Ligue 1

A duet this week as Phil and Jez mull over the French teams' performances in Europe, what's happened in Ligue 1, who's passing to each other at PSG, and what exactly Monaco think they're doing considering firing Leonardo Jardim.

Four teams have two wins in Ligue 1 so far - including both of the promoted teams, as Nimes and Reims make it clear that they aren't just here to make up the numbers. Kris, Jez and Phil look back at an interesting weekend that saw PSG continuing to play the kids, OL being stymied, Marseille struggling against les Crocos, and Bordeaux losing while having a fairly significant manager issue.

This week Phil is joined by two special guests. First, Andrew Gibney pops back to FFW Towers for a look at how Lille managed to get away with that, and the rest of the Ligue 1 positions up for grabs as we head into the last day of the season. Then, new signing Conor Ketley is on hand to discuss the UNFP awards, PSG's latest managerial throw of the dice, and OM's chances in the Europa League final against Atletico Madrid.

Phil, Jez and Rich discuss everything that has happened in France over the last week. This includes PSG winning their fifth title in six years beating Monaco 7-1, and OM putting in a massive home performance to get themselves into the Europa League semi-finals. They also look at Les Herbiers' win over Chambly to reach the final of the Coupe de France, where they will face PSG, and forward to the key games of the weekend.

Phil is joined by Rich and Jez to discuss all the happenings in Ligue 1, the race for Europe, the relegation battle, and a look at how well Rennes are doing to get up to fifth. Also, Marseille and their injury list have a Europa League quarter final second leg against RB Leipzig on Thursday.

Kris is joined by Rich and Phil to discuss the Coupe de la Ligue final, which PSG won 3-0 against a disappointing Monaco. They also look at some key games in Ligue 1 at the weekend, including Marseille winning away at Dijon, Strasbourg and Metz drawing 2-2, and Lille succumbing at home to Amiens 1-0. There was a mild snafu as we lost connection part-way through, so there's a break in the audio - sadly we don't get to hear Rich's full breakdown of Strasbourg v Metz, but you get most of it. Sorry about that.

Half a game of football took place between City and Chelsea this weekend while the Seagulls heaped yet more misery onto Arsenal.

After last week's Champions League and Europa League games, Kris is joined by Jez and Phil to round up PSG's loss in Madrid and the rest of the European action as well as Ligue 1 over the weekend.
