jurgen klopp called it a disappointing end to the season but not a disappointing season. he wanted to celebrate what he said was still a success and you can see here what it meant to the fans, just a short while ago the red mess, the fireworks, the you will never walk alone that was ringing out, various childs, various instruments, it was hard at times to make out what was going on, a cacophony of noise and emotion, scenes we saw back in 2019 when liverpool lifted the champions league, scenes denied to them in 2020 because of the pandemic, no parade for the premier league, and i felt there was a pent—up emotion that really came out here that was expressed, liverpool and ijurgen expressed, liverpool and i jurgen klopp expressed, liverpool and ijurgen klopp have won all now in his time in the club, all the leagues, cups, the two trophies missing with —— the two penalty shoot—out winds to chelsea. wa other than basis a note wasn't a quadruple, not in trouble, but most would swap their season for what liverpool went through, there were shattering disappointment last n

liverpool have a 2—0 advantage but jurgen klopp has urged his side to take no chances. liverpool should have rested players returning but it is a match they know comes with added pressure with the possible quadruple of trophies on the cards. juergen klopp has said not to be complacent and i'm not complacent either. if we get a goal we can go through. either. if we get a goal we can go throu~h. ., ., ., either. if we get a goal we can go throu~h. ., ., , , either. if we get a goal we can go throu~h. ., . , , ,, ., through. not too many nerves knowing the cushion will _ through. not too many nerves knowing the cushion will see _ through. not too many nerves knowing the cushion will see you _ through. not too many nerves knowing the cushion will see you through. - the cushion will see you through. before the tie, they had taken two. best team — before the tie, they had taken two. best team in europe in my opinion, best team — best team in europe in my opinion, best team in — best team in europe in my opinion, best team in the _ best team in europe in my opinion, best

jurgen klopp called it a disappointing end to the season but not a disappointing season but not a disappointing season itself and the parade has set off, about eight miles of this city will be covered by this liverpool parade. we can show you some of the helicopter pictures at the moment with the parade setting off at lipm, on time, it started at allerton maze in the south of the city, travelling northbound on queens drive towards the five ways roundabout and then onto the rocket flyover which people will know well. then it is going along queens drive, millbank, westlb road, islington and leeds street and then back at the strand, they held a famous parade here in liverpool in 2019 when they celebrated champions league success and they missed out in 2021 having won the premier league during the pandemic, there was no parade ad jurgen klopp's dream was to show off four trophies or three trophies this time around but that wasn't to be but they have two, the league cup and the fa cup, the two domestic successes against chelsea is what the liverpool fans will get to celebrate with the team today and

jurgen klopp's side needed another wembley shootout, as it finished 6—5 on penalties. the game finished 0—0 after extra time. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor was there. well, what could be an historic season for liverpool, and the players are celebrating behind me, having won this penalty shoot—out 6—5. the game finished 0—0 after normal time and then after extra time as well, meaning that it went to penalties. and in the end it was kostas tsimikas who scored that all—importa nt penalty. remember, liverpool are hoping to win four trophies this season, the quadruple, no english team has ever achieved that feat. jurgen klopp is a serial winner, he has won the champions league and he has won the premier league but this is the first time he has won the fa cup, and the eighth time that liverpool have won it. their attention now turns to the premier league in the champions league at the end of the month, and like i said, and historical season lives on for liverpool and all involved with the club. if you want to edit these astons, you must take control of th

they both start, they came through late fitness tests last night, jurgen klopp happy with what he has seen. it is a front three of liverpool that we expected of sadio mane, who after his own quadruple, he can do the quadruple whereas liverpool cannot after getting pipped by man city because he won the africa cup of nations as well as the fa cup and league cup and of this the most salah, who scored a fantastic 31 goals this season, eight in the champions league, and diaz from colombia. liverpool at full strength. but so are real madrid, they have a world beating, world stars in their midst. karim benzema, the frenchman, playing the season of his life. a0 for goals he has scored, 15 of them in the champions league. liverpool will have to keep them quiet. then luka modric in midfield, they are a magnificent team. it is so difficult to call which way this will go. jurgen klopp is betting liverpool as the underdogs although i think that is a bit of semantics going on! you have outlined _ is a bit of semantics going on! you have outlined the pedigree and history and experience within both t

