Summary

Jimbo is once again alongside Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballus, James Horncastle and Tom Williams to discuss all things European football.

 

Barcelona beat local rivals Espanyol 4-1 to go nine points clear at the top of La Liga after Real Madrid stumble to a 1-1 draw with Girona. How might all this affect this week’s Champions League Quarter Final second legs?

 

There’s no game to impact PSG, as they’re given the weekend off in France to focus on beating Liverpool. No such let-off for Monaco, who are hammered 4-1 by PSG’s neighbours Paris FC.

 

In Germany, Bayern set a single-season scoring record with an emphatic 5-0 win at St Pauli, and Union Berlin's Marie-Louise Eta becomes the first woman to manage a Bundesliga side.

 

And in Italy, it’s goals galore between Como and Inter, with the league leaders winning 4-3 to stretch their lead over second placed Napoli to nine points. Plus, there’s a public clash between Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini.

 

Produced by Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.
