Unstoppable Yamal stars in Champions League classic while Arsenal trail to PSG

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo, Charlie Eccleshare, Jack Lang and Tom Williams are in the studio after an enthralling midweek of Champions League semi-final first leg action.

Barcelona head to Milan still on level terms with Inter after a classic 3-3 draw at Montjuic. But it’s the performance of Lamine Yamal that has the world talking. Pol Ballús was there to watch a 17-year-old who keeps encouraging Lionel Messi comparisons with his performances.

Arsenal are edged out 1-0 by PSG at the Emirates. What contributed to a flat evening for the Gunners? PSG’s possession? The officiating? The tifo? And what positives can they take to Paris?

We also find out what Messi and Ronaldo got up to in the Champions League this week.

Chelsea are WSL champions while an exciting final day lies ahead in the EFL on Saturday.

And we preview the weekend as the Premier League enters the Shaun Maloney weeks.
