The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo are spread out across Europe as we reach crunch time in the continent.
Man City host Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final. Is it a coin toss as to who goes through. Meanwhile Inter have the advantage of Milan. Romelu Lukaku apparently has a 6/10 chance of staying at Inter, while Rafael Leao will probably feature for Milan at 60% fitness.
Barcelona are La Liga champions for the first time in 4 years, although they’re chased off the pitch after winning against city rivals Espanyol.
It’s still neck and neck in the Bundesliga with Bayern and Dortmund dishing out drubbings, as Thomas Muller’s future continues to dominate discussion in Bavaria.
Plus the anti-homophobia campaign in Ligue 1, Sampdoria heading for insolvency and of course, Eurovision.
Produced by Ben Green, Jay Beale and Charlie Jones.
