After Real Madrid's tame Champions League exit the Euro Leagues crew ask whether signing Trent Alexander-Arnold is really the priority to improve such an imbalanced squad needing greater defensive stability. What else needs addressing and who is/isn't in the frame to succeed Carlo Ancelotti.

Also on the agenda for Guillem Balague, Mina Rzouki and Julien Laurens; Inter and Barcelona meeting in the UCL semis for the first time since 2010 when Jose's Inter went through at Camp Nou depite not having a shot in the second leg against Pep's Barca. What are we expecting this time around?

There's a special guest on this week's pod in former Bayern technical director Marco Neppe who discusses his favourite signings from his time in Munich, how elite clubs operate, breaking the German transfer record for Harry Kane, and the recent discourse that elite level football has become boring.
