Jimbo is in the studio with Duncan Alexander, Natalie Gedra and Charlie Eccleshare after a mind-blowing Champions League midweek.
PSG dominate Liverpool and have all the shots but lose 1-0 thanks to an inspired performance from Alisson. Julien Laurens ponders whether this young team can go to Anfield and outplay the Reds again.
Art De Roche was in Eindhoven to see Arsenal secure a scarcely believable 7-1 win over PSV. Where did that come from and could we see it again at Old Trafford on Sunday?
Elsewhere, there are sensational goals at the Bernabeu as Real hold a narrow advantage over Atletico, while it’s a nightmare night for Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen against Kane and Kompany’s Bayern.
The Premier League weekend sees Forest host Man City in a big game for the top 4/5 race. Will Nuno be as happy as he was on Monday night?
Plus Raphinha, reverse scorpions and which managers could still play for their clubs?

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Matt Davies-Adams for company after an FA Cup 5th round weekend that has a bit of everything.
Holders Man United are knocked out on penalties at Old Trafford as their deficiencies are laid bare again. But for Fulham, could Marco Silva be about to earn some tangible reward for the phenomenal job he’s done?
Earlier on Sunday, Brighton are victorious at Newcastle after extra-time. It’s a truly costly afternoon for the Magpies as they lose Anthony Gordon and perhaps more players ahead of the Carabao Cup final.
Palace progress past Millwall but all the talk is dominated by the horror challenge on striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Similarly, Bournemouth’s win over Wolves sees plenty of discussion about the 8 minute VAR delay and the extent to which Matheus Cunha has just let Wolves down.
Plus Lampard’s Sky Blues, and IFAB’s new law on goalkeeper time-wasting.

Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the table to 13 points with a routine win over Newcastle. What records are in sight for Salah and the Reds?
The most impressive display of the week comes from Crystal Palace who hammer Villa 4-1, leaving our panel purring over the performance of Adam Wharton. And asking if Robin Olsen should have let children use his goal at half-time.
Manchester United claim most of the headlines off the pitch this week with INEOS making big cuts to the staff and the canteen.
And we ask could we be about to see a brand new name on the FA Cup trophy in May?

Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Rory Smith and Pol Ballús alongside him for all the latest continental chatter.
Friday afternoon’s Champions League draw presented some fascinating match-ups including Real v Atleti, Bayern v Bayer and PSG v Liverpool. We’ve got a closer look at all those ties with the round of 16 looming…
In La Liga, it was a rare weekend where all three title challengers registered three fairly comfortable wins! It leaves Barca and Real locked on 54 points at the top, with Atleti just a point behind.
Over in France there was plenty of drama on and off the pitch - with cowboy hats, calls of corruption and meltdowns caught on CCTV. But away from all that, the table shows that PSG have extended their lead at the top to 13 points after their 3-2 victory at Lyon.
Speaking of corruption - Slovenian ref Slavko Vincic was parachuted in to referee the Istanbul derby after a season marred by controversial officiating and allegations of foulplay. It was a rather eventful evening as Galatasaray said they would "initiate criminal proceedings" against Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho after claiming he made "racist statements" following the teams' 0-0 draw.
For a closer look at Serie A we’re joined by Sky Italia’s Filippo Benincampi - as Cesc’s Como got the better of Conte’s Napoli to cost them top spot, Inter taking full advantage with their 1-0 win over Genoa.
And in the Bundesliga, there were finally signs of life for Dortmund as Niko Kovac picked up his first league win courtesy of a four-goal haul from Serhou Guirassy, aided by super sub and Chelsea loanee Carney Chukwuemeka.

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, JJ Bull and Adrian Clarke for company after a pivotal weekend in the Premier League season.
Liverpool make light work of Man City at the Etihad, going 11 points clear at the top of the table. With 7 of their 11 remaining fixtures at Anfield, Liverpool will surely be worthy champions. But is City’s place in the top 4 or 5 under threat?
Arsenal are beaten at the Emirates by Graham Potter’s West Ham. Next up, as part of a full midweek programme, a trip to a Forest side beaten 4-3 at Newcastle on Sunday.
The bottom three all lose at home, each conceding 4 goals. It’s looking pretty bleak for any hopes of a relegation fight - has van Nistelrooy given up hope?
Plus an Edwards-inspired Burnley, a Jackson-deficient Chelsea and Amorim’s refusal to paper over cracks.

Jimbo welcomes Charlie Eccleshare, Tom Williams and Liam Tharme into the studio after the conclusion of the Champions League knock-out play-offs.
Man City are taken apart by a Kylian Mbappé hat-trick at the Bernabeu. The chase for Champions League qualification resumes with the visit of Liverpool at the Etihad on Sunday.
Liverpool draw 2-2 on a Wednesday night again, this time at Villa Park. James Pearce reviews that game and looks ahead to a game with previously the Reds’ fiercest rivals for silverware.
Elsewhere in the Champions League, it was a disastrous week for Serie A with four Italian clubs in the competition becoming just one and some generational head losses.
Plus a defence of Brendan Rodgers, the first goal at Bramley-Moore Dock and what Tottenham want everyone to call them.

