Preamble
Hello, good morning and welcome to another matchday live! We have some huge games to look forward to this afternoon – including a European final.
Arsenal face Barcelona in the Women’s Champions League final at Estádio José Alvalade, with Renée Slegers in search of her first major trophy as a manager. The North London side go into the match as major underdogs having not won the Champions League since 2007 – back when Leah Williamson was just a mascot. Meanwhile, the Liga F giants have their sights set on their third successive European title.
Also this afternoon is the Championship playoff final between Sheffield United and Sunderland. Fans were in full voice across London yesterday as they prepared for the highly-anticipated Wembley meeting, with a place in the Premier League at stake. Sheffield United finished 14 points above their rivals in the table earlier this month, but as we all know anything can happen at the home of English football.
And it’s the Scottish Cup final at Hampden Park, where Aberdeen take on league champions Celtic. I’ll be getting you warmed up and ready for these games throughout the day with the help of Rob Smyth, so be sure to stick with us!
