Won't take 'miracle' to take down Real Madrid in Champions League: Mourinho

Jose Mourinho believes Real Madrid is "wounded" after the shock loss to Benfica and doesn't think it will take a miracle to stun the Spanish giant again in the Champions League. Benfica defeated Madrid 4-2 in the final round of the league phase to grab the last spot in the playoffs, and in the process dropped the 15-time champion out of the eight automatic qualification places for the round of 16. Coach Mourinho's Benfica and his former team meet again in Lisbon on Tuesday in the first leg of the knockout stage. "They are wounded," Mourinho said on Monday. "And a wounded king is dangerous. We will play the first leg with our heads, with ambition and confidence. We know what we did to the kings of the Champions League." Mourinho acknowledged that Madrid remained heavily favored and it would take a near-perfect show for Benfica to advance. "I don't think it takes a miracle for Benfica to eliminate Real Madrid. I think we need to be at our highest level. I don't even say high, I mea

Teenage goalkeeper Kalmurza makes UCL history with debut penalty save

Teenage goalkeeper Sherkhan Kalmurza saved a penalty on his debut in the Champions League for Kazakhstan team Kairat, becoming the youngest player to do so. Kalmurza made some other fine stops but could not prevent a 4-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon in what was a debut for the Kazakh club in Europe's elite club competition. At 18 years, 96 days old, Kalmurza was the third youngest goalkeeper to play in the tournament, UEFA said. He also became the second youngest overall to save a penalty after Mile Svilar of Benfica who was 18 years 65 days old when he stopped a penalty by Manchester United's Anthony Martial in 2017. It was still 0-0 when Sporting captain Morten Hjulmand sent him the wrong way but Kalmurza managed to stretch to block the spot kick with his right leg in the 21st minute. One of the goals Kalmurza conceded was netted by another teenager at the other side, forward Geovany Quenda who dribbled past several defenders before completing the rout at 18 years, 141 days old, beco

Haaland breaks fresh Champions League mark though Ronaldo's lead remains

Another goal, another record for Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker became the fastest player to score 50 goals in the Champions League in a 2-0 win over Napoli on Thursday reaching the landmark in his 49th game in European club soccer's top competition. Haaland surpassed the previous record by former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took 62 games to reach that total. He seems to break every record going. At his age, it's unheard of what he's doing, City teammate Phil Foden said. At the age of 25, Haaland looks capable of chasing down Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time Champions League record of 141 goals. The numbers speak for itself, City manager Pep Guardiola said. If he plays 10, 12 years... if he maintains this progression, absolutely (he can). Haaland already took Van Nistelrooy's Champions League record as the fastest player to score 30 goals, back in 2023. That same year he became the fastest player to score 50 in the Premier League.

Rashford powers Barcelona to win, De Bruyne denied joy on City return night

Marcus Rashford proved the perfect replacement for Lamine Yamal in Barcelona's 2-1 win at Newcastle in the Champions League and Kevin De Bruyne watched mostly from the sideline as Napoli lost 2-0 at his former club Manchester City. With Yamal missing through injury, Rashford a loan signing from Manchester United got a start on his return to England and scored both of Barcelona's goals at St. James' Park. The second took the breath away, a piledriver from 25 meters that flew in off the crossbar. De Bruyne was also back on English soil, at the club where he spent 10 years before an emotional farewell in May. But his Etihad Stadium return lasted 26 minutes before he was substituted following a red card for teammate Giovanni Di Lorenzo and City wound up a comfortable winner thanks to second-half goals from Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku. Haaland's header put him on 50 goals in 49 Champions League appearances, with the Norway striker reaching that milestone quicker than any other playe

Kane says UCL 'more open' than Bundesliga after netting 2 goals vs Chelsea

Harry Kane says the Champions League offers more opportunities to score than the Bundesliga after he grabbed two goals in Bayern Munich's 3-1 win over Chelsea on Wednesday. The England star tucked away a penalty after he was brought down by Moises Caicedo, then capitalized on teammates' pressure on Malo Gusto when the ball fell kindly for him to fire inside the far post. I always feel like in the Champions League you create maybe more chances than the Bundesliga, the games are maybe a bit more open, and that suits me, Kane told broadcaster DAZN. Hopefully I can get more than 11 this year, he added, referring to his tally in the Champions League last season. The 32-year-old Kane has already scored nine goals in five games across all competitions for Bayern so far this season 10 goals in six games including the German Supercup. It's always the aim to improve and get better, he said. Bayern got the scoring underway when Michael Olise forced an own goal from Trevoh Chalobah and migh

Mastantuono becomes youngest starter for Real Madrid in Champions League

Teenage forward Franco Mastantuono became the youngest player to start for Real Madrid in the Champions League, according to UEFA. At 18 years, 33 days old, Mastantuono started Tuesday in Madrid's league phase opener against Marseille at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
