Liverpool, who got a taste of their own medicine having scored deep in added time to knock Borussia Dortmund out in the quarterfinals, looked comfortable before Denis Suarez broke into the box and unselfishly squared for Lopez to sweep home.

In the other semifinal, holders Sevilla had their fingers briefly loosened from the trophy before grabbing a 2-2 draw at Shakhtar Donetsk that left them well-placed to progress.

Sevilla's bid to become the first side to lift the trophy three years running got off to a great start when they opened the scoring through Vitolo after six minutes.

Shakhtar produced a spirited response, though, with goals from Marlos and Taras Stepanenko to lead at halftime before ...Read More

French champions Paris Saint-Germain continue to tick off their remaining league fixtures as they welcome Rennes to the capital on Friday night, knowing that a win would equal their own Ligue 1 points record.

Laurent Blanc's men made it three French League Cup triumphs in a row last weekend, despite being reduced to 10 men, thanks to Angel Di Maria's winner against Lille.

Now they will turn their attention back to the league, where they are 27 points clear at the top of the table with just four matches to play.

PSG have just one game left this season of any real importance, the French Cup final against arch rivals Marseille at the Stade de France on May 21, although they need just four more points to.Read More click

Villarreal's mighty home record in this season's Uefa Europa League will be a major comfort as they come up against Liverpool in the semifinals, with visiting coach Jürgen Klopp yet to win a Uefa game in Spain

The sides are meeting for the first time in Uefa club competition, though they did play a pre-season friendly in 2008, drawing 0-0 at El Madrigal.

Villarreal's record in 13 Uefa games against English sides is W3 D6 L4 (W2 D4 L1 at home – W1 D2 L3 in England). They are without a victory in their last ten meetings with Premier League opponents having won all the first three.

Liverpool's 32 Uefa games against Spanish sides have ended W13 D10 L9 (W4 D6 L5 at Anfield – W7 D4 L4 in Spain). Those games include two final victories on neutral territory: 1-0 against Real Madrid CF in the 1981 European Champion Clubs' Cup final and 5-4 (after extra time) against Deportivo Alavés in the 2001 Uefa Cup final.

Villarreal are now unbeaten in 11 Uefa Europa League fixtures (W8 D3), and have won all six of their home games in this season's competition, conceding only once in the process...read more http://www.9jabet.com/2016/04/28/europa-league-vi…ol-match-preview/

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp called for bravery from his players if they are to overcome Villarreal to reach the Europa League final and maintain their hopes of Champions League football next season.

Klopp's men produced a sensational second-half comeback from 3-1 down to beat his old side Borussia Dortmund 4-3 at Anfield to reach the last four.

However, the German warned against complacency as, despite their lack of European pedigree compared to the English giants, Villarreal are enjoying a great season.

They sit fourth in La Liga behind perennial powerhouses Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

"We have to play brave football," Klopp told Uefa.com.

"We are now in the semifinals. We got there because we deserved it, and now we have to show we are strong enough to go through...........Read

A breathtaking individual goal from Saul Niguez put Atletico Madrid in the box seat in their Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich with a 1-0 victory in a tense first leg on Wednesday.

The midfielder magically weaved his way through the Bayern defence and produced a low finish that went in off the post to put the home side in front after 11 minutes.

Diego's Simeone's superbly-drilled outfit then snuffed out Bayern's threat and even came close to doubling their lead late on when Fernando Torres's shot struck the post.

"It was a great game, everyone believed in their work. We put in a huge effort," said Simeone, whose Atletico side have frequently been a scourge of more-fancied opponents with their disciplined rearguard frustrating Barcelona in the last round.

While Bayern's David Alaba also hit the woodwork with a thumping drive, the result left Pep Guardiola's side facing a huge task in next week's return leg in Munich to avoid a third successive semifinal exit........Continue Reading click   http://mybets9ja.com/saul-stunner-giv…e-against-bayern/

Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola conceded his side had paid a heavy price for a slow start as Saul Niguez's sensational 11th minute solo effort handed Atletico Madrid a slender 1-0 from their Champions League semifinal, first leg on Wednesday.

The German champions dominated possession, but struggled to create chances as Atletico held out for their 33rd clean sheet of the season to take a huge step towards their second final in three years.

"We had talked before the game about how Atletico tend to start well," said Guardiola, who will leave Bayern to join Manchester City at the start of next season.

Atlético Madrid and Bayern Munich have been regulars in the last four in recent years, although it is their meeting in the 1974 final that most sticks in the memory.

While Diego Simeone's Atlético have reached the last four for the second time in three years, Bayern are appearing at this stage for the fifth season in a row.

This tie will prompt particularly fond memories for Bayern, who claimed the first of their five European Cups in 1974 with victory against Atlético after a replay – the only time that happened in a final.

