Summary
It’s Jimbo, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús and Seb Stafford-Bloor ahead of a giant week across the continent.
The Champions League semi-final second legs are upon us. Can Arsenal overturn a 1-0 deficit in Paris? Will we see another classic between Inter and Barcelona? Who’s going to Munich? We also look at the semis in the Europa and Conference League.
Barca then have a Clásico on their hands on Saturday, with the chance to take a huge step towards the La Liga title. And while Ancelotti may be on the way out of the Bernabeu, what will Trent Alexander-Arnold bring to Los Blancos next season?
Bayern win the Bundesliga for the 12th time in 13 seasons with Harry Kane securing the first trophy of his career and Vincent Kompany vindicated after his shock appointment in Bavaria.
Napoli stay 3 points clear at the top of Serie A while Roma make it 19 games unbeaten under Claudio Ranieri to boost their top 4 hopes.
Plus promotions for Pisa and Paris FC, and the latest chapter of the Antony redemption story.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
