Summary
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Gregor Robertson, James Restall and Jonathan Northcroft.
Chelsea came away from their Champions League quarter final first leg with a two goal lead, but there are still questions over their German summer recruits. Are Kai Havertz and Timo Werner running out of time? Liverpool have it all to do in their second leg back at Anfield after a lacklustre performance at Real Madrid - but are people wrong to write them off? (00:00)
Manchester City also go into their second leg tie against Borussia Dortmund with an advantage. Eyes were on Erling Haaland, but was another young star the pick of the talent on show? (18:09)
The Times’ Chief Football Writer Henry Winter joins the conversation to discuss the young English talent we’ve seen in the Champions League this week and get his opinion on whether Gareth Southgate is any closer knowing how to include them in his England squad for the Euros (32:35)
Rebecca Welch made history by taking charge of a men’s league match on Monday. Sunny and Bhupinder Gill will become the first Asian brothers to officiate in the same game the coming weekend. We discuss how these role models can help improve the diversity of match officials (43:54)
After Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting replaced the injured Robert Lewandowski in PSG’s tie against Bayern Munich, we end with our favourite questionable stand-ins (49:47)
