Jonathan David scored his ninth and final goal in the Champions League this season on Wednesday night as Lille exited the competition to Borussia Dortmund. Combining the qualifying rounds, league phase and knockout stages, only England's Harry Kane, Serhou Guirassy (both 10 goals) and Raphinha (11 goals) have scored more than the nine goals David managed. That is the same as Robert Lewandowski has and one more than Erling Haaland.

The former Arsenal academy graduate Jay Bothroyd believes Mikel Arteta should change the position of Ethan Nwaneri. Bothroyd believes that even before turning 18, he is already a better option than Martin Odegaard on the right-hand side of Arsenal's midfield three, aside from not having as much experience as the club's captain. The Islington native believes manager Mikel Arteta has to play Nwaneri on the right with Odegaard on the left and move Declan Rice back into a defensive midfield role.