yeah, jurgen klopp is a man who says if it is not broken, do not fix it, and he has gone with the starting xi we all expected, mo salah, sadio mane and diaz as well. like you say, liverpool are on the search for the quadruple, they have already won one trophy by beating chelsea in the league cup, this would be the second of the season, they are still in line, with the champions league final and they are chasing manchester city in the league as well, so some pretty strong liverpool team, plenty of talent on the bench as well, and thomas tuchel says he'll chelsea players do not need any lift, jurgen klopp surely in a similar position, where he will be saying you are on the verge of history, he has already said that days like this do not come often, don't take it for granted, you don't know when you will next be here, holly. so the atmosphere is building, the stadium is filled, i don't know if you can hear in the background, i promised that if peter tong was on air, i would give you a little two step, i cannot guarantee it will be good, but here it is, as promised! this it will be good, but h

klopp unimpressed. he thought there had been a foul — this at least should've cheered him up as liverpool promptly equalise. lashing at home to make it all square at the break. so could they find a weather was like they were sort of chances, but none of them would go in. the tension was palpable. finally though, they got their reward. a looping headerfrom joel though, they got their reward. a looping header from joel met up spiking delight among the players and relief among the fans. not a goal of the year contender, but that hardly mattered. the title race goes to the final day — and while liverpool need manchester city to slip up, they'll believe anything is still possible. andy swiss, bbc news. that put forest 1—0 up on the night and 3—1 ahead on aggregate. sheffield united struck back with goals from john fleck to make it 3—3 on aggregate and force extra time. nothing to separate them there, so penalties needed. the hero of the night was breeze rembert, the final one from gibbs white spark

_ relatively new into the tenure of jurgen klopp but they are more than ready— jurgen klopp but they are more than ready now — it's estimated around 60,000 liverpool supporters have made it to paris to cheer on those players. those fans have been in fine voice across the city today, the liverpool fan park here a sea of red. officially the club has been given 23,000 tickets for the match and these supporters are excited about a potential seventh european cup victory. they aren't that much of the real madrid fans are in fine voice as well. i madrid fans are in fine voice as well. ., _ ., , , well. i would say we are pretty confident _ well. i would say we are pretty confident. i— well. i would say we are pretty confident. i am _ well. i would say we are pretty confident. i am not _ well. i would say we are pretty confident. i am not sure, - well. i would say we are pretty confident. i am not sure, i- well. i would say we are pretty. confident. i am not sure, i think well. i would say we are pretty - confident. i am not sure, i think we are favourites _ confident. i am not sure, i t

klopp said it was a disappointing end to the season but not a disappointing season, a double is something they want to celebrate and thousands of people have turned up on the strand, we have been waiting a while here but we are told in the next 20 minutes that open top bus you'd finally be arriving here, the women also are celebrating their championship title and promotion to the women's super league. the songs continue to be sung, we have had drums as well, they'll waiting patiently and hopefully in the next 20 or so minutes they will catch sight ofjurgen klopp and the and women's players on those top buses. —— men's and women's players. to wembley next, where nottingham forest will be playing premier league football after beating huddersfield 1—0 at wembley. adam wild is there for us, the game has literallyjust finished. what a huge moment for forest. yes, 1999 was the year that forest were relegated from the premier league, 23 long years they are fans have had to suffer, but they are now back at premier league. i whole generation of forest fans hadn't seen their team play in the

that might be the most important half—time team talkjurgen klopp has ever given. we knew this tight ground required cool heads and liverpool seem to have lost theirs inside the first three minutes, but they regained their composure and jurgen klopp is now the first manager to reach champions league, fa cup and league cup finals in the same season. tomorrow we will see of manchester city can make it another all english affair. natalie pirks, thank you for that. that's it. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night. hello there. after generally cloudy skies of the past few days, wednesday brings the promise of something brighter. more sunshine on the cards with that will trigger some heavy thundering downpours. generally a cloudy start to the day on wednesday. we'll see patchy outbreaks of rain shifting eastwards brighter skies will so, a generally cloudy start to the day on wednesday. we'll see patchy outbreaks of rain shifting eastwards. brighter skies will feed in as we move through the day from the west, and with that sunshine, we co

