If you’re a LaLiga fan, this is certainly a blockbuster game week for you. If you’re not a fan of LaLiga, where better to start than the two fixtures, we talk about in this week’s episode!
We had the privilege of having a former guest speaker, Russell Tan (the regional Head of Marketing & Strategy for LaLiga and the founder of The Goal Assembly), return for this week’s episode. After close to two decades, this would be the first El Clásico without global footballing icon Lionel Messi and it will be interesting to see how both teams fare. After all, both teams are in a period of transition with Los Blancos faring relatively better than the Catalans.
