Lucho Diaz vs Real Madrid: final anticipada en la Champions.

April 7, 2026·55 min·4 clips

The 2008 Wimbledon final between Nadal and Federer lasted 4 hours 48 minutes, was interrupted by rain multiple times, and ended in a fifth-set 9-7 that snapped Federer's five-year title run.

1. Su Presencia Radio's 'Que Ruede la Pelota' airs on April 7 at noon and opens with the week's Champions League quarter-final fixtures. 2. The panel includes the lead host ('profe'), Claudia Correa, Andrés López ('Pulse'), Daniel Ordóñez, Julián Ricardo, Velázquez, and studio engineer Valentina. 3. The central preview is Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich: Andrés López notes Bayern leads the all-time Champions League head-to-head 11-3 across 28 meetings, the most encounters of any two European clubs. 4. The panel debates whether this Bayern side — on track to break the record for goals in a season set by the Lewandowski-era Bayern of 2015 — is the best in the club's history. 5. Real Madrid's starting lineup includes Lunin in goal, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Chouameni in midfield, Arda Güler, Mbappé, and Vinicius; Mbappé is described as 'the dictator' in memes because anyone who clashes with him seems to leave the club. 6. Luis Díaz at Bayern Munich is the main Colombian interest in the match; Luis Javier Suárez at Sporting Lisbon provides the other Colombian angle in the day's second quarter-final against Arsenal. 7. Arsenal's form is described as worrying: they lost the Carabao Cup to Manchester City and a Premier League match to Southampton, and the hosts suggest Manchester City may still catch them in the title race despite a nine-point gap and one game in hand. 8. Deportes Tolima debuts in Copa Libertadores at 9pm against Peruvian club Universitario at their home stadium in Ibagué, which had to make modifications to meet Conmebol requirements; the squad's key player is winger Tatay Torres. 9. Boca Juniors play Copa Libertadores away at Universidad Católica at 7:30pm; Barracas Central — owned by Claudio 'el Chiquitapia' Tapia, the Argentine FA president — face Vasco da Gama in Copa Sudamericana, with Vasco sending a heavily rotated side. 10. Millonarios's Copa Sudamericana opener against O'Higgins in Chile features Falcao García on the bench; the 23-man squad is read out in full, including goalkeeper Noa, midfielders Macalister Silva and Darwin Quintero, and Falcao in attack. 11. The hosts worry Millonarios will struggle because O'Higgins will sit deep and look to counter, exploiting the team's known tendency to resort to ineffective crosses when faced with a low block. 12. Richard Ríos scored a diving header for Benfica in a 2-1 win in the Portuguese league; his club president José Mourinho initially criticised the squad but has warmed to Ríos as he has performed. 13. John Arias scored the decisive goal in a victory for his Brazilian club and arrived in Cartagena with Palmeiras ahead of their Copa Libertadores match against Junior at the Estadio Metropolitano (which is being renovated, so Junior hosts in Cartagena). 14. The James Rodríguez debate centres on Minnesota FC releasing a statement denying reports that James has rhabdomyolysis (muscle-fluid leaking into the bloodstream); the panel suspects both the Colombian federation and Minnesota are exaggerating their respective positions. 15. No panelist will name James as Colombia's automatic World Cup starter; options discussed as alternatives include Quintero (with concerns about his stamina beyond 40 minutes) and Carrascal, or a system without a classic 10. 16. One host argues the modern game may no longer need a traditional number ten and cites what Queiroz proposed — and was criticised for — as ahead of its time. 17. The 'La Cancha' produced segment by Claudia Correa recounts the 2008 Wimbledon final: Nadal winning sets 1 and 2 (6-4, 6-4), Federer winning sets 3 and 4 in tiebreaks (saving match points), rain delays extending play, and Nadal closing 9-7 in the fifth to end Federer's five-title streak. 18. The 'insólito' (oddity) segment notes: Diego Chará of Portland Timbers now holds the record for most career yellow cards in MLS history at 124; Italy's World Cup-qualified Canadian diaspora community traded Azzurri shirts for Canadian ones; chess grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura took 67 minutes and 44 seconds to make a single move against 20-year-old Sindarov. 19. The Congo's domestic league season has been suspended because players are still celebrating their World Cup qualification; an AI reportedly predicted Colombia would finish third in their World Cup group, behind Portugal and Uzbekistan. 20. Listeners interested in Colombian football in international competition, the Champions League with a Lucho Díaz focus, and multi-sport roundups in Spanish will find this episode highly relevant.
