It may sound counterintuitive, but Mikel Arteta might, before what is arguably the biggest Arsenal match in 20 years, need to adopt some things from a team that just lost 4-0 to our opponents.

Both Arsenal and Bayern are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Bavarians playing out a 4-3 thriller with Real Madrid, winning the tie 6-4 on aggregate to set up a semi-final against PSG. Will that tie be the real final? It’s not a thrill-fest for Arsenal, but a 0-0 draw with Sporting CP means they’re through 1-0 on aggregate. Get ready for Arteta v Simeone! The Gunners will play Atletico Madrid in two weeks.

Arsenal have a problem in attack right now, even if they are just about scraping through most games, and that’s surely something Mikel Arteta will look to address this summer.

⚽ Champions League latest, 8pm BST kick-off (first leg 0-2) ⚽ Atlético Madrid v Barcelona – updates | Live scoreboard When Warren Zaïre-Emery ran the show as a 17-year-old in a 3-0 win against Milan, Thierry Henry said “the sky is the limit” for the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder. His stratospheric rise led him too close to the sun, though, and the crash back down to Earth was a rude one. But he has since dusted himself off. Liverpool Van Dijk, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jones. Paris Saint-Germain Nuno Mendes, Kvaratskhelia.

Following their painful defeat in the first leg, Liverpool face PSG in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, hoping for a much-needed comeback. As a result, fans are keeping a close eye on Mohamed Salah’s status, as his offensive contributions could prove vital. Despite the defeat in the first leg, Liverpool will be aiming for a long-awaited comeback against PSG in the 2025–26 Champions League quarterfinal second leg. Unlike the previous match, they will need to impose a dominant attacking display to overturn the two-goal deficit. Because of this, fans are closely monitoring Mohamed Salah’s status for today’s game, as his experience and attacking quality could prove decisive for the Reds. Arne Slot has decided to bench again Mohamed Salah for the Reds today. While the veteran is in top form to make a difference against PSG, the head coach has decided to bet for a different set-up. Without his goal-scoring ability and explosive pace needed, Liverpool are expecting to counting on Hugo Ekitike‘s scoring prowess. Without the Egyptian, the Reds could rely on Hugo Ekitike, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Florian Wirtz in attack. With this setup, they could look to exploit PSG by targeting the large spaces in behind their defense. With this being the only competition they still aspire to win, Liverpool arrive fully motivated, opting for a high-risk approach—they have little to lose, but a lot to gain. Paris Saint-Germain come in as clear favorites to secure their place in the Champions League semifinals. Not only did they dominate offensively, but they also disrupted any progression from the Reds through an intense high press. In addition, coach Luis Enrique keeps his entire roster intact, which could allow him to stick to a very similar game plan, aiming to maintain control throughout the match. Mohamed Salah of Liverpool Liverpool lineup vs PSG Liverpool face PSG with several players out of the squad. Coach Arne Slot will be without Alisson Becker, Conor Bradley, Wataru Endo, Giovanni Leoni, Stefan Bajcetic, and Curtis Jones. Despite this, the Reds are banking on a comeback, counting on Hugo Ekitike and Dominik Szoboszlai to lead the offense, while Van Dijk and Gravenberch will be tasked with providing overall stability to the team. The Reds will lineup as follows: Giorgi Mamardashvili; Jeremie Frimpong, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister; Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz; Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak. PSG lineup vs Liverpool Unlike the Reds, PSG arrive with few absences in their squad, with only Fabian Ruiz and Quentin Ndjantou out. As a result, coach Luis Enrique has most of his roster available, so he could stick to a similar approach: An attacking approach with high pressure. To that end, the presence of Desiré Doué will be key, as will Vitinha and João Neves, who effectively stifle Liverpool’s offense. The French side will play as follows: Matvey Safonov; Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Warren Zaire-Emery, Joao Neves; Desiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Liverpool will be aiming to stage a miraculous comeback when they take on Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at Anfield on Tuesday night

Jimbo is once again alongside Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballus, James Horncastle and Tom Williams to discuss all things European football. Barcelona beat local rivals Espanyol 4-1 to go nine points clear at the top of La Liga after Real Madrid stumble to a 1-1 draw with Girona. How might all this affect this week’s Champions League Quarter Final second legs? There’s no game to impact PSG, as they’re given the weekend off in France to focus on beating Liverpool. No such let-off for Monaco, who are hammered 4-1 by PSG’s neighbours Paris FC. In Germany, Bayern set a single-season scoring record with an emphatic 5-0 win at St Pauli, and Union Berlin's Marie-Louise Eta becomes the first woman to manage a Bundesliga side. And in Italy, it’s goals galore between Como and Inter, with the league leaders winning 4-3 to stretch their lead over second placed Napoli to nine points.

The retired midfielder’s absence for the semi-final of Euro 2016 was the great ‘what-if’ of Welsh football, but even so his brilliant career managed to transform a footballing public for ever If some footballers take time to reach their potential, others seem to be the finished article before they’re able to drive. A teenage Aaron Ramsey was firmly in the latter camp. After only 11 league starts for Cardiff he had made his international debut for Wales against Denmark, turned down Manchester United in favour of Arsenal, and given Cardiff fans one of the great what-ifs of their club’s modern age after Dave Jones chose not to start him in the 2008 FA Cup final against Portsmouth, with Ramsey being the tender age of 17. Success-starved supporters who should know better will pin their hopes on to the narrowest of young shoulders and yet it all seemed so easy for the teenager from Caerphilly who was captain of his country by the age of 20, would go on to play in a World Cup and two European Championships, and this week retired as an icon of the Welsh game.

Dean Holdsworth joins us this week, taking us inside the madness of the Crazy Gang and the sheer brilliance (and chaos) of eccentric owner Sam Hammam, who once famously “kidnapped” him to get a deal over the line. Starting out at Watford alongside his brother David, Dean recalls their early days winding up the formidable youth team boss Tom Walley. But after struggling to break into the first team, his journey took an unexpected turn including the bizarre moment he ended up in another club’s team photo… without ever signing for them. Fast forward to the peak Crazy Gang years, and Holdsworth was flying, going toe-to-toe with the likes of Shearer, Ian Wright and Teddy Sheringham in the race for the Golden Boot. Add in stories of chaotic pre-seasons, a team bus being burned down, a terrifying knife incident at Goodison Park, and plenty of classic Vinnie Jones antics, and Holdsworth brings to life what it truly meant to be part of Wimbledon’s most infamous era. After it all, he reflects on his time at Bolton and his later role as chief executive, where he helped save the club from the brink of administration, only for things to turn sour in dramatic fashion.
