April 15, 2021 Liverpool Dumped Out Of UCL By Real Madrid

Liverpool Dumped Out Of UCL By Real Madrid

Liverpool's Champions League campaign ended in disappointment as Real Madrid set up a semi-final meeting with Chelsea by keeping Jurgen Klopp's side at bay in a goalless draw at Anfield.

Real arrived at Anfield protecting a 3-1 lead from the first leg and while they eventually went through in relative comfort Liverpool will curse themselves for missing several glorious first-half chances.

Mohamed Salah shot straight at Real keeper Thibaut Courtois, who also saved well from James Milner, in the opening moments and shot over when he should have hit the target while Georginio Wijnaldum was also guilty of squandering an opportunity to at least apply pressure to Zinedine Zidane's side.

Real's best chance saw Benzema drive in a shot that was deflected on to the post, while Courtois was in action again to block Roberto Firmino's angled shot after the break.

Liverpool ran out of steam and ideas as the second half wore on, and Real defended with defiance and resilience to seal the win and set up a meeting with another Premier League side in Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea.

Man City Into Ucl Last Four After Win Over Dortmund

Manchester City are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League for only the second time after sealing victory over Borussia Dortmund in the last eight courtesy of comeback win in Germany.

Holding a 2-1 lead from the first leg, City found themselves needing to chase the tie when 17-year-old England international Jude Bellingham curled in a superb shot from the edge of the box.

Stung by the concession, the visitors threw everything they could muster at the German side, with Kevin de Bruyne smashing an effort off the bar before Mahrez saw a shot blocked on the line by the brilliant Bellingham.

The crucial breakthrough for City came early in the second half as Emre Can was penalized for handling in the box and Mahrez stepped up to fire his side ahead again in the tie.

Phil Foden sealed it, adding to the late goal he scored at the Etihad to give his side their first-leg lead with a fierce drive that found the Dortmund goal via the post.

City will face Paris St-Germain in the semi-finals, with the French side having eliminated holders Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

It is the first time City have reached the semis under current boss Pep Guardiola, who twice won the competition during his time as manager of Barcelona.

 

 

April 14, 2021 “I’m A Failure Without Ucl Trophy”, Says City Boss Guardiola

“I’m A Failure Without Ucl Trophy”, Says City Boss Guardiola

Pep Guardiola says he will be viewed as a failure as Manchester City boss if he does not win the Champions League during his time at the club.

City take a 2-1 aggregate lead to Borussia Dortmund for the second leg of their quarter-final tie on Wednesday.

They have not reached the semi-finals under Guardiola, going out in the last eight for the last three seasons.

"I know if we don't win I'll be a failure and if we do it's 'how good is Pep'," said Guardiola.

Their agenda is boosted by the absence of Dortmund's Jadon Sancho from the second leg, with the England and ex-City forward still recovering from the thigh injury that prevented him playing in the first leg.

However, the German side's away goal at the Etihad means they would advance with a 1-0 win on home soil and Guardiola is urging his side to focus on their plan rather than worry about the permutations.

The winners will play Paris St-Germain in the two-legged semi-final after PSG, managed by former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, edged out reigning holders Bayern Munich.

The German side won 1-0 in the second leg in France on Tuesday, but lost on the away-goals rule after it finished 3-3 on aggregate following PSG's 3-2 win in the first leg.

100-Day Countdown To The Olympics Begins

The countdown to the delayed Tokyo Olympics is has commenced, with 100 days to go to the opening ceremony slated to hold on 23 July.

The quadrennial competition originally due to take place from 24 July to 9 August 2020, was postponed in March 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, making this is the first time that the Olympic Games have been postponed and rescheduled, rather than cancelled and will not allow spectators from overseas.

Amidst the pandemic, the organizing committee replaced its president, after he resigned citing public outrage over sexist remarks, a female president in Seiko Hashimoto was appointed and added 12 new women directors to the board, meaning women now make up 42% of a committee previously dominated by men.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has released a first draft of its 'playbook' explaining the many rules that must be followed in order to ensure a "safe and successful" event, as well as other safety measures put in place, all in a bid to ensure the 23 July date is realized.
