Football Weekly Extra: Arsenal back from brink in Barça clash

After a fantastic midweek of Champions League action, Sean Ingle, Barry Glendenning and Raphael Honigstein join James Richardson to look back at the key moments. First up, the pod assess how Arsenal were able to get back into their thunderously exciting first-leg against Barcelona and assess what chance their injury-hit squad have in the second leg.

The pod also debate Sir Alex Ferguson's team selection against Bayern - and ponder whether poor substitutions were a factor in United's defeat. Herr Honigstein's performance (and excellent grasp of English) on Radio 5 Live is also up for discussion. Aside from the English teams, Inter beat CSKA Moscow but was Inter's display affected by yet another bizarre José Mourinho press conference?

Back in the Premier League, there's a preview of the Easter fixtures including Man Utd v Chelsea and we also look at Saturday's big game in the Bundesliga.
