James Gregg is joined by Julien Laurens, Guillem Balague and Rafa Honigstein on this week’s Euro Leagues. The team reflect on all the Champions League quarter-final action, including the seven-goal thriller which saw Bayern knock out Real Madrid. Do Kompany’s Bayern team have any weaknesses and if so, could it be Manual Neuer? And should Alvaro Arbeloa be worried at Real Madrid? Could he survive a trophyless season?
Then, the team discuss Atletico Madrid knocking out Barcelona! Is Simeone destined to win his and Atleti’s first Champions League? And how might they cause Arsenal problems in the semi-final?
We hear all about the first woman to manage a men’s side in Europe’s Top 5 Leagues – Marie-Louise Eta has taken over at Union Berlin until the end of the season. And finally, Ashley Cole tells BBC Sport’s Nizaar Kinsella all about his start to life at Serie B side Cesena, and why he made the move to Italy for his first head coach role.

Steve Crossman hosts this week's Monday Night Club alongside Chris Sutton, Rory Smith and Nedum Onuoha.
With a game in hand and six points to make up, can Manchester City catch Arsenal? The team discuss the role that mentality plays in a title race, how fan nervousness might be affecting Arsenal on the pitch, and what Arteta's side seem to be lacking from open-play. Is it fair to say Arsenal are 'bottling' it? On the other hand, a free-flowing Manchester City are relishing the chase, and with Arsenal visiting the Etihad this Sunday, could that result prove to be a decider?
Then, the panel react to Spurs losing their first match under new head coach, Roberto De Zerbi. With Tottenham now in the relegation zone for the first time since 2015, and two points from safety, can "big brother" De Zerbi save the club?