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Michael Cox for your weekly dose of European action.
We begin with the big F-bomb controversy which has taken La Liga by storm, Nabil Bentaleb’s dream return to action for Lille - and a look ahead to the all-important Champions League Knockout Round Play-off second legs, with Real v Man City topping the midweek billing.
Elsewhere in Spain, the costly red cards for Bellingham and Barrios meant Real and Atleti left the door wide open for Barcelona who faced Rayo Vallecano on Monday night (after we’d recorded) - and it turns out that Antony fella is actually quite good - after making in three goals in three games at new home Betis…
Over in Germany, it looks like Bayern Munich have one hand on the Bundesliga title after their goalless draw with closest rivals Bayer Leverkusen means the gap at the top of the table stays at eight points. Elsewhere the domestic misery continues to pile on Borussia Dortmund, beaten 2-0 by Bochum and sitting 11th in the league.
In Italy, Juventus continued their surge up the Serie A table with a 1-0 win over Inter in the Derby d'Italia. It means Simone Inzaghi’s side missed the chance to go top after leaders Napoli had fallen to their third consecutive draw, held 2-2 by Lazio.
And in Ligue 1, Fabian Ruiz bagged the only goal against Toulouse as PSG maintained their 10-point lead at the top of the table while Mika Biereth continued his remarkable start to life in Monaco with his second hat-trick in as many home games in their 7-1 thrashing of Nantes.

Liverpool make it past Wolves to stay 7 points clear but it’s a very edgy finish at Anfield. Are nerves setting in with the finishing line in sight and with trips to Villa and Man City to come this week?
City themselves recover from defeat to Real Madrid to thrash Newcastle 4-0. Pol Ballus tries to give Pep and his players cause for optimism ahead of the trip to the Bernabeu.
Arsenal stay in touch with Liverpool after makeshift Mikel Merino comes good up front at Leicester. But Chelsea are embarrassed 3-0 at Brighton. How much will they miss Nicolas Jackson?
Plus the fabulous Fulham, Man United lose again and the bleak 3 months that awaits West Ham.

Jimbo’s got Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Julien Laurens and Rory Smith alongside him as the Champions League Knockout Round Play-offs get underway.
We start with a look at some of the big ties across Tuesday and Wednesday including the small matter of Manchester City v Real Madrid - for the fourth season in a row in Europe! Elsewhere, there’s the all-French affair between Brest and PSG, Celtic host Bayern Munich and Feyenoord v Milan just got a bit more interesting following the dismissal of Brian Priske…
Domestically, in Spain the La Liga title race is the gift that keeps on giving with just two points separating Real, Atleti and Barcelona at the top of the table. That’s after Carlo Ancelotti’s side were held in a 1-1 draw by their Madrid rivals, allowing Barca to close the gap with a 4-1 victory over Sevilla.
Over in Italy, it was a big Monday night in Milan as the Champions closed the gap to leaders Napoli to just one point after a 2-1 win over Fiorentina… just four nights after they’d played in Bergamot and la Viola had won 3-0 in a match that was rescheduled after the collapse of midfielder Edoardo Bove back in December. Napoli’s lead at the top stands at one point as they were held by Udinese.
In France, PSG continued their imperious Ligue 1 form with a 4-1 victory over Monaco, which included a first goal for the club for a certain Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Distant chasers Marseille and Nice both registered wins of their own to keep up their Champions League charge in what’s a very competitive chase for a top three spot.
And in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich prepared for their trip to Glasgow with a 3-0 win over Werder Bremen, stretching their lead at the top of the table to eight points. That’s because closest rivals Leverkusen let complacency creep in again as they were held to a goalless draw by Wolfsburg. Meanwhile, Dortmund have gone five home games without a win in the league - their worst run since 2006 - after their 2-1 defeat at the hands of Stuttgart.

Over in Italy, the spoils were shared in the Derby della Madonnina after Stefan De Vrij bagged a 93rd minute equaliser, while league leaders Napoli conceded a last-gasp goal of their own to draw 1-1 in Rome. Plus - it’s farewell, not goodbye to James as he embarks on an important project…
In Ligue 1, Ousmane Dembele just can’t stop scoring! He became the first PSG player ever to score hat-tricks in back-to-back games as they came from behind to beat Brest 5-2. So, what’s suddenly clicked for him in Paris?
There was yet another twist in the title race over in Spain as Real Madrid succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at Espanyol despite having 76% possession. Atleti took full advantage to close the gap at the top to just a point after their 2-0 win over Mallorca, while Barcelona also won thanks to Robert Lewandowski’s 30th goal of the season.
And in the Bundesliga Harry Kane continues to do Harry Kane things, bagging a brace in his 50th appearance in the league as Bayern survived a late scare to beat Holstein Keil 4-3. They did it without Mathys Tel who’s now on loan with Tottenham - but what kind of player are Spurs getting?

In La Liga Kylian Mbappé bagged his first hat-trick for Real Madrid as they went four points clear at the top of the table after a 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid. That’s after Atléti were held to a 1-1 draw with Villarreal, while Barcelona put just the seven past Valencia as they got back to winning ways in the league.
Over in Germany, Bayern moved six points clear at the top after their 2-1 win at Freiburg, while closest rivals Leverkusen saw a two-goal lead evaporate as they were held by Leipzig.
And in Ligue 1, PSG dropped points for the fifth time this season in a 1-1 draw with Reims at the Parc de Princes. But they’ve actually extended their lead at the top to 10 points after Marseille were beaten 2-0 by Nice in the Derby de la Mediterranée.
