Málaga Special! The Rise and Fall and Rise of Málaga CF, the genius of Juan Funes, and why this young Málaga team have been the best thing to watch in the Spanish Segunda

It's a Málaga special! With his beloved Málaga achieving a fairytale promotion back to the big time, Matt insisted on dedicating an entire episode to his blue-and-white amor. Joining him to talk all things Los Blanquiazules are two returning guests, Luke Chambers and Daniel Höhnke – the two people Matt has watched the most matches with from the stands of La Rosaleda this season. Together, they discuss the club's incredible turnaround under former B-team manager Juan Funes, as well as the exciting crop of local talent that helped carry Málaga over the line, including David Larrubia, Dani Lorenzo, Chupe and many more. The conversation also looks back at the dark days of the past decade, shares personal Málaga stories, and, of course, dives into favourite matches, goals, moments and memories.
