A bad couple of days for Premier League sides in the Champions League

Image
Where did all go wrong? Two draws and four defeats for Premier League sides in the Champions League Author | Josh T Real Madrid’s ruthless dismissal of Manchester City summed up a chastening 24 hours for the Premier League, with its claim to be the world’s strongest league placed under uncomfortable scrutiny. City now face a daunting task to keep their Champions League hopes alive after suffering a similar, though less chaotic, fate to Tottenham, who were beaten 5-2 by Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital a day earlier. Federico Valverde’s superb first-half hat-trick has left Real firmly in command of the tie, the Spanish champions carrying a 3-0 lead into the second leg of this last-16 encounter. The result capped a sobering run of outcomes for England’s leading clubs, all of whom now have work to do to preserve their involvement in Europe’s premier competition. The ok, the bad and the ugly for other sides Chelsea also unravelled after the interval, slipping to the same scoreline as...

Atletico Madrid 5 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur  We try to summarise a chaotic night for Spurs as their nightmare season continues Author | Greg S Stadium |  Metropolitano Tottenham’s calamitous campaign reached another bleak chapter as goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky endured a torrid 17 minutes before being substituted in a chastening Champions League defeat at Atletico Madrid. Handed a start ahead of Guglielmo Vicario, the 22-year-old Czech twice lost his footing in the opening stages, gifting goals to Marcos Llorente and Julian Alvarez.  In between those awful moments, Micky van de Ven also slipped, allowing Antoine Griezmann to add a third, before Robin Le Normand struck a fourth after just 23 breathless minutes.

Fulham 0 - 1 Southampton Ross Stewart struck a dramatic stoppage-time penalty as Championship side Southampton reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in four years. Author | Ajay Stadium | Craven Cottage The substitute fired his penalty beyond Benjamin Lecomte shortly after the 90-minute mark to seal a hard-earned victory over their Premier League hosts and extend Southampton’s unbeaten run to 10 matches in all competitions. The decisive moment arrived suddenly when referee Jarred Gillett pointed straight to the spot after Finn Azaz was brought down in the area by Joachim Andersen. Stewart, who suffered an Achilles injury at Craven Cottage in 2023 while playing for Sunderland, drove the penalty inside the left post to send Tonda Eckert’s resurgent side into the final eight. Fulham had earlier been denied what looked a clear opening goal in the 19th minute. Daniel Peretz’s goal kick struck team-mate Ryan Manning on the back and fell kindly to Rodrigo Muniz, who tapped into...

James Tavernier and Djeidi Gassama both missed from the spot following an absorbing, if often scrappy, contest. That left Tomas Cvancara with the chance to send Celtic into the last four after a match in which Rangers had long periods of control. When his penalty beat Jack Butland, Celtic supporters poured on to the pitch, quickly followed by Rangers fans. Police and stewards struggled to restore order as objects were thrown and tempers boiled over in the chaotic aftermath.
