Manchester City

Herzlich willkommen zur Episode 334 vom Germangunners Podcast. Am gestrigen Abend gab es eine Niederlage gegen Manchester City in Wembley und damit verbunden den Verlust des ersten Titels. Dabei lieferten wir eine der schlechtesten Halbzeiten der Saison zum schlicht unpassendsten Zeitpunkt ab. Wir fragen uns warum und gehen auf Antwortsuche. Dazu Torwartauswahl, offensive Schwächen und ein Blick auf die Länderspielpause. Wir freuen uns wie immer über Lob, Kritik, Fragen und Anregungen, gerne direkt hier unter diesem Beitrag oder gerne auch per E-Mail. Hier könnt ihr den Podcast direkt downloaden. Hier per Apple Podcasts beziehen oder hier per RSS Feed. Wir sind auch bei Spotify vertreten. Klassisch hört ihr einfach über die Website rein. #COYG Felix&Chris

Rio is joined by Joel Beya and Ste Howson to analyse Arsenal’s defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup Final where they pay particular attention to Mikel Arteta’s decision to stick with number 2 goalkeeper Kepa.Rio reveals why he thought that was a big mistake both tactically and in terms of the mentality it showed. There is a defence of Declan Rice who Rio believes “couldn’t do his job” because of the lack of service and praise for Pep Guardiola’s tactics that may have shown other Premier League opponents how to overcome Arteta’s Arsenal.The trio all believe that Tottenham might be playing their football in the Championship next season and after a frustrating draw with Bournemouth - Ste and Rio lay out what the priorities should be for Manchester United to address in the summer if they are to compete in the Champions League.Rio makes another plea for Danny Welbeck to be picked in the World Cup squad for England and he also reveals the release of an extra special Gabriel Batistuta interview where the Argentinian legend divulges some incredible detail about Rio’s idol - Diego Maradona.

Manchester City lay down a statement, dominating Arsenal to lift the Carabao Cup. With momentum now on their side, can the Citizens hunt down Arsenal and also snatch the Premier League title? Mikel Arteta also finds himself under the spotlight. Should he have trusted his first-choice goalkeeper? Did his team selection, particularly at left back, cost Arsenal? And is this side too cautious when it matters most? Gary, Alan and Micah also break down the weekend’s Premier League fixtures, including Sunderland’s big win in the Tyne-Wear derby. Plus, they dive into Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad and debate the big decision to leave out Trent Alexander-Arnold. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

Newcastle went to the Nou Camp with realistic hopes of reaching the Champions League quarter-finals but in a game that was 2-2 until the stroke of half-time Barcelona went through the gears and ended up embarrassing the Toon Army 7-2 on the night. What did Hansi Flick do at the break to outwit Eddie Howe?

Prognosen im Fussball sind ja immer so eine Sache. Dieses Mal erwischt es Chrisi, der Real Madrid keine Chance gegeben hat im Spiel gegen Manchester City. Da braucht es dann doch "nur" einen Zauberer mit dem Namen Fedrico Valverde. Einer der schönsten Hattricks in der Champions League Historie bringt die Königlichen auf den Weg. Doch ist diese Begegnung schon entschieden? Diese Frage stellten wir uns auch bei den anderen Partien und bis auf ein, zwei Ausnahmen ist eines garantiert. Spannung Pur! Also gerne reinhören und mit dabei sein in der Diskussion über den schönsten Sport der Welt! 🎥 Folgt uns auf YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@halbzeitpodcast 📷 Folgt uns auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halbzeitpodcast/  Haltet Ausschau nach weiteren Folgen in Zukunft! 

Heute ist Freitag, der 13. – doch keine Panik. Anstatt uns verfluchen zu lassen, brechen wir heute lieber einen Fluch: Real Madrid hat gewonnen! Und das, obwohl wir mit streng geschulten Adleraugen zugesehen haben. Es geht also doch noch. Wir sind wieder frei. Hala Madrid! Bevor wir aber zur Analyse schreiten können, erklärt uns Toni kurz, was genau ein Kiwi-Wecker ist, warum er so einen jetzt eventuell besitzt und weshalb sein neuer Koch eher wie ein Hochleistungssportler als wie ein naschfreudiger Spitzenkoch aussieht. Felix lauscht gebannt und kratzt währenddessen ein paar Schokokrümel von seiner Autogrammkarten-Geburtstagstorte – GANZ RECHT! Er hatte Geburtstag und nimmt Glückwünsche jeglicher Art weiterhin gerne entgegen – notfalls auch nachträglich und in Form von Süßigkeiten. Selbiges gilt – nach so einem Spiel – sicher auch für den nicht mehr ganz so kleinen Fede. Die königliche #8 hat jetzt also auch lupenreine Hattricks im Repertoire. Wer hätt’s gedacht. Toni nickt dazu väterlich anerkennend, vermutlich mit dem stillen Wissen, dass man solche Abende nicht allzu häufig serviert bekommt. Und damit rein in die Analyse: Real Madrid gegen Manchester City im Achtelfinale der Königsklasse. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

