Uefa Champions League

Arsenal have made it to their first European final in 8 years, first Champions League in more than 20 years with the Gunners last featuring in 2006.

The live streaming of the UCL 2026 semifinal between Bayern Munich and PSG will be available on the SonyLIV app and website.

Both teams come into this encounter after settling for home draws in their respective leagues over the weekend, with several key players rested in preparation for the decisive showdown.

Both Arsenal and Atletico Madrid will take field in the second leg of UCL 2026 semifinal; leg 2 on a level playing field after 1-1 draw in first leg

Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain will take on six-time champions FC Bayern Munich in the semifinals of the UCL 2026

Arteta had urged his team to play with intensity and fearlessness, but Arsenal started brightly only to fade quickly, allowing Sporting to grow into the game.

Goals from Pavlovic, Kane, Dias and Olise made sure Bayern go through to the semi-finals, winning the tie 6-4 on aggregate.

Although Atletico have had an inconsistent Champions League campaign, progressing despite multiple defeats, their past success against Barcelona in Europe could give them confidence.

A second straight Champions League semifinal is in sight for Arsenal. Kai Havertz scored in stoppage time on Tuesday to seal a 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon at Estadio Jose Alvalade to put Mikel Arteta's team in control of the quarterfinal tie. The substitute fired past goalkeeper Rui Silva from close range to give Arsenal the advantage ahead of next week's second leg at the Emirates. In Tuesday's other quarterfinal, Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu. Havertz settled a tight game in Portugal by combining with fellow substitute Gabriel Martinelli in the first minute of added time. With one touch the German controlled Martinelli's defense-splitting pass in the box and then converted with a side-footed finish. "To score a late goal is always nice," Havertz told Amazon Prime. "We will take that result. There is still a lot of work to do next week." Victory saw Arsenal bounce back from successive defeats which cut its quadruple trophy hunt in half in recent weeks. Loss

Alexander Isak was included in Liverpool's squad to face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday. The Sweden striker traveled with the team to Paris after taking part in training on Tuesday. Isak is set to make his return after having surgery in late December on a broken ankle and fibula. Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Isak is fit enough to play but not to start at Parc des Princes. "He finished close to a week of team training sessions, he can play a part otherwise I wouldn't take him," Slot said Tuesday at a pre-game news conference. "We think we can get a performance out of him now, but not to start." Isak joined Liverpool in the offseason from Newcastle for a British-record fee for 125 million pounds ($170 million). Before the injury, however, he made a slow start, scoring three goals in 16 games overall after netting 62 in 109 matches for Newcastle. His return is also good news for Sweden, which hopes to pair him alongside ..

Football at its very best. That was Arne Slot's memory of Liverpool's richly entertaining meeting with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season. OK, Liverpool ultimately went out, beaten at Anfield in a round-of-16 penalty shootout by the team that would go on to win the competition for the first time, but Slot loved the way his side played and still maintains it was "the best game I've managed in my career." They meet again almost 12 months on, with Liverpool - and Slot - in a very different place. Indeed, the Dutch coach appears to be fighting for his job heading into the upcoming quarterfinal doubleheader with the European champions that starts with the first leg in Paris on Wednesday. A 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday was Liverpool's latest poor result of a season that initially began with so much hope after the club's record summer splurge of $570 million on new players on the back of cruising to the Premier League title. With the Reds ha

Mbappe's problem began after a knock during Madrid's La Liga defeat to Celta Vigo last December

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has torn a muscle in his upper right leg, jeopardizing his availability for a Champions League clash with Bayern Munich. Courtois was substituted at halftime of Madrid's Champions League game at Manchester City on Tuesday. Madrid won 2-1 and the round-of-16 tie by 5-1 on aggregate. The club on Thursday did not say how long its top goalkeeper would be out. Andriy Lunin will take his place. Madrid hosts Atletico Madrid in a La Liga derby on Sunday before an international break, when Courtois' Belgium plays the United States in a friendly in Atlanta on March 28. Belgium also plays Mexico in another World Cup warmup in Chicago on April 1. Madrid then starts its Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern on April 7. The 33-year-old Courtois has been a key part of Madrid's most recent European successes, helping to win its 14th and 15th European Cups in 2022 and 2024.

It has been a season to forget for Mohamed Salah. But the Egyptian icon fired Liverpool into the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Wednesday, scoring his 50th Champions League goal. But this is still far from vintage Salah. He got a first-half penalty so wrong that it was hard to tell if he was trying an audacious Panenka' chip or if it was simply a horrible mis-kick. Either way, it was an embarrassing moment just before halftime and all too typical of a campaign in which Salah's powers appear to have diminished. That all changed after the break when he was at the heart of a Liverpool goal spree that sealed a 4-1 aggregate win over Galatasaray and set up a showdown with defending champion Paris Saint-Germain. "That tells you about the mental strength of him," Liverpool coach Arne Slot said. With Liverpool leading 1-0 at halftime through Dominik Szoboszlai's goal, Salah crossed for Hugo Ekitike to double the advantage. Two minutes later, his fierce shot was saved by Galatasa

Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali went off injured against Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday, eight days before Italy starts its World Cup qualifying playoffs bracket. Tonali appeared to hurt his left thigh chasing back to defend Fermin Lopez and put the ball out for a corner. It was 4-2 at the time early in the second half, and Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski scored a header from the corner to all but guarantee the Spanish champion will advance to the quarterfinals. Barcelona was soon leading 6-2 at Camp Nou after the teams drew 1-1 in Newcastle last week. Tonali has been an expected starter for Italy as the four-time champion aims to play at a World Cup for the first time since 2014. Italy hosts Northern Ireland on March 26 at Atalanta's stadium in Bergamo and the winner will travel to face either Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina five days later. The playoff bracket winner will enter a World Cup group with co-host Canada, Switzerland and Qatar.

15-time champions Real Madrid will take on FC Bayern Munich in the marquee quarter-final match of the UCL 2026

Head coach Arne Slot acknowledged that his team underperformed in the first leg but remains confident.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick admitted that his team "didn't make a good game" in the first leg and has called on his players to perform "much better" if they hope to reach the QF for a 3rd time.

Pep Guardiola wore a lumberjack-style shirt and Real Madrid chopped Manchester City down in the Champions League once again. Who knows how many more chances Guardiola will get to win European club soccer's greatest prize with just one season remaining on his contract and increasing speculation he could walk away at the end of this campaign. "Everybody wants to fire me," Guardiola said when questioned about his future following the 2-1 loss at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday. "One day I will come out here and say 'bye, bye guys'." Guardiola's position is the subject of much debate after 10 years at City, which is already by far the longest he has stayed at any club as a manager. He has repeatedly referred to the remaining time on his contract when questioned, but doubts remain. "The future will be bright and next season we will be back," he said following the 5-1 aggregate loss in the round-of-16 tie. Was that a clue as to his immediate plans? "When I've retired in 10 years I will
