Stadio: A Football Podcast

It was the Stadio derby this weekend, with Manchester United beating Arsenal in the league at the Emirates for the first time since 2017.
Musa and Ryan chat about a game that continued the good vibes around Michael Carrick's appointment, following up last week’s Manchester derby victory, thanks to two unbelievable goals from Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha (03:27). They also look at it from the Arsenal perspective, their attacking issues and the differences between the recent league and cup performances.
It meant Aston Villa and Manchester City closed the gap to their wins, so there’s chat about those games as well as the rest of the results (32:11), including a late winner for Bournemouth over Liverpool, another West Ham win and more as the Premier League grind continues.
Then it’s off to Europe (53:32), where Bayern lost for the first time in the Bundesliga this season thanks to a 1-2 defeat to Augsburg, Inter opened up a gap in Serie A, PSG went top of Ligue 1 and wins for Barcelona, Real Madrid and much more!

Senegal are winners of the AFCON for the second time!
Musa and Ryan begin with one of the most dramatic and astonishing international finals of all-time, which saw Senegal beat hosts Morocco in extra-time in a game that saw incredible drama and an amazing winning goal (03:24).
They then move on to Manchester United’s 2-0 win over City in Saturday’s derby (27:29), as well as Michael Carrick’s appointment as head coach until the end of the season. There's discussion about the reaction to the appointment, how free United looked against City, whether this is a sign of things to come or if this is another example of something fans have seen before.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have had a horrid week or so (56:35). There's chat about Oliver Glasner announcing his departure, his post match interview that caused tension following the defeat to Sunderland, Marc Guéhi’s move to Manchester City and what Palace do now.
There’s also round-up of the rest of the Premier League, whistles at the Bernabéu and much more!

Some clichés are clichés for a reason and, this weekend, the magic of the FA cup truly lived up to it.
But before that, Musa and Ryan begin episode 600 (!!!) with a round-up of the Bundesliga’s return (02:59), the AFCON quarter-finals (06:23), Inter and Napoli’s 2-2 draw (10:53), plus Barcelona’s win over Real Madrid in the Supercopa de España.
Then, it’s onto the FA Cup third round, starting with Macclesfield’s incredible win to knock holders Crystal Palace out (15:35), plus some other key results, Manchester United’s defeat to Brighton and some flowers for Danny Welbeck (26:38). Then, there’s a bit of a conversation about the FA Cup’s continued revival in an ever increasing football calendar.

Well, not exactly a quiet start to the year. After Enzo Maresca left Chelsea last week, Ruben Amorim was then sacked by Manchester United on Monday.

During that conversation, there’s also a detour onto Maresca (19:103), before rounding up the the rest of the Premier League (35:22), La Liga, Serie A, Wilfried Nancy’s sacking at Celtic and much more.
