The World Took a Breath: Riquelme’s Night vs Brazil
May 15, 2025 · 28 min

In this episode, we finally dive into that night in Buenos Aires—Argentina vs Brazil, 2005. Riquelme doesn’t just orchestrate a performance; he owns the tempo of the entire continent. We break down the game, the rhythm, the moments, and what made this a performance for the ages—especially in contrast to our last episode on Aimar.

Before that, I run through this weekend’s key fixtures in La Liga and Serie A, with the title races and European spots hanging in the balance.

Then we go Offside with a bit of football news and whatever else is floating around in this chaotic football world.

Breathe in. Pause. Let Riquelme take it from here.
