4 d. ago Dortmund banish some of their 2023 ghosts while Leipzig and Freiburg create their own | Andy Brassell

Niko Kovac oversaw a remarkable comeback but there is plenty of work to be done for BVB to challenge Bayern againThe last time Borussia Dortmund had enjoyed an end-of-season run-in as successful as this was that season. Nearly two years on Niko Kovac and company didn’t quite lay the ghost of 2023 but began to definitively draw a line under the fallout from it. On this occasion BVB faced what should have been a straightforward final day task at home and made it so. Where they had been cowed by nerves against Mainz in the last game of 2022-23 and let the Bundesliga slip through their collective fingers, this time they were ready to receive an unexpected opportunity.This time there was the right to a celebration, and there was the feeling that it had been earned. Pointing out that Saturday’s final-day win over already-relegated Holstein Kiel perhaps salvaged the bare minimum – a top-four place – from this season would be to miss the point and to disregard the context. BVB had been lang...

3 w. ago Wissa clinches win for Brentford to dent Nottingham Forest’s European hopes

This week Nottingham Forest readied themselves for the Champions League, Evangelos Marinakis relinquishing his controlling interest in the club to comply with Uefa’s ownership rules. Marinakis’s other club, Greek champions Olympiakos, have already qualified for the grandest stage in the club game but Forest’s bid to return to European competition will probably go to the wire. Will Forest, who remain sixth, look back on defeat at home to Brentford as a costly misstep when their season ends here against Chelsea, one of those teams vying for a top-five berth?Forest, who face Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham before that potential final-day showdown, never really got going on a disappointing evening. Goals from Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa, a January target for Forest, condemned the hosts to successive league home defeats for the first time since the end of last season. Nuno Espírito Santo’s side have now lost four of their past five matches in all competitions, including Sunday’s ...

3 w. ago Arsenal gunning to overhaul mighty Lyon and reach Champions League final

Renée Slegers’ side have hope in key players returning but have to win on the road against the eight-times championsAt first glance, the outlook does not look too promising for Arsenal, trailing 2-1 against Lyon from the first leg of their Women’s Champions League semi-final and needing to win at a club who have reached 11 previous finals. Nonetheless, there are reasons for Renée Slegers’ team to be cheerful as well as fearful before the biggest game of their season as they try to keep their European dream alive.Losing in London was certainly not in the 2007 European champions’ script but Arsenal won more of the duels, controlled more of the possession and had more efforts at goal than Lyon, who lead thanks to the hugely talented young Haiti midfielder Melchie Dumornay’s cool late finish. The Arsenal left-back Katie McCabe was adamant regarding her side’s capability to fight back, saying on Friday: “I believe we can go and be positive and score goals. We have the quality. We have th...
