Summary
Ryan desperately wanted to do three hours on the Copa del Rey final, which he was at, so there will be a Patreon show on Wednesday all about Real Sociedad’s first trophy in front of fans since 1987.
However, Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 at the Etihad on Sunday, so he and Musa focus their attention there for much of today’s show. There’s chat about what was a wonderful game, where both sides could feel lucky and unlucky on certain refereeing decisions, as well as lucky and unlucky on how certain chances fell.
There were obvious positives for Manchester City, who closed the gap to three points and who can go top if they beat Burnley this week. But, despite the understandable disappointment, there were many positives to take for Arsenal, who will be frustrated about not stealing a point at the end.
After that, there’s some round-ups and shout outs for the rest of the Premier League, plus Bayern winning the Bundesliga and more!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Stadio podcast. |
| 0:24.7 | I'm Rousa Kwanga. |
| 0:25.6 | I'm Ryan Hunt. |
| 0:28.2 | I hesitate to ask how you doing? |
| 0:29.7 | I'm doing great, man. |
| 0:31.7 | I'm doing really, really great. |
| 0:33.4 | I had a very, very genuinely wonderful, probably top five all-time live footballing moment on the weekend. |
| 0:41.5 | I don't think we mentioned it on the show last Monday, but we mentioned it on the Patreon show on Thursday, |
| 0:45.9 | but I was at the Copperdale Ray final on Saturday. |
| 0:48.5 | Which looked incredible. |
| 0:50.3 | It was honestly good for the soul. |
| 0:56.3 | Just incredible. |
| 0:57.7 | We're going to talk about it a little bit today. |
| 1:00.7 | Actually, what talk about a bit before we get into the other stuff, before we get into the admin. |
| 1:07.3 | Can you just give us like a sense of it, like just wondering up, what was it like just to wander up there? For people who want to listen to more about the Kopadal Ray, we're going to do it as a show on Patreon. So we're going to do three shows this week, two on Patreon. The next one on Patreon will go up Wednesday and it's going to be really, really focused on the Kopadal Ray final because it was a massive deal for El Sosididad anyway. And the game itself was kind of incredible. |
| 1:30.7 | Yeah, I want to talk more about the experience and stuff like that. So we're going to do that as a |
| 1:34.2 | separate show because otherwise I think today's show would have been about three hours long and |
| 1:37.6 | unfortunately you have to run for a train. But yeah, I mean, to be honest, it was quite last minute because I wasn't sure if I was |
| 1:45.7 | going to get accreditation or not so I managed to get in Saturday lunchtime was kind of in the |
| 1:52.1 | Atletti part of town accidentally it turned out a few blocks away in one of the squares was |
| 1:56.9 | where most of the atletti fans were congregating and so I actually walked up to the stadium pretty much with all of the Atleti fans. But then I walked back with the Real Sosidad fans, so it was quite a nice. Amazing. Yeah, one thing I will say, because it was really, really lovely, and it stuck in my head, and I don't want to forget mention it, I don't want to forget to mention it. so I think I'll mention it now, but on the way out, so I was walking with all the Ralph Sosidav fans out at the stadium. |
| 2:20.8 | Just one athletic team, forget mention, I don't want to forget to mention it, so I think I'll mention it now, but on the way out, so I was walking with all the Real Sosidav fans out at the stadium, just one Atletti fan, old guy, say probably like late 70s, maybe early 80s even, in his Atlette's shirt and he's stood there, clearly waiting for someone or whatever, he was fine, like, but all of the real Sosidav fans were walking past and he was he basically just like congratulating them all. |
