The Morning Footy crew previews Wednesday’s massive Champions League showdown at the Metropolitano. How will Diego Simeone set up his side for the second leg, and can Atletico Madrid finally get the better of their cross-town rivals on the European stage? But beware, Rojiblancos—Kylian Mbappe just got an extra dose of motivation after watching PSG book their spot in the quarterfinals. Could the Frenchman be the difference-maker?

Then, Claudia Pagan has the latest headlines, including a major concern for Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s Carabao Cup final—will they be without Trent Alexander-Arnold?