jurgen klopp's side are fresh off winning the fa cup on saturday having already won the league cup earlier in the year. victory would see their hopes of winning the premier league kept alive, and they have the champions league final against real madrid later this month. don't know when city dropped points the last time, two games in a row, historically. so i don't expect city to drop points there but it has no influence on our game tomorrow. so in either world we go in the larch match day and one point behind. from today's point of view the perfect scenario and that's what we try to do. in italy's serie a — giorgio chiellini's farewell to football saw him play the opening 18 minutes in the 2—2 draw against lazio as he leaves the club after 18 years in turin. the 37—year—old won nine league titles at the club and five coppa italia's and was given a rousing send off while paulo dybala will also leave at the end of the season after the club opted not to renew the argentine international�*s contract. world number 2 daniil medvedev plays his first tournament since the end of march whe

klopp's joined supporters' groups in criticising the number of tickets they've been given for the final in paris against real madrid. the spirit of shankly supporters group has written a letter to uefa protesting at the decision to give liverpool an allocation of fewer than 20,000 for the game at the stade de france. and liverpool's manager thinks more of the 75,000 capacity should be filled by fans of the clubs involved. when you see the ticket prices and all this kind of stuff, the amount of tickets you only get... i'm not sure, is it right, we get only 20,000, they get 20,000, 75,000 in? that makes 35,000, what? where are these tickets? the most pressing question heading into the latest round of the premier league title race is how will manchester city respond to their dramatic champions league defeat on wednesday night? they're still a point above liverpool in the table with four games to go, with city taking on newcastle on sunday. city's manager said today he hadn't even discussed what happened in madrid with his players. no words can help to feel what all of us _ no words can hel

and they also have a german manager, jurgen klopp, who is really a human phenomenon. he's essentially a large teutonic care bear dispensing life wisdom and hugs on the road to glory and liverpool are challenging for an unprecedented quadruple, a clean sweep of every tournament they've entered. and it is remarkable to watch these two different approaches, these two heavyweights week on, week, round and round, just slaying all comers. gef: you always paint quite a picture. i want to ask you about dane murphy, because this is quite an inspiring story. he's this 36 year old arican, a former dc united player. he successfully turned around the once great but more recently underachieving nottingham forest football club. tell us about him. roger: dane murphy is an intriguing story. he is a 36-year-old from reddg, connecticut. he was a professional footballer in mls and nottingham forest are essentially a gray gdens of a footballing club. they were great in the 1980s but they have fallen below the ice and they're in a essentially the footballing equivalent of aaa baseball. in

jurgen klopp's side are still in with a chance of claiming four trophies, having already won the league cup, are in the fa cup final and sit second in the premier league and there's real belief among the team. this is always the best time of the season for the lads, everything is a final, pushing on all fourfronts everything is a final, pushing on all four fronts really, it's, these are the exciting games you want to be playing, you want everything on the line you want everything on the line you want everything on the line you want to feel like you have to win it, ifeel like you want to feel like you have to win it, i feel like the lads feel the same way comics exciting the buzz you get from scoring again and you know it's vitally important. it sounds like something out of a 1940s sci—fi horror film — a mysterious yellow slime called the blob. it has no brain or nervous system, but it can make decisions and even solve puzzles. now scientists in belgium are allowing families to adopt a blob of their own. the bbc�*s tim allman explains. it looks a bit like scrambled eggs gone wrong,

