Summary
Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens into the Euro pod as we approach crunch time across the continent.
The Champions League semi-finals are delicately poised with Liverpool expected to progress past Villarreal and Man City and Real Madrid expected to produce more chaos.
The panel are also predicting some epic atmospheres in the Conference League semi-final second legs in Marseille and Rome.
Christoph Biermann discusses the possibility of an all-German Europa League final as the nation starts to take the competition seriously again.
Trabzonspor and Linfield are champions at a canter, just like PSG were. Can the Parisians persuade Zidane to become the new manager?
Plus Bologna’s inspired form, Dortmund’s need for reinvention and a miserable year for Atletico.
