What will the WSL be like without Hayes?

Will Man City's slip up cost them the title?

Sophie Penney is with Katie Whyatt and Jessy Parker Humphreys to discuss a whirlwind week for the WSL title race. Chelsea thought they were out of contention after losing to Liverpool but leaders Manchester City lost to Arsenal in stoppage time and Chelsea scored 8 past Bristol City, meaning it will go down to the last day of the season. How did City concede two goals in three minutes? Will that lose them the title? And was Emma Hayes playing mind games in her post-match comments? Plus, as Barcelona win the Liga F title, Laia Cervello Herrero tells us how they’ve built one of the best teams in Europe despite no domestic competition and how far off second place Real Madrid are from the Catalans.

Such a value add for those who are interested in women’s soccer and who are looking for coverage outside of the U.S. Great discussions and great reporting. Thank you to The Athletic for prioritizing this.

One of the best traditional media fútbol/soccer shows. As someone who’s new to following the sport, The Athletic’s global coverage of women’s soccer is one of my go-to’s.
