Rebecca and Alex are back with a European football focused show, after managing to overcome the hangover from hell following drunken karaoke after THAT defeat against Bayern Munich. Chelsea and Liverpool might be out of the Champions League but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of teams to talk about and a few to root for. We kick off by discussing what went wrong for Chelsea, the persistent issues that follow Frank Lampard around like a bad smell, and just how good this Bayern Munich team actually are. Is Lewandowski in the form of his life and can Hansi Flick's exciting, rejuvenated side go all the way? Juventus' Champions League dreams were dashed once again, this time by a remarkable Lyon side - who may be the surprise package of the tournament so far. The defeat also lost Maurizio Sarri his job and we analyse where it went wrong for Sarri at Juventus, why the board are so focused on quick fixes over long term planning, and how on Earth Andrea Pirlo has ended up becoming the new manager. After seeing off Napoli, Barcelona have set up the tie of the round against Bayern, with talk turning to Messi magic and if that’s going to be enough this time to see them through. And elsewhere, Man City turned in a great performance to see off a shaky Real Madrid, courtesy of a couple of Raphael Varane errors. We chat about English fans' perceptions of players who have a bad day at the office, just how much Real missed Sergio Ramos, and whether Man City can finally go the whole hog and win the Champions League this season. Plus, Willian actually leaves Chelsea, Juventus' microwave meal mentality, Cristiano Ronaldo's tantrum, Pirlo and donuts, 7 Up, The Wizard of Oz, sandwich skills, disposable crap, a big tease, the real Tiger King, and 'Kiddie Management'. **Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts, as it makes it easier for other potential listeners to find us.
