Football Weekly Extra: old friends reunited in the Champions League

James Dart, Paul MacInnes and Raphael Honigstein join James Richardson to discuss the week's football news.

Old friends are reunited in the Champions League semi-finals as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will face off after easily overcoming Apoel and Marseille, and Chelsea will be looking for payback against Barcelona after beating Benfica. But will the Chelsea old boys have enough quality to avenge 2009? Sid Lowe joins on the line from Spain.

There's a bumper Easter weekend of Premier League action to preview: the pod predict more doom and gloom for Aston Villa, and will Wigan keep their impressive run going?

In continental news there's (another) Italian betting scandal and the Big Lewandowski in Dortmund to discuss, plus the pod wonder if Southampton, Charlton and Swindon have enough to go the distance in the Football League.

Because of the bank holiday matches, Football Weekly will be back on Tuesday.
