The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens into the pod ahead of a massive midweek of quarter-final action.
Bayern are beaten again ahead of their trip to Arsenal in the Champions League. Have they ever been at a lower ebb heading into a quarter-final? Is it damage limitation for Thomas Tuchel?
A well rested Real Madrid take on holders Man City, Atletico and Dortmund are happy to be playing each other and one of our panel thinks PSG are heading all the way to the final.
All aboard the Bilbao barge as Athletic win their first trophy in 40 years. While Leverkusen are one win away from the Bundesliga title but might struggle to find somewhere to celebrate.
Plus Ajax’s biggest defeat ever and Fenerbahce’s Super Cup protest.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
