By 90min Staff Real Madrid are Champions League finalists. In other news, water is wet. Los Blancos' European magic looked to have been blocked as Bayern Munich carried a one-goal lead into the 88th minute of Wednesday's semi-final second leg, only for the Bernabeu machine to churn out one more Champions League miracle and seal a spot at Wembley's showpiece finale. Here are Madrid's best and worst players according to 90min's player ratings.

By Sean Walsh From generation to generation, Tottenham Hotspur supporters have passed on stories of 'glory glory' nights. Those tales were much more glorious in years past. The 1951 and 1961 Division One titles. The 1972 and 1984 UEFA Cups. The various FA Cups that Spurs used to win at a canter barely breaking into a sweat. Tottenham in the 21st century have been known for their over-performance in the Premier League rather than their tangible success. Always good enough to compete, not good enough to get more trophies into the cabinet. Qualifying for the Champions League became the obsession ...

By Jude Summerfield Few football fans would have predicted Borussia Dortmund to reach the Champions League final at the start of the season, but here we are. BVB have largely struggled to make much of an impact in the Bundesliga, where they currently sit in fifth, and lost talismanic midfielder Jude Bellingham to Real Madrid after heartbreakingly missing out on the title on goal difference last term. But while their league performance has been largely underwhelming, Dortmund have been strong in Europe. Edin Terzic's side lost only group-stage game despite being paired with Paris Saint-Germain,...

By Tom Gott For the first time since 2002, Ipswich Town will play Premier League football next season. It's a fascinating story which even the most optimistic of Ipswich fans would not have believed just a few years ago. Current boss Kieran McKenna joined in December 2021 with the Tractor Boys sitting 12th in League One, and after back-to-back promotions, they're now back at England's biggest table. It's time to get to know the Premier League's newest outfit, so here are six players to keep an eye out for. Leif DavisLeif Davis managed 21 assists in 43 games from left-back. Eat your heart out, ...

By James Cormack It's simple, this game we all love. Football, eh? Dumb it down and aliens would wonder exactly what it was about this 'sport' that captivates an entire species. It's just a few folks running around within a marked area trying to kick a spherical object into a net, after all. Break it down like that and, yes, they might wonder where the exhilaration lies and football was once a pastime of distinct primitivity. A game which formerly celebrated vigour and violence has evolved into an art form lauded as 'beautiful'. Cultural differences have reflected alternate interpretations of ...

By Sean Walsh In kind terms, Casemiro's Manchester United career should be over. In Jamie Carragher's terms, he needs to stop playing at the top level and seek a move to either Major League Soccer or the Saudi Pro League. Casemiro's performance in the Red Devils' 4-0 battering by Crystal Palace surely ranks as the worst display of his esteemed career. United have a lot of buying and selling to do in the summer transfer window, but if this season has taught us anything, it's that a new defensive midfielder is paramount. Here are six options they should consider. Adam WhartonIs starting with som...

By Sean Walsh When you think of Dele Alli at the peak of his powers at Tottenham Hotspur, your mind probably wanders to his incredible goal against Crystal Palace. Or his double to break Chelsea’s 13-match winning streak. Or his Champions League brace against Real Madrid. Or cupping his ear to the Shed End all the while he was ending Tottenham’s barren run at Stamford Bridge. Or scoring in England’s 2018 World Cup campaign which brought the nation’s enthusiasm for the national team back. You probably don't think of his final truly great game - Spurs' 3-2 comeback win at Ajax in the semi-finals...

By Sean Walsh For much of the 21st century, simply touching the Champions League was viewed as success for Tottenham Hotspur. To reach a final was unthought of. It wasn't even worth thinking about. Stay in your own lane and just focus on breaking into the top four, alright? It made the manner of Spurs' 2019 remarkable breakthrough sweeter. "It was impossible, so we did it," Moussa Sissoko said post-match. "We had heart, and Lucas Moura," commented Christian Eriksen. Lucas Moura's signing from Paris Saint-Germain was seen as an 'opportunity' by Tottenham, according to former manager Mauricio Po...
