UEFA Champions League

Jimbo, Charlie Eccleshare, Jack Lang and Tom Williams are in the studio after an enthralling midweek of Champions League semi-final first leg action. Barcelona head to Milan still on level terms with Inter after a classic 3-3 draw at Montjuic. But it’s the performance of Lamine Yamal that has the world talking. Pol Ballús was there to watch a 17-year-old who keeps encouraging Lionel Messi comparisons with his performances. Arsenal are edged out 1-0 by PSG at the Emirates. What contributed to a flat evening for the Gunners? PSG’s possession? The officiating? The tifo? And what positives can they take to Paris? We also find out what Messi and Ronaldo got up to in the Champions League this week. Chelsea are WSL champions while an exciting final day lies ahead in the EFL on Saturday. And we preview the weekend as the Premier League enters the Shaun Maloney weeks. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Italian expert Max Callegari alongside him to recap all the latest action from across the continent. Fresh off the back of last week’s thrilling Champions League quarterfinals - it’s back to domestic matters - but with a nod to the small matter of Arsenal v PSG and Barcelona v Inter just around the corner… Back in Serie A, Napoli moved level on points with Inter at the top of the table after the Nerazzurri were beaten 1-0 by a stunning goal from substitute Riccardo Orsolini. So, could we be heading towards a play-off to decide who takes the Scudetto?! In Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid scored dramatic stoppage-time winners to keep the La Liga title race alive ahead of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final between the two. No such luck for Atleti though, who saw their slim title hopes dashed courtesy of a late defeat at the hands of our favourites Las Palmas. Over in France, it’s all eyes on Arsenal for PSG as they continued their march to an unbeaten league season with a 2-1 win at Le Havre. Marseille put five past Montpellier to take back second place from Monaco - but it’s their plans for the rest of the campaign which have raised a few eyebrows… And in Germany, the Bundesliga title race is all but over as Bayern Munich thrashed Heidenheim 4-0 to move eight points clear after Leverkusen were held at St Pauli. But could Xavi Alonso’s focus be elsewhere with links to the Real Madrid job growing stronger? Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Welcome to It Was What It Was. As Barcelona and Inter prepare to face off once again in this year’s Champions League semi-final, we look back at the original - a tie that shaped modern football. Pep Guardiola vs. José Mourinho. All-out attack vs. tactical defiance. Ideology, rivalry - maybe even good vs. evil? Fifteen years ago, Pep’s all-conquering Barcelona met Mourinho’s Inter Milan in a Champions League semi-final that didn’t just decide who reached the final - it helped define a footballing era. In Part One, Rob and Jonathan set the scene: how Mourinho’s Inter came to challenge the most dominant team in the world, the tactics he used, the battles he fought in Italy, and how both sides arrived at this collision point chasing domestic and European glory. Part Two drops Friday, where Rob and Jonathan break down the epic semi-final itself. 00:00 Barcelona's Football Perfection 01:48 Mourinho vs. Guardiola: A Rivalry Begins 02:47 The Dark Side of Mourinho 03:25 Star Wars Analogies and Football Tactics 06:53 Mourinho's Seven-Point Plan 07:45 Mourinho's Philosophy and Evolution 08:43 Mourinho's Journey to Inter Milan 09:58 Cultural Expectations and Pragmatic Football 12:23 Mourinho's Press Conference Antics 13:44 Mourinho's Linguistic Brilliance 14:49 Mourinho's Training Philosophy 20:04 Key Matches and Tactical Shifts 21:16 Mourinho's First Season at Inter 22:27 Transfer Drama: Stars on the Move 23:51 Barcelona's Dominance and Challenges 26:40 Inter's Journey to the Semifinals 28:57 Mourinho's Tactical Mastery 32:29 Controversies and Confrontations 40:24 The Road to the Semifinals 43:57 Setting the Stage for the Epic Semifinal Hosted on Acast.

Mateo Kovacic is the latest guest in the hot seat on the Official Man City Podcast… The Croatian midfielder joins hosts Sam Cox and FG as he returns for his second appearance on the podcast. Kovacic starts with a look back at his arrival in the summer of 2023 and what it was like joining a City team that had just landed the Treble. And he explains what it is like walking into a dressing room full of superstars having also done so at former clubs Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea. In an incredible career, the 30-year-old has won the Champions League four times, La Liga and the Premier League as well as playing in a World Cup. But he also explains that he often focuses on the negatives of his game rather than looking back at his phenomenal achievements. And in another fascinating and wide-ranging chat, Mateo also talks about how the dynamic in the changing rooms has evolved over the years, scoring spectacular goals and some of the great players he’s shared the pitch with.

Robbie Earle and Robbie Mustoe recap the main talking points from Matchweek 33 in the Premier League

Vicky Gomersall is joined by Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill and The Sunday Times Chief Football Writer Jonathan Northcroft to reflect on the weekend’s sporting action. We begin by looking at the Premier League title race, with Liverpool in touching distance to secure the title. How important will Virgil Van Dijk’s new contract be? Gary believes Van Dijk is the greatest centre back since Vincent Kompany, but do Liverpool need to spend big in summer? Next, Daniel Khan sits down with Ruud Van Nistlerooy to talk about Leicester’s difficult position, the standards being set and plans for the future. Elsewhere, we discuss the race for the Champions League spots, looking at Aston Villa’s 4-1 win at home over Newcastle and Olly Watkin’s post-match interview, claiming he was “fuming” to be left on the bench against PSG. Gary and Jonathan both think Forest are the team to miss out on the Champions League for next season. Also, Joe Thomlinson interviews Jurrien Timber about the win over Real Madrid and a personal battle won against Vinicius Jr, and the elite level defence Arsenal have created this season. We then discuss Tottenham, after they’ve reached the Europa League semi-finals. Gary thinks Ange is a man who looks like he’s feeling the pressure and believes a lot of Tottenham fans think he’ll be gone win or lose in the semi-finals. We end with two more interviews; Jamie Carragher sits down with Arne Slot to talk about Salah and Van Dijk’s contract renewals, Trent being back on the pitch, and the title coming to a close. And James Cole chats with Mikel Arteta about defeating Madrid, and carrying form in to the league.