jurgen klopp's side lost out on the premier league and champions league titles, in the last eight days. but they returned from paris to a heroes welcome as tens of thousands of fans lined the streets to see them parade the fa cup and league cup which they one this season, as well as the fa women's championship. it's been a 23 year wait, but nottingham forest are back in the premier league, after a narrow win over huddersfield town in the championship play—off final at wembley. it's a victory worth around $214 million. they are back to the top—flight after a brilliant turnaround to their season, where they had started with six defeats in seven. the african champions league final takes place later today in casablanca. record 10 time winners al ahly face wydad casablanca in a one off match, which is controversially taking place in morocco at wydad's homeground. egyptian giants ahly are seeking an unprecedented third title in a row, while wydad are aiming for their third crown and a first since 2017. to tennis, rafael nadal set—up a quarter—final tie against his long time rival nov

jurgen klopp's side went 2—0 down on the night in their second leg in spain, which saw the tie level, but three second half goals saw the six—time european champions triumph on the night also providing a convincing win over both legs. it is so hard to get to the finals, especially the amount of good teams that are in this competition, and to get to the finals, an incredible feeling. it is going to be a special occasion, we are looking forward to it. there are a lot of games from now till then but the season has been extended and we are so happy about it. we will try and make it number seven. liverpool will face the winner of manchester city and real madrid's semifinal. the second leg will be played later at the bernabeu in the spanish capital with city holding a slender 4—3 lead. pep guardiola's side are aiming for a second successive final in this competition having lost the decider to chelsea last year, and one of their star players believes the club need to move to the next level. i think it would change the perspective from our side. i don't think obviously as a player you wan

jurgen klopp�*s side drew with tottenham at the weekend. that, coupled with city�*s win over newcastle, means liverpool are three points behind the leaders and can�*t afford any slip ups when they play at aston villa later. the momentum may now be with manchester city, but klopp says liverpool will keep fighting to the end: we both have three games to play and my concern is actually how can we win our games and get up and house city can play their games, but before they are played we need to get ahead on points, we aren�*t doing that and said isn�*t doing that. if it is reachable anymore, why should we stop. next to some possible big transfer news — erling haaland�*s move from borussia dortmund to manchester city could be confirmed this week. bbc sport has heard from separate sources that a $77 million transfer for the 21—year—old norwegian striker is agreed, with an announcement expected soon in germany. city are refusing to respond to the widespread reports. it�*s thought that virtually all parts of the transfer are agre

jurgen klopp has never won the fa cup, and a win today would see them remain on course for that unprecedented quadruple we have been talking about. they are already into the final of the champions league, second in the premier league, and the league cup already secured. in the league cup already secured. in the last few minutes, mo salah has been taken off, which looks like an injury. a lot of worried —looking liverpool fans there at wembley. somehow, no goal so far. you can follow that on bbc one. nottingham forest lead sheffield united 2—1 after the first leg of their championship play—off semi—final. forest, the visitors at bramall lane, dominated the first half — philip zinkernagel�*s shot was saved but jack colback followed up to make it 1-0. blades defenderjohn egan was caught napping by forest'sjoe lolley in the second half — they'd had numerous chances but this one was finally put away by brennanjohnson, 2—0 to forest going into injury time. but in the 91st minute, sheffield united pulled one back — sander berg gave them hope going into the second leg on tuesday nigh

that might be the most important half—time team talkjurgen klopp has ever given. we knew this tight ground required cool heads and liverpool seem to have lost theirs inside the first three minutes, but they regained their composure and jurgen klopp is now the first manager to reach champions league, fa cup and league cup finals in the same season. tomorrow we will see of manchester city can make it another all english affair. natalie pirks, thank you for that.

jurgen klopp called it a disappointing end but not a disappointing end but not a disappointing season. he said even if the rest of the world thinks we are mad holding a parade, we are going to hold it and celebrate the successes because from 4pm this afternoon, liverpool will parade the league cup and fa cup, lazing around just over eight miles of the city and they will end up at the strand so bearing in mind, the fans that are behind me next to the historic cunard building, just a few minutes from albert dock, just opposite us here, the fans have been lining up, getting in prime position to celebrate with the team, inevitably, the energy is not going to be where it would have been if liverpool had managed to pull off the win last night, instead being beaten by real madrid, it has been a disappointing week for them because they narrowly missed out on the premier league as well, manchester city finishing a point ahead of them and the one thing i would add is that the last time liverpool lost a champions league final, the following season, they won it and the women will be part of the p

