## Resource

La Liga is back, and so are the LLL pods! Join Ben Sully (@SullyBen) and Harry Gillies as they go through the first four games of match day one.  The guys discuss new managers, dubious penalty decisions, and a future Scottish star in Sevilla. There was plenty of room left for transfer talk, including Rodri’s move to Barcelona. We give our thoughts on how the big clubs have strengthened, and what they still might be missing ahead of deadline day.  The focus turned to Barça’s striking options, as Culers will still be dreaming of Julián Álvarez in a blaugrana shirt. It’s going to be a great season for the pods, and we can’t wait to share more episodes with you, including the weekly bonus pod on lllonline.substack.com. Hosted on Acast.
