Football Weekly Extra: Arsenal and Real Madrid on the back foot

Kicked out of the near-earth-orbit studio by overrated Indie rockers Vampire Weekend and with a presenter still somewhere in the alpine wilderness, Football Weekly makes do with a broom cupboard and whoever Producer Pete could find five minutes before recording was due to commence. Luckily he found Paul MacInnes , Rob Smyth , Kevin McCarra and Paul Doyle at a loose end and they all agreed to do him a turn. The hastily assembled bunch waste no time getting stuck into the week's Champions League action, including Lukasz Fabianski's night to forget, a Rooney-inspired comeback at the San Siro and Bayern Munich's ludicrously offside goal to beat Fiorintina. Continuing the Champions League round-up, Dr Sid Lowe tells us about the pressure building on Real Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini after defeat to a much improved Lyon. The pod also preview the weekend's Premier League games, including Portsmouth v Stoke and Man City v Liverpool, and also ponder Guus Hiddink's decision to become the next Turkey manager when he could have gone pretty much anywhere.
