City Doping Scandal, Leipzig 6-0, Barcelona Still Perfect, | EP145 Oct. 15th, 2026

Welcome back to the No Business Soccer Podcast! It was another packed weekend of football across Europe's top four leagues and we've broken down every single match. In the Premier League, Man City beat Liverpool 3-0, Chelsea thrashed Bournemouth 5-1, Crystal Palace beat Nottingham Forest 3-1, and Coventry pulled off a stunning 4-1 upset against Newcastle. But the biggest story in England wasn't on the pitch — Manchester City were found guilty of 114 out of 115 charges of breaching the Premier League's financial rules over a nine-year period, with rival club owners comparing it to "financial doping." The scandal has sent shockwaves through English football, with potential punishments ranging from a points deduction to expulsion from the league.

In La Liga, Barcelona continued their historic unbeaten start to the season, winning their first eight matches and averaging an astonishing 4.25 goals per game, with a 3-0 win over Getafe keeping them six points clear at the top. Real Madrid edged Villarreal 1-0, and Real Betis hammered Osasuna 5-2. In Serie A, Inter beat Parma 3-0, Napoli put three past Frosinone, and Lazio beat Monza 3-1. And in the Bundesliga, Leipzig demolished Frankfurt 6-0, Leverkusen beat Mainz 4-3 in a thriller, and Bayern were held to a 2-2 draw by Augsburg.

We'll also be previewing all the big matches coming up this weekend across all four leagues, including Barcelona vs Real Betis, Bayern vs Leipzig, and Inter vs Bologna. Do Spurs get a win this weekend? It's all here — let's get into it!