The teams have played only twice before, in that 1974 European Cup final – both sides' first. Atlético were seconds away from taking the trophy at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels before Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck's 120th-minute equaliser gave Bayern a 1-1 draw.

Two days later, the teams returned to the Heysel Stadium for what would be the only final replay in European Cup history, and this time Bayern ran out 4-0 winners thanks to two goals each from Uli Hoeness (28 82) and Gerd Müller (56 69). It was the first of what would be three successive final triumphs for Bayern.

This is Atlético's fifth European Cup semifinal; their record is W2 L2. Two years ago, they overcame Chelsea FC 3-1 on aggregate at...Read More click   //www.9jabet.com/2016/04/27/todays-big-match…vs-bayern-munich/

Champions League top-scorer Cristiano Ronaldo was a frustrated spectator as his Real Madrid side played out a slow-burning 0-0 draw at Manchester City in Tuesday's semifinal first leg.

Injury prevented the Portuguese superstar from adding to his 16-goal tally and in his absence the visitors were unable to convert the handful of chances they created, with a sensational late Joe Hart save to deny Pepe the closest either side came to a goal at the Etihad Stadium.

As an occasion, City's first semifinal appearance in the competition was a let-down, but by preventing Madrid from notching an away goal the tie's underdogs safeguarded their hopes of reaching the final ahead of next week's return leg at the Bernabeu.

"We played a very intense game and defended well," said City manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini vowed that his team would play with no fear in their Champions League semifinal second leg against Real Madrid following a 0-0 first-leg draw.

Missing the  Cristiano Ronaldo, Madrid created the better chances in Tuesday's game, but substitute Jese saw a header hit the bar and City goalkeeper Joe Hart produced late saves to thwart Casemiro and Pepe.

City, appearing in their first semifinal, did not work visiting goalkeeper Keylor Navas until Kevin De Bruyne found the target with a stoppage-time free-kick, but Pellegrini said that his side would show a greater cutting edge in next week's return leg in the Spanish capital.

"I don't think they are favourites," said the Chilean, who was sacked after only one season as Madrid head coach in 2010.

For all Mauricio Pochettino's fighting talk about remaining in the Premier League title chase, it was hard not to glimpse a white flag over White Hart Lane after Tottenham Hotspurs' lacklustre draw with West Bromwich Albion on Monday.

Instead of piling pressure on leaders Leicester City, who are now seven points ahead with three games remaining, Spurs have now given their rivals firm sight of a title which would be secured by victory at Manchester United on Sunday.

This is how many experts predicted the title race would play out. For weeks the focus has been on whether Claudio Ranieri's side would blink in the spotlight. But while they dazzled with a compelling 4-0 win over Swansea on Sunday, one day later Spurs appeared......Read more

The contrast in European Cup semifinal experience could scarcely be more extreme as Manchester City host Real Madrid in the first leg of their Uefa Champions League last-four tie.

While this is a first semi-final in the competition for City, Madrid are in the last four for a record 27th time – they have won 13 and lost 13 of their previous semi-finals.

Indeed, this is only City's third European semi-final across Uefa's club competitions, and their first since 1971. They beat FC Schalke 04 5-2 on aggregate in the 1969/70 European Cup Winners' Cup semifinals and lost 2-0 to Chelsea over two legs at the same stage of the same competition the following season.

Madrid, meanwhile, are in their 32nd European semi-final; their record is W17 L14. Although they are in a sixth successive Champions League semifinal, they have won only once in that sequence – against....read more click

Claudio Ranieri has told his Leicester City players "not to let the fantastic moments pass" and "make the dream a reality" by winning the Premier League.

The leaders beat Swansea 4-0 on Sunday to go eight points clear of Tottenham.

"This is the right moment to push," said manager Ranieri, whose team need a maximum of five points from their final three games to secure the title.

"I talked to my players before the game and said that it has been a dream so far, so now make the dream reality."

He added: "I told them give everything then we won't regret."

Leicester faced Swansea without striker Jamie Vardy, who was suspended.

Any doubts that the Foxes would struggle without their 22-goal top scorer were removed as Leonardo Ulloa, his replacement, scored twice after Riyad Mahrez's opener.

Marc Albrighton completed the scoring to give Leicester their biggest of the season.

Leicester City's Algerian winger Riyad Mahrez on Sunday became the first African player to be named English football's Player of the Year, as voted for by his fellow professionals.

The 25-year-old French-born Algerian international, outstanding in Leicester's incredible charge towards the Premier League title, received the trophy at a lavish awards ceremony in London.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli was named Young Player of the Year at the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) awards.

Paying tribute to his teammates, Mahrez, who succeeds Chelsea's Eden Hazard as the winner of the prize, told the ceremony: "All the credit is for them, seriously.

"And for my manager (Claudio Ranieri) and the staff. Without them I wouldn't receive this award and I wouldn't score. It's the team spirit, and I want to dedicate it to them.
