The boys look at the internal politics behind Hansi Flick's desire to leave Bayern Munich, the potent playing style of Villarreal's Gerard Moreno ahead of the club's Europa League semi-final against Arsenal, Jorge Sampaoli's emphatic early impact at Marseille, Roma's defensive vulnerabilities and more. 2:11 - What will be the long- and short-term significance of the monumental collapse of the European Super League? / 12:31 - What style of play has coach Oli Glasner brought to VfL Wolfsburg, and can this year's Bundesliga's surprise package secure a return to the Champions League for the first time since 2015/2016? / 27:46 - Where does the result of last weekend's Copa del Rey final leave Barcelona and Athletic Club? / 37:09 - How have Marseille looked tactically under new coach Jorge Sampaoli, and why might there be genuine reason for optimism at the Stade Vélodrome? / 46:15 - Why have Parma lost so many games this season from winning positions, and does relegation to Serie B now look a certainty for the two-times Uefa Cup winners?
