The best

Best Real Madrid podcast there is. One of the best football podcasts in general. Very interactive with listeners and fun to listen to.

Pure utter garbage

This is one of the worst podcast I have ever heard. Horrendous host that have no idea of what they report. They sound like little children that don’t know how to edit shows. Please get this crap off here

Gcb123445555 ,

Hosts annoy me.

Tried listening through a few episodes, couldn’t make it more than 10 mins in each episode. Love Madrid, but these hosts can be quite annoying over analyzing everything.
