Guardiola: Bayern success hinges on Champions League

The Bavarians' boss believes his reign at the club will be judged on whether he wins Europe's primary club competition this season

Pep Guardiola heads into Bayern Munich's Champions League semi-final with Atletico Madrid knowing his reputation in Germany hinges on continental success, but he does not feel that should be the case.
Bayern are on course for a fourth consecutive Bundesliga title - which would be Guardiola's third in as many years since taking over at the Allianz Arena - although the two-time Champions League winning coach has so far been unable to replicate the European success he enjoyed with Barcelona.
This season will be the 45-year-old's last with the German giants as he has already agreed to manage

Are you watching Tottenham? Vardy-less Leicester retake control of the title race

 
The Foxes may have been without their suspended topscorer, but, as they have done all season, responded to the adversity in typically positive fashion to pick up three points

 

 As Tottenham cruised to victory at Stoke on Monday evening, there was a feeling that all the momentum in the title race was now with the north London outfit. But if there is one thing this Leicester City side will not do, it is go down without a fight, and their performance against Swansea suggested it will be far from straightforward for Spurs to wrestle the Foxes’s grip on the Premier League trophy away.

After their dramatic draw against West Ham seven days previously, the nervous atmosphere that hung in the air around the King Power Stadium prior to kick-off could be forgiven. Leonardo Ulloa’s penalty may have rescued Claudio Ranieri’s side a point, but the prospect of playing without the suspended Jamie Vardy

'Wait another year!' - Ranieri tells Tottenham to forget about Premier League title

  The Foxes currently hold a five-point lead over Spurs with four matches of the season remaining and the Italian has now insisted that it is his side's time to shine

 

High-flying Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has told Tottenham counterpart Mauricio Pochettino to forget about winning the Premier League title this season.
The Foxes are currently five points clear of second-placed Spurs with four matches of the season remaining.
Despite needing Leicester to slip up at least twice Pochettino is refusing to concede defeat in the title race, but Ranieri insists that it is his side's time to shine.

RUMOURS: Man Utd to ditch Memphis

The Red Devils are set to cash in on the Netherlands international this summer after just a year at Old Trafford, with a number of clubs already contacted

Manchester United are set to sell Memphis Depay this summer less than a year after signing the winger from PSV, according to the Sunday Mirror.

Memphis has endured a frustrating season at United following his £25 million move to the club, scoring just two Premier League goals in 26 appearances.

And Louis van Gaal has now sanctioned his sale, with United contacting

Blanc's scruffy PSG must improve to stave off Mourinho rumours

 It took a controversial refereeing decision and a defensive mix up to give the Ligue 1 champions the Coupe de la Ligue trophy - but they were far from their best

Paris Saint-Germain have completed the second leg of a potential French treble, but they were made to work exceptionally hard for a 2-1 victory over Lille in the Coupe de la Ligue final.

With the Ligue 1 title already in the bag, Laurent Blanc’s out-of-sorts side rode their luck to overcome opponents who were arguably the form team in France, having won all of their previous six matches. PSG, on the other hand, no longer seem the untouchable side of the winter months and after crashing out of the Champions League to Manchester City 10 days previous came into this encounter with rumours circulating that Jose Mourinho could take over from Blanc in the summer.

Although they lifted the trophy, they did so with such a dearth of panache that questions will continue to be asked.

The Parc des Princes club made life difficult for themselves, with Adrien Rabiot sent off for two bookings against Lille for the second time this season. But just as PSG came through 1-0 on the opening night of the Championnat season after the young midfielder was dismissed, they would do so again in front of more than

Ice-cold Martial shows Lukaku how it's done

At Wembley, your gaze cannot help but scan skyward on occasion to find the planes descending towards London's Heathrow airport but in the 91st minute of the FA Cup final here against Everton the sudden, jolting noise which roared from the Manchester United end could well have been mistaken for the sound of a squadron of RAF bombers overhead. < Read more >

It's the Red Devils, not the Red Arrows, who will be back here next month to take on either Watford or Crystal Palace after Anthony Martial's sensational late winner.

At the other end, all afternoon long, Romelu Lukaku fluffed his chances time and again. He chased his own poor touches desperately trying to