we are getting ready to suffer as jurgen klopp said liverpool will with this distinctly english weather but villarreal are the surprise package, the second smallest side in the competition's history with a population smaller than clacton—on—sea but have been very much punching above their weight. theirformer arsenal much punching above their weight. their former arsenal boss is their manager and they have beaten by munich and juventus en route to the semifinals but with a wage bill four times smaller than liverpool, they didn't lay a glove on them at anfield, just one shot to liverpool's 19. anfield, just one shot to liverpool's19. but here at home it might be different. a very tight ground and vociferous support. liverpool though are firing on all cylinders in their quest for that historic quadruple and aiming to become the first side to become champions of england, conquer europe and win the fa cup and the league cup. liverpool have already played 56 matches as part of the season but speed is one of the hallmarks of their game and we do not expect it to change any time soon. time

klopp, he has won every trophy good albanian english football, the premier league, the champions league, the fa cup, the super cup, the club world cup. let's not take away from the disappointment of missing out on the quadruple and missing out on the quadruple and missing out on a troubled, but for the players, this is what it means to be a footballer at liverpool football club and perhaps the message from mohamed salah and sadio mane a is that he gets to sign a contract and this is an opportunity for them to realise what it is to blame for this team and i'm not sure there are many other football clubs in world football that would see scenes like this for some would say, only, only winning two trophies, the fa cup in the league cup other than manchester city, every other city would swap in a second places with liverpool for scenes like this and the fans have turned out in their numbers in their thousands as you can see, to take this moment in, with the players, with the men's team, the women's team, holding the trophy is a lot. liverpool's great success at wembley, those back—to—bac

jurgen klopp told the bbc that playing wordle has kept him going. the older you get, the happier you are that you can remember words! it's so true! if you tell it to a 20—year—old that we play wordle. .. why would you do that? when you play it with 55, you think... it's quite good! there is happiness that it still works. still words in the brain? yeah, exactly! so, could tomorrow�*s five—letter word be glory? well, history suggests it might. back in 1981, liverpool met real madrid in the final here in paris, and beat them. alan kennedy... and he goes on, and he scores! left—back alan kennedy was their unlikely matchwinner and 41 years on, he told me he expects a repeat. i think that they can go all the way. i think this team could be classed as one of the greatest ever liverpool teams. and i will be shouting for them, and i will be willing anybody, and i hope it is the left back, to score a goal! and if they do, expect more scenes like this. after their last triumph three years ago, they paraded the trophy through liverpool. now one of the

for have got at the moment with jurgen klopp, it's on course for greatness so it can be really special. paris, european royalty, madrid, liverpool, can't get better than that. last year, adelaide united'sjosh cavallo became the first top—flight footballer in the men's game to come out as gay. the 22—year—old has since inspired others to follow suit. recently, he's been offernig his support to blackpool�*s jake daniels, who at 17 years old, is the uk's only openly gay active male professional footballer. i'm really excited and i'm proud, because that's the point of my story and what i did, for people like jake and people around the world that i don't know personally that can relate to my story and feel connected when i don't even know them. it's really exciting to see someone follow in my footsteps and i can have someone i can talk to now and relate, and we just get each other because we went through the same storyjust in different countries. my main advice is to embrace who you are and enjoy it. mate, you have opened a new chapter, this is your new life, go out there and live i

amazing for jurgen klopp. the first manager to reach the league cup final, fa cup final and champions league final in the same season. that is how high the same season. that is how high the bar has been raised. a third champions league final in five years. it wasn't straightforward last night, as 0lly foster can tell us. he's in villareal. morning. the final awaits for liverpool and their fans but it was not straightforward, was eight, with villareal levelling the tie after those two goals in the first half? it really wasn't. jurgen klopp said at half—time he had 11 problems to deal with. — at half—time he had 11 problems to deal with. the l'0real were absolutely brilliant. but liverpool were not— absolutely brilliant. but liverpool were not complacent. they knew the thread _ were not complacent. they knew the thread villareal had. yes, they beat them _ thread villareal had. yes, they beat them 2-0 _ thread villareal had. yes, they beat them 2-0 at— thread villareal had. yes, they beat them 2—0 at

