Euro Leagues: Lights out for FC Versailles and escape from Ukraine - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Steve Crossman, Julien Laurens, Kristof Terreur and Archie Rhind-Tutt ask whether a European Super League will ever happen and get stuck into cup shocks on the continent. Just why aren’t there any midweek matches in Versailles? They also discuss Roman Abramovich’s plans to sell Chelsea and, on World Book Day, pick their favourite football books.
