Summary

Jimbo is joined by the Euro crew of James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein ahead of a must-win week for clubs in the Champions League.

Napoli travel to Catalunya to take on Barcelona in the last 16 second leg. It could be season over for the losers, and an especially bleak future for Barca given their wage bill.

Meanwhile can Porto disrupt Arsenal and go through? Will Dortmund show the resilience against PSV that has characterised their Champions League campaign?

Inter take on Atletico having won 13 out of 13 in 2024. Why isn’t Simone Inzaghi being linked with more top jobs?

We revisit Roma’s incredible 4-0 win over Brighton in the Europa League with De Rossi adapting and De Zerbi losing his rag.

Plus Marseille make it 5 wins out of 5, Rafa Benitez’s Celta Vigo are in trouble and Harry Kane is chasing the Bundesliga scoring record.

Produced by Charlie Jones.
