  • Could it be another Arsenal Barcelona final? Plus McTominay sends Napoli top

    Could it be another Arsenal Barcelona final? Plus McTominay sends Napoli top
    Apr 29 2025
    Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Italian football expert Max Callegari alongside him as we gear up for a midweek of tantalising European semi-final ties. PSG warmed up for their trip to the Emirates with a surprise 3-1 defeat by Nice on Friday night - which ended their hopes of an unprecedented unbeaten Ligue 1 season. So, is Luis Enrique’s side ready to bounce back against an Arsenal team that beat them back in October? It’s not going much better for Inter Milan ahead of their visit to Barcelona, succumbing to a third straight defeat in the space of a week to see their hopes of a treble well and truly dashed. Can they get back on track against a Barca team basking in the glory of victory against their biggest rivals Real on Saturday night? Back on domestic shores, Marseille’s Roman holiday seems to be paying off! And there’s chaos, carnage and ice at the Copa del Rey final! And Scott McTominay can’t stop scoring! And Harry Kane could finally be about to win his first major silverware - but he won’t be on the pitch! Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Arsenal v PSG preview & Ligue 1 chatter after shock defeat to Nice (06.15) • PART 3: Barcelona v Inter preview & Copa del Rey carnage (14.25) • PART 4: Ligue 1 review - Inter’s week from hell as Napoli lead (29.55) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - Dortmund’s resurgence with Bayern on the brink (50.35) Learn more about your ad choices.
