The games continues thick and fast, as Musa and Ryan reflect on the FA Cup semi-finals, which saw Chelsea and Arsenal progress to the final and highlighted potential problems within the two Manchester clubs. To listen to the rest of this episode, head to the Ringer FC Spotify feed. The NWSL was full of shocks as the top four seeds all exited the competition and Britt Eckerstrom steal the show, plus Ryan shares his love of the numerous novelty Twitter accounts that have sprung up around the tournament. The MSL was also wild, with goals, sending offs and VAR drama a plenty, much like La Liga’s final day, which saw Leganés relegated, two legends leave Villarreal and Granada seal their first ever European spot. Finally, they touch on Bielsa’s Leeds getting promoted to the Premier League, Nigel Pearson’s sacking with two games left and World Cup Winner Andre Schürrle’s retirement at the age of 29.

What a hectic weekend of football! Musa and Ryan begin with the dramatic final days of the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga, including Werder Bremen's 6-1 win over Köln to book a place in the relegation playoff, Gladbach securing Champions League football, Dortmund losing 4-0 at home to Hoffenheim and Schalke's terrible run continuing. Things also heated up in La Liga over the weekend, thanks in no small part to two wonderful assists from Santi Cazorla and Karim Benzema, plus a late equaliser for Celta Vigo against Barcelona. There's a lot of praise for Rose Lavelle after Washington Spirit's 2-1 win over Chicago, a quick trip to the Premier League and FA Cup, before playing out on Steve Hiett.
