Summary
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).
