On today’s Football Weekly Extra, AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, Michael Cox and Paolo Bandini to purr over the performances of Real Madrid and Juventus as they put Atlético and Monaco to the sword in the first legs of their Champions League semi-finals.
Next up, we look ahead to the weekend in the Premier League, where Arsenal v Manchester United has lost plenty of sheen and Hull should be thankful that the fixture list has handed them a game with Sunderland.
Finally, we’ve got a bumper Italian round-up, looking at the Federcalcio’s farcical yet sadly typical handling of Sulley Muntari’s racist abuse. Plus, we discuss the retirement of Francesco Totti and get conclusive proof that perhaps goals aren’t so overrated after all.
