The fireworks were lit and the men in blue and red sprinted towards him from all sides: here, at last, it was. An epic Copa del Rey final, a first clásico final in 11 years, had a winner. They had been a goal up and a goal down, they had thought they had a last-minute penalty to win it only to watch it get taken away from them again, but now it was 3-2 and the Catalan side had done it.Done? Not quite, but very nearly. On an extraordinary night, there was still one last opportunity for Real Madrid when Kylian Mbappé was fouled in the area and the referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea pointed to the spot, only for the linesman’s flag to be up. They had fought a...

Premier League and FA Cup: 10 things to look out forToday’s fixtures | Latest tables | And mail us or post BTLA headline that certainly grabbed my attention this morning was David Moyes’s analogy of what it is like to manage Everton under new owners TFG.We’ve got a new lover coming in and we have to make sure we like them and it all goes well. People have been brought in to do it before and it didn’t work [with Farhad Moshiri]. We need to hope that we can say: ‘This is how it should be going, this is what Everton are required to do and this is how we need to do it.’”I love the frenzy around finishing fifth this year they’re all brilliant, aren’t they?
