The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo welcomes Rory Smith, Raphael Honigstein and Duncan Alexander into the pod in a week packed full of Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League action.
Liverpool are eased out of the Champions League by Real Madrid, ending their trophy hopes in the process. Why do Jurgen Klopp’s side need everything to be perfect and why can’t they win when playing badly?
Five-star Haaland leads Man City to victory over Leipzig. And Napoli are one of three Italian teams in the quarter-finals. Hear why Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia and co are the saviours of European football.
Speaking of quarter-finals, the FA Cup returns with Kompany returning to Man City and League Two Grimsby looking to upset darlings of the pod Brighton.
In the Premier League, an under pressure Patrick Vieira returns to his old club, league leaders Arsenal, as the historic bun fight at the bottom of the table continues.
Plus pizza, Crufts and crew necks v turtlenecks.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
