Hola!We posted this episode ahead of Real Madrid v Liverpool in the Champions League final in May 2022 - but we thought it'd be worth a repost after he picked up the Ballon d'Or last night. Myself and Pete discuss where Karim Benzema lands in the pantheon of Madrid forwards. Benzema hit 45 goals in 44 games last season – but how does he compare with Ronaldos 7 & 9, Raul or the forwards who made this trophy the property of Madrid in its early years?EnjoyG Hosted on Acast.

I caught up with Víctor Sánchez del Amo in Madrid, the city in which he enjoyed a miraculous first big season as a two-footed winger for Real. Via a training-ground revolution, Fabio Capello instilled a unity of purpose and suddenly Los Blancos were La Liga champions.The methods of the next short-lived boss, Jupp Heynckes, met with dressing-room resistance and league form collapsed. Yet it was that season in which Real ended their 32-year wait to be European champions. You could not make it up.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.

Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Ossie Ardiles from season five.Ossie was a truly magical midfielder, who played for his hometown side Instituto de Córdoba while both doing his military service and attending university. The fact that he didn’t have time for politics may have saved his life – many of his fellow students were ‘disappeared’ during the darkest period of Argentina’s history.There’s also amazing content about playing through injury to win the 1978 World Cup under legendary coach César Luis Menotti.And we hear about life at Tottenham when war broke out between the UK and Argentina in 1982.  Hosted on Acast.
