In this episode of It’s Called Soccer, Rebecca Lowe, Gary Neville, and Jamie Carragher break down a huge weekend of football, from Arsenal’s title setback to Liverpool’s dominant run and Real Madrid’s Champions League ambitions!
We kick things off with Arsenal’s shock defeat to West Ham—was this the moment their title dreams ended? Jamie and Gary debate whether Arteta deserves criticism for failing to sign a striker and if Arsenal fans will turn on the club after another near miss.
Next, Liverpool are flying under Arne Slot, but will they be unstoppable in the Premier League for years to come? Jamie makes a bold prediction for next season, and we look at what it would mean for the Reds to match Manchester United’s record 20 league titles. Plus, is Mo Salah the best player in the world right now?
Then, Kevin De Bruyne’s future at Manchester City is in doubt—has his time at the top officially come to an end? Gary and Jamie debate whether we’re seeing the last days of City’s greatest-ever player.
Finally, Real Madrid look unplayable right now, and with Mbappé finding form, are they now Champions League favorites? Plus, Luka Modric is still bossing midfield at 39—is he the greatest Madrid midfielder of all time?
And before we go, we let the MLS randomizer pick teams for Gary, Jamie, and Rebecca—who are they backing in Major League Soccer this season?
