Summary
Jimbo welcomes Rafa Honigstein, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo as we look ahead to the Champions League semi-finals and some exhilarating title races.
Lille come from 2-0 down to win a thriller at Lyon, a statement victory in their pursuit of the title. But how different will Les Dogues look next season?
We look ahead to the Champions League and Europa League semi-finals, with most of them looking like 50-50 calls.
The fall-out from the failed European Super League continues. We hear how it was an act of desperation from the Spanish and Italian clubs. Are we on the verge of some huge clubs going under?
Julian Nagelsmann appears to be on his way to Bayern Munich as their new manager. Who will replace him at Leipzig?
Credit is due to Koeman as Barcelona have the destiny of La Liga in their own hands.
And will Andrea Pirlo get a second season at Juve, regardless of whether they finish in the top 4?
