Real Madrid returned to winning ways at the weekend when they beat Levante 2-0 but the Bernabeu crowd singled out Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde for boos and whistles as they continued to express their displeasure at Xabi Alonso's sacking. Gary And Alex react to the scenes in Madrid and the challenges facing new manager Alvaro Arbeloa. Barcelona's nine-game winning streak came to an end with defeat at Real Sociedad in an incident-packed game featuring disallowed goals, overturned penalties, and a brilliant performance from La Real's goalkeeper. This result means Barca are only one point ahead of Real Madrid at the top of La Liga, but there was some positive news for Marcus Rashford as he got himself on the scoresheet. Finally, we look at Villarreal's fading hopes of muscling their way into the title race after defeat at an improving Real Betis and there's a look at Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sorloth proving some of his doubters wrong with a superb winning goal against Alaves.

Habría que ver cuántas veces los ciudadanos periodistas han pedido, qué digo pedido, cuántas veces han exigido que se de una oportunidad a los jugadores de la cantera del Real Madrid. Seguramente, tantas como han puesto de ejemplo al Barcelona y La Masía, ejemplo que hay que seguir cuando se trata de los canteranos de un equipo. Pues ahora resulta que no, que ayer no era el día, que antes de dar el salto tienen que demostrar que valen. Y aún más, porque a Xabi Alonso y Mbappe se les sacudió de lo lindo porque el francés jugó en Talavera, y ayer recibieron palos el futbolista y Arbeloa por no estar en Albacete.

Dave Davis turns his focus to the wider picture as Liverpool's transfer narrative becomes dominated by future planning rather than present action. Yan Diomande's Anfield ambition, Marc Guehi's City links, Harvey Elliott's stalled situation and Johnny Heitinga's move elsewhere all feed into a growing feeling of missed opportunity. The cut also explores Charlie Cresswell as a market play, Darwin Núñez's attempts to return to Europe and the looming managerial uncertainty with Xabi Alonso back in circulation. As January drags on, Dave asks whether Liverpool are deliberately standing still or simply losing control of the narrative. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Note: In classic Tottenham fashion, they've announced two new staff hires immediately after we stopped recording. Jack is joined by the Athletic's James Maw to discuss the signing of Conor Gallagher. While some fans remain unconvinced, we discuss the definite positives he brings to the midfield and why he might be exactly what this side needs. Conversation moves to the ownership's wider strategy. Does the decision to shift Brennan Johnson, combined with paying the necessary fee to land Gallagher, signal a genuine change in how the club conducts itself? We also acknowledge the departure of Fabio Paratici and discuss Aston Villa's strange desperation to carve out a rivalry with Tottenham. James then answers your listener questions, including whether he would take Xabi Alonso as manager, and if a return for Mauricio Pochettino would actually be good for the club.

On today's episode, Patrick and Neel start with covering AFCON.

In this episode of The Arsenal Opinion, Pete and Jacob break down a frantic but entertaining victory over Portsmouth. They discuss why the chaotic nature of cup games is often more enjoyable than the tactical rigidity of top tier Premier League fixtures and praise the fresh energy brought by the rotated squad. The conversation takes a brief detour to La Liga to analyze the exit of Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid. The hosts debate whether player power has gone too far and if modern superstars like Mbappe and Vinicius Jr are becoming unmanageable for even the world's best coaches. Back in North London, the focus shifts to individual performances with some contrasting takes. Jacob argues that Ethan Nwaneri looked like a seasoned midfielder against Portsmouth and makes the case for him to keep his place for the upcoming Chelsea clash. Pete dives into the worrying data surrounding Viktor Gyökeres and questions if the club missed a massive marginal gain by not signing a striker who better fits the system. The boys also share their relief at the return of Kai Havertz and discuss how his presence instantly balances the attack. Additional topics include the struggles of summer signings Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke to find consistent output, the specific chemistry between Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, and a full preview of the lineup dilemmas facing Mikel Arteta for the League Cup semi final.
