Welcome, fellow football fanatics, to another episode of the Footballs Nerds podcast!

We're diving straight into the heart of the action with our World Football News segment. The Round of 16 matches have concluded, leaving us on the edge of our seats for the Quarterfinal draw. And hey, have you heard about the Champions League's exciting new format for next season? We'll give you the lowdown!

Now, onto the transfer front... well, it seems to be a quiet week!

Matchday 27 recaps are in, and oh boy, did we have some thrillers! Liverpool vs. Manchester City was the ultimate showdown, with Klopp battling Guardiola for the last time. But wait, who sneaks in from the sidelines as the real winner... Arsenal? Tottenham put on a smashing performance against Aston Villa, while Chelsea surprised us all with a victory over Newcastle.

Now, for the pièce de résistance of today's show: the Retired XI Draft Pick. Brad and Edwin are going head-to-head, picking players who've hung up their boots to assemble the ultimate Starting Eleven. It's a battle of wits and nostalgia, folks! Who will emerge victorious? You be the judge!

And of course, we can't forget about Edwin's groovy pick for this week's Corner Crescendo. Stay until the very end to listen to a clip.
