Lazio impressed with a good performance led by the sensational Pedro in a 2-2 draw with Inter. The result left our top-four hopes hanging by a thread, but we still have a small hope going into the final day against Lecce.

Following a mad final matchday in both the Bundesliga, and 2. Bundesliga, Manu is joined by Matt Ford to break it all down from the RheinEnergieStadion in Köln. The two kick off the show recapping 1. FC Köln's return to the Bundesliga. They then move on to chat about Borussia Dortmund's remarkable comeback under Niko Kovac. Is the Croatian the coach of the season? Then they chat about Bayern Munich and their final game against Hoffenheim. Was the press unfair criticizing the team's trip to Ibiza? Enjoy!

On the final Bundesliga preview show of the season, Manu and Stefan sit down to discuss the biggest talking points from German football this weekend.

They then turn their attention towards the 2.Bundesliga, where FC Köln will face off with Kaiserslautern to see which of the two clubs will finally realise their dreams of promotion to the top flight next season.

NBA scout Mark Cook joined Sports Talk to preview the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery. Cook discussed the top prospects in this year's draft class.

Manu and Stefan were back for the Bundesliga preview show (a day late due to travel), and there's plenty to unpack. Here's your weekly conversation-style recap from the pod: Bayern on the Brink (Without Kane) Manu: “This could be it — if Bayern beat Leipzig, they win the title.” Stefan: “And Harry Kane won't be on the pitch, which just writes its own jokes.” Still, Kane and Eric Dier will get their first career trophies if Bayern wrap it up. Stefan joked Dier could do a John Terry and show up in full kit at full-time. Stefan: “Bayern won't delay the title for sentimental reasons. They'll get it done.” Both agree this season's been mixed for Bayern, but Kompany has done the job that matters: reclaiming the Bundesliga title. Leipzig's Squeaky-Bum Time Manu: “This game is massive for Leipzig. If they don't get a result, Champions League football could be gone.” Stefan: “They're up against it. Orban and Gulácsi are out. Without them, they're hopeless.” Leipzig are under pressure from Dortmund and Freiburg. Without Champions League qualification, they may need to sell key players like Xavi Simons. Stefan: “They've been sleepwalking for years. Leverkusen's rise is forcing them to wake up.” Manu: “The issue isn't ambition. It's their failure to find the right formula.” The coaching situation is also in focus. Manu and Stefan suggest Leipzig need to make a bold hire — maybe Sandro Wagner or Cesc Fàbregas. Freiburg's Big Chance Manu: “If Freiburg beat Leverkusen and Leipzig lose, the door to the Champions League really opens.” Stefan: “Julian Schuster has actually improved on Streich's work.” Freiburg are two points ahead of Leipzig. Despite struggling against top-four teams this season, they have a chance to change that now. Stefan: “They need to break the curse. If you want to be top four, you have to beat top-four clubs.” They've signed a replacement for Ritsu Doan and could have Noah Atubolu back in goal — a major boost. Manu also explained why Freiburg shouldn't be considered a small club anymore. Manu: “Freiburg's greater metro area is bigger than Dortmund. They're a sleeping giant with real infrastructure now.”

Ike, Spike and Fritz open the show by discussing the AJ Brown draft day trade rumor and if they'd ever consider moving the star wideout.
