    Penalty heartbreak for Arsenal as PSG go back-to-back

    Gary and Micah review the Champions League final as Arsenal had their dreams dashed in a penalty shootout and PSG became only the second team to win the competition in back-to-back seasons Did the referee get the big penalty calls right? Was it a victory for PSG's style of football over Arsenal's attempt to rely on their defence? And what sort of player does Arteta need to add to his squad in order to go one better next season? We also react to the news of Liverpool deciding to part ways with Arne Slot and reportedly replace him with Andoni Iraola. Have they been harsh on Slot considering he won the Premier League just 12 months ago? Or are they getting a clear upgrade in Iraola after the brilliant job he did with Bournemouth this season? Plus there's congratulations for Crystal Palace and Aston Villa after their European triumphs and Gary & Micah tell us all about their weekend rubbing shoulders with some genuine A-list stars The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

    Trophy for Arsenal, Heartbreak for West Ham & Tuchel's England Shocks

    Gary and Alan break down a dramatic final day of the Premier League season. West Ham tried their best to survive by beating Leeds 3-0, but it wasn't enough as Tottenham beat Everton to avoid relegation on the final day. So the Hammers are down for the first time in 14 years. Arsenal finally got their hands on the trophy after 22 years, with a record 19 goals from corners and 19 clean sheets. They covered Pep Guardiola's emotional final goodbye at City, Mohamed Salah's record-breaking Liverpool farewell, and Bruno Fernandes making assists history. And then there's Sunderland. Back in the top flight for one season and now heading to Europe for the first time in 53 years. Thomas Tuchel named his England World Cup squad. Cole Palmer, Jarrod Bowen, Morgan Gibbs-White, Phil Foden and Harry Maguire all left out. Gary and Alan talk through the big calls and pick who they would have taken instead.

    Jose Mourinho to calm the chaos at the Bernabeu?

    Real Madrid's shambolic season has featured Tchouaméni and Valverde fined for scrapping, Xabi Alonso sacked, a underwhelming caretaker spell from Alvaro Arbeloa, fans booing the players, no trophies, and a distant second place finish - so naturally the man to bring order to the chaos is...Jose Mourinho? Gary and Alex Aljoe look at the latest coming from the Bernabeu as Mourinho looks set to return, but he may have to wait for Florentino Perez to be re-elected as President first. To add insult to injury the World Cup will be the first not to feature any Real Madrid players in the Spain squad. We look at the reaction to this news, in particular from disgruntled Dean Huijsen. We also present our very own TRIF La Liga end of season awards. Spoiler: there's not much joy for Real Madrid there either. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

    World Cup Favourites, England’s Forward Problem & No Room For Bellingham?

    Could there really be a world where Jude Bellingham doesn’t start for England at the World Cup this summer? With Thomas Tuchel favouring Morgan Rogers in the number 10 role so far, is Bellingham facing a place on the bench? There are also big questions up front. Who steps in as backup to Harry Kane? Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dominic Solanke were both given opportunities against Uruguay but failed to impress, while Ollie Watkins hasn’t quite hit top form this season. Does this point to a wider decline in traditional number nines in the English game? Plus, Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards pick their World Cup favourites and assess where England really stand among the contenders. The Rest Is Football is powered by Fuse Energy.

    James Milner: Record Breaker 

    What was it really like playing under Jürgen Klopp during that era-defining rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester City? What kind of manager was he behind the scenes? How difficult was it to keep his place at Manchester City when big-money signings in his position arrived summer after summer? What were Alan Shearer and Micah Richards really like as teammates? Gary is joined by the most capped Premier League player ever, James Milner. From becoming the league’s youngest-ever goalscorer at the time to still playing in the Premier League in his 40s, he shares memories of playing alongside David Silva at Manchester City, his special bond with close friend Diogo Jota, and the mentality that kept him at the elite level for decades.
