Tuchel's Triumph and Bayern bow out - a podcast by BBC Radio 5 live

It’s all about the Champions League in this episode of the pod. Kelly Cates is joined by Andros Townsend, Rob Green and Ian Dennis as they discuss Chelsea beating Porto 2-1 on aggregate to go through to the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 2014. Thomas Tuchel makes an appearance and admits he was nervous after Porto scored the only goal in Seville.

But the other big story of the night was in Paris as PSG knocked out the holders, Bayern Munich. The German side were the only team to score on the night, but PSG had already done enough and it ended three all on aggregate, meaning Mauricio Pochettino’s men go through on away goals. Kelly gets the view from Paris, as French football journalist, Sara Menai joins the guys and for her Neymar was the star on the pitch. And a not so ecstatic Raphael Honigstein also comes on the pod and gives his insight into what went wrong for Bayern, and poses the question of what next for Hansi Flick?

That’s not all, as Rob, Ian and Andros look ahead to Wednesday’s Champions League fixtures, as Liverpool host Real Madrid and Manchester City travel to Borussia Dortmund.
