Hello Rank Squad!It's time for this week's second Champions League Takeaway - looking back at Wednesday's Quarter Final second legs, where Arsenal and Inter were able to maintain their first leg advantages to progress to the semi-finals, but in very different circumstances. Dean is back in San Diego and back in the booth, so we start with Arsenal winning 2-1 at the Bernabeu to knock out the holders Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate, reaching their first semi-final since 2009 in the process, and starting what could be a long period of self-reflection for Los Blancos. It was a game full of drama, but one which Arsenal controlled, and they were worthy winners both on the night and over the two legs. Then in Part Two, we head to San Siro, where a full-blooded, full-throttle affair between Inter and Bayern Munich ended in a 2-2 draw, sending Inter through to the final four with a 4-3 aggregate win. We explore why Inter are so good at getting back up when they've been punched, and how their experience in the dugout helped them see out this tie with another very impressive performance both defensively and offensively.

Adrian Clarke and Art de Roché join Ian Stone to preview Arsenal's Champions League quarter final second leg against Real Madrid, in which the Gunners lead 3-0 on aggregate. The panel touch on Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brentford - in which Mikel Arteta made five changes to his starting XI - before turning their attention to Wednesday's tie.

Broadcaster and passionate Arsenal fan Harry Symeou reacts to Arsenal's frustrating 1-1 draw with Brentford in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta's side looked to have the three points in sight after Thomas Partey opened the scoring, but Yoane Wissa struck back for the Bees to snatch a point at the Emirates. With Bukayo Saka missing key chances, and the Gunners winning just two of their last seven league games, Harry breaks down what went wrong and whether Champions League distractions – ahead of that huge quarter-final second leg vs Real Madrid – are beginning to take their toll. We discuss:
Dave Jones is joined byJamie Redknapp and Steve Sidwell as Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side stutter in the Premier League again after a hard-fought draw against Brentford. Gabriel Martinelli believes Christian Norgaard's tackle on him, for which he was yellow-carded, could have broken his leg and deserved a red card. Arteta gives a cryptic answer on the incident while Redknapp and Sidwell give their opinions. Thomas Frank says he's so annoyed after conceding from an Arsenal corner.
"Conmoción en el Arsenal. Vieron ayer al Real Madrid de baloncesto y al entrenamiento no ha ido ni Arteta..."

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at Arsenal and in particular, a big reshuffle in the boardroom that has seen Andrea Berta succeed Edu Gaspar as their Sporting Director. Berta was formerly at Atletico Madrid, forming a (mostly) impressive team with Diego Simeone, and also previously worked at Genoa and Parma in his native Italy. We examine what his record was at Atleti in terms of overseeing signings, discuss which positions and players Arsenal may look to in the summer under his stewardship, and scrutinise how the Manager-SD relationship works at Arsenal in particular with Mikel Arteta. There's a little bit of time too to examine the role of a Sporting Director in the modern game, and look at exactly what falls under their remit, before we round things off. So, is this the appointment that helps steer Arsenal through that final step where they lift a Premier League trophy? Will he mesh with what Arteta wants and needs on the pitch? Or is this simply background shuffles that bark louder than they actually bite? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

Hello Rank Squad! Dean's back in London, so it's less of a Transatlantic Job this week, but that doesn't mean there's not still plenty to discuss. Today, we're looking at the Champions League Quarter Finalists, but in a slightly different way - examining who the most important player is for each of the eight teams remaining in the competition, from the perspectives of how they've played so far, as well as who is most likely to step up going forward. We take the eight teams in turn ahead of their QF matchups, thinking about star performers across the course of the competition, but also about which player their opposition would remove from these games if they were given a choice to do so - giving us some interesting names and discussions around how we rank players in systems. We finish by trying to pick a top three each, but we found that was a harder task than either of us envisaged to begin with! It's Ranks!

