talkSPORT's European Discord
Get ready for an electrifying night as Champions League semi-finals take the stage. Tonight, Arsenal finds themselves in a battle against Premier League demons as PSG storms the Emirates. Although Mikel Arteta's squad suffered a 1-0 loss in London, they still have a shot at redemption in the second leg. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Inter Milan square off in the other semi-final to see who will join the elite company of Champions League finalists.
As if that wasn't enough action, Manchester United, Spurs, and Chelsea take the stage on Thursday for a glorious showdown in the Premier League. Liverpool wrapped up the title on Sunday, joining a record-equaling 20th title at Anfield.
Are you a Tottenham fan facing a tough challenge against the giants of Bodo/Glimt? Spurs' manager Ange Postecoglou is keeping his composure and focusing on the momentous opportunity at hand. With his domestic campaign taking a turn for the worse, he encourages fans to concentrate on the now and seize the silverware opportunity.
James Maddison, Spurs' midfielder, has thrown his support behind the embattled Ange Postecoglou. The narrative surrounding the manager's position and potential pressure is dismissed by Maddison and the squad, with player focus set on a "special season" under his management.
In less cheerful news, Chelsea is leaning towards European football next season despite the upcoming multi-club ownership regulations. The club's owner, Evangelos Marinakis, has suspended his involvement, leaving UEFA to discern the impact on future Champions League competitions.
Staying in London, Tottenham will be without their captain, Heung-min Son, for their crucial match against Bodo/Glimt due to stubborn foot injury. The absence of Son could significantly affect the team's chances in the knockout stages of the Europa League.
Ex-Manchester City defender, Micah Richards, has received a barrage of criticism during CBS Sports' Champions League coverage, often relegated to lesser on-air duties. This occurred once again during the Arsenal vs. PSG game, with host Kate Scott's derisive comments making the rounds on social media.
Nottingham Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis, has decided to pause his involvement with the club, complying with UEFA regulations on multi-club ownership. The move is in anticipation of both Forest and Marinakis' other club, Olympiakos, potentially qualifying for the Champions League next season.
Man United fans, brace yourselves, because Amad Diallo is on the ride to recovery, with a return to full training following a long ankle ligament injury. Matthijs De Ligt has also joined the ranks of the injured, but both players remain hopeful of making a comeback before the season ends.
Finally, prepare yourself for a Premier League reunion, as David De Gea's future team, Fiorentina, takes on Manchester United in a pre-season friendly in August. This will mark the first time De Gea returns to Old Trafford since his departure in 2023.
