Summary
Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Natalie Gedra and Dominic Fifield into the pod as the Champions League quarter-finals deliver on entertainment.
An Mbappe-inspired PSG win 3-2 in Munich. Have they overcome their mental problems in this competition? Or are Bayern still favourites?
Real Madrid are also victorious as makeshift Liverpool are exposed against high-level opposition. And Gareth Southgate will have been the most excited man watching City beat Dortmund, with Foden and Bellingham on song.
West Ham take on Leicester in a future Champions League final this weekend. The Athletic’s Roshane Thomas tells us about Lingard and the band of brothers that David Moyes has assembled.
And this weekend sees the reverse fixtures of the craziest day in Premier League history – when Manchester United conceded six and Liverpool conceded seven. Will this Spurs United clash boil down to Kane v Fernandes?
Natalie takes on the notorious Jack Lang in the latest Inter Totally Cup tie.
Plus playing at altitude and the Premier League building materials goal scorer chart.