Did did Pep Guardiola get his tactics wrong on the night? Elsewhere, not a single Premier League side takes a lead into the second leg. Is the relentless domestic schedule starting to catch up with English clubs at this stage of the season? And how many will still be standing by the quarter-finals? Plus, Gary, Alan and Micah discuss Igor Tudor’s treatment of goalkeeper Antonín Kinský, and after a difficult start, whether he should still be in the job.

The Premier League title race takes another dramatic twist as Arsenal move seven points clear at the top. After Manchester City drop points at home to Nottingham Forest, are Pep Guardiola’s side now too far behind to catch the Gunners? There’s also plenty to discuss at Chelsea. Have they finally found their long-term number 9? João Pedro has been in sensational form under Liam Rosenior, but can he fire Chelsea back into the Champions League next season? And with the race for the top five heating up, which of Manchester United, Aston Villa, Chelsea, or Liverpool will miss out? Plus, Gary, Alan and Micah revisit the ever-controversial topic of VAR.

Lamine Yamal became the youngest player this century to score a La Liga hat-trick as Barcelona thumped Villarreal 4-1 to move top of the table. We ask if this Barcelona side now have the momentum to push on. The Champions League draw has served up blockbuster ties: Real Madrid face familiar foes Manchester City, Barcelona take on Newcastle United, and Atletico Madrid travel to Tottenham. A potential all-Spanish quarter-final between Barcelona and Atletico awaits. Elsewhere, Julian Alvarez was Atletico's hero with a 94th-minute winner against Real Oviedo, while Sevilla fought back from two down to draw the Seville derby. With the title race heating up and European giants set to collide, we assess where Spain's big three stand. Join The Players Lounge: The official fantasy football club of The Rest Is Football.

North London is red. Arsenal F.C. stormed the derby, overwhelming Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in a statement performance that reignites the title charge. The gap stretches back to five points, but with Manchester City F.C. still holding a game in hand, the pressure is far from over. City responded in kind, dispatching Newcastle at the Etihad. If Pep’s side keep stacking wins, will the weight of expectation prove too much for the Gunners? And could it all come down to that blockbuster showdown at the Etihad in April? At the other end of the table, Spurs are dangerously close to the relegation zone after a limp derby display, with a new manager still searching for answers. Could Tottenham genuinely be dragged into a survival battle? And if the unthinkable happened, would it go down as the most shocking relegation in Premier League history?

Arsenal made unwanted history this weekend, becoming the first side in Premier League history to surrender a two-goal lead against a team starting the day in the relegation zone. Wolves fought back from 2–0 down to claim a crucial point, a result that has thrown the title race wide open. With Manchester City now just five points behind, with a game in hand, the question has to be asked: do Arsenal have the experience and resilience required to go all the way? Elsewhere in Europe, there were deeply troubling scenes during Benfica’s match involving Vinícius Júnior and Gianluca Prestianni. After scoring a superb goal, Vinícius Júnior was subjected to alleged racial abuse. The incident has once again raised urgent questions about racism in football and why meaningful progress remains so slow. Gary, Alan and Micah reflect on why this continues to happen in the modern game and also discuss the reaction after the match, including disappointing comments from José Mourinho that have sparked further debate.

The title race takes another twist as Arsenal stumble against Brentford, tightening the gap at the top. Just four points now separate the Gunners and Manchester City with 12 games left to play. Can Arsenal hold their nerve, or will Pep Guardiola’s men pile on the pressure and take control? Elsewhere, Evangelos Marinakis swings the axe again, sacking his third manager of the season in Sean Dyche. Nottingham Forest hover just three points above an in-form West Ham, and the relegation battle is reaching boiling point. With momentum shifting and nerves fraying, who’s going down?
