The Awards Show

·1 hr 28 min·5 clips

The panel delivers a harsh verdict on Kevin Medina's three-season failure to deliver goals or assists.

The episode is a structured awards ceremony reviewing Malaga CF's 2024-25 Segunda División season. Host Luke Chambers is joined by regular panelists Joe Edwards, Paul Hennehan, and Chris Marquez, with pre-recorded input from fan Sergio. They discuss nine categories, starting with 'Surprise Player of the Season,' where Dani Sánchez receives the most votes for his improved defensive work and goals. The 'Disappointment of the Season' category sees unanimous criticism of winger Kevin Medina for his lack of output and poor attitude. For 'Worst Moment,' opinions split between Manu Molina's costly own goal against Oviedo and a damaging late loss to Huesca that sparked relegation fears. The 'Best Moment' debate includes the chaotic 2-2 draw with Granada, the win over Sporting Gijón that secured survival, and Roko Baturina's late winner at Cartagena. 'Signing of the Season' is awarded to Luismi Sánchez for bringing stability to midfield. 'Goal of the Season' goes to Chupete's backheel against Sporting Gijón for its technique and importance. 'Chumbo (Worst Player) of the Season' is given to loanee Yanis Rahmani for his negligible impact. The 'Player of the Season' (Biznaga) award is won by goalkeeper Alfonso Guerrero, though David La Rubia receives strong support. The hosts rate the season overall, with scores ranging from 2.5 to 4 out of 5. The episode concludes with discussions on needed squad improvements and a pointed critique from Chris Marquez about the club's leadership and financial strategy.
