3 h. ago Manchester United’s crazy comeback was inspirational – and a reality check

Overcoming Lyon with an emergency duo up front was electrifying but also showed deep flaws in Amorim’s squadBedlam, pandemonium, ecstasy and simply wow: Manchester United’s three-goal, six-minute (and 34 seconds) blockbuster extra-time comeback from 4-2 down is one for the ages, and a thrilling advertisement for the heart-stopping drama football can generate.Yet if the Harry Maguire header that KO-ed Lyon was a last, heroic act of a pell-mell, childhood-like jumpers-for-goalposts victory, it should also clang alarm bells for the fragile unit Ruben Amorim oversees, and cause a serious reality check.

9 d. ago Frattesi puts Inter in control with win at Bayern Munich after costly Kane miss

Bayern Munich have everything to do if they are to claim the Champions League on home turf. This was a party thoroughly spoiled by Inter, who might have feared the worst when Thomas Müller scored a rapturously-received equaliser five minutes from time. Müller’s 25-year spell at Bayern will end this summer and everybody thought they could read the script. Then the substitute Davide Frattesi ripped it up, adding to Lautaro Martínez’s brilliant opener and exacerbating the potential costliness of a glaring first-half miss from Harry Kane.“Kings of the cup”, a display from Bayern’s Südkurve had read before kick-off. In fairness Bayern genuinely believe they are: Real Madrid are the only institution with as discernible an aura, regardless of who is rolled out, when the Champions League reaches its business end.

1 week ago What They Found review – Sam Mendes’s debut documentary has the power to change viewers for ever

This tale of two British army sergeants who filmed the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp uses their profoundly disturbing footage. It’s TV that could alter your whole world viewWhat They Found, the first documentary by the film and theatre director Sam Mendes, is a short, stark shock. The film straightforwardly combines two precious artefacts held at the Imperial War Museum in London: 35mm film, shot by Sgt Mike Lewis and Sgt Bill Lawrie of the British Army Film and Photographic Unit, before and during the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp near the town of Celle in northern Germany in April 1945; and audio interviews given by the cameramen in the 1980s. Lewis and Lawrie did not record sound when they visited Belsen; the words they spoke years later are the only sounds we hear.Lewis and Lawrie do not arrive at Belsen until almost halfway through the film’s 36-minute running time. First, laid over generic archive footage, we hear how they came to be a...
