By Ewan Murray Real Madrid secured their spot in this season's Champions League final with an unbelievable late comeback in their 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening. Neither side found themselves in the driving seat heading into the second leg after a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena a week ago, with a tight first half unable to separate the sides as defences reigned supreme. Alphonso Davies fired the visitors in front but two late tap-ins from Real Madrid substitute Joselu sent the record European champions into June's final with Borussia Dortmund.

By Ewan Murray Real Madrid booked their spot in the Champions League final on Wednesday evening after beating Bayern Munich 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu thanks to two late Joselu efforts. With the first leg having finished 2-2 in Munich, there was nothing to separate the two teams come the end of a nervy first half in the Spanish capital. But the game exploded into life after the break following Alphonso Davies' wonder strike and it was Joselu who proved the saviour for Real with two late tap-ins to send the Spanish giants to the final. Real will face Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley ...

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 ...

The Blues fell 3-1 last time out to Colorado Rapids at their home ground and ended a three-match winning streak in Major League Soccer action. Nick Cushing's side were unbeaten in five league matches overall with two draws before their consecutive wins over New England Revolution, DC United and Charlotte FC. NYCFC will want to put last weekend's match behind them, but they might find it difficult to pick...

By 90min Staff Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reported to have left some Manchester United staff "bemused" by his demand that a flexible work-from-home policy should end in order to boost productivity. The new co-owner has taken over sporting control since purchasing a minority stake from the Glazer family in recent months, but has also been sure to get stuck in on more general issues as his latest club-wide declaration mainly affects non-football staff. The Guardian reports that part of Ratcliffe's recent tour of facilities included an all-staff call. It was then that he informed employees, of which th...

By Sean Walsh & Ben Jacobs Chelsea and Aston Villa have both been put off a potential deal for Athletic Club's Nico Williams due to his wage demands, 90min understands. Williams has been linked with a summer move to several Premier League clubs following a stellar 2023/24 season, but several of his suitors from England are cooling their interest in him. The Spain international signed a new contract at Athletic back in December. It featured a release clause worth €50m (£43m), which would represent a relatively modest transfer fee, but personal terms are likely to prove a stumbling block regardi...

The final Thursday of 2023/24 European action awaits as eight teams bid to book their places in the Europa League and Europa Conference League finals. The semi-final second legs are bound to supply chaos across the board, although Bayer Leverkusen's victory in Rome has set them up for a rather comfortable progression into the Europa League final during their historical season. Over in the Conference, it was goals galore in the first legs with Fiorentina aiming to return to the competition's showpiece event having been beaten in the final by...

By 90min Staff Two Premier League clubs have enquired about Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, according to a new report, but a permanent move abroad is 'more likely' at this stage. Greenwood has spent this season on loan at Getafe after United eventually recognised "the difficulties with him recommencing his career" at the club, deciding "it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford". That only kicked the can a little way down the road and, with Greenwood's loan set to soon end, United are faced with the issue of attempting to offload him all over again. A perm...