Inside Arsenal with Charles Watts: The latest Arsenal news and transfer stories
Hello everyone and welcome back to Inside Arsenal.In today's show I reflect on last night's 2-1 win against Fulham in the Premier League, going over all the big talking points from the game, including Bukayo Saka's match-winning return and the injury to Gabriel. I also give my Arsenal player ratings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Emirates was filled with joy as Arsenal edged Fulham 2-1. A game that showed the Arsenal players filled with confidence, resilience. Bukayo Saka's long-awaited return was the headline story, and what a way to mark it—with a decisive goal just minutes after stepping onto the pitch. Add to that Mikel Merino's continued brilliance, and you have a performance that left fans buzzing.This wasn't an easy ride, though. Arsenal started strong, controlling possession and creating chances, but injuries and defensive lapses kept things tense. Gabriel Magalhães' early departure with a hamstring issue was a blow, and Fulham's late goal reminded us of the defensive frailties and how much luck made our evening good in winning spirits. Yet, the Gunners showed grit and determination to secure three vital points.Saka's goal was a fairytale moment, made possible by Gabriel Martinelli's audacious flick—a play that will be replayed a lot. Meanwhile, Merino's opener highlighted his adaptability and importance to this side. Performances like these have to be applauded in several context.There's plenty to unpack from this game: the joy of Saka's return, the tactical tweaks from Arteta, and the standout displays from my top 3 players. Tune in as I break it all down in this byte-size episode—because this is Arsenal: never straightforward, always thrilling! Onward, Gunners!
We're shaking things up on The Late Night Shift with a brand-new format: The Power 30 – one topic, 30 minutes, full throttle. This week, we go deep on Andrea Berta, Arsenal's new sporting director. Is he the game-changer we've been waiting for, or a high-risk gamble that threatens the progress made under Arteta's reign?

In this episode we look back at Sunday's 1-0 win over Chelsea. It wasn't a classic by any means, but Mikel Arteta's men did enough to win the game thanks to a goal from Mikel Merino – and his role at centre-forward is an ongoing talking point in part 1. We also chat about how well Arsenal dealt with nullifying Chelsea's attacking threat, the solidity of our defensive platform, Wesley Fofana's lucky escape, and all the other in-game incidents. Then we answer listener questions about Jurrien Timber and his contribution this season, Arteta's preferred striker profile ahead of the summer, our Champions League hopes, a Chelsea Mount Rushmore, some #angeout, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Hello Rank Squad! It's the second of two Champions League Takeaway episodes on the feed this week, with four more games to dissect - headlined by another 120 minutes of madness, this time from Madrid, where Real needed penalties to get the better of Atleti in a game the hosts will feel aggrieved not to have won (we've heard that one before...)We break down the chaos of the penalty shootout, including Julian Alvarez's disallowed spot kick for a double-touch, examining the rules and what exactly happened; before looking back at the game as a whole and examining some of the individual performances that caught our eye, for good and for bad.Then in Part Two, we take a look at a heavily rotated Arsenal's 2-2 draw with PSV - it didn't matter, progression was all but guaranteed; Aston Villa's 3-0 win over Club Brugge where Marco Asensio in particular shone once again - what a signing he has been for Unai Emery's men; and a vastly improved display from Borussia Dortmund as they came from a goal behind to beat Lille in France and progress to another quarter final. It's Ranks!

It's time for The Truth!Dougie's back in business with Sam after a well-earned week off and it's a return with a bang as we turn our attention to Manchester United - always a behemoth of a topic, who are currently seemingly locked inside a battle with themselves. After a dreary start to 2025, questions are being asked of Ruben Amorim's stewardship, and if United have actually got worse since he took over. Now, to be fair, Amorim himself said when he took the job that things were going to get worse before they got better, but much of the fanbase was expecting more of an uptick in form five months in than what we've seen on the pitch, especially after defeat to Fulham in the FA Cup wiped out one of the two remaining options that United had for silverware this campaign. But is that criticism fair? Amorim has struggled to get this squad ticking, but there are mitigating factors - the players are taking some time to adapt to his system (those that can), whilst the most impactful players in this squad have been struck down by injuries just as things were taking an upturn for them. Is that enough though, to absolve him of fault? Should United ride out this storm, trust in their new manager and try to build something long term? Or have we already seen enough to suggest that this isn't going to work and that a change is needed before United get bogged down in another cycle not going anywhere? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...