nathan redmond firing the saints ahead, leaving jurgen klopp unimpressed. he thought there'd been a foul — well, this at least should've cheered him up, as liverpool promptly equalised. takumi minamino lashing at home to make it all square at the break. so, could they find a winner? well, they weren't short of chances, but none of them would go in! the tension was palpable. finally, though, they got their reward. a looping header from joel matip spiking delight among the players and relief among the fans. not a goal of the season contender, perhaps but that hardly mattered. so the title race goes to the final day — and while liverpool need manchester city to slip up, they'll believe anything is still possible. andy swiss, bbc news. nottingham forest are through to the championship play—off final after beating sheffield united on penalties. brennanjohnson opened the scoring — that put forest 1—0 up on the night, and 3—1 ahead on aggregate. but sheffield united struck back, with goals from morgan gibbs—white and john fleck to make it 3—3 on ag

the last major trophy jurgen klopp has to win in his time at english trophy. look at the moment they made it over the line. sadia manny missed his penalty. liverpool's standing left back with nerves of steel to take what proved to be the winning penalty. liverpool getting the job done to the delight ofjurgen klopp. regarding the chase for the quadruple, manchester city plate manchester city today. they can still be in with a shout of winning the premier league if they winning the premier league if they win their next game, liverpool. that champions league final to come as well at the end of the month. the have these two trophies. often a competition thatjurgen klopp has been accused of not taking seriously but he has delivered the league cup and the fa cup this season. disappointment for chelsea, euphoria for liverpool. we have the lawnmower is out, they are working hard to get the pitch looking immaculate because we have the men's final and a women's final across the same weekend for the first time. fix, women's final across the same weekend for the first ti

jurgen klopp confident but certainly will not be complacent now they've got so close to what would be their third champions league final injust five seasons. nothing is taken for granted so you better treat it carefully and be ready but we will be, we want to go to the final. if villareal is better than us and beats us with a result that qualifies them for the final, then congratulations, that's it, but between now and then, the 95 or however many minutes of play, we _ will look forward to it. looking forward to it! you really can take nothing for granted in this tournament. as far as villareal concerned, we are not going to see the same line—up. we have seen bigger deficits than this. to the fans there feel nervous or confident? —— do the fans? fans there feel nervous or confident? -- do the fans? they are incredibly confident. _ confident? -- do the fans? they are incredibly confident. liverpool - confident? -- do the fans? they are incredibly confident. liverpool have | incredibly confident. liverpool have only lost three times this season. villareal have to win by at least t

klopp's joined supporters' groups in criticising the number of tickets they've been given for the final in paris. the spirit of shankly supporters group has written a letter to uefa protesting at the decision to give liverpool an allocation of less than 20 thousand for the game at the stade de france. and liverpool's manager thinks more of the 75 thousand capacity should be filled by fans of the clubs involved. when you see the ticket prices on the scanner stock, the amount of tickets you get only... i'm not sure, is it right, we get only 20,000, they get 20,000, 70,000 in? that makes 35,000, white? aware of these tickets? —— what? league two crawley town have parted company with manager john yems, following allegations of racism and discriminatory conduct towards the club's players. yems had been suspended indefinitely last month, with the football association looking into what the club said were "serious and credible accusations". the league two club said yems will leave immediately by mutual consent. bbc sport has approached yems for comment. let's have a quick look at some of th

klopp is now targeting what would be a seventh european title. this competition is really difficult, it's really, really difficult, and we did it now the third time, really special. and we really want to give it a go, a proper, proper go, and then we will see. having won both domestic cups, this club now knows it has the chance to elevate what already been a memorable season. but to do so, it'll have to beat the most successful team in the history of european competition. dan roan, bbc news, liverpool. we return now to our top story, and the publication of sue gray's report into lockdown parties at downing street. with full details about the scale of rule—breaking parties in downing street laid bare, some conservative mps in particular will be watching closely to see what impact it might have on the public mood. alex forsyth has been to esher in surrey, a long—held conservative constituency which the lib dems plan to target at the next election. on a drizzly day in a small surrey village, the piglets play centre's something of a haven for par

