Semi Final

Beware, Gunners!

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! While Barcelona’s night at the Metropolitano was pretty well summed up by the accompanying image of poor Fermín López shipping six studs in the mush, Lamine Yamal’s cross in the buildup should be framed and hung in the Louvre. Using a minimum of backlift, the preposterously precocious 18-year-old had arced the ball directly into the path of the midfielder with the outside of his left boot, only for López to be denied by a splendid Juan Musso save that left the already bandaged Barça midfielder drenched in claret. Had López scored, Barcelona would have gone 3-0 up on the night and ahead in the tie, having already restored parity courtesy of goals scored by Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres in a blistering and blood-drenched opening 30 minutes. Moments later, Charlton Athletic academy graduate Ademola Lookman scored the decisive goal that sent Atlético Madrid into Bigger Cup semi-finals, much to the not entirely surprising delight of their head coach Diego Simeone. “Playing in a [Bigger Cup] semi-final, how wonderful,” he honked before an appointment with Arsenal or Sporting. “We’ll go there with all our enthusiasm and faith.

Premier League big hitters Manchester City and Chelsea managed to avoid each other in the FA Cup semi-finals. City were drawn against Arsenal’s conquerors Southampton, while Chelsea will come…

Jimbo's got Michael Cox, Matt Davies-Adams and Tom Williams alongside him to look back on two incredibly dramatic semi-final clashes at Euro 2025. It's England and Spain who progress to Sunday's final in Basel after a double dose of extra time - with the Lionesses relying on super-subs Michelle Agyemang & Chloe Kelly yet again to turn things around against Italy, while for the world champions it was the best player in the world Aitana Bonmatí who produced a moment of magic in their 1-0 victory over Germany. We've got the latest transfer news - with Ekitike officially in at Liverpool, Gyökeres all but officially in at Arsenal - and Alexander Isak NOT joining up with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of east Asia due to injury... Elsewhere, we mark the 25th anniversary of surely the most controversial transfer in history - when Luís Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid, on this day back in the year 2000. And it’s the second Inter Totally semi-final with Julien Laurens and Tom Williams duking it out for a place in the final... Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Euro SF chaos - England 2-1 Italy (AET) & Germany 0-1 Spain (AET) (02.45) • PART 2a: On This Day - Figo does the unthinkable and swaps Barca for Real (23.25) • PART 2b: Transfer latest - Ekitike, Gyökeres, Isak and questionable video (26.15) • PART 3: Inter Totally Cup - Tom Williams v Julien Laurens (41.30) Hosted on Acast.

Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy are here to marvel at Lamine Yamal’s performance, even if Marcus does end up comparing him to MacGyver.

Suj and James discuss last night's Semi Final victory for Spain against France, which was headlined by a brilliant goal from Lamine Yamal. How good is the young Barcelona attacker and how good could he be? There's discussion on regrets for France, if England or The Netherlands can realistically expect to trouble Spain on Sunday and there's a preview of tonight's game in Dortmund including selection thoughts, tactical notes and whether the lads think England can get the job done. Plus, how night 1 of the Semis in Euro Fantasy went and there's reaction to yesterday's sad news that there will be no Sky Fantasy Football next season.

Ste is here with another Redmen Weekly Episode as we look back at some of the Redmen Plus Shows from the week. To kick things off we have a clip from our Biased Football Podcast where Chris, Chloe and Dan looked at Timo Werner joining Spurs as well as Eric Dier joining Bayern Munich. Next, Ste was joined by Neil Jones for Journo Insight as they reacted to the news that Jordan Henderson desperately wants to leave Saudi Arabia and Ajax are leading the race to sign him. Then we have our Final Word show where Ste was joined by Jamie and Lewis as they reflect on Liverpool's 2-1 win over Fulham in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi final. Our final clip for this week is from Dan's Transfer Insight with Lewis Steele as they look at the potential Centre Back signings Liverpool may do in the Transfer Window. Hosted on Acast.
