And then there were four. Dotun and Andy are joined by Lars Sivertsen to get their heads around a dramatic conclusion to the Champions League last eight!

Lars is gutted that PSG are finally turning into a sensible team, while Andy explains that Dortmund’s semi-final spot belies some far-from-sensible decision-making inside the club. Yes, Sven Mislintat might really be making a comeback.

Plus, did Real Madrid really put in a “classic” European display or did Manchester City just fluff their lines? And after Bayer Leverkusen lifted the title last Sunday, Andy explains why Xabi Alonso and the club were a match made in heaven from day one.
