- Real Madrid v Atlético Madrid: round of 16 first leg – live
In the UK at least, this game is being shown on Amazon Prime Video. They’ve taken a very access-all-areas approach, with Bosz being quizzed by Gabriel Clarke on the sideline. We’ve also seen Gabby Logan and punditry trio Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Daniel Sturridge (in a statement scarf) strolling through the centre circle.
Pre-game thoughts from the PSV coach, Peter Bosz. “It’s fantastic to be in the last 16, and we want to win this duel and go even further. We showed what we can do against Juventus.”

As Volodymyr Zelenskyy seeks to undo the damage of the Oval Office confrontation, the question is not just how far but how fast the Trump administration moves
How long do Ukraine and Europe have to respond to US betrayal? When Russia launched its full-scale invasion three years ago, each day that Kyiv held out was a victory. The west rallied to Ukraine’s support at equally remarkable speed.
Now, as the Trump administration turns upon the victim, and embraces the aggressor, Europe is accelerating nascent plans to bolster Ukraine and pursue security independence. Trump allies blame Friday night’s extraordinary Oval Office confrontation between Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Donald Trump and JD Vance for the shocking halt to all US military aid. Others suspect that the administration was seeking a pretext for the suspension. Mr Zelenskyy pledged on Tuesday to “work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts” and expressed gratitude for his first-term approval of Javelin missile defence systems sales.

The taboo-breaking stunts of Leigh Bowery and the Face magazine were ahead of their time
In 1980, 19-year-old Leigh Bowery arrived in London from the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine. He found a bedsit and a job in Burger King, while waiting to take on the capital’s club and fashion scenes. That same year, the former New Musical Express and Smash Hits editor Nick Logan launched the magazine the Face on a shoestring from a basement on Carnaby Street. Bowery became one of the most influential avant garde figures of the era, the Face the “style bible” for a generation.
Now these countercultural icons are being celebrated in shows at Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery. It doesn’t get more mainstream. Over at Tate Britain, meanwhile, there is a sombre, largely black and white photographic retrospective of the decade. Outlaws, focusing on Bowery and his circle, is currently at London’s Fashion and Textile Museum; later this year the Design Museum will showcase the pop culture magazine Blitz, also founded in 1980. The 80s are having a moment.
