Madrid count cost of Camavinga red but Diaz is a Bayern bargain
What a game! What a tie, in fact! Bayern Munich's Champions League quarter-final clash with Real Madrid had a bit of everything: great goals, goalkeeping gaffes and incredibly controversial calls. The net result was the kind of engrossing encounter that makes a mockery of Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis' claim that we need to change the game to make it more appealing to young people.

England hero Hampton proves class is permanent
As the clock ticked into the 90th minute at Wembley on Tuesday evening, England were under the most pressure they had been all game. Having taken the lead with less than three minutes played, through Lauren Hemp's acrobatic effort, the Lionesses had done well to prevent Spain really putting them under the cosh, creating most of the better opportunities for themselves instead. However, in the dying moments, they would need Hannah Hampton, their world-class goalkeeper, to come up with something big.

Kompany could certainly use him: might a ill-timed remark about a player Bayern covet cost them his signature?
FC Bayern are reportedly making a strong push to sign Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United. The 25-year-old has a bit of Harry Kane about him and a bit of Luis Díaz; he’s lightning fast – and rather expensive for a backup player.

Champions League Opinion
Bayern are the only ones at a disadvantage, while Real are simply embarrassing to watch
Real Madrid’s defeat to Bayern Munich has laid bare the club’s less appealing side. The Merengues have reacted like spoilt children, venting frustration at every turn. Their insistence that they were “robbed” in Munich only confirms their status as football’s most unsympathetic outfit, even though it was the record champions who had genuine cause for complaint for long periods of the contest.