so you had from jurgen klopp in it nestor mcgregor�*s report. what about tuchel, ? nestor mcgregor�*s report. what about tuchel,? backing it up. they were beaten here, last season by leicester city, and more recently, by liverpool in the carabao cup final, and you will remember that tuchel made the decision to bring on a specialist penalty save her, for the shoot—out, but in the end, it was the kick that went over the bar and liverpool won the trophy. plenty of people saying surely thomas tuchel won't do the same again? the chelsea manager, as you will now here, isn't ruling it out. in approaching the match, we always say, let's wait for the match, let's see how the game goes, how make if we have a changed and available, if how the match goes, how we feel... if it has never been done before and it will not be done now, but we have a plan it, what we can do, we feel we are again a pro—judgement prepared, the atmosphere is right, the momentum after the reaction... —— we are again prepared. and everyone knows what we're up to and we to arrive of course to giv

jurgen klopp said it was not a successful end to the season but still a successful season. that is why they are out there, mixed emotions for many liverpool fans, celebrating a great season, how close they came, but reflecting also on a lot of anger about what happened last night inside and outside the stadium. neil atkinson is a liverpool fan and presenter of the anfield wrap podcast who was in the thick of it last night. he did manage to get into the stadium but told me there were a lot of angry and disappointed fans in paris last night. coming out, though, i mean, this idea that it is about ticketless fans, it was absolutely horrendous. i had a direct message this morning from a woman who is five months pregnant, who was tear—gassed after the match. so this isn't about who has got tickets or who hasn't. this is about police brutality. so the french police can make any statement that they like. they are absolutely in the wrong on this one. it was horrendous around the ground afterwards, it really was. it was deeply unsafe. there was only two ways in and out of the compl

jurgen klopp has won the premier league, the champions league, neverthe the premier league, the champions league, never the fa cup, and he says he doesn�*t take days like this for granted, and he knows the fans can be the difference as well. his team play heavy metal football, we know it is entertaining, and behind me, world famous dj peter tong will be doing the premature entertainment, so if he does come on, you might see me too stepping! in about an hour, we should get the team news. —— you might see me two—stepping. team news. -- you might see me two-stepping-_ team news. -- you might see me two-stepping. this is chelsea's only chance for a — two-stepping. this is chelsea's only chance for a bit _ two-stepping. this is chelsea's only chance for a bit of— two-stepping. this is chelsea's only chance for a bit of silverware - two-stepping. this is chelsea's only chance for a bit of silverware this i chance for a bit of silverware this season, and you can�*t imagine they would lose another final. season, and you can't imagine they would lose another final.— would lose anot

jurgen klopp has in the past described his players as "mentality monsters", and this is one of the ways they enhance the power of the mind, in training by monitoring the players' brains — this is defender trent alexander arnold and konstantinos tsimikas — using technology which they hope will give them the edge. as for any team talk from the manager, it won't be a case of being motivated by revenge for losing to real in 2016. you don't need any more motivation in the champions league final — all the focus is on going and performing, that's all we dreamt of as kids, to play in big games and it doesn't get much bigger than the champions league final against madrid. we know it'll be really tough, they are a fantastic side, a world—class side, world—class players all over the pitch. so we know we need to be at 100% if we're going to have any chance of winning. northern ireland captain marissa callaghan has sustained a foot injuryjust six weeks before euro 2022. the 36—year—old missed cliftonville's win over glentoran on wednesday, but was present at solitude on crutches. she i

