Mohamed Salah of Liverpool speaks with Hugo Ekitike during a Liverpool FC Training Session at AXA Training Centre on January 20, 2026 in Kirkby, England.

uefa champions league football: Real Madrid vs. Monaco

Kylian Mbappe player of Real Madrid trains at Valdebebas training ground on January 06, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. Alvaro Arbeloa makes his Champions League managerial bow on Tuesday night, as Real Madrid welcome Monaco to a tense Santiago Bernabéu in Gameweek 7 of the league phase. Arbeloa’s reign, which many suspect will only be temporary, started with a humiliating 3–2 defeat to second-tier Albacete in the Copa del Rey, leading to scenes of discontent on home soil at the weekend. Calls for Florentino Pérez to resign as president were widespread at the Bernabéu during Madrid’s 2–0 victory over Levante, which means, after Barcelona were beaten 2–1 at Real Sociedad, that Los Blancos are just a point adrift of the La Liga leaders. The 15-time European champions were beaten twice under Xabi A...

champion’s league: Mbappe miss training ahead Man City clash

Kylian Mbappe Real Madrid's French superstar Kylian Mbappe did not come out to train with his team-mates on Tuesday on the eve of his team's key Champions League clash against Manchester City. The forward broke a finger during the defeat by Celta Vigo in La Liga on Sunday, and when asked by AFP, Madrid said his absence from training was because of that injury but also other discomfort he suffered in that match. If Mbappe is unable to play against City on Wednesday, it would be a big blow for coach Xabi Alonso, with Spanish media reporting that a defeat would lead to his dismissal. The 26-year-old striker has scored 25 goals in 21 matches across all competitions this season and has been Madrid's key player.

Kylian Mbappe Kylian Mbappe scored the second fastest hat-trick in Champions League history as he helped himself to all four goals in Real Madrid’s 4-3 win at Olympiakos. The LaLiga leaders were trailing to Chiquinho’s early strike at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis when the France superstar intervened with a seven-minute treble after 22, 24 and 29 minutes, leaving only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who achieved the same feat in just six minutes and 12 seconds against Rangers in October 2022, ahead of him in the all-time list.

Arsenal win in Prague to match 122-year club record Mikel Merino scored twice as Arsenal comfortably beat Slavia Prague in the league phase of the Champions League to extend their winning run to 10 matches in all competitions. It was also an eighth successive clean sheet - matching a club record set back in 1903 over two different seasons. Spaniard Merino was starting up front in place of the injured Viktor Gyokeres and, just as he did last season when he deputised for Kai Havertz, the midfielder showed his versatility to provide a focal point and make a crucial contribution for his team. Arsenal's opening goal came in the 32nd minute when they were awarded a penalty after the video assistant referee (VAR) penalised Lukas Provod for handball after Gabriel flicked on a corner. ...

football live: Napoli held to goalless draw by Frankfurt

Napoli failed to score for a second match in a row as the Italian champions were held to a goalless draw at home by Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Antonio Conte's side were looking to bounce back from a humbling 6-2 defeat by PSV Eindhoven on matchday three, but struggled to create clear chances in the absence of injured midfielder Kevin de Bruyne. Napoli started well but lacked communication in the final third. Rasmus Hojlund and Frank Anguissa got in each other's way with both trying to head in Eljif Elmas' cross, before the winger saw his goal-bound strike inadvertently deflected over by Scott McTominay. The Scottish midfielder spurned two clear chances in the second half, first taking a heavy touch as he rounded Frankfurt goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, before l...
