Alonso, Leverkusen, and Real Madrid
Musa and Ryan begin with a very quick shout-out for some results in the Premier League, La Liga, and Serie A (00:30), before being joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor (09:00). They discuss St. Pauli’s 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, which all but sealed the title for Bayern; Xabi Alonso’s future; whether he will stay at Leverkusen or head to Madrid; and whether this season may have been slightly underrated from a Leverkusen perspective. There’s also talk about the draw from St. Pauli’s point of view, increasing their chances of staying up in what has been a brilliant season back in the Bundesliga so far (38:50).

PSG and Barcelona Progress Despite Second-Leg Scares
While both sides suffered second-leg defeats, it was PSG and Barcelona that progressed to the Champions League semifinals. Musa and Ryan begin at Villa Park, where Aston Villa beat PSG 3-2 on the night (02:33) and very nearly sent the game into extra time. Barcelona also had a scare at the Westfalenstadion (25:49), where they lost to Borussia Dortmund—thanks to a Serhou Guirassy hat trick—but ultimately did enough to push through, leaving Barça to face a clash with either Bayern or Inter.

In the week that Mo Salah signed a new deal, Musa and Ryan begin with Liverpool securing another win to bring the title closer—with rumors on the horizon that there are more contract extensions due to be announced—capping off a great week at Anfield (01:50). They chat about the crowded race for the Premier League Champions League spots, the 2-2 draw between Bayern and Dortmund in Munich (21:51), and some other results around Europe.
