How to watch the Liga Portugal match between FC Porto and Sporting CP, as well as kick-off time and team news

Why does Cristiano Ronaldo always have so much bad luck?!... First, Erik ten Hag didn't recognise his unrivalled ability at Manchester United, then Fernando Santos ruined his 2022 World Cup bid with Portugal. And now, the powers that be in Saudi Arabia are conspiring to make sure his trophy drought in the Middle East extends to three-and-a-half seasons. Give the guy a break!...

The Champions League league phase drew to a predictably chaotic conclusion on Wednesday, with all of the matchday eight fixtures kicking-off at the same time. The net result was numerous positional changes over the course of 90-plus minutes of madness, though the highlight was undoubtedly Anatoliy Trubin scoring a last-second header to keep Benfica in the competition.

Luis Enrique has launched a furious tirade against the nature of the sport, labelling it "sh*tty football" after watching his Paris Saint-Germain side suffer a 2-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon. The Spanish manager insisted it was the "best away match" of his tenure and claimed the result was a total injustice, leaving the French champions' hopes of a top-eight finish hanging in the balance ahead of a crucial showdown with Newcastle.

New Chelsea signing Geovany Quenda is all set to undergo surgery ahead of his Chelsea move. The Blues secured a transfer for the Sporting CP wonderkid earlier this year and an agreement was reached between the two clubs where Quenda will formally complete his move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2026. Now, just months before the move, the teenager has picked up a serious injury.

The fiery spectacle unleashed by Bayern Munich’s ultras during their Champions League victory over Sporting CP was not merely a display of passion, but reportedly a calculated strategic manoeuvre designed to manipulate UEFA’s disciplinary timeline.

Bayern Munich wonderkid Lennart Karl has admitted he is learning a lot from star striker and England captain Harry Kane after breaking a Champions League record in the club's win over Sporting CP.

Bayern Munich left-back Alphonso Davies has made an emotional return to competitive action after a torturous nine-month injury nightmare.

Bayern Munich sensation Lennart Karl has etched his name into the history books once again with a stunning Champions League performance against Sporting CP, leaving manager Vincent Kompany in awe. The 17-year-old prodigy continues to justify the hype with a "killer" instinct that team-mate Joshua Kimmich believes should earn him a spot in the German national team for the World Cup.

Bayern Munich were forced to come from behind to beat Sporting CP 3-1 at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday in the Champions League. A Joshua Kimmich own goal gave the visitors a shock lead in the game but the hosts hit back through Serge Gnabry.
