Podcasts about Barcelona

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to look back on Wednesday's 0-0 draw at home to Sporting, a result which sees us qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second year in a row. We chat about some of things Arsenal did and didn't do in the wake of Saturday's defeat to Bournemouth, with focus first on a forward line that has some fundamental limitations that hamper our ability to play the kind of attacking football we'd like. As well as that, we discuss the way we controlled the game in the second half, leaning on the areas of the pitch where we do have top class talent, and how we restricted the opposition to just one shot on target all night. There are some interesting comments from Declan Rice about how the players feel about progression in this competition, parallels with some other European campaigns, and spotlight on how we're the only English team left in the Champions League after everyone else, and giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona fell by the wayside to set up a fascinating clash with Atletico Madrid in the next round.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!If you can donate the April fundraiser, the link is here - https://www.justgiving.com/page/avp2026Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

We saw some thrilling football in the Champions League this week and it was mostly from Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, PSG and Barcelona so why do the English teams look so sluggish by comparison? Or does Arsenal's safe passage to the semi-finals and six-point lead at the top of the Premier League prove that Arteta's conservative approach is still paying off? Liverpool are out of the Champions League and looking at a season of relative failure, what now for Arne Slot and will they have to spend big in the summer again? And what about the big game on Sunday - will a victory for Manchester City prove fatal to the Gunners' title hopes? The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Did Arne Slot let Liverpool down as the Premier League champions were knocked out by PSG at Anfield? Or did the Reds show positive signs for the future with a much more energetic and competitive performance than in last week's first leg in Paris?Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock, ex-Premier League winger Andros Townsend and French football journalist Julien Laurens join Ian Dennis and Kelly Cates to dissect a thrilling night of Champions League action.As well as Liverpool's 2-0 defeat to PSG (4-0 on aggregate), Atletico Madrid progressed with a memorable victory over Barcelona, 3-2 on aggregate.Atleti will now play the winner of Arsenal v Sporting, with the panel previewing Wednesday night's game alongside commentator John Murray.And we hear reaction from England Lionesses' 1-0 victory over Spain.Timecodes: 02:20 Where has this Liverpool energy been all season? 03:20 Was this about PSG's individual quality? 04:14 Julien Laurens calls Arne Slot's line-up a “complete nonsense” — should Alexander Isak have started? 07:45 Are Liverpool carrying players in their team?

Real Madrid were booed off at the Bernabéu on Friday night, and not for the first time this season, after they failed to beat Girona in a 1-1 draw. Gary and Alex look at what this latest setback means for Alvaro Arbeloa's chances of remaining in charge next season, and whether they have any hope of going to Munich and overturning the 2-1 deficit against Bayern. Barcelona went nine points clear at the top after a 4-1 win over Espanyol, with Hansi Flick taking no chances and playing Lamine Yamal and Pedri for 90 minutes despite the Champions League second leg with Atletico Madrid to come in the week. Will Barca have enough firepower to score the three they need or will that leaky defence prove costly in the Metropolitano?

¡QUE RUEDE LA PELOTA!

