2+ hour, 9+ min ago (459+ words) The Champions League returns this week with all six Premier League teams in action. There are repeats of some classic European match-ups too, including Chelsea against Barcelona and Arsenal versus Bayern Munich. So to mark the occasion, we're testing your knowledge with six different quizzes. Good luck! Fernando Torres' late goal at the Nou Camp gave Chelsea 3-2 aggregate semi-final aggregate win over Barcelona back in 2011-12. The Blues, who would beat Bayern Munich on penalties in that season's final, face Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday (20:00 GMT). Newcastle's Uefa Cup dream was ended at semi-final stage in 2003-04 when Didier Drogba scored twice in the south of France following the Toon and Marseille's 0-0 first-leg draw in the North East.

3+ hour, 49+ min ago (1166+ words) Estevao (left) has scored four goals in 16 Chelsea appearances, while Lamine Yamal has 31 goals in 118 Barcelona games Every exciting young attacker is rated on a scale from one to Lionel Messi. The two teenagers perhaps at the upper end of the scale are Lamine Yamal - already a global superstar - and now Chelsea's Estevao Willian. Yamal, like Argentina legend Messi, emerged from Barcelona's famed La Masia academy. Estevao was reluctantly crowned 'Messinho' - translated as 'little Messi' - through his performances in Brazil's top flight, and has started brilliantly since joining Chelsea after the summer Club World Cup. He moved after his 18th birthday, having agreed a pre-contract in May 2024 to join from Palmeiras for "29m, rising to "51m with add-ons. As far as public records show, Tuesday's Champions League game between Chelsea and Barcelona at Stamford Bridge will be the first time Yamal faces Estevao…...

It's a famous saying to judge three of the best footballers in the 20th century. On 25 November, it will be 20 years since George Best passed away, and almost 60 years since he was at the peak of his powers. A footballing genius, he was one of the first superstars in football but his life away from the game ensured he was on the front pages of the newspapers, as well as the back. In fact, such was his fame off the pitch he was dubbed the "fifth Beatle" by Portuguese press, and by his mid-20s his celebrity lifestyle had started to overtake his football in a slope that would never reverse. But that does not detract from…...

4+ hour, 27+ min ago (1437+ words) Slot needs to make 'huge decisions' and leave out big players - Murphy When Liverpool fans evoke memories of Bill Shankly, it is usually with the warm glow of glories inspired by the father of Anfield, the legendary Scot who built the club into all it stands for today. Liverpool's current head coach Arne Slot drew comparisons with Shankly after the home defeat by Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday - but not in a good way. The 3-0 scoreline was only the second time since April 1965, when Shankly was manager, that Liverpool had lost back-to-back league games by three or more goals, following defeat at Manchester City. This brutally illustrated the scale of the current decline of last season's Premier League champions. It was also a sixth league defeat in seven games, leaving Liverpool 12th, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal. Liverpool's embarrassment was witnessed…...

6+ hour, 33+ min ago (310+ words) In a stadium where David Moyes endured so much misery as Manchester United boss and where he has never had any success in the Premier League with anyone else, never could the Scot have believed his first victory would come attached to such drama. As someone who prides himself on behaving properly, how he deals with the Idrissa Gueye and Michael Keane spat will be fascinating. What must the midfielder have been thinking to himself, knowing his team-mates showed such character after playing for so long without him? The applause they and Moyes took from the away fans, who backed their team throughout, was fully deserved. For his part, despite the overt fury at Gueye's behaviour, Keane did not let the issue affect him and, alongside James Tarkowski, he was outstanding as Everton held firm. The collective work ethic in…...

6+ hour, 39+ min ago (324+ words) On the one-year anniversary of his first match in charge of Manchester United, this night underlines why, for all the improvement this season, Ruben Amorim still has some way to go to get close to the levels of consistency he demands. Defeat brought his side's five-match unbeaten run to an end and triggered sustained boos at the final whistle. Facing 10 men and with a chance to move into the Champions League places in the table, the home side needed to be calm and secure in possession - but they were the opposite. Joshua Zirkzee, who was ineffective as starting replacement for injured pair Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko, gave the ball away needlessly more than once. He was not on his own though, as Patrick Dorgu and Leny Yoro also lost possession under no pressure as United tried to build attacking…...

7+ hour, 20+ min ago (234+ words) "After the sending off, I was expecting us to have long periods of possession and to push the opponent. We didn't control the transitions, even with 10 men. We were giving them big spaces to win second balls, so the understanding of every situation in the game was not there. "The quality around the box is another big thing, but more importantly it was the intensity we showed. We cannot win games in this way." On whether the performance surprised him after a good run of form: "Of course it did. I understand that we still have a lot to do, but I'm really frustrated with how we handled the game. Especially knowing that we were playing at home, knowing what happened to the other clubs, looking at the table and feeling everything. "The way we presented ourselves in the first minute…...

9+ hour, 47+ min ago (1342+ words) 10-man Everton stun Man Utd after Gueye sees red David Moyes says he "quite likes" his players fighting each other after Everton's Idrissa Gueye was sent off for striking team-mate Michael Keane in the face during his side's 1-0 Premier League win at Manchester United. United's Bruno Fernandes had just gone close to scoring when Gueye and Keane began arguing in the 13th minute at Old Trafford, with the game goalless. Defender Keane appeared to twice push Gueye away before the Senegal midfielder hit him with an open hand. Everton's England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford separated the pair before referee Tony Harrington showed Gueye a straight red card for violent conduct. "Do you know something, I quite like when my players have a fight," said Moyes. "I'm sort of saying I want them to be tough. "I don't want them to accept someone…...
