Summary

Jimbo’s joined by Natalie Gedra, Tom Williams and Duncan Alexander to run the rule over a breathtaking midweek of Champions League action. It turns out Declan Rice is a free-kick specialist?! Lamine Yamal is ludicrously good at football and the man old enough to be his dad Robert Lewandowski isn’t too bad either. PSG prove why they’ve been touted as favourites to win this competition after bamboozling a spirited Villa, plus dark horses Inter take an advantage back to the San Siro. Away from all the European fun, another big week of Premier League football awaits. Can Liverpool get back on track against West Ham? And is Mo Salah staying after all?! Can Manchester City get over their recent Crystal Palace hoodoo? Is this the weekend Newcastle take advantage in the race for a top five finish? And can Chelsea avoid the indignity of letting Ipswich do the double over them? Plus - how should decorated assistant referee Darren Cann sign off from his final professional appearance after officiating over 1000 matches? Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Arsenal 3-0 Real Madrid (05.00) • PART 2: PSG 3-1 Aston Villa with Julien Laurens (15.00) • PART 3a: Bayern Munich 1-2 Inter Milan (25.10) • PART 3b: Barcelona 4-0 Borussia Dortmund with Pol Ballús (30.15) • PART 4: The Premier League weekend (38.40) Learn more about your ad choices.
