The Champions League trophy WE’RE NOW CLOSER to discovering the identity of the 2017 Champions League winners after the final two quarter-finals of the competition were decided last night. The remaining four teams can loosely be put into two categories — defensively solid and incredibly hard-to-beat sides (Atletico Madrid and Juventus), and highly entertaining teams with a wealth of attacking riches (Monaco and Real Madrid). Real Madrid are bidding to become the first side to retain the Champions League and earned an impressive if somewhat controversial victory over Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening. Fellow Spaniards Atletico were ruthlessly efficient as they got the job done against reigning Premier League champions Leicester. Diego Simeone’s men are highly experienced in the competition — it’s the third time in four years they have reached the semis but have yet to win outright. They will be aiming to avoid getting knocked out by bitter rivals Real for the fou...

MADRID (AP) – It had been a quiet season for Cristiano Ronaldo. Until he faced Bayern Munich. He was being outshone by the likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar both in the Spanish league and in the Champions League. He hadn't been scoring a lot of goals and was even jeered at times by Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. But things quickly changed in two decisive games against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarterfinals, when the star forward scored five goals to keep alive Madrid's hopes of retaining the trophy. Ronaldo had scored only two goals in the eight Champions League games he had played before the quarterfinals. He came into the series against Bayern in a scoring drought of nearly seven months in the European tournament, and had scored only once in his last five Madrid games in all competitions. In the Spanish league, Ronaldo's 19 goals leave him five behind Suarez and 10 behind Messi. But Ronaldo knew things were ...

JOSE MOURINHO has accepted on more than one occasion his first season at Old Trafford has been an imperfect campaign. But he maintained yesterday that there they can still cap it with the “perfect finale” in Stockholm next month and he has backed Wayne Rooney to make a telling contribution. The clock has been ticking down on Rooney’s Manchester United career as a succession of injuries and niggles have taken ever longer to shake off and Jose Mourinho has preferred other options. The club’s leading scorer has not started a game since the draw against Bournemouth at the beginning of March and has not made an appearance off the bench since the match against West Brom on April 1. Yet if it looks increasingly likely that the striker’s United career has just a month to run his manager believes it will still contain a glorious moment or two. And he is hoping to be able to call on Rooney’s experience from the bench against Anderlecht in their quarter final second l...

The midfielder was harshly sent off in the 84th minute of the second-leg clash at the Bernabeu. Bayern led 2-1 after 90 minutes to force extra time before the 10 men conceded three times to fall to a 6-3 aggregate defeat. Vidal was shown a second yellow card by Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai for a sliding tackle on Marco Asensio, while Bayern also felt Cristiano Ronaldo’s two extra-time goals should have been ruled out for offside. “When two top teams come up against each other, the referee must not be a clown who turns the game into a show and gives Real the advantage,” Vidal said. “It is terrible, terrible. You could kill yourself. GETTY Arturo Vidal was shown a second yellow card before the game went to extra time GETTY Bayern Munich conceded three goals in extra time “When we led 2-1 they were scared. But then the referee started with his show and with a man less it is very difficult. This robbery can not go on in the Champions League.” Ronaldo’s third goal of the n...

There was to be no Comeback Part II, no repetition of that night against Paris Saint-Germain and no sign of the “madness” that Luis Enrique had hoped for. As the final seconds slipped away, flags waved all around the Camp Nou and the Barcelona fans sang. There was no recrimination and they had appreciated the effort, witnessing their team rack up 17 shots, but the supporters had long known that they were not heading into the  Champions League  semi-finals: this tie had been lost in the first 45 minutes in Turin. Juventus will be there instead, and deservedly so, after earning a clean sheet last night. Luis Enrique, Barcelona’s coach, had talked about making their opponents nervous, but that never happened. Watching them, you wondered if they ever worry. Andrés Iniesta, meanwhile, had spoken about the need to take the game into a place where it at least became possible, but  Barcelona  never got there. Juventus simply would not let them. It is 21 years since ...

Bonang Matheba South African Airways was forced to eat some humble pie when it issued an apology to TV personality Bonang Matheba for an earlier response to her complaint about the airline’s food. Matheba on Wednesday sent a tweet to SAA, complaining about some of the meals offered during a flight. “We don’t like the couscous. Also that meal with the stew. Please hey. Also the funny cheese platter what what. Please,” she tweeted SAA. Instead of a standard response, SAA hit back at Matheba, saying she was the only one complaining about the food served. “Hi, please note that other passengers enjoyed the meals,” it said. This cheeky reply did not sit well with Matheba, who clapped back, saying the airline should’ve rather apologised for the misshap before calling it a “trash airline”. Once tempers had cooled it seemed, the airline issued an apology to the starlet, saying “our Queen B, we at SAA love you. About our previous response, we are so sorry”.  Follow...
