Barcelona’s phenomenal week and what has happened to Juventus?

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic

Jimbo and the Euro crew of James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein are back to feast upon all the continental action. The draws for the quarter-finals of the Champions League and beyond have everyone excited. Hear why it was the worst possible draw for Bayern and Real Madrid. And are PSG already at Wembley? Not if Barcelona have their say. It’s been a great week for Xavi and the new generation of La Masia graduates as they hammer Atletico. Juventus were challenging for the title two months ago but now their place in the top 4 is in real jeopardy. Where has it gone wrong for Max Allegri and the Old Lady? Leverkusen make it 38 games unbeaten as the Bundesliga title becomes increasingly inevitable. Could David Moyes be the first manager to beat Xabi Alonso this season?  Speaking of managers, it’s Sarri out and Tudor in at Lazio. Plus Christian Streich is leaving after 12 years at Freiburg, and Ralph Hasenhuttl is returning to management with Wolfsburg.
