Summary
Dotun, Andy and Lars Sivertsen are working hard for the money on today's continental crusade - much like perennial title winners PSG and Bayern Munich. We ask if the feeling sours with each title win and what can be done to level the playing field.
We also recap more midweek chaos, as Madrid's hubris gets them through another game and Villarreal put up a stubborn fight at Anfield.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to another episode of On the Continent, your one-stop shop for everything to do with European football. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm Dotton Adibayo. I'm Adib Rassel. And I'm Lassi Watson. |
| 0:10.0 | On this halftime in the Champions League semi-final's edition of the pod, |
| 0:14.0 | they don't think it's all over in Madrid. |
| 0:17.0 | Will the memo reach Villarreal on time for Liverpool to put one hand on the trophy in the second half? |
| 0:23.0 | And doesn't winning your domestic league make up for being knocked out of the Champions League? |
| 0:28.0 | Why are the long faces of Bayern and PSG? |
| 0:31.0 | What a cracker. What a cracker, Lassi, at the Etihad this week, |
| 0:36.0 | 4-3 ended. It was amazing. And yet it does beg a question about Real Madrid or two, doesn't it? |
| 0:44.0 | It was a fantastic game. And I was watching it thinking, you know, as the game progressed, you know, |
| 0:50.0 | you couldn't write this. You couldn't script this, you know. |

| 1:03.0 | We've seen this so many times with Manchester City, with Pep Guardiola's teams at the stage of the tournament |
| 1:09.0 | that they have these games, that they created a bunch of chances, but they only put them away. |
| 1:13.0 | And Guardiola has seen this before, which is why he was freaking out. |
| 1:16.0 | When Maris didn't pass to Foden, you might think that your team is playing so well. |
| 1:21.0 | You're creating chances. You're totally on top. Why are you freaking out about one missed chance? |
| 1:26.0 | It's because he knows 3-0 as a much bigger lead than 2-0. |
| 1:29.0 | And he knows these things can turn very quickly. And we know with Real Madrid, they have this incredible ability, |
