The Big Interview with Graham Hunter
Messi, the Mestalla and a Mean Diego Costa: Q&A Special
Hola Big Interview listeners!
Well, here it is: the first part of the inaugural Q&A episode of the new season.
We asked our wonderful Socios for their questions about this campaign in Spain and they didn't disappoint. From queries about Atleti's title credentials; top talents to look out for; and Messi's chances of ruling over the rest of La Liga, I answer them all here.
There's also a special question about the La Liga clubs' prospects in the Champions League which comes from our sponsors Bet365.
