Summary
Jimbo is back on duty alongside Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Jack Lang to discuss Act One of the Champions League semi-finals and look ahead to this week’s Premier League action.
PSG and Bayern produce a modern-day classic at the Parc des Princes, with the Parisians coming out 5-4 winners and setting up a mouth-watering second leg. Is this tie the REAL final?
Meanwhile, it’s penalty drama at the Metropolitano as Arsenal draw 1-1 with Atletico Madrid. Should the Gunners have had the chance to make it 2-1 late on in the game?
They host Fulham this weekend in the Premier League, with title rivals Manchester City having to wait until Monday to go to Everton. Can Roberto De Zerbi build on his first Spurs win when they take on Aston Villa? Their relegation rivals West Ham are at Brentford.
Where now for Burnley after they sack Scott Parker? Is Manchester United against Liverpool the fifth most interesting game of the weekend?
And of course there’s the all-important draw for the Inter Totally Cup.
Produced by Charlie Jones & Xavi Bird
