In this glorious sunsetting episode of ECP, the boys are here to bring you the penultimate game reviews of the season, and the previews of the last games Barcelona and Real Madrid will play for the 2025/2026 season. And what a season it's been.

Barcelona took on Deportivo Alaves away in their first La Liga game as champions (12:30). Real Madrid squared off against last-placed Real Oviedo in a shockingly close game (16:48). Then, we cover Barcelona's final home game, hoping to keep their home record perfect against Real Betis and send Lewandowski off in style (23:29). And Real Madrid played for pride against Sevilla (36:51).

Finally, we look ahead to the final games of the year, as Barcelona travel to the Mestalla to finish their season out against Valencia (41:35), and Real Madrid host Athletic Bilbao for Arbeloa's last game in charge (52:50).

Also, a surprise dark horse candidate for the World Cup is chosen (52:50)
