Sporting Lisbon Beat 10-Man Dortmund To Earn A Last-16 Ticket In UCL

Sporting Lisbon defeated 10-man Borussia Dortmund to advance to the Champions League knockout stage at the expense of the German team.

Sporting wanted to improve on their 1-0 loss in the opposite fixture, and they did so in the first half, thanks to two Pedro Goncalves goals, with the first goal coming from a defensive error from Dortmund.

Emre Can was then dismissed following a scuffle with Pedro Porro which occured off the ball.

Pedro Goncalves missed out on a hat-trick chance when his penalty was saved by Gregor Kobel late in the game, but Porro pounced and scored on the rebound.

Dortmund goalkeeper Kobel saved Goncalves' shot, only for Porro, on loan from Manchester City, to head in and seal the victory nine minutes later.

Donyell Malen scored for the visitors in extra time, but it was all but a consolatory goal for a side who lacked adequate firepower in the final third as their star forward Erling Haaland was still sidelined due to injury.

The goal, however was not enough to prevent the side from crashing out of the Champions League but have earned a place at the Europa League.

Man Utd Hold Initial Talks With Valverde Over Interim Job

Manchester United has held preliminary conversations with Ernesto Valverde as their hunt for a caretaker manager until the end of the season intensifies.

Valverde is one of a handful of potential candidates who have met with United, and it is believed that other well-known managers are also in the running.

Following the termination of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last week, United are undergoing a rigorous process to pick an interim manager before looking for a permanent replacement.

The club intends to make a permanent appointment at the end of the season, and Mauricio Pochettino of Paris Saint-Germain is their primary choice, with Ajax coach Erik Ten Hag also being considered.

United are not ruling out the idea of hiring a permanent manager in the middle of the season, even if an interim manager is appointed first.

Although Pochettino declared on Monday that he is "very pleased" at PSG and will not let United's desire to distract him from his current duty, it is thought that the former Tottenham manager would be interested in moving to Old Trafford.

Pochettino joined PSG in January and has a deal through the summer of 2023 with the Ligue 1 club.

If available, United would consider a number of high-calibre individuals for a longer-term position.

The club wants to take its time finding the right person in the long run, with the interim manager being seen as someone who can rapidly offer stability and momentum for the remainder of the season.

Valverde has been unemployed since January 2020, when he was fired by Barcelona, who were leading La Liga at the time.

During his two-and-a-half years at the Nou Camp, the 57-year-old won two Spanish crowns and the Copa del Rey, and he is also a three-time Greek champion during his time with Olympiakos.

CBN’s MPC Retains Interest Rate

The Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Nigeria has retained the benchmark interest rate, MPR at 11.5%, whilst other monetary parameters remain unchanged.

This was disclosed by the CBN Governor, GODWIN EMEFIELE, while reading the communique at the end of the 282nd Monetary Policy Committee meeting.

The MPC stated that its policy over the previous months has begun to show results, owing to the 4.03% growth in real GDP and the 6th consecutive monthly decline in headline inflation.

The CBN governor noted the continued moderation in the headline inflation, which he attributed to a marginal decline in the food and core components of the inflation index in October 2021.
