Summary

Steve Crossman is joined by Guillem Balague, Julien Laurens and James Horncastle to discuss the latest from the world of European football.

They dissect the biggest storylines from this week's Champions League action, focusing on the performances of goalkeepers including Alisson Becker, who played a key role in Liverpool's win at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their last-16 tie.

The podcast moves on to the derby knockout clash between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, before considering left-field suggestions for the Ballon d'Or, and discussing how Isco looks inspired and rejuvenated at Real Betis.

One of the most shocking headlines of the week is Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca receiving a nine-month ban, and there is a feelgood story with Joseph Kalulu joining his brothers in professional football, but the panel most enjoy teasing Steve about the "weather in Sociedad".
