Mark takes us through Real Madrid's first game of 2022 in a doozy against lowly Getafe (17:00), and then Payton does the same as Barcelona barely edged Mallorca in a thrilling game (29:50). Then the boys discuss the tournament results as Real Madrid and Barcelona both throw their hats in the ring for the round of 32 in the Copa Del Rey, with Real's first game against last year's giant-killers, Alcoyano (42:05) and Barcelona's first match against the Andalusian side, Linares (50:15).
