Harry Kane

Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Archie Rhind-Tutt and Jonathan Liew to discuss Wednesday’s Champions League action On today’s pod: a Champions League classic in Munich. Bayern beat Real Madrid 4-3 on the night, 6-4 on aggregate, in a game that had just about everything. The panel try to unpack it, from Manuel Neuer’s early mistake to Arda Güler’s brilliance, Harry Kane reaching 50 goals for the season and the chaos that followed. But the big talking point: was that Eduardo Camavinga second yellow a turning point? And why do Real Madrid always seem to end up furious with the referee? Elsewhere, Arsenal are into the semi-finals. That’s the positive. But the panel ask: has there ever been a less enjoyable route to the last four? Are Arteta’s side controlling games, or just strangling them? With eight clean sheets, are they quietly brilliant defensively, or is this football that raises bigger existential questions about what the point of it all actually is? Plus: how do Arsenal approach the looming Premier League title decider at the Etihad? Elsewhere, there a huge Merseyside derby on the horizon, more questions around Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham, and news of a Football Weekly live show in New York.

Do you know how far back the EPL goes? The Premier League, as it exists today, only started in 1992. In the three decades since, it has produced some of the most remarkable individual and team performances in football history. But, for interest’s sake, here’s a deep dive into the history of the EPL for… The post EPL Records and History first appeared on Breaking The Lines.

The semi-finals are set after a dazzling meeting between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. But there was plenty more to talk about in the last eight Bayern Munich’s thrilling 4-3 win over Real Madrid on Wednesday, which gave them a 6-4 victory on aggregate and set up a semi-final meeting with PSG, was a stone-cold classic. If either of the semis is as good as Real and Bayern’s quarter-final, this season will have been blessed. Arda Güler showed off his brilliance on Wednesday, first with his presence of mind after Manuel Neuer’s mistake led to the opening goal and again from a free-kick in the 29th minute. Güler’s goals gave Madrid hope, but Harry Kane made another difficult finish look routine before Luis Díaz and Michael Olise’s late goals settled the tie. Bayern’s wing wizards were crucial in defeating the 15-time champions. This game had it all. That includes controversy, with a post-match scuffle set off by Madrid players enraged by Eduardo Camavinga’s dismissal for two quickfire yellow cards. Neuer, the hero of the first leg, had his blushes saved by his Bayern teammates, though one save from Kylian Mbappé was him at his best, combining reflexes with brute strength. Fine margins decided a battle of the giants.
