Football Weekly Extra: Treble joy for incredible Barcelona

James Richardson, Barry Glendenning, Sean Ingle and Rob Smyth are the men that matter in this Champions League final pod special.

They will be answering such questions as: just how good are Barcelona? Could United have approached the game differently? And why did the British media - including the sagacious Tim Lovejoy - get it so wrong about the Spanish champions?

Sid Lowe joins the fun with a Spanish take on proceedings, as even the Madrid press descibe Barça as "perfection". He also has news of Real Madrid's summer spending spree.

Elsewhere, Burnley are back in the top-flight for first time since 1976 and the pod salute Owen Coyle while discussing the vacancy at Celtic Park.

Finally, the pod discusses the FA Cup final, Michael Essien's new £80,000 watch with his own face on it, and Phil Neville's interior design skills.
