Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Jay Harris and Mark Carey to look back on two eventful Champions League semi-finals, and discuss what could be a pivotal weekend of Premier League action. Arsenal will play PSG in the Champions League Final in Budapest at the end of May. The Gunners overcame Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg at the Emirates, winning the tie 2-1 on aggregate. They’ll meet last year’s winners PSG who needed a different kind of performance from last week’s goal-glut to get past Bayern Munich. It finished 1-1 in Bavaria, with the Parisians winning 6-5 on aggregate. Luis Enrique is now looking to become only the second manager in the Champions League era to win the competition two years in a row. Meanwhile, there are only three weekends left in the Premier League season. Manchester City need to beat Brentford to put the pressure on leaders Arsenal, who currently sit five points clear. The Gunners go away to West Ham, who start the weekend in the relegation zone, a point below Spurs who host Leeds on Monday. Produced by Charlie Jones & Xavi Bird RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Arsenal v PSG (03:00) • PART 2a: Bayern 1-1 PSG (8:00) • PART 2b: Arsenal 1-0 Atletico (25:00) • PART 3: Premier League title race + relegation battle (35:00) • PART 4a: Hearts 2-1 Rangers (53:00) • PART 4b: Rest of the Premier League (56:00) Hosted on Acast.

Who’s going through to the Champions League Final + Inter win Scudetto

Jimbo and the usual team of James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor sit down to discuss all things European football and look ahead to those all-important Champions League semi-final second legs. Inter are Italian Champions once again. A 2-0 win over Parma confirms the Serie A title with three games to go. Second-placed Napoli are now 12 points adrift after a 0-0 draw at Como. In Spain, Barcelona now only need one point to confirm the La Liga title and, as fate would have it, their next game is Real Madrid! If Barca avoid defeat, it would be the first time a team has won the title in El Clasico. Elsewhere, Atletico make 11 changes in preparation for their second leg against Arsenal, but still win 2-0 in Valencia. Both PSG and Bayern drop domestic points in between their second leg. Bayern have already won the title, but PSG’s nearest rivals Lens can only draw 1-1 with Nice so it’s as you were in the race for Ligue 1. Will we get another nine-goal thriller in Munich on Wednesday? Will we get goals in North London on Tuesday? All this plus Moments of the Week and Arsenal’s floppy cannon. Produced by Lucy Oliva and Xavi Bird. Part 1: Moments of the week (3:00) Part 2: Champions League semi-final preview (15:00) Part 3: Inter win Serie A (31:00) Part 4: Barca can win La Liga against Real (47:00) Part 5: PSG and Lens drop points in Ligue 1 title race (1:00:00) Part 6: Schalke are back in the Bundesliga (1:16:00) Hosted on Acast.

Madrid - What do Sinner & Kostyuk's titles mean for the French Open mix?

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by The Athletic’s Matt Futterman to discuss finals weekend in Madrid and what it might all mean for Roland Garros. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 38:00). We start with Jannik Sinner’s demolition of Alexander Zverev and what it told us about their match up and the gap between Sinner and everyone else in the field in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz. Why was Zverev so poor in the final? Is Sinner in a mix of one at Roland Garros? And who or what might be his biggest obstacles? Part two - WTA (38:01 - 1:05:01). We discuss Marta Kostyuk winning the biggest title of her career over Mirra Andreeva, the keys to that victory, and whether this puts her in contention to win in Paris. Plus, can Andreeva learn to do that really hard thing of separating self-worth from results, and why does The Mix feel bigger on the women’s side? Part three - Rome preview (1:05:02 - 1:22:11) Full details of the Mike Dickson Award can be found here. Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠ Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
