After a week of European competition that was both the best and worst of times, Kris, Jez and Phil look back at PSG's capitulation against Manchester United, Rennes' great result against Arsenal, and the weekend's results in Ligue 1 - and also forwards to Lyon's trip to Barcelona.

Scheduling conflicts forced the boys into an unconventional episode that split them up a little bit. First, Brad and Mike discuss Tottenham, Champions League, and some Premier League and then, Mike and Jimmy talk about Manchester United, Ajax, and a tiny bit of MLS. But the treat of the episode is an interview (@31:50) with long time Wolverhampton Wanderers fan, and co-founder of Wolves USA (@WWFCUSA), Chris Wood (@WWFCOHIO). He joins us to tell us what it's like to be a Wolves fan in America.

Alexi and Mosse discuss the frustrating nature of the hand-ball rule and other rule changes in the State of the Union (2:28). Also, a study revealing Cristiano Ronaldo's calm under pressure is unpacked in Mosse Makes the Case (20:27). Then, Josh Sargent's recent time at Werder Bremen, the USMNT's progression and Man United's managerial future are looked at in Ask Alexi (33:30). Finally, concerns for the USWNT heading into the summer, the return of MLS and Champions League favorites all headline The Back Three (44:52). Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys needed three attempts to record this episode. Our first take was probably best so you are left with our scraps; of which you WILL enjoy. Or else. We still manage to cover Tottenham, ManU, Newcastle, Almiron, Arsenal, and Champions League in this abbreviated episode. Please drop us a line on Twitter if you are getting any enjoyment out of this at all.

Caley's throat was not up to two hours of podcasting this week so the only Double Pivot is on the subscription side, at patreon.com/doublepivot, where Mike and Michael give you their takes on Liverpool-Bayern and Caley wades into the stats to see what he can glean from them on games he did not watch.
