This is all the reaction from the ongoing situation at Chelsea A story on the BBC website reads:  Roman Abramovich's attempt to sell Chelsea has been halted after the oligarch was sanctioned by the UK government as part of its response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Russian put the European champions up for sale after the threat of sanctions was raised in Parliament. The freezing of Abramovich's assets, which include Chelsea, means the club cannot sell further match tickets. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire told BBC Radio 5 Live: “In the short term, it’s to a large extent business as usual. Chelsea will be able to pay wages due at the end of March and will have other overheads.  "The government will have been working with the Premier League to try to ensure that there is no disruption as far as the remainder of the season. Ultimately it’s a sideshow given what is happening in Ukraine." The Chelsea Supports Trust released this statement. The CST imp

Bayern Munich 7 - 1 FC Red Bull Salzburg Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick inside the opening 23 minutes as Bayern Munich thrashed Red Bull Salzburg to qualify for the next round of the Champions League. The Poland captain confidently stroked home two penalties inside 21 minutes. He was twice recklessly brought down by Salzburg defender Maximilian Wober, the second confirmed after a VAR review. The first spot-kick was Lewandowski's 40th goal of the season in all competitions. He added his third after chasing down an attempted clearance from visiting goalkeeper Philipp Kohn. It is the first time a Champions League hat-trick has been completed as early as the 23rd minute. However, it is not the quickest treble in the competition.

Nottingham Forest 2 -  1 Huddersfield Town Forest came from behind to beat Championship rivals Huddersfield Town. They have set up a home FA Cup quarter-final against Liverpool.
