Borussia Dortmund were sliding towards a 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final first leg before Sebastien Haller handed them a late lifeline.

Thierry Henry believes there is one element of Erling Haaland’s game that he needs to improve on after the Norwegian had a quiet night against Real Madrid.

Raphinha was the man of the moment for Barcelona at the Parc des Princes, scoring an incredible outside-of-the-boot volley to see the Catalans level the game against PSG.

Ousmane Dembele scored against his former club Barcelona to level for Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie, and no sooner had he done so then Vitinha fired the hosts into the lead.

Although there’s still another 45 minutes to go in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg against Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid have the upper hand thanks to Samuel Lino.

Barcelona took the lead against Paris Saint-Germain thanks to a wonderful finish from Raphinha, and it was no more than the Catalans deserved.

This summer is set to be a hugely important one for Newcastle United.

Atletico Madrid got off to the perfect start in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg thanks to the quick thinking of Rodrigo De Paul.

There could be some significant changes afoot at West Ham this summer, both on the bench and in the first-team squad. It isn’t clear whether David Moyes will still be the manager at the East London outfit, and a decision surely has to be one way or the other quickly. In so doing, it would […]

Atletico Madrid will be without defender Mario Hermoso for their Champions League quarter final first leg against Borussia Dortmund. Hermoso has struggled with a thigh injury and has missed the last two games for Diego Simeone’s side.

If the players of Barcelona were supposed to be intimidated by Paris Saint-Germain’s ultras before their Champions League game, then the opposite appears to be true.

Newcastle have already shown a willingness to look at players from La Liga, and their signing of Alexander Isak has turned out spectacularly well for all concerned.

This summer is likely to be another important one for the Saudi Public Investment Fund, Eddie, Howe, Jason Tindall, the Newcastle United backroom staff and the players.
