On the podcast today: Paris Saint-Germain win back-to-back Champions League titles after beating Arsenal on penalties. We asked if this would be attack versus defence and that’s largely how it turned out. Was Arteta’s approach bus-parking of the highest order, or simply the best way to play against the best midfield and attack in world football?

Elsewhere Andy Hunter joins us to talk about Arne Slot, who has been sacked by Liverpool a year after winning the Premier League. Is this simply the ruthlessness of football? There are mitigating circumstances of course, but it seemed like he had lost the players, and with Andoni Iraola available perhaps it’s the right call.

Plus, Max and Barry fret about sharing an apartment together in America, and your questions answered.
