Summary
Ahead of their inevitable Ligue Un coronation, Dotun, Andy and Miguel Delaney wonder what direction PSG should head in next season. Would they swap Mauricio Pochettino for Antonio Conte?
We also look over the Simeone Effect on the dark side of Madrid and, a year on from the Super League, ask if the founding clubs will ever be punished and what's next for European football?

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of On The Consonant, your one-stop shop, for everything to do with European football, I'm Dotson Adibaya. |
| 0:10.0 | I'm Andy Brassel, and I'm Miguel Delaney. |
| 0:12.0 | On this Okie-Kokie edition of the pod, we'll PSG's Collective Ultra-Sparry be singing new Somnely Champions at the Park de France on low weekend or will the Champagne and the Champignans be on ice. |
| 0:26.0 | Also, the best, the worst, and the ugliest of Atlético Madrid, just another night in the Champions League. |
| 0:33.0 | And we are singing the Super League Blues instead, but is it buried? That's what it's all about. |
| 0:40.0 | Andy, first of all, let's get one thing clear. As we speak, it is unclear as to whether Mauritio Pochettino will be the coach of PSG next season or not. |
| 0:56.0 | He will be this weekend when they aim to get the title or secure the title. |
| 0:59.0 | Yeah, let's let him lift the trophy first, I reckon. |
| 1:02.0 | So it could have been last night, and for a while, it looked like it would be full midweek round of fixtures in France, Paris Saint-Germain-1, 3-0 Arje. |
| 1:13.0 | And if Marseille had failed to win against Nantes, and they were behind twice, the velodrome, then it would have been official. |
| 1:23.0 | It is Marseille came from behind twice to win, 3-2, what was a pretty good game, and it means that PSG still need one point to make it mathematically certain. |
| 1:35.0 | You know, I'm sure it's lovely, they've been at home, etc, etc, etc. |
| 1:40.0 | But there's been a bit of a sea change in how Pochettino has approached things this week. |
| 1:46.0 | Well, for the first time, he addressed what not getting through the Champions League meant. |
| 1:56.0 | Now, before, of course, he was blustering, I guess, understandably in the aftermath about the apparent foul on Dollar River by Benzomer, etc, etc, etc. |
| 2:06.0 | That second leg, but it's the first time he talked about what it meant, and he said, well, obviously the season's a bit of a failure. |
| 2:13.0 | If you don't get further in the Champions League, then we did, and if you don't get the Champions League, so that was an admission of that. |
| 2:22.0 | And what was also interesting is that you always find this, when someone speaks on a big issue on football, |
| 2:31.0 | unless they're as explicit and unequivocal as explicit and unequivocal can be, there's several different interpretations of their words. |
| 2:40.0 | Now, Pochettino said, I still have a contract for next season. |
| 2:44.0 | Does that mean he's staying at Paris Saint-Germain? |
| 2:47.0 | No, what it means is if you want to get rid of me, which I know you do, and I want to leave, you're going to have to pay for it still. |
