Summary
First came Didier, then came Romelu, then came...
Matt Davies-Adams has got Dom Fifield and the returning Super Sammy Parkin alongside him to look back on the comprehensive 4-1 Conference League semi-final first leg victory over Djurgården. Simon Johnson spoke to us at full-time to give a flavour of events on the ground in Sweden.
Then our focus shifts back to the Premier League and the visit of Liverpool to Stamford Bridge on Sunday. We might be subjected to a guard of honour - but can Chelsea get the better of the champions and take another huge step towards securing Champions League football next season?
There's jubilation for CFCW who wrapped up their sixth straight WSL title on Wednesday night with the 1-0 victory at Manchester United. The Athletic's Megan Feringa is back with her assessment of how big an achievement it is in Sonia Bompastor's first season in charge.
We've got a pretty mouthwatering quiz with Sam looking to reclaim his old crown as the most fearsome competitor of all.
Plus, we pay our tributes to a man who was the definition of 'Proper Chels' following the incredibly sad news of Paul Lagan's passing.
We'll be back on Monday to reflect on the visit of Liverpool and look ahead to the second leg against Djurgården on Thursday night.
HOST: Matt Davies-Adams
WITH: Dom Fifield, Simon Johnson, Megan Feringa and Sam Parkin
