Euro Leagues: Misery for Mikel and Arsenal's agony - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

Steve Crossman is joined by Lee Dixon, Matthew Upson and Alistair Bruce-Ball to reflect on Arsenal’s miserable exit from the Europa League semi-finals, effectively ending their hopes of European football next season.

A goalless draw at the Emirates was not enough as they lost 2-1 to Villarreal on aggregate and missed out on the chance to play Manchester United in the final.

Arsenal fans Harry Symeou and Jonny Cochrane join the show to discuss Mikel Arteta’s future and where the club goes now after this latest setback.

There may be no English domination in the Europa League but Guillem Balague, Julien Laurens and James Horncastle are on the pod to discuss the English success in the Champions League, what Pep Guardiola has done to turn Manchester City's season around and whether Zinedine Zidane will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Plus, how will Jose Mourinho fare on his return to Italy as he prepares to take charge of Roma next season?
