Football Weekly Extra: late drama for Dortmund and Barcelona

Ahoy and welcome to another Football Weekly Extra, this time featuring the suave foreign accents of Rafa Honigstein and Philippe Auclair to complement James Richardson and James Horncastle.

With a little help from Sid Lowe, the podders look back on all the drama from the Champions League, where Dortmund, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich made it through to the semi-finals. The German champions left it spectacularly late to see off Málaga, while Real got a scare at Galatasary, Leo Messi did his magic (even on one leg) as PSG were sent packing, and last year's beaten finalists Bayern swaggered past Juventus.

Away from Europe, we look ahead to a big weekend in the FA Cup, with Chelsea taking on Manchester City and Wigan slugging it out with Millwall in the glamour tie of the semis.

And it's crunch time again at the bottom of the Premier League, with Sunderland travelling to Newcastle, and Stoke hoping to arrest their miserable slide at home to Manchester United.

Amy Lawrence and Pedro Pinto are with us to reflect on everything from the Europa League in Friday's Football Weekly Very Extra video – and if that wasn't enough for you to gawp at, there's Jimbo's European Paper Review too.
