In a candid post-match interview, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham admitted that his team was fortunate not to suffer a heavier defeat after their crushing 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals. The first leg, played at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night, saw the Gunners put on a dominant performance. Declan Rice, who was named man of the match, scored two spectacular free kicks in the second half, while Mikel Merino added a third to seal the victory. Bellingham, who had a quiet game by his usual standards, confessed that Los Blancos were comprehensively outplayed by Mikel Arteta’s side. “We were lucky to come away with only three goals conceded. We were nowhere near our best,” Bellingham stated. “Arsenal were exceptional, and while two of their goals came from free kicks, they could have scored even more.” Despite the heavy defeat, Bellingham and his teammates are holding on to hope for the second leg, where they will look to turn the tide in front of their home supporters.

Despite suffering a 3-2 loss to Fulham on Sunday, Liverpool’s path to becoming Premier League champions remains clear. The Reds’ first away defeat of the season at Craven Cottage ended their remarkable 26-match unbeaten streak in the league. The match saw Liverpool take an early lead thanks to Alexis Mac Allister’s goal, but Fulham responded with a strong performance, securing three goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Alex Iwobi, and Rodrigo Muniz. Luis Díaz pulled one back for Liverpool, but the team was unable to equalize, leaving them with a narrow defeat. Even with the loss, Liverpool only needs to secure 11 more points to be mathematically crowned Premier League champions. Their closest competitors, Arsenal, trail them by the same number of points, leaving the Reds in a strong position. The earliest Liverpool could confirm their title win is on May 4, provided they defeat West Ham, Leicester City, Tottenham, and Chelsea in their upcoming matches. A victory at Stamford Bridge would clinch the title, making it a historic moment for the club. However, Liverpool’s chances of winning the title could be confirmed even sooner if Arsenal falters in their next fixtures. Arsenal will face Brentford, Ipswich, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth in their following league matches.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has voiced his opinion regarding the controversial penalty incident during Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Everton in their Premier League encounter on Saturday. The match saw Leandro Trossard score the opener for Arsenal at Goodison Park, but the momentum shifted early in the second half when Myles Lewis-Skelly was deemed to have fouled Jack Harrison inside the box. Referee awarded the penalty, which was confidently converted by Iliman Ndiaye, leveling the scoreline for the home side. Speaking on TNT Sports, Keown expressed skepticism about the legitimacy of the foul: “Initially, Myles Lewis-Skelly misjudged the flight of the ball while trying to shield it with his body. But I don’t believe the contact was sufficient to warrant a penalty. It felt like a soft call,” Keown said. He further added that Lewis-Skelly could have handled the situation better: “There are moments where a player must make a decisive clearance. This might be one of those times where he’ll reflect and realize he should’ve cleared the ball.” Despite his doubts, Keown admitted that once the on-field decision was made, overturning it via VAR was unlikely due to the standard of review applied to such decisions.

Jose Mourinho, the head coach of Fenerbahce, has been handed a three-match suspension for an altercation with Galatasaray’s manager, Okan Buruk. This incident occurred following Fenerbahce’s loss in the Turkish Super Cup to their fierce rivals. According to reports, Mourinho approached Buruk after the match and pinched his nose, causing Buruk to fall to the ground. The altercation sparked immediate controversy. While initially, there was speculation that Mourinho could face a suspension of up to 10 games, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) ultimately imposed a three-match ban. The TFF reportedly took into account that Mourinho was provoked by Buruk at the conclusion of the match, which influenced their decision to reduce the severity of the punishment. This is not the first time Mourinho has found himself facing a touchline ban this year. Earlier in February 2025, he was handed a four-match suspension for making racist remarks towards the Galatasaray bench during a heated encounter. The suspension serves as a significant setback for Mourinho, who is under intense scrutiny in Turkey following the incident and his earlier controversial comments.
