Havertz haunts Leverkusen - but Saka & Arsenal defence struggle
Arsenal left it late to salvage a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie as Kai Havertz came back to haunt his former club. The Germany international netted from the penalty spot after Robert Andrich had given the hosts the lead as the Gunners earned a result that their overall performance barely deserved.

Analysis Real Madrid
Madrid must move for Rodri NOW & solve their biggest issue
Real Madrid are not, objectively, having that bad of a season. They are within four points of Barcelona atop La Liga - a not insurmountable gap - and are in the Champions League round of 16 despite a tough league-phase slate of fixtures. Yes, they fired a manager in Xabi Alonso and face uncertainty in the dugout, but success is not beyond Los Blancos in 2025-26.

Opinion Paris Saint-Germain
PSG's Donnarumma gamble has backfired big time
Paris Saint-Germain were by far the best team in Europe last season. Luis Enrique's side stormed to a Ligue 1 and Coupe de France double in France, and swept aside the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal before thrashing Inter in the Champions League final to finally claim the club's first continental crown.

Less than half of Chelsea sale proceeds to go to Ukraine war victims
The long-running saga of Chelsea's multi-billion-pound takeover has taken a dramatic new twist. Recent company accounts reveal that former owner Roman Abramovich is legally required to donate only the net proceeds of the sale to a charitable foundation. With massive internal debts owed to a Jersey-based investment firm, less than half of the headline price will reach war victims.

Bayern Munich’s medical department confirmed on Wednesday that Alphonso Davies, Jonas Urbig and Jamal Musiala are set for a spell on the sidelines after being forced off during the 6-1 Champions League victory over Atalanta.

Antonin Kinsky's name will live in Tottenham and Champions League infamy for ever more. The Spurs goalkeeper was thrust into the line-up for Tuesday's last-16 first leg at Atletico Madrid, only to last just 17 minutes after twice gifting goals to Diego Simeone's side in what will go down as one of the worst goalkeeping performances in the history of Europe's premier club competition.

Is Tudor facing the sack? Spurs make decision ahead of Liverpool clash
Igor Tudor is reportedly set to remain in the Tottenham dugout for Sunday's daunting trip to Liverpool, despite the club's season spiralling into a full-blown crisis. Since replacing Thomas Frank last month, the Croatian has overseen a catastrophic run of four consecutive defeats, leaving the north London outfit languishing just one point above the Premier League relegation zone and facing a round of 16 Champions League exit.
