Summary
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Jonathan Northcroft, Gregor Robertson & Ian Hawkey.
Following the 1-1 draw at The Bernabeu are Man City now heavy favourites or just favourites to reach the Champions League final.
Kevin de Bruyne scored the goal for Man City as he continued his fine form but does he need to win the Champions League to go down as one of the all-time greats?
In the other semi-final Inter Milan took the bragging rights and one foot in the final after a 2 nil win over AC Milan.
Is Edin Dzeko the most underrated striker in Europe following his exploits at the San Siro?
Inter Milan had the opportunity to make it 3 nil after they awarded a penalty in the first-half however the referee decided to overturn his own decision after consulting VAR. Was that the correct decision?
As we head into the Championship play-offs who are favourites to make it to the promised land of the Premier League?
In-form Sunderland's injury issues continue and take on Luton, who aim to become the first team to go from the National League to the Premier League.
After all the issues Coventry have had in recent years would Mark Robins guiding the Sky Blues to promotion be the story of the season?
