Summary
A weekend with not one but TWO major finals calls for a bumper podcast...
Matt Davies-Adams is joined by The Athletic's Chelsea experts Simon Johnson, Dom Fifield and Liam Twomey to pick the bones from the unexpected 1-0 defeat by Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Then all eyes turn to Wembley and Gothenburg, where the men's and women's teams go in pursuit of the FA Cup and Champions League.
We've got all the build up to both ties - with a trip down memory lane, thoughts on facing Leicester and a look at what Thomas Tuchel's side needs to do if they're to be lifting the trophy come Saturday night.
We're also joined by former Blues player Gemma Davison to preview what could be a historic evening in Sweden for Emma Hayes' side as they take on Barcelona.
