Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Michael Cox alongside him to get all warmed up for the mouthwatering Champions League quarter-final first legs. Arsenal v Real, Bayern v Inter, Barca v Dortmund & PSG v Villa await in a fascinating midweek of cup action. We look ahead to each of the ties. On the domestic front, the La Liga title race took another turn as Real Madrid were stunned by Valencia - while Barca were held by Betis but still extended their lead at the top to four points. But was it an opening they’ll rue not taking full advantage of come the end of the season? PSG officially wrapped up the Ligue 1 title with their 1-0 win over Angers - as their quest to go unbeaten continues. Behind them the fascinating race to be the best of the rest continues, with Marseille picking up a much-needed three points while Lyon and Strasbourg put the pressure on Monaco. In the Bundesliga, Bayern showed their mettle to come from behind to beat a stubborn Augsburg 3-1, their first game since the news broke that club legend Thomas Müller is set to leave at the end of the season. Plus - Dortmund warmed up for their trip to Barcelona with an impressive 4-1 win at Freiburg - but with injury news that could scupper their chances… And over in Serie A, Inter surrendered a two-goal lead against lowly Parma,Igor Tudor fires up Juve as they put an end to Roma’s seven-match winning streak, and Lazio go route one as they reignite their hopes of a top four finish.

After the Manchester Derby turned into a damp squib, Mark Chapman, Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Michael Brown discuss whether over-coaching, micro-management and a fear making mistakes has become an "illness in the game". They also ask why derbies have seemingly lost their spark. And after Ivan Juric left Southampton following their relegation, Glen de la Cour from the Total Saints podcast joins the MNC to discuss where the Saints go from here. Topics: 03:14 - What next for Southampton? 12:40 - Glen de la Cour from the Total Saints podcast 20:01 - Why won't promoted clubs adapt their style of play to suit the Premier League? 34:08 - Is modern Premier League football rubbish? 40:19 - Have derbies lost their spark? 48:44 - Where do you draw the line between coaching and micro-management?

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? Plus, we preview the huge midweek Champions League clashes that await Arsenal and Aston Villa, with Real Madrid and PSG lying in wait in their quarterfinal first legs. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle recap all the main stories from a busy Matchweek 31 in the Premier League

In the latest episode of our mini-series on how to win the Champions League, Andy Robertson and Alisson look back on Liverpool’s win in the 2019 edition.

We get insight into how Jurgen Klopp inspired his team to win the tournament, why he was a father-figure to the squad and what it was like to receive a Klopp hug. They also explain why it was so emotional on the pitch after the final victory over Tottenham in Madrid.

There really is only one place to begin this episode, and it’s with Arminia Bielefeld’s 2-1 win over Bayer Leverkusen to get through to the DFB-Pokal final for the first time in its history (03:42). Musa and Ryan chat about the third-tier side knocking out the current holders, the fourth Bundesliga side they’ve beaten on their way to the final, and their opponents—Stuttgart—who beat Leipzig 3-1 to head to Berlin. In Spain, it was Real Madrid and Barcelona who progressed to set up a Clásico Copa del Rey final (13:10). Real Madrid served up an eight-goal thriller against Real Sociedad on Tuesday, whereas Barcelona were efficient in their 1-0 win at Atleti on Wednesday.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Jay Harris into the studio with the Premier League back in full swing. Liverpool maintain their 12 point lead with a Merseyside derby victory, despite the failure of the officials to send off Everton’s James Tarkowski. Do tough guys get an easier time from referees? Bukayo Saka scores on his return for Arsenal but they lose Gabriel and potentially more defenders to injury. How will they cope when Real Madrid visit the Emirates next week? One of the Premier League’s fastest players Anthony Elanga scores the winner for Forest against Man United and it looks like a very exciting end of the season for Villa.

