About this episode
John Bennett is joined by Guillem Balague, Julien Laurens and Mina Rzouki. After another memorable week in the Champions League, the team unpick all the big talking points. Do Barcelona need to tweak their style of play? And with a Classico on Sunday, could their season quickly unravel after the defeat in Milan? The team discuss Yann Sommer and Francesco Acerbi after Inter Milan reached their second final in three years – and cast an early eye ahead to the final after PSG knocked out Arsenal. Julien reveals he is already turning into Father Christmas as requests for tickets come his way – but is starting to feel nervous about the big match in Munich. With Paris FC winning promotion to Ligue 1, Julien explains why it will be a friendly – and very, very local - derby when they play PSG next season, and Mina discusses the super tight race for a Champions League spot in Italy.
