Uefa to refund Liverpool fans for tickets after Champions League ... (The Guardian)

Uefa has confirmed that all 19618 Liverpool fans who bought tickets from the club's allocation for last May's Champions League final in Paris are eligible ...

He praised the work done by Spirit of Shankly and the Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association, who said in a joint statement: “With a promise to reimburse supporters, Uefa have gone some way to acknowledging their part in the fiasco. Uefa said those supporters would need to meet its refund criteria and that the scheme covered those “most affected when accessing the Stade de France”. It said it would “reimburse Liverpool FC the total value of these tickets and the club will then process the refunds to its supporters”. Uefa did not just ruin the biggest event in the football season, people were injured and traumatised and any compensation needs to reflect that. We believe the term ‘refund’, in its broadest sense, does not go far enough in providing redress or acknowledging the true harm suffered by those at an event that should have been safe for all to attend.” Its general secretary, Theodore Theodoridis, said the scheme was “comprehensive and fair” and recognised fans’ “negative experiences”.

UEFA Champions League picks, predictions, odds: Experts split on ... (CBSSports.com)

On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Kickoff was delayed by 37 minutes as a result of a mix of operational challenges outside the stadium that made it difficult for upset supporters to go inside, especially those with disabilities and those who had asthma who had to deal with the tear gas and pepper spray.

Chelsea Champions League score: The Blues host Borussia Dortmund at Stamford Bridge looking to progress into the quarterfinals of the competition.

120 mins from kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of this Champions League last-16 second-leg encounter between Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund. Can Graham Potter inspire his team to glory and a place in the quarterfinals? The Blues have it all to do after trailing 1-0 from the first leg. 55 mins from kickoff: The big team news for Chelsea sees Reece James make his return to the starting XI. Raphael Guerreiro is expected to replace the suspended Julian Ryerson at left-back. James puts in a dangerous cross which is cleared, but the clearance falls to Havertz arriving on the edge of the box, and his first-time effort with his left foot strikes the inside of the post. 35th min: Felix finds a pocket of space in the middle of the pitch but his shot from distance goes out for a corner. There was a lot of talk before the Leeds game about the pressure on Graham Potter and him potentially losing his job. Havertz plays a through ball into his path and he has so much time to beat the keeper but he takes way too long, stutters and the defence clear. We're delighted with that, we're looking forward to having him on the pitch on Tuesday, hopefully enjoying his football." Havertz has the ball in the back of the net with a stunning, perfectly placed curled shot from the edge of the box, but in the build up, Sterling who had an initial shot well saved, is ruled offside.

Scoring twice for the first time in 12 games since defeating Bournemouth in December of 2022, this was a balance that the Blues haven't had in a while. Making only his fourth appearance for the Blues since suffering a knee injury, Forfana was excellent during the match, winning two of his three tackles attempted and also making three clearances to assist Reece James with defending Marco Reus. With Joao Felix, Havertz and Sterling leading the line, there was a balance in Chelsea's attack that gave Dortmund fits during the match. Without Benoit Badiashile in the Champions League squad due to having more January additions than they could register, Potter had to change his defense from the one that kept a clean sheet against Leeds United as Marc Cucurella came into a back three flanking Kalidou Koulibaly and Wesley Fofana in a back three. After losing to an Oostende side in the relegation zone in Belgium, Scott Parker's side needed a rebound that didn't come in this match as they were flat from start to finish. Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz scored, but it was a match with quite a few twists and turns -- enough that Gio Reyna and Christian Pulisic ended up squaring off by the close of things.

Benfica shows strength going into Champions League quarters (The Washington Post)

Few expected Benfica to make much of a run in the Champions League when it began its campaign in the third qualifying round in August.

It will find out its next opponent in the draw on March 17. Benfica has lost only once in 42 matches this season and is unbeaten in its 19 homes games. “No matter who is our next opponent, we will keep playing the same way.” Last season, Benfica was eliminated by eventual runner-up Liverpool in the last eight. Come the draw for the last eight next week, Benfica will not be considered one of the softer opponents. “At this stage of the Champions League there are always good opponents, we have to respect everyone,” Schmidt said.

Champions League predictions: Tottenham vs. AC Milan odds ... (DraftKings Nation)

We go over everything you need to know for Tottenham vs. AC Milan in the UCL Round of 16 second leg.

A draw would see Milan through to the quarterfinal for the first time since the 2011-12 season. Milan hold the edge after winning the first leg with a 1-0 score at home and will look to keep that lead on the road as they head to London in search of a berth in the quarterfinals. AC Milan got the lone goal in the first leg to take the win thanks to Brahim Diaz, who put it in the back of the net in the seventh minute. I’m backing a draw between the two teams as Spurs should see a little boost from home advantage and will come out attacking fairly hard as they’ll need a win to advance. On top of that, Spurs will be missing Eric Dier after the center back received his third yellow card of the tournament and will serve a one-match suspension.

Champions League: PSG, Tottenham eye qualification | Africanews (Africanews English)

Ahead of Wednesday's (Mar. 8) match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of 16, France's PSG have no choice but to win.

During the other match of the evening, the north London club of Tottenham will go into the must-win second leg of the last-16 tie against Milan. In the 22 cases in which they won the first leg of a knockout duel in the Champions League, they failed to progress only on 2 occasions. "Regardless of the result, tomorrow we have to play better and more aggressively than we did during the first leg," Christophe Galtier said.

UEFA Champions League picks, predictions, odds: PSG heading for ... (CBSSports.com)

Champions League returns to action on Wednesday and experts think this is the end of the line for Lionel Messi and company.

Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. I expect the Italian side to go through. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. Julian Nagelsmann's men really should have buried Galtier's side in Paris when they had the chance. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes. Tuesday saw Chelsea turn things around and eliminate Borussia Dortmund while Benfica slammed the door shut against struggling Club Brugge.

España has been in 11, including one game with three. But being on the road in MLS is one thing; travelling to a Concacaf country is another kettle of fish entirely. Sartini expects them to drop nine players behind the ball on defence, and try to sneak a goal on the counterattack with speed. This season has been slower, as with 11 games under their belts, they’re fifth in the Honduran top flight and have just won once in their last six games (1-2-3). It’s been six years since the Caps last played in the CCL, earning their spot in this year’s competition by knocking off Toronto FC in the Canadian Championship final last year. “The importance (of this game) was enormous even if we won these two games, but especially now because we lost,” head coach Vanni Sartini said.