Jimbo’s joined by Pol Ballús, Julien Laurens, Rory Smith & Seb Stafford-Bloor as the domestic action returns across Europe with the end of the season in sight. Inter remain three points clear at the top of the Serie A table after their 2-1 win over Udinese, while Romelu Lukaku scored the 400th goal of his career in Napoli’s vital victory over struggling Milan to keep the pressure on the leaders. Over in Spain, three points is also the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid - who both recorded wins with braces from Mbappe and Lewandowski. Plus, Antony’s Betis just can’t stop winning in a fiery Seville derby. PSG continued to romp towards the Ligue 1 title - which is now all but mathematically sealed - with an emphatic 6-1 victory at Saint-Etienne, while Strasbourg are on their best run in six years after their impressive 4-2 win over Lyon. Elsewhere, Marseille suffered a hat-trick of defeats as they were beaten 3-1 by lowly Reims - their first league victory since November. And in Germany, defeat for Leipzig at Gladbach spelled the end for Marco Rose, with Thomas Tuchel’s former assistant Zsolt Low installed as interim boss. Harry Kane’s a step closer to winning his first title as he made it 58 goals in 57 Bundesliga appearances in Bayern’s 3-2 win over St Pauli. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

On Tuesday's Football Daily, Phil Egan brings you a flavour of this morning's Off The Ball Breakfast interview with Sean Dyche. We hear from the former Burnley boss regarding his immediate future in the game, and his praise for his ex-Everton captain Seamus Coleman. Arne Slot's addressed those stories linking Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, and discussed his squad's fatigue levels. Saoirse Noonan shows her assertive side in discussing her Republic of Ireland WNT place with Carla Ward. Manchester United's part-owners settle a case with New Zealand Rugby.

In this episode of The Fan Debate brought to you by Sky Bet, Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are joined by football finance expert Kieran Maguire. We get an update on the ongoing case surrounding Manchester City. If the club is found guilty, what could the future of the Premier League look like? The team debates what a fair punishment would be and how it could reshape the league’s landscape. The conversation then shifts to Liverpool, as lifelong fan Gareth shares his perspective on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid. Are Liverpool fans being unfair in their criticism of the transfer? Manchester United’s midfield also comes under the spotlight, with questions raised about how the club can get the best out of Kobbie Mainoo following his dip in form under Rúben Amorim. What has changed in his performances, and can he rediscover his best form in Amorim's system? The team also discusses Aston Villa’s balancing act between the Champions League and FA Cup, Arsenal’s ongoing striker dilemma, and who Mikel Arteta should target in the summer transfer window.

The Timing Game describes a playing philosophy in which the right moment of an action is crucial. It not only allows pressing traps to be reversed but also enables teams to break down deep defensive blocks with precision. In the Premier League, Brighton’s then-manager Roberto De Zerbi took this tactical approach to a new level. […]

Before moving on to some big results from the weekend, Musa gives his thoughts on Thomas Tuchel’s first two games as the England men’s manager (04:23), before he and Ryan touch on the FA Cup quarter finals (11:32). They then head to La Liga and Serie A, where the title races seemed to lose contenders this weekend. In La Liga (17:21), Atlético's draw with Espanyol continued a run of patchy form that has seen them fall six points behind Real Madrid and nine behind Barcelona, both of whom won this weekend. In Serie A (32:45), despite dramatic ends to both games, Napoli and Inter won, while Atalanta lost a second game in a row—dropping from the top two.

Elsewhere, Juliette Ferrington chats with Cody Gakpo about recovering from the intensity of the midweek Champions League clash with PSG and Liverpool’s resilience this season.

On Wednesday night Atletico Madrid found a new way to suffer Champions League heartbreak at the hands of Real Madrid. Diego Simeone's side were knocked out courtesy of penalties after Julian Alvarez had his effort rule out for a 'two-touch' kick. From VAR, to penalty shootouts, to near misses, Atleti have once again failed to find a way past their neighbours. So why is there always something stopping Simeone’s and his team from getting over the line in this competition? Adam Leventhal is joined by The Athletic's Tomas Hill Lopez-Menchero and Phil Hay to reflect on a chaotic night at the Metropolitano, discuss Atleti's 'El Pupas' curse and analyse how Simeone lifts his side for the La Liga title run-in.
