2024-25 Champions League Returns &#8211; Matchday 1 
DF: You&#8217;re listening to Languagecaster.com&#8217;s football language podcast. 
Hello everyone and welcome to the show for all those who love the <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-the-beautiful-game/">beautiful game</a> of football and who want to improve their English. My name is Damian and after a short trip to Spain I am back in London where the weather is a little wet and grey &#8211; very different from the Spanish weather! What is the weather like where you are at the moment? Hopefully a little better than in Tokyo where the other member of the Learn English Through Football Podcast team, Damon, tells me that it is still very, very hot. 
Now, it&#8217;s just me this week and apologies for the slight delay in this week&#8217;s podcast &#8211; we have both been quite busy at work &#8211; and I am recording this on Saturday morning after my weekly game of five-a-side football. In fact, a couple of my team mates are going to be representing the guests in <a href="https://languagecaster.com/community/2024-25-predictions/predictions-week-6-sep-21-23/">this week&#8217;s predictions</a> which we will look at later on in the show.

Today&#8217;s Show 
DF: Right, on today&#8217;s show we will be looking at some of the football language from the past week and it&#8217;s been a really busy week with lots of football being played all around the world. We&#8217;ll start off with a look at some of the language from a Spanish second division game that I went to last weekend before moving on to some words and phrases from Matchday 1 of the Champions League, while we will also have some language of predictions as we look back at some of the big games from last weekend. Let me tell you now, it was a bad weekend for me so I am not going to spend too much time on the <a href="https://languagecaster.com/english-through-football-podcast-2018-north-london-derby/">North London derby</a>!

Watching Málaga: Unbeaten Start 
 DF: Now, some of you might know that I am a fan of FC Málaga after living in the city many years ago, in fact, I saw them play for the first time way back in 1987. Well, last weekend I had the pleasure of going to see them again in the wonderful La Rosaleda Stadium. The team <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-promotion/">has just been promoted</a> to the Segunda División after a season in the third <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-glossary-tier/">tier</a> and the feeling around the city is very positive indeed. They played so well in this game and <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-language-hand-team-defeat/">defeated</a> Huesca, a team from the north of Spain, by 1-0 to <a href="https://languagecaster.com/football-language-unbeaten-record/">remain unbeaten</a> at the start of the season (tha...
