Gary Lineker 0:00
This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before we kick off a quick pre-match warm-up from Fuse, a question on the teams and players who make things count. Which Premier League player scored the most goals as a substitute in 24-25? Duran is my answer. It's not Duran.
Micah Richards 0:20
It's either Muniz or Wilson. I'm going to go Wilson then.
Gary Lineker 0:24
Well, you're both wrong. It's Muniz. Goodness. So, the winner is the person that is closest to guessing the number of goals that Rodrigo Muniz scored coming off the bench last season.
Micah Richards 0:38
Six. I'll go one up then, seven. The answer is six. Yes!
Gary Lineker 0:44

Alan Shearer 1:10
Coming up on today's show. I just feel as if there's been a change in Arsenal and change of mentality in terms of how positive everything is. Miles, Lewis, Skelly. Brilliant. What a performance. You know, he does make a very different to what Zubimendi does. When he gets the ball, his first thought is forward. Can I pass it forward? And I think that makes a huge difference for Arsenal.
Micah Richards 1:35
They're coming into form at the right time. And that's the most important thing.
Gary Lineker 1:38
for Arsenal and England, one or two of them, which is encouraging.
Micah Richards 1:42
Travis Kelly is my favourite winger in European football.
Alan Shearer 1:45
They're going to have to be at their very, very best to stop this PSG team.
Gary Lineker 1:49
I've just got this sneaky feeling Arsenal are going to do this double.
Gary Lineker 2:04
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Micah Richards with a beaming smile on his face, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. We're doing this very late at night after the Champions League semi-final between Bayern and PSG. We've been waiting for big meeks. They're getting the money's worth out of you, Micah.
Micah Richards 2:23
Oh, my. It's been a long day, but it's been eventful, to say the least. I was with Beckham today. Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Alan Shearer 2:35
Just pick that name up there.
Micah Richards 2:37
I was with a real superstar today, actually. Yes, I was with David... Sir David, if you don't know. Oh, no, no, no. We're on, it's different for me. We're mates, you know what I mean? I don't just call him Sir David. I just call him Dave, Dave-o. You know what I mean? Dave-o. That's the connection we've got.
Dave-o.
Micah Richards 2:56
So yeah, I was on his show for a while and then went back to our show. So it's been eventful to say the least.
Gary Lineker 3:03
Yeah, Al, you were at the game. Let's start with that one actually, because obviously huge for Arsenal. It's been a great two weeks, 10 days for them, hasn't it really? I thought they were really good last night. I mean, it's tough opposition, Atletico, really well organised. They probably didn't play too much great football, Atletico. I thought Arsenal played really well. Solid, some excellent performances. You were there. What was it like?
Alan Shearer 3:25
Yeah, I thought it was a great atmosphere. I felt as if the whole atmosphere in the stadium was very, very positive.

What led Arsenal to their first Champions League final in 20 years?

Alan Shearer 3:33
After the weekend, I just feel as if there's been a change in Arsenal and change of mentality in terms of how positive everything is after Saturday, after Monday, when City drew. And then last evening, I just, yeah, I just think there's been a huge change in attitude and everyone's together. Everyone's all excited rather than nervy and edgy. I got that, you know, I think athletically, I don't think they were great. They certainly lacked a bit of quality up front, I thought. But yeah, I thought Arsenal did more than enough and without doubt the best team deserved to get through.
Micah Richards 4:06
Micah? Miles Lewis Skelly. Brilliant. What a performance. He played him against Fulham, wasn't it? The weekend. And the big debate was, was he going to bring Zubi Mendy back? Put his energy in there, his tenacity, his game, his confidence. I just thought he was brilliant. To do that as a teenager...
Alan Shearer 4:26
You know, he does make a very different to what Zubimendi does.
