Summary
Nicky Bandini joins us from Milan to relive a truly once-in-a-lifetime atmosphere at San Siro.
How did Inter take control of this tie so decisively? We discuss 37-year-old (yes, 37-year-old!) Edin Džeko’s performance and ask where it went wrong for Milan.
After a week of celebrations, we also take in the significance of Napoli’s title win. Does it really matter if this is just a glorious one-off? Plus, one of the games in the season in Ligue 1 - followed by one its biggest bombshells. You’ll be glad to hear Hatem Ben Arfa got involved, of course.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to On the Continent, your definitive guide to the week in European football. |
| 0:05.9 | I'm Dotton Adibio. I'm Adib Rassel. And I'm Nikki Bantini. |
| 0:10.3 | On this edition, first blood to insert in the Champions League semi-final, Derby, |
| 0:16.4 | Nikki was in the place to be with a golden ticket. Also, Napoli are crowned Italian champions |
| 0:23.0 | finally. Will they be able to keep it up next season? And the game of the season in France plus |
| 0:30.2 | the end of an era in France. So Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, how lucky you were to be there. All we could |
| 0:40.5 | do is enjoy On the Telly. What was it like in the stadium? Yeah, I mean, we're very privileged in |
| 0:46.6 | this job that we do Andy and I and I mean, I think we both know that, but this is one of those |
| 0:51.5 | games that really makes you feel it and extremely difficult and stayed him to get into last night |
| 0:57.6 | in terms of acquiring a ticket and being there was a huge privilege. It was extraordinary, |
| 1:03.1 | don't the atmosphere was really, I don't know if I could say it's like nothing of experience before, |
| 1:11.0 | but I haven't experienced many like it, certainly by 5.30 pm locally. So it's 9 o'clock kickoff locally |
| 1:17.8 | and that it was already packed outside Sunset. I don't mean like a few people gathering. I don't |
| 1:22.3 | mean like for the court to finally get snapply where there was a cure already at the gate. This was |
| 1:27.0 | just like it was already about kickoff. There was people outside and having their drinks, having |
| 1:32.5 | their food. Everyone wanted to be there as soon as they could and make the most of it and you just |
| 1:37.7 | have that feeling, I guess, the tension that you get when you've been waiting 20 years to play |
| 1:43.0 | your local rival in a European semi-final and inside the stadium, the stadium is like a normal |
| 1:52.1 | level of sort of hustle and bustle and out before kickoff. It's busy and it's buzzing, but there's a |
| 1:58.0 | moment and I think this is, I've experienced it most in Italy. I'm a very aware there are other |
| 2:03.3 | countries where ultra culture sort of imposes timelines of how chairs happen in the same way, |
| 2:07.5 | but I've experienced it most in Italy and as a contrast to living in England, again to football |
