51 h. ago Saka and Martinelli fire Arsenal to last four after famous win at Real Madrid

When at last the never ending story reached its final page, there was Bukayo Saka standing at the north end of the Santiago Bernabéu shrugging a familiar shrug that says: how about that, then? And that was pretty special, Arsenal’s own story written as Mikel Arteta had demanded and a moment they will remember for a long time. Here was the goal that effectively put them into the semi-final of the Champions League for the third time in their history and a portrait of the way they had played here: an exercise in patience, control, and maturity.Precision and courage too. Saka had missed a first-half penalty that might have set up their passage sooner, but he was not sunk. None of them were: not by the legend, the atmosphere, the history, not by the quality of players in front of them either, the fatalism that saw so many others crumble and fall. Instead, the Santiago Bernabéu spell was broken, Real Madrid eliminated. And deservedly so. At no point really was Arsenal’s 3-0 lead from the ...

1 week ago Get Real: serial Champions League winners Madrid face fresh threat | Jonathan Wilson

Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Liverpool with verve and energy, are the upstart newcomers among big-name quarter-finalistsNarratives are never as straightforward as they may appear. One era does not yield easily to another. What constitutes an era changes over time. While history is happening it’s often hard to make sense of it; patterns seem to emerge that, from the perspective of 20 years later are meaningless, or culs-de-sac. That seems particularly true this season. As the Champions League reaches its quarter-final stage this coming week, it feels that one age has ended and another has yet to materialise.The past was a simpler place. First there was the age of dominance by Real Madrid and Benfica, teams from the capitals of Iberian nations under right-wing dictatorships, packed with great individuals. Then came systematisation, catenaccio and the Italian ascendancy, followed, with a brief period of crossover, by the era of domination by the northern European industrial powers, sk...

2 w. ago Stephen A Smith v LeBron James turns NBA’s narrator into a main character

ESPN’s biggest name has never been shy about giving his opinion. But now he is part of the drama he so often comments onWho would win in a fight between LeBron James and Stephen A Smith is a question only Stephen A Smith would think to ask. There has been little avoiding the question since the Los Angeles Lakers superstar confronted ESPN’s No 1 personality during a recent game against the New York Knicks. The player was venting his displeasure at Smith for his pointed comments about James’s eldest son, and Lakers teammate, Bronny – the 55th pick in last year’s NBA draft.James approached Smith, a courtside spectator for the game, and appeared to tell him to “keep my son out of this shit” – a callback to Smith questioning whether Bronny deserved to be on a league roster. Smith went on TV the next day to make clear that he wasn’t actually picking on Bronny, the player; he was really calling out LeBron as a bad father for setting a high bar for his son’s pro career. Smith would come bac...
