Euro Leagues: Have Barcelona hit ‘rock bottom’? - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Alistair Bruce-Ball is joined by Julien Laurens, James Horncastle and Kristof Terreur to discuss what next for Barcelona after they were knocked out at the group stages of the Champions League for the first time in 21 years.

Ernest Macia from Radio Catalunya joins the pod to give his view on whether this could mark the start of a long absence for the club away from the Champions League and how long their recovery back to the top may take.

James tips Inter Milan to be the surprise package of the Champions League and tells us why he thinks they may reach the semi-finals, despite no longer having Antonio Conte as manager.

And is Vincent Kompany’s future as Anderlecht manager in doubt after two and a half seasons in charge?
