Summary

Musa and Ryan begin with a very quick shout-out for some results in the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A (00:30), before being joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor (09:00). They discuss St. Pauli’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, which all but sealed the title for Bayern; Xabi Alonso’s future; whether he will stay at Leverkusen or head to Madrid; and whether this season may have been slightly underrated from a Leverkusen perspective. There’s also talk about the draw from St. Pauli’s point of view, increasing their chances of staying up in what has been a brilliant season back in the Bundesliga so far (38:50). Hosts: Ryan Hunn and Musa Okwonga Guest: Seb Stafford-Bloor Producer: Ryan Hunn Additional Production: Patris Gordon Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
