Jimbo welcomes Michael Cox, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams into the studio with high-stakes drama everywhere you look.

Real Madrid break Atletico hearts again on penalties in the Champions League, with all the post-match discussion centred on Julian Alvarez’s double-touch penalty disallowed by VAR.

PSG are also victorious on penalties at Anfield. Hear about the heroics of Vitinha and Donnurumma, plus why PSG can take advantage of other teams’ exhaustion. Or will Marco Asensio come back to bite them in the next round?

Next up for Liverpool, the Carabao Cup final against Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday. George Caulkin makes the case for Eddie Howe’s Magpies to finally end the club’s trophy drought.

In the Premier League, there’s Ruud van Nistelrooy in the dug-out yet again for Leicester v Man United, as well as Arsenal v Chelsea and Man City v Brighton.

Plus so-called journalists, pigs in alleys and being out for the rest of the season
