Ray Hudson, Kaylyn Kyle and Andres Cordero react to the breaking news that Italy has suspended all sporting activity until April 3 as the country tries to curtail the spread of coronavirus. The Magisterial crew tries to get into the heads of the players involved in one of the tightest Serie A title races in living memory as they deal with the added curve balls of delayed fixtures and playing games behind closed doors.
Then it’s over to Spain, where just a week after getting a moral-boosting win in El Clasico, Real Madrid’s title hopes took a blow following a sub-par performance at the Benito Villamarin. With the ‘favorites’ tag no belonging to Barcelona, who stumbled to an undeserved victory over Real Sociedad, Ray, Kay and Dre examine the slippery slope at the LaLiga summit.
Plus, with four teams set to fall through the Champions League trap door this week, the gang works its way down the fixture list to predict the outcomes of RB Leipzig vs. Tottenham, Valencia vs. Atalanta, Liverpool vs. Atletico Madrid and PSG vs. Borussia Dortmund.

There were bizarre scenes at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena over the weekend with both teams downing tools after a group of Bayern Munich ultras refused to remove banners insulting Hoffenheim’s billionaire owner, Dietmar Hopp.
Andres Cordero and Eric Krakauer take control of the Mailbag and do their darnedest to make sense of the Bavarian club’s decision to defend Hopp instead of its own fans amid a growing wave of discontent among Bundesliga supporter groups towards the “over-commercialization” of the sport.
Plus, with the Copa Libertadores back on beIN SPORTS, the conversation takes a South American slant as our stand-in Mailbagers weigh up Flamengo’s chances of retaining the title in a competitive playing field containing other giants like Gremio, River Plate, Palmeiras and Boca Juniors.

Plus, Gabrielle Amado, Kaylyn Kyle and special guest Jimmy Conrad dial in from the Spanish capital to describe the atmosphere within the stadium, and share their own thoughts on the game.

In the wake of back-to-back defeats, and with a two-point deficit in the LaLiga title race, Real Madrid come into El Clásico in desperate need of a result.
From a hotel room somewhere in Madrid, Gabrielle Amado, Kaylyn Kyle and beIN SPORTS/beIN Español's Iñaki Angulo discuss Sunday's game and speculate how the two managers will line-up at the Bernabeu.
Starting with Zinedine Zidane's men, still reeling from the gut-punch Manchester City landed them days ago in the Champions League, will be looking to salvage some pride, as well as reclaim top spot after dropping five points from the last six in play.
Not that life has been a bed of roses over at Barcelona. Despite occupying first place, Quique Setien's team has had to contend with a growing list of injuries to key players, not to mention a constant churn of institutional scandals that would make a telenovela scriptwriter blush.

What a difference a week makes!
Amidst a very public institutional crisis, Barcelona returned to the LaLiga summit with new signing Martin Braithwaite paying instant dividends on his blaugrana debut. Elsewhere, previously high-flying Real Madrid followed up a disappointing draw with Celta with a disastrous defeat to Levante. And that’s saying nothing about Eden Hazard’s injury!
Heck, even the mood around Atletico Madrid changed over the weekend, with João Felix returning and getting on the scoresheet in an impressive win over Villarreal.
Ray Hudson, Kaylyn Kyle and George D. Metellus reflect on a rollercoaster weekend in LaLiga as the clock ticks down towards the second Clasico of the season.
Plus, the crew previews Wednesday’s finely-poised Recopa Sudamericana second leg between plucky underdogs Independiente Del Valle and Brazilian giants Flamengo, before making its predictions ahead of the week’s four Champions League fixtures.

Ray Hudson, Gary Bailey and Kaylyn Kyle make their bold predictions about which of the two sides will get to decorate its trophy room with the La Liga title at the end of the season.
Outside of Spain’s top two, the Mailbag crew waxes lyrical about the teams that have made the biggest impression on them this season. Here’s looking at you, Getafe and Real Sociedad!
And to wrap things up, Gary relives his darkest moment as Manchester United’s number one as the gang exchanges horror stories from their playing days.
Producer's note: apologies to the great people of Massachusetts - Kaylyn means no harm ;)

Celta Vigo left Zinedine Zidane's men with a bloody nose on Sunday, while Barcelona held tight to scoop all three points against Getafe. Only one point separates first from second in the LaLiga standings, and Ray, Kaylyn and Gary are excited, to say the least.
Looking ahead, the Magisterial crew previews Atletico Madrid's tough test against the reigning Champions League holders, as well as Borussia Dortmund's and PSG's epic battle of offensive prowess and defensive frailties.

Getafe used to be a byword for boring, middle-of-the-road soccer, but that’s not the case anymore with Jose Bordalas putting a fire under the backsides of his players and getting them to compete, convincingly, for a Champions League spot.
Ray, Thomas and Kaylyn take a closer look at the south Madrid side ahead of a challenging set of fixtures that sees them take on Barcelona, Ajax, Sevilla and then Ajax again.
Also on the agenda, Athletic Club, Granada, Real Sociedad and Mirandes are the last teams standing in the Copa del Rey, but which of them deserves it most? The Mailbag crew assesses each of the four unlikely candidates as they prepare to battle it out in the penultimate stage of Spain’s newly-formatted and highly-entertaining domestic cup competition.
And finally, Kylian Mbappe’s public display of petulance towards Thomas Tuchel sparks a debate about how (and if) coaches should assert their authority over star players.FOLLOW US:

Plus, the crew discusses Inter winning the weekend in Serie A, the Getafe of England, Sheffield United, showing no signs of relenting, Leonardo's defense of "adorable" Kylian Mbappe, and Eric Abidal's foot-in-mouth moment.
And finally, Ray is not impressed with Kevin De Bruyne's inclusion in an Oscar-winner's imaginary dinner guest list.

Hope Solo makes her Mailbag debut to discuss the Scottish FA's plans to follow in the US Soccer's footsteps to ban heading at youth level. The crew asks if a correlation exists between heading the ball and degenerative brain disease, and if the header might one day become a thing of the past at senior level, too.
