and explore some more about the Man City drop-off. They wrap up the rest of the Premier League (26:22), which saw some huge results and some managerial sackings, before darting to the Bundesliga and La Liga (39:04) and, ahead of a longer episode on Thursday, discussing whether fatigue is playing a part in the inconsistency around Europe.

The Stadios 2024

What a game it was at Anfield! So, that’s where Musa and Ryan begin this week, diving straight into Liverpool and Manchester United’s 2-2 draw (04:00). There’s chat about the goals, the drama, and how it left the Premier League title race (22:21) following Arsenal’s draw away at Brighton, plus wins for Manchester City and Newcastle United. They then head to Spain, where there was some late Real Madrid madness at Mestalla (27:04), before touching on the Dani Olmo Barcelona news (32:10) and some managerial change at Milan—recorded before their Supercoppa final win over Inter—and Union Berlin.

A Very Entertaining, Cold, Rainy Evening at Anfield

Musa and Ryan begin with a quick chat about Julen Lopetegui being sacked by West Ham and replaced with Graham Potter (01:22), before moving on to this week’s EFL Cup semifinals. They start with Spurs’ 1-0 win over Liverpool (05:27), where Ange Postecoglou and Arne Slot were as unimpressed as the rest of us with the VAR stadium announcement. They then move on to Newcastle’s win at Arsenal (15:24), with a lot of love for Alexander Isak, how Arsenal could really do with a player like him and whether the League Cup or Champions League qualification is more important for Newcastle long term. Finally, there’s shout-outs for Nottingham Forest, Milan’s Supercoppa win, and more.

Lewis-Skelly’s Derby, the Most Spiritually Onside Goal of All Time, and the Premier League Battle

There really is only one place to begin this episode, and it’s with Arminia Bielefeld’s 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen to get through to the DFB-Pokal final for the first time in its history (03:42). Musa and Ryan chat about the third-tier side knocking out the current holders, the fourth Bundesliga side they’ve beaten on their way to the final, and their opponents—Stuttgart—who beat Leipzig 3-1 to head to Berlin. In Spain, it was Real Madrid and Barcelona who progressed to set up a Clásico Copa del Rey final (13:10). Real Madrid served up an eight-goal thriller against Real Sociedad on Tuesday, whereas Barcelona were efficient in their 1-0 win at Atleti on Wednesday. There’s also a quick shout for the cups in Italy and France, before they round up the midweek Premier League games (24:26).
