Summary

Champions League final ahoy. Matt Davies-Adams, Carl Anka, Rory Smith and Duncan Alexander look ahead to the marquee match of the club season in European football. Real Madrid face Liverpool in Paris with revenge in the air. Is Mo Salah in danger of going full Gazza 91? And would the absence of Thiago make Real favourites? The appetiser for Saturday sees Roma claim the first ever Conference League trophy with victory over Feyenoord. A great moment for Rome, Mourinho and Smalling. The Championship play-off final rounds off the weekend on Sunday. Steven Chicken joins us to fill us in on Huddersfield and redress the rampant Nottingham Forest bias on the podcast.
