Champions League

Arsenal secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a 2-1 comeback victory over Girona, thanks to goals from Jorginho and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri.

Liverpool's emerging star, Conor Bradley, delivered a performance to remember during the team's 2-0 victory against Real Madrid in the Champions League. At only 21 years of age, Bradley's relentless energy and fearless tackles, particularly one against Kylian Mbappé, captivated the Anfield faithful and highlighted his potential as a future mainstay in the Liverpool defence. His significant contributions, including an assist, were essential to Liverpool's success in maintaining their lead in the group stage. While Bradley's fitness has now raised some concerns, his rise offers the team both immediate benefits and long-term stability, especially amidst speculation about Trent Alexander-Arnold's future with the club.

Arsenal delivered a stunning performance against Sporting CP in the UEFA Champions League, securing a historic 5-1 victory in Lisbon. The Gunners' emphatic win, featuring goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhães, Bukayo Saka, and Leandro Trossard, marks their largest away win in over 21 years in the competition. Manager Mikel Arteta hailed it as their best away European performance. Arsenal's dominance and tactical prowess propel them to seventh place in the Champions League table, boosting their aspirations as serious contenders in Europe.