this is what will be happening later with thomas dougal getting off his seat and jurgen klopp and they will walk up to the technical area and spend most of the game here and imagine this —— tuchel. pressure, the eyes of the world on you, the cacophony of noise as you roar your instructions and get animated with your players and roar them on but now, what a difference at this time of day! 20 to seven on a saturday morning, it is so special. i think we should maybe just take in the silence for a moment, take in the peace and quiet. of wembley stadium at the start of 0f wembley stadium at the start of this famous fa cup final weekend. sighs. mike, you've probably been in a few stadiums, haven't you? there is something rather remarkable about major stadiums like that without people, you know, head of the noise and the excitement. —— ahead of. it's a special time to be here. you are right, there's twickenham, the years gone by the millennium stadium, wembley, it is. they kicked me out, by the way, before anyone gets here by ten o'clock, but it's a privilege and it does make your hai

jurgen klopp setting up his dream of a quadruple. they have done it again in the fa cup. the drama of a shoot—out which lasted 0—0 after extra time. the —— sadio mane a had the opportunity to win it for liverpool but his penalty was saved. the substitute had to step up and take the decisive penalty and he won it for liverpool. and that is every major english trophy won forjurgen klopp. two down and two to go but the premier league title race still in contention and our european champions league final to play later this month. chelsea the first team to lose three consecutive finals. can chelsea women put that right today? they have had an outstanding season, 18 wins out of 22 games. manchester city have won 13 games across all competitions. two titans going head—to—head. we heard from the city forward earlier. i was also speaking to kelly smith, she has won the fa cup five times and she has been giving me her thoughts about theirfinal this been giving me her thoughts about their final this afternoon. nerves can get the better view sometimes. the players will be

klopp's side are a point behind defending champions manchester city ahead of the final day on sunday. and staying with english football, a man has been arrested after the sheffield united captain billy sharp was assaulted as his side lost to nottingham forrest on penalties in their championship play—off semi final... sharp was knocked to the ground during a pitch invasion and required stitches. he's taken to social media in the last hour to thank fans for their support. forrest have apologised and said they will be issuing a lifetime ban. that's all the sport for now. let's get some more now on the international criminal court sending its biggest ever team to ukraine to investigate alleged war crimes. maria varaki is co—director of the war crimes research group at king's college london. good to have you with us. this is the largest ever team the international criminal court has ever sent to ukraine. what does that tell us? ,., ., ., , tell us? good morning. it is true, it is an unprecedented _ tell us? good morning. it is true, . it is an unprecedented development. the icc sent t

i will tell you who doesn't need cheering up, jurgen klopp. he was in good spirits yesterday. it would be one of the moves of the summer, erling haaland expected to be announced this week. bbc sport has heard from separate sources the £63 million transfer for the norwegian is agreed, with an announcement expected soon in germany. city are refusing to respond to the widespread reports, but it's thought the deal is almost complete. a move which won't be lost on rivals liverpool either. although when it was put to jurgen klopp yesterday that pep guardiola thinks the whole country supports liverpool, hejust laughed. so he's clearly feeling fairly relaxed, despite trailing city in the title race. pep only needs seven points from their three remaining games to be crowned champions. klopp though denied there's a bias towards his club. i've no idea if the whole country is supporting us. i don't know that. it's not the feeling i get, actually, when we go to other places and play there. it's actually the opposite. but, erm, yeah, maybe he knows more about that than me. sunderland are o

jurgen klopps side went through, despite a bit of a scare in the first half of their second leg, they beat villareal 5—2 on aggregate. olly foster was there. a champions league semifinal should be tough. that's whatjurgen klopp said going into last night's game. you could see how impressed we were in the first half, and then coming back like we came back in the second half is really special. with 500 games, like it feels with the boys played, it's completely normal that a thing like in the first half can happen. but reacting like we reacted made it really special again. and i'm really happy about it. villarreal played like men possessed, knowing they had to score at least twice. the first came inside four minutes, dia finished off an exquisite move. rather than react, liverpool retreated. the former arsenal midfielder francis coquelin levelled the tie and sent the villarreal fans into delirium. liverpool's players looked lost. they were much better after the break. they had to be. fabinho put them ahead on aggregate with a shot that went through the keeper's legs. the substitute lui
