[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. Delete the bottle gifs, cancel the crying, laughing emojis, an absolutely crucial win for Arsenal in the Champions League. Not a classic, and the Gunners weren't great, but in injury time Martinelli drew the defense, Kai Havertz stood still as the Sporting defense parted, and the German slotted home. Mikel Arteta won't rest David Raya again. He was excellent. A much better game at the Bernabéu. Bayern could have put this tie to bed. Huge chances before Luis Díaz put them ahead. Harry Kane made it two immediately after the break, but Real rallied. Trent's perfect ball from Mbappé, and the tie is alive. There's a big Easter of EFL to look back on after bigging up Millwall on Thursday. They lost to Norwich, helping Ipswich into the top two. In League One, Lincoln are promoted, and the mighty Hughes can see two last minute equalizers in a row. Not now, lads. We'll do that, salute Aaron Ramsey, do a bit of Serie A and the Bundesliga. What were you doing when the world ended? You were listening to The Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Barry Glendenning, welcome.
