• Barca and Real grab last-gasp winners as Napoli go level with Inter

  Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Italian expert Max Callegari alongside him to recap all the latest action from across the continent.  Fresh off the back of last week’s thrilling Champions League quarterfinals - it’s back to domestic matters - but with a nod to the small matter of Arsenal v PSG and Barcelona v Inter just around the corner…  Back in Serie A, Napoli moved level on points with Inter at the top of the table after the Nerazzurri were beaten 1-0 by a stunning goal from substitute Riccardo Orsolini. So, could we be heading towards a play-off to decide who takes the Scudetto?! In Spain, Barcelona and Real Madrid scored dramatic stoppage-time winners to keep the La Liga title race alive ahead of Saturday’s Copa del Rey final between the two. No such luck for Atleti though, who saw their slim title hopes dashed courtesy of a late defeat at the hands of our favourites Las Palmas.  Over in France, it’s all eyes on Arsenal for PSG as they continued their march to an unbeaten league season with a 2-1 win at Le Havre. Marseille put five past Montpellier to take back second place from Monaco - but it’s their plans for the rest of the campaign which have raised a few eyebrows…  And in Germany, the Bundesliga title race is all but over as Bayern Munich thrashed Heidenheim 4-0 to move eight points clear after Leverkusen were held at St Pauli. But could Xavi Alonso’s focus be elsewhere with links to the Real Madrid job growing stronger? Produced by Lucy Oliva.

It was nearly another nightmare result for Enzo Maresca but Chelsea fought back at Fulham to secure a huge win in the hunt for Champions League football. Liam Twomey has more from Craven Cottage. Aston Villa produced maybe their most impressive performance of the season as they took apart red-hot Newcastle at Villa Park. We ask where next for Kevin De Bruyne? And where next for Bryan Mbeumo?

  It’s Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Liam Tharme in the studio as your Champions League final four are set in stone. Arsenal snuff out any hopes of a Real Madrid remontada and indeed beat Los Blancos again at the Bernabeu. How much credit does Mikel Arteta deserve given their absentees?

Can Real overcome a 3-0 deficit and produce another special European night at the Bernabéu to stun Arsenal? Will Raphinha continue his extraordinary goalscoring form? Is there any way back for Aston Villa against the French champions? And can the meanest defense in Europe stop Thomas Müller signing off in style?

• Newcastle take control of top 5 race as Forest and Chelsea make costly slips

  Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams for company as the race for Champions League football gets very interesting. Newcastle make light work of Man United with a 4-1 victory at St James’s Park. Are they the best team in the country right now. And could they finish 2nd? Chelsea come from 2-0 down to Ipswich to salvage a point but fan discontent grows at Stamford Bridge. And it’s squeaky bum time for Nottingham Forest who lose again at home to Everton. Could Moyes do a Nuno next season? Liverpool could win the title next weekend after Van Dijk’s late winner against West Ham. And we ponder the chances of the English clubs in the Champions League next week. Plus Villa Park is great, Spurs are a shambles and goal difference is a lie. Produced by Charlie Jones.