“Globalization has revived tribalism. Instead of destroying local cultures, as the left predicted, it has made them stronger. Far from the triumph of capitalism that the right predicted, it has entrenched corruption.” — Franklin Foer How do Osama Bin Laden and Barron Trump explain the world? According to Franklin Foer — senior writer at The Atlantic and author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization — they're both (or were, in the case of Bin Laden), like Foer himself, rootless Arsenal fans. That's the irony of our simultaneously tribal and globalized world. The more rootless we become, the sharper our imagined identities. Thus the DC-based Foer, who showed up for this interview flaunting his Gooner gear, never misses an Arsenal game on tv, even though he grew up almost four thousand miles west of Highbury. Foer's 2004 classic has been reissued with a new preface in honor of the World Cup. As he notes, this upcoming MAGA spectacle will only underline the tribal-global nature of the world. On the one hand, Trump wants to emulate Mussolini (1934) and Putin (2018) in transforming the sporting event into a celebration of localism. On the other hand, the expansion of the tournament into 48 teams mirrors the increasingly international reality of today's world. And then there's the distant but delicious possibility of an Iran-USA final. In 2022 in Qatar, the Iranian players refused to sing the national anthem in the opening game to protest the killing of a young woman who wasn't wearing a headscarf. Foer argues that the national team represents an idea of Iran quite foreign from that of the theocracy. While the anti-MAGA Foer wouldn't support Iran against the USA, he does argue that one of the great failures of the American left has been its inability to speak the language of patriotism. So Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom should wave the flag this summer. Whose flag he doesn't say. Probably the Arsenal if the global Foer had his tribal North London way. Five Takeaways •       Globalization Is a Form of Tribalism: Thomas Friedman said countries with McDonald's don't go to war with each other. Foer's book said the opposite: globalization doesn't dissolve tribal identity, it sharpens it. Barcelona can have Dutch DNA from Cruyff and a Qatari airline on the jersey — it's still a symbol of Catalan nationalism. The cosmopolitan elites who predicted the melting of national borders were themselves a tribe that mistook its tribal identity for universal truth. Andrew's formulation: globalization is a form of tribalism. Foer, cautiously, agrees. •       Trump's Bread and Circuses: Trump has identified three spectacles as the tent poles of his presidency: the 250th anniversary celebration of the United States, the Olympics, and the World Cup — which he calls the biggest spectacle of his term. Every strongman in history has understood the distracting quality of a spectacle. Putin sat in Moscow in 2018, ominously presiding. Mussolini had 1934. Trump won't be a passive participant. The expanded tournament was, Foer says, a greedy error — the early rounds will be poor — and the whole thing will unfold under the shadow of a president who wants to cosplay as president of the planet. •       The Financialization of Fandom: When Foer wrote the book in 2002, the transfer market was a big deal but not the phenomenon it is now. Fans have been forced to become conversant in the balance sheets of their clubs, getting upset when the club overpays. There's something sad about that — your relationship to a team has been financialized. Meanwhile, the Premier League jacks up ticket prices every year, people complain, and the stadiums are still full. The new power centres in the game are Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds using soccer as reputation laundering and soft power, and American private equity with its arrogant belief that it can do better than whoever was there before. •       The Iranian Team and the True Carriers of Civilization: In the last World Cup, Iranian players refused to sing the national anthem as protest against a government that had just killed a young woman for not wearing a headscarf. They were pressured to sing in the next game. The diaspora was divided. Foer's argument: the Iranian national team represents an idea of Iran entirely divorced from the theocracy — a spirit of nationhood, not religion. When Trump talked about destroying Iranian civilization, he was discouraging the people who consider themselves its true carriers and the regime's real opponents. Foer thinks it would be genuinely good if Iran could come and play in this World Cup. •       The Left's Patriotism Failure: Foer's parting argument: one of the great failures of the left in its quest for cosmopolitan ideals has been its inability to speak the language of patriotism. Even if the impulses behind progressive ideas could be described as patriotic, that's been one of the things limiting their political appeal. Should Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom wave the flag this summer at the World Cup? Foer says yes. Andrew, a Spurs fan born in North London who has lived in the United States for decades, suggests he would be “amused” if Iran beat America in the final. They do not reach agreement. About the Guest Franklin Foer is a senior writer at The Atlantic and the author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization (reissued 2026 with a new preface), The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future, and World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech.

Un legado cultural que sigue muy vigente en nuestros días y que continúa activo gracias a los aventureros de la actualidad, a quienes la Sociedad Geográfica Española reconoce con sus premios anuales. La Sociedad Geográfica Española es una asociación sin ánimo de lucro que, fundada en 1997 y declarada de utilidad pública, se dedica con absoluta pasión a revitalizar la geografía, el viaje, la aventura y la exploración del planeta, así como a la difusión del saber científico y la conciencia medioambiental.

Su entrega se ha convertido en una cita imprescindible en la vida cultural madrileña. Entrevistamos al presidente de la Sociedad Geográfica Española, Juan Ignacio Entrecanales. 'La necesidad de amar' Entrevistamos su autor, Pablo Álvarez, que ha obtenido el Premio Azorín de Novela 2026 con este libro, con el que debuta como como escritor tras 35 años trabajando como agente literario y editor. Una trama que, ubicada entre Roma y Barcelona durante los años 80, aborda los anhelos de una generación que, destinada a ser libre, se despertó casi de golpe sabiendo que el pasado siempre deja cicatrices. Su protagonista, el joven Martí Rocamora viaja a Roma en el verano de 1987 para escribir una novela sobre Beatrice Cenci, una aristócrata del Renacimiento convertida en símbolo trágico de la belleza femenina, el deseo y la rebeldía ante el poder. Durante su investigación, Martí conocerá a una pareja que lo iniciará en una pasión sin reglas. Seducido por la excentricidad de sus nuevos amigos y deslumbrado por la bohemia de las fiestas palaciegas, irá descubriendo la febril necesidad que tiene de sentirse amado. Todo ello hace que afloren miedos, secretos y culpas que lo obligan a replantear su viaje y sus objetivos.

Gaslit Nation presents an Instagram Live discussion recorded over the weekend with the acclaimed illustrator Brahm Revel, the artist of Mrs. Orwell. Brahm is based in Barcelona, where Eileen and Eric Blair (aka George Orwell), spent their honeymoon fighting fascists in the Spanish Civil War. Eileen was holed up in the Hotel Continental, which still exists, where Stalin's agents searched her hotel room, stealing Orwell's Spain diaries and other papers, which are believed to be somewhere in Moscow to this day. We're celebrating freedom fighters, past and present, tonight at Powerhouse Arena in DUMBO, Brooklyn at 7pm ET, for the launch of Mrs. Orwell. Patreon supporters get in free! Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman will be there, and so will the good folks of Razom for Ukraine and the Media and Democracy Project, co-sponsors of the event, because the Orwells would have been fans. So come and get a Mrs. Orwell tote bag, meet other Gaslit Nation listeners, and celebrate the defeat of Orban, MAGA, and the Kremlin in Hungary.  Enjoy this conversation with Brahm about the creative process that went into the making of Mrs. Orwell and why the story matters for us today, in an age that needs our own creativity and defiance.

