Fresh from watching the drama of the Champions League semi-finals at the San Siro and Parc des Princes, Gabby and Mark Pougatch are joined by European football journalist, Guillem Balagué. Will the old or the new triumph when Inter Milan face PSG in the final in Munich? Has losing his daughter changed Luis Enrique's outlook on football? Will the arrival of Arsenal's new sporting director Andrea Berta be the key to stop them being a "nearly team"? And when will Barcelona learn to defend? As 17-year-old Lamine Yamal shined for Barcelona, we'll speak about young superstars lighting up their sport like Luke Littler and Vaibhav Suryvanshi... and who better about that than Sky Brown. She became Britain's youngest ever Olympic medallist at 13 and won her second Olympic skateboarding medal at 16.How does she feel seeing other teenage stars dominate on the world stage? And how scared do her parents get watching her compete? As Maro Itoje is named captain of the British & Irish Lions we reflect on his recent visit to our studio, what the tour means to him and how the Lions fans made him feel like a rockstar. Plus, who knew 5kg of fish or reindeer meat could buy you a Europa League semi-final ticket!
