About this episode

John Bennett is joined by Chris Sutton, the stars of the Euro Leagues podcast - ESPN’s Julien Laurens and European football expert Rafa Honigstein and commentator Conor McNamara, as PSG book a date with Arsenal in this year’s Champions League final, after beating Bayern Munich.

They discuss the magic of superstar Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the favourites for this year’s final in Budapest and the tantalising clash of styles between PSG’s fearsome attack and Arsenal’s impenetrable defence.