Catherine, David and Matt are here to look back on the first Sinner-Alcaraz match of the 2026 season. Part one - Monte Carlo (00:00 - 30:59). We discuss Jannik Sinner's victory over Carlos Alcaraz in the final and how it sets up their rivalry and the clay court season ahead. In what way did Sinner cope best with the windy conditions? How much confidence will he take from his? And how might Alcaraz respond? There's also chat about the gap between them and the rest of the field after Sinner's comprehensive win over Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals as well as a final word on Valentin Vacherot's incredible run. Part two - Linz and BJK Cup (31:00 - 59:29). Lilli Tagger's run may have stopped in the quarter-finals, but the fun continued in Linz as Anastasia Potapova made it all the way to the final, only to lose to Mirra Andreeva. Just how impressive was that win for Andreeva? What's the significance of her doing it without Conchita Martinez in her box? And how do we look back on the first edition of Linz on indoor clay? In the BJK Cup, we cover Great Britain's shock win in Australia, USA's defeat to Belgium, a compelling comeback from the Czechs to beat Switzerland, and a devastating day for Bianca Andreescu and Canada. Part three (59:30 - 1:21:01) - Preview and predictions for the week ahead which sees Alcaraz go to Barcelona and Iga Swiatek return in Stuttgart.

What makes soccer more than just a sport? In this episode of The Gametime Guru, I have the chance to chat with Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization, to explore how soccer reflects culture, identity, politics, religion, class, and globalization across the world. From the tribal nature of fandom to the deeper meaning behind clubs like Barcelona and Newcastle United, this conversation shows why soccer can reveal so much about the societies that surround it. Franklin shares how his travels and research shaped the book, why soccer became the perfect lens for understanding the modern world, and how the game has evolved over the past two decades. Shane and Franklin also discuss why soccer fandom feels so different in other countries compared to the United States, how the sport is growing in America ahead of the 2026 World Cup, and what readers can learn from looking at sports through a wider cultural lens. This episode covers: Why soccer helps explain globalization The connection between sports, identity, and tribalism The difference between American sports culture and global soccer culture When fandom creates community and when it can turn dark Why clubs can represent far more than just a game How soccer is growing in the United States ahead of the 2026 World Cup If you are a fan of soccer, sports history, world culture, or the deeper meaning behind why people care so passionately about sports, this is an episode you will not want to miss.

La izquierda situada a la izquierda del PSOE vuelve a tantear la unidad en España. El encuentro entre Irene Montero y Gabriel Rufián celebrado este jueves en Barcelona ha reactivado esa posibilidad. Podemos juega lo que parece su última bala. Los batacazos electorales en Aragón y Castilla y León-donde desapareció del mapa institucional sin alcanzar siquiera el 1% de los votos- han obligado al partido a mover ficha. En menos de un mes, la formación ha levantado el veto a Sumar para concurrir juntos a las elecciones andaluzas y ha abierto la puerta a un eventual tándem electoral con Rufián de cara a las generales. Ana Fuentes junto a Paula Chouza, periodista de Política de EL PAÍS, analiza la nueva estrategia del partido morado.

Michael Olise is on a ridiculous run, closing in on Lionel Messi's single-season assist record and forcing a real conversation: is he the best winger in the world right now? We break down what's actually driving his production, whether the Messi comparisons are fair or completely out of control, and what it says about how quickly fans crown “the next Messi.” Plus, PSG just ran through Liverpool, and now questions are getting louder around Arne Slot—is this a system problem, a personnel issue, or something deeper? Then we get into one of the messiest stories in global soccer right now: World Cup ticket chaos. Fans are realizing their tickets might not match what they originally bought, as FIFA continues to adjust seating categories behind the scenes. Is this just modern dynamic pricing… or are fans being sold something that doesn't fully exist yet? We unpack why this feels bigger than just expensive tickets—and what it says about who the World Cup is really for now. And finally, disaster for the USMNT. Patrick Agyemang is out with a torn Achilles, leaving a massive hole in the squad heading toward the World Cup. We talk through how the team replaces his presence, whether anyone is actually ready to step into that role, and what this injury reveals about the depth—and fragility—of this USMNT group at the worst possible time.   Timestamps: (6:30) – Is Michael Olise the best winger in the world?

Barcelona move seven points clear at the top of La Liga after coming from behind to beat Atlético Madrid.
