      Liverpool 0 PSG 1 LIVE RESULT: Reds EXIT Champions League following spot-kick blunders from Nunez and Jones in last-16

      by

      LIVERPOOL would fall to Paris Saint-Germain as their enthralling Champions League last-16 tie climaxed in a penalty shootout win for the French champions. Although under immediate Anfield pressure, Ousmane Dembélé would bring the visitors level as he bundled in a finish following a quick counter on the 12th minute. Following the interval, it had seemed that the Reds re-taken the lead as Trent Alexander-Arnold diverted his off-the-post-rebound towards Dominik Szoboszlai who tapped the ball in only to be met with the linesman’s flag. A shut-out extra time would result in penalties to sort out the thrilling tie. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s brace of saves on Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones penalties would prove decisive as the French giants progressed. Elsewhere, Barcelona oversaw a dominant home win over Benfica to secure last-eight passage. Whilst Bayern Munich and Inter Milan joined them.

      William Saliba ‘really happy’ at Arsenal but admits he must win silverware to be considered world’s best defender

      by

      WILLIAM SALIBA says he is “really happy” at Arsenal amid interest from Real Madrid – and wants to cement his North London legacy with trophies.However, the Gunners defender insists there is “no rush” to begin contract negotiations, despite his Emirates deal expiring in June 2027.William Saliba admits this season has not gone to planCredit: GettyThe Arsenal defender is gunning for glory in the Champions LeagueCredit: GettySaliba, 23, has become one of the most talented centre backs in Europe since breaking into Mikel Arteta’s side, making his Prem debut in August 2022.Meanwhile, Spanish giants Madrid are monitoring from afar, hoping to lure the Frenchman away over the next few transfer windows with his contract running down.But ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League last 16 clash with PSV, Saliba said: “I’m really happy here. I’ve been here for two years and a half as well.”There is nothing [to discuss]. I’m happy and I want to continue here.”READ MORE ON FOOTBALLThe French defender signed a four-year deal in July 2023. That contract did not include an option to extend by a further 12 months, but crucially did not include a release clause either.On if there have been talks over extending his contract, Saliba added: “Not yet, because we have some years [to go]. There is no rush at the minute. I’m happy here. That’s it.”Saliba joined Arsenal in the summer of 2019 for £27m before being sent out on three loan spells – at former club St Etienne, OGC Nice and Marseille.Most read in FootballCheltenham Festival betting offers and free betsHis move was powered by his aspirations of lifting major silverware and becoming the best defender in the world. So far, neither of those dreams have come true.In Europe this term, Arsenal have conceded just four goals in nine games, and have the best defence in the Prem with just 24 goals conceded – three less than Liverpool. Mikel Arteta walks out of Sky Sports interview moments after Arsenal lose further ground in Premier League title raceYet Saliba admits his performances have been below par, in comparison to his idol Sergio Ramos, Liverpool’s “unbelievable” Virgil van Dijk and his own defensive partner Gabriel.Saliba continued: “This season I have not been so good. I have to work on my game.”I have to focus on myself and work more on my concentration, I have to score more and help my team more to win trophies. I have to push, to demand more of myself.”I have to watch my partner, Gabriel, who has been so, so good this season. There are a few [defenders better]. Van Dijk is unbelievable.”I want to one day be the best defender in the world.

They are so good as well. Of course there’s a big gap but we have to keep going.“I want to win big things with Arsenal.

      FOOTBALL legend Diego Maradona spent his last days in a “house of horror”, a prosecutor claimed during a trial over the sporting icon’s death in Argentina.The World Cup winner’s home care was “reckless and deficient”, according to chief prosecutor Patricio Ferrari as he described the seven defendants on trial.A trial over the icon’s death involved the chief prosecutor showing the court a very graphic image of the footballerCredit: Canal CBAArgentina’s legendary attacking midfielder Diego Maradona died in November, 2020Credit: AFPDoctor Leopoldo Luque (C) during the trial for the death of Diego MaradonaCredit: APPsychologist Carlos Angel Diaz (C-R) during the trial at the San Isidro courtCredit: AFPThe defendants – who were called a bunch of “people who improvised” – are charged with homicide and face up to 25 years in jail if convicted.Mr Ferrari told a Buenos Aires court that the carers were “absolutely indifferent” to the consequences of poor care provided to Maradona, delivering a hard hitting speech at the start of the trial. The prosecutor said: “You will see during this trial what reckless home care is, reckless, deficient, without precedent, without any type of control during the period that ended with Diego’s death.“They co-operated in putting into place a series of factors or circumstances that increased the permitted risk to generate the death of Diego Armando Maradona which is something we say they were absolutely different to.”READ MORE SPORTS NEWSThe prosecutor shocked the room by holding up a grim picture of the player’s last day, which showed the Argentinian icon lying on his back with his bloated stomach exposed under a lifted-up black T-shirt.“This is the way he died,” Ferrari told the court.Over 100 witnesses are set to give evidence in this trial, which will focus on the care he received at a house in Tigre when he died from heart failure in November 2020.Just before he died in 2020, he had returned to the house from a blood clot operation at a hospital.Most read in FootballAlthough the icon struggled with obesity, alcoholism and drug abuse, 20 medical experts stated in 2021 that his death could have been avoided with better treatment.Maradona’s doctor Leopoldo Luque, and his physiatrist Aguestina Cosachov, who were responsible for the footballer’s last days, are due to get in the dock.Former lover Veronica Ojeda, who is also the mother of his 12-year-old son, Dieguito, and his two grown-up daughters Dalma and Gianinna with his ex-wife Claudia Villafane, all attended the court session.When the haunting last image of Maradona was shown to the court, Dalma broke down in tears.Mardona’s former partner Veronica Ojeda arrives at the courthouseCredit: GettyThe star’s daughter Jana Maradona, arrives at courtCredit: ReutersHis medical team face up to 25 years in prison if convictedCredit: AFPMr Ferrari said: “The right to truth is a human right and today Diego Armando Maradona, his children, his relatives, those closest to him and the Argentinian people deserve justice.He added that the public prosecution’s “solid” case was supported by messages from phones seized during property raids as well as witness evidence including the testimony of a number of medical experts.He continued: “We will show that between November 11 and 25 2020, Diego Armando Maradona was introduced into house 45 in the San Barrio neighbourhood in San Benavides in Tigre when, clearly the victim, he was not in full use of his mental faculties and even less could decide on his own about his health.“He entered that place for a clinical rehabilitation and home medical care that we can say without any doubt was calamitous.He said the defendants “improvised” and that they “neglected all the duties they had”.”In that House of Horror where Diego Maradona died  no-one did what they had to do,” Mr Ferrari added.Before the hearing, his former partner Veronica Ojeda launched into an furious tirade at Agustina Cosachov.She was caught on camera from a distance shouting “Daughter of a b**ch”, before police stepped in to separate them.READ MORE SUN STORIESThe other defendants aside from Luque and Cosachov are nurses Ricardo Almiron; Nancy Forlini and Mariano Perroni: psychologist Carlos Diaz and doctor Pedro Di Spagno.An eighth person, nurse Gisella Dahiana Madrid, will be tried separately later this year.The World Cup winner was a club manager as well as a playerCredit: Reuters More
