Episode 16 of Bombazo: The Scandinavian LaLiga Podcast is here, and we kick off with the biggest game of the weekend, Atlético Madrid v FC Barcelona


– With Marc-André Ter Stegen keeping Barcelona in the game for 45 minutes yet again, and Jan Oblak having a ropey season, is the German now the best goalkeeper in the world?

– We discuss whether Diego Simeone's magic may finally be fading as he struggles to get the best out of new players and has even relinquished defensive solidity.


– Lee argues that there's only one man available who could come in and give Atleti the boost needed to win something this season: Zlatan Ibrahimovic. (Alex is less keen).

– We praise the two Basque giants and wonder if this is the best Athletic Club and Real Sociedad have been at the same time since the glory days of the 1980s.

– And finally, Alex details her footballing adventure in sunny Mallorca that included Son Moix, the lower leagues, and meeting a true Spanish football legend.
