Summary

Dotun, Andy and Nicky Bandini are here for a tale of two continental coaches, as a tranquil Carlo Ancelotti made it to another Champions League final while Unai Emery's bluster fizzled out at the penultimate hurdle. 


We also preview a fascinating end to the Serie A season as the Milanese jostle for supremacy and we ask how successful the Europa Conference League has been in its inaugural season.

1:42.3

The second leg of the game between Manchester City and Real Madrid was more what I was expecting
