The Southampton manager is furious at the contentious Liverpool penalty call.

Ivan Juric, manager of Southampton, feels Liverpool should have been given a penalty in the second half of their 3-1 loss at Anfield on Saturday. Will Smallbone gave the Saints an unexpected lead in stoppage time of the first half, but Darin Nunez quickly erased the lead. Mo Salah scored two penalty penalties in the second half to give Liverpool the victory, but Juric thought the first one was unfair. There didn't appear to be much in the area as Smallbone and Nunez collided, but referee Lewis Smith gave the penalty. Juric, the Southampton manager, is furious at Liverpool's penalty call. "They responded quite well," Juric said to BBC Sport. "We had some excellent first-half situations. The match was altered, in my opinion, by the [first] penalty, which was not a penalty. I'm happy with the way we performed today. "This can never be a punishment. Since it was 1-1 and somewhat altered the outcome, I apologize for what happened. Many of our yo...

Four key takeaways from Wednesday's Champions League action.


Following Arsenal's victory over PSV on Tuesday, four more Champions League round of 16 matches were scheduled for Wednesday evening.

Lautaro Martínez creates Inter history


Inter has had a long and illustrious history since its inception 118 years ago, winning Europe's elite competition three times and lifting the Scudetto 20 times.

Lautaro Martínez made history as the club's all-time top scorer in the Champions League with 18 goals.

The man he overtook was Sandro Mazzola, widely regarded as one of the greatest Italian footballers of all time, having won the European Cup in 1964 and 1965.

Kane becomes one of England's best European performers


When Bayern Munich took the lead against league rivals Bayer Leverkusen in under ten minutes, it was easy to guess who had scored.

Of course, Harry Kane scored his 30th goal of the season for the Bundesliga club in all competitions, marking the seventh time in his career.

The Englishman now has 47 total Champions League goals, tied with Wayne Rooney and trailing only David Beckham (52) among his compatriots.

With his current pace, he could overtake Beckham before the end of the season.

Will Alisson make PSG regret it?


PSG fired 26 shots at Liverpool's goal, relying heavily on goalkeeper Alisson to keep the score tied as he made save after save.

In a rare off-night, the Reds had failed to register a single shot on target. However, a long ball from the Brazilian goalkeeper found Darwin Núñez, who then picked out Harvey Elliott with his head for the 21-year-old to finish.

It was a narrow victory, but PSG will now travel to Merseyside trailing by one goal, thanks in large part to the Brazilian's 10 saves on the night.

Will Alisson's performance make the Parisians regret not taking their chances by the end of the match?

Raphinha haunts Benfica...again


Football is a fast-paced sport. It feels like a long time ago that neutrals were treated to a thrilling match between Benfica and Barcelona in mid-January, when the Portuguese side went from 3-0 up at halftime to losing 5-4 by the final whistle.

That was in mid-January, and while tonight's game between the two wasn't as goal-filled, the same man hurt Benfica.

Raphinha's 96th-minute effort stunned Roger Schmidt's side the last time they played, and he did it again just a few weeks later.

Raphinha scored the only goal in a 1-0 win at the Estádio da Luz, giving his team a crucial advantage ahead of the second leg against Barcelona. Pau Cubarsí was sent off on 22 minutes.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
