About this episode

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to reflect on two Champions League semi-finals this week. First, Real Madrid go through at the expense of Bayern Munich, before we chat about Borussia Dortmund beating PSG – with some discussion of Kylian Mbappe and his time in Paris. Then attention turns to Arsenal, and we talk about William Saliba and how our view of him as Arsenal fans is very different from many in France, Kai Havertz and his development, Martin Odegaard, some broad thoughts on the season as a whole and lots more.
