On today’s podcast: Arsenal reach the men’s Champions League final for the first time in 20 years, a timely-in-form Bukayo Saka with the decisive goal. They defended like we know they can defend – limiting Atlético to virtually nothing.

The panel discuss why the whole affair wasn’t as nerve-wracking as it should have been. Elsewhere, this win is the second great result for Arsenal in two days after Manchester City dropped points in their 3-3 draw away at Everton on Monday night. It means the title is in Arsenal’s hands with three games to go.

Also, Nottingham Forest make eight changes and still beat Chelsea, Ewan Murray joins us from the jazz bar and we answer your questions.
