Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Adam Crafton & Sam Lee to discuss City's title triumph and imagine what the mood would have been like had they lost out on the title to Liverpool.

Coming up later in the pod we’ll hear how PSG kept hold of Kylian Mbappe, why City moving for Erling Haaland early means they didn't face competition from Real Madrid who will no doubt look to react in the transfer market.

And Phil Hay will join us - in a much better mood than last week - after Leeds United managed to avoid relegation from the Premier League after a terrible season.
