PSG 2-1 Liverpool: Reds drop to third in Champions League group after defeat

Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by PSG in their penultimate Champions League game to leave their hopes of reaching the knockout stages in the balance.  It took 13 minutes for PSG to take the lead at the Parc des Princes as Juan Bernat swept home at the near post before Neymar (37) slotted home after Edinson Cavani's flick was saved by Alisson. James Milner (45+1) pulled a goal back for Liverpool just before the break after the visitors were given a penalty when Angel Di Maria fouled Sadio Mane in the area. But neither side could find another goal in the second half and Group C will go down to the final matchday in two weeks' time, with Liverpool needing to beat Napoli 1-0 or by two clear goals to make it into the knockout rounds. Player ratings PSG:  Buffon (6), Kehrer, Thiago Silva (7), Kimpembe (6), Bernat (7), Verratti (7), Marquinhos (8), Mbappe (7), Neymar (7), Di Maria (7), Cavani (6). Subs used:  Alves (6), Choupo-Moting (5), Rabiot (5). Liverpool:  Ali

Ander Herrera ‘spat at Man City’ after United’s win

Spitting Ander Herrera is a Manchester United fan favourite, and during the Manchester derby, where of course Manchester United performed an amazing comeback and saw off Manchester City in the second half three goals to two, the player seemed to spit on the Manchester City crest as he was walking down the tunnel. Herrera spits on the ground, and while he may not have clocked the massive City badge on the floor, it was certainly quite to coincidence that his spit managed to hit the crest – and of course United fans loved it. Ander Herrera seems to spit while walking down the tunnel at the Etihad during the Manchester derby and it hits the Man City badge. Statement By winning the game and coming back from three goals down, United certainly made a huge statement and while City might secure the title and finish a long way ahead of United, Mourinho’s men have a small bit of pride back and showed that City can be beaten – and that they can go out and attack sides.

Real Madrid & Atletico Madrid play to draw in Derby, Ronaldo Scores.

Atletico Madrid  all but ended  Real Madrid 's slim  La Liga  title hopes as  Antoine Griezmann  cancelled out  Cristiano Ronaldo 's opener to earn a 1-1  Madrid derby  draw at the Bernabeu. Hosts Real were left frustrated as they passed up chances in the first half, with Ronaldo drawing saves from Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak and Marcelo hitting both the post and bar with the same effort. Ronaldo - who has been on red-hot form in front of goal in 2018 - finally made the breakthrough for Real after 53 minutes, volleying home a Gareth Bale cross as Atletico failed to clear their lines. The goal meant Ronaldo has scored in each of his last 10 games, with the Portuguese star netting an incredible 20 in that time - a rate of two per game.
