Ohhh, Villa! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish recap one of the craziest European games you’ll ever see, as Unai Emery almost Europa League’d his way past PSG and into the Champions League semi-finals.

Marcus and Jim had barely fired up the telly before Antoine Semenyo’s cracking opener gave Bournemouth an early lead. And… that was it.There was still plenty to get stuck into though, with the Sky Sports microphones picking up plenty of fruity language from a few Fulham fans nearby and the officials making a truly baffling substitution error that forced Ryan Sessegnon off.We also assess the prospective fortunes of both sides as they push for Europe and wonder where their coaches might be managing next season. We’re going on tour!

Man United vs Lyon wasn’t exactly high quality. So much so that Marcus, Andy and Jim wonder whether both sides can go out.
