Summary

Grant dials up Lisbon and connects with his dear friend Guillem Balague, who's working for CBS Sports and other outlets, and they break down all the big news from the UEFA Champions League madness. Balague, who has written books on Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino, shares what he knows about Barcelona in the wake of its epochal 8-2 quarterfinal loss to Bayern Munich. That includes who the next Barça manager is likely to be, whether Messi will come back next season and what might be the likely destination of Pochettino. They also discuss Guardiola in the wake of Man City's stunning loss to Lyon and what it means for the ongoing City project. Then they break down the matchups in the two semifinals: PSG-Leipzig and Bayern Munich-Lyon.
