We start with a big moment for Arsenal and what it could mean for their season, before getting into why Gyökeres isn’t getting the respect he deserves — and whether this Arsenal side is doing something we’ve never really seen before from set pieces.
There’s also a look back at Sporting’s comeback in Europe, which played out exactly as expected, plus a standout Champions League performance from Maxi Araújo.
From there, we react to the confirmed Champions League quarter-finals, discuss the growing narrative around the Portuguese league, and why it feels increasingly off the mark.
We also take a step back to talk about the Portugal national team, before finishing with a wider conversation around Neymar — and why the criticism around him has gone too far.
