Summary

Jimbo welcomes Charlie Eccleshare, Tom Williams and Liam Tharme into the studio after the conclusion of the Champions League knock-out play-offs. Man City are taken apart by a Kylian Mbappé hat-trick at the Bernabeu. The chase for Champions League qualification resumes with the visit of Liverpool at the Etihad on Sunday. Liverpool draw 2-2 on a Wednesday night again, this time at Villa Park. James Pearce reviews that game and looks ahead to a game with previously the Reds’ fiercest rivals for silverware. Elsewhere in the Champions League, it was a disastrous week for Serie A with four Italian clubs in the competition becoming just one and some generational head losses. Plus a defence of Brendan Rodgers, the first goal at Bramley-Moore Dock and what Tottenham want everyone to call them. Produced by Charlie Jones.
