While both sides suffered second-leg defeats, it was PSG and Barcelona that progressed to the Champions League semifinals. Musa and Ryan begin at Villa Park, where Aston Villa beat PSG 3-2 on the night (02:33) and very nearly sent the game into extra time. Barcelona also had a scare at the Westfalenstadion (25:49), where they lost to Borussia Dortmund—thanks to a Serhou Guirassy hat trick—but ultimately did enough to push through, leaving Barça to face a clash with either Bayern or Inter.

Jimbo’s joined by Natalie Gedra, Tom Williams and Duncan Alexander to run the rule over a breathtaking midweek of Champions League action. It turns out Declan Rice is a free-kick specialist?! Lamine Yamal is ludicrously good at football and the man old enough to be his dad Robert Lewandowski isn’t too bad either.

Away from all the European fun, another big week of Premier League football awaits. Can Liverpool get back on track against West Ham? And is Mo Salah staying after all?! Can Manchester City get over their recent Crystal Palace hoodoo? Is this the weekend Newcastle take advantage in the race for a top five finish?

Jimbo's got Matt Davies-Adams, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers alongside him for a deep-dive into all the weekend's Premier League action. We struggled to stay awake through a thoroughly underwhelming goalless Manchester derby - but at least there's time to talk about Kevin De Bruyne being special. Liverpool's recent struggles continued as they were beaten 3-2 at Fulham with the help of some calamitous defending - is their season at risk ending on a sour note even if/ when they lift the Premier League trophy? Southampton were finally put out of their misery - becoming the first team ever to be relegated from the Premier League with seven games to spare. Elias Burke was at the Tottenham Stadium to see Spurs flatter to deceive again despite their 3-1 win. Wolves are all but mathematically safe and Vítor Pereira's out on the town, Palace v Brighton was ill-disciplined but good fun indeed - and is Mikel Arteta really the hottest manager in the top flight?

The 2 Robbies Recap Matchweek 30 of the 2024-2025 Premier League Season

Suj and James discuss the 9 games played so far in GW30 and it wasn't quite what many may have hoped it would be, as Mo Salah blanked, all Crystal Palace assets blanked as they got a late qualiser to draw at Southampton, Bournemouth lost to Ipswich and Manchester City strolled a 2-0 victory against Leicester. Rotation bit many, with some like Phil Foden benched, though Bukayo Saka returned as a substitute, but Justrin Kluivert didn't make the squad at all.But fun with flags (does not) continue, with Alexander Isak and Kieran Trippier having potential groin issues and Arsenal's Gabriel set for an extended absence after pulling his hamstring. Replacing Gabriel is high on the agenda, with teammate William Saliba and players with upcoming doubles high on the list of players to target and Newcastle assets will feel right for many looking for additions this week. But the biggest result for many last night was at The Amex, where Aston Villa's victory at Brighton takes away the bonus point potential for Unai Emery and Oliver Glasner, who were both set to be popular for those about to activate the Assistant Manager Chip, and James is among those who wanted to go there... so what now?
