Summary
Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Seb Stafford-Bloor as the European season reaches its exciting conclusion.
Leverkusen make it 50 unbeaten while Atalanta appear to be peaking ahead of their Europa League final meeting. And when was the last time there was such a clear favourite in the Champions League final?
It’s a slightly messy goodbye for Mbappe at PSG but Lyon’s phenomenal second half of the season continues. Could they be the big challengers for the Ligue 1 crown next season?
Big promotion news as Como join Serie A, while St Pauli and Holstein Kiel move on up to the Bundesliga. Plus one of only 9 Spanish league champions are back in the second division.
Plus Bologna are in the European Cup for the first time in 60 years but will Thiago Motta be there with Juventus. And why aren’t Milan fans satisfied?
Produced by Charlie Jones.
