At what point did Luis Enrique know it was going to work out, that his Paris Saint‑Germain team would beat Inter at the Allianz Arena to win the club’s first Champions League title? The manager had certainly cut a cool and confident figure when he emerged on to the pitch about 90 minutes before kick-off for a quick temperature check with his coaches. The PSG ultras were already behind one of the goals, bobbing up and down en masse. They would be a forceful presence throughout.

The suffering only makes it sweeter and how Paris Saint-Germain had suffered in the Champions League after the Qatar Sports Investments takeover of 2011. Prior to this season, it had been 12 consecutive qualifications for the knockout rounds and 12 assorted sets of heartbreak, some of them scarcely believable. A first success in the competition consistently eluded them.

Sporting have told interested clubs – including Arsenal – that Viktor Gyökeres will cost a fee of €80m (£67m), the Guardian understands. The Portuguese champions are prepared to cash in on Gyökeres, who has scored prolifically for them since his £20.5m move from Coventry in the summer of 2023. But although Sporting will not seek the full value of his €100m release clause, they have resolved to hold out for at least €80m.

1 week ago | theguardian.com | David Hytner

James Milner has opened up over the freak knee surgery complication that left him unable to move his foot for months and fearing he would not walk normally, let alone return to football. The 39-year-old Brighton midfielder made an emotional comeback as a late substitute at Tottenham on Sunday after nine months out – it took him to 638 Premier League appearances; Gareth Barry holds the competition record with 653.

For Ange Postecoglou, it was not the most damaging defeat of what has been a traumatic Premier League season. What happened on Wednesday night in Bilbao ensured there was zero jeopardy on the outcome here, the Tottenham fans still floating on the euphoria of the Europa League triumph against Manchester United. Brighton wanted to lock down eighth place to give themselves hope of a Uefa Conference League finish.
Tuchel tells Alexander-Arnold to take England defensive role ‘very seriously’

Thomas Tuchel has told Trent Alexander-Arnold he must bring a single-minded focus to the defensive side of his game because one slip at the World Cup next summer could see England pack their suitcases and go home. The head coach said he saw Alexander-Arnold as a right-back, albeit a “unique” one, rather than a midfielder as he named him in a 26-man squad for the qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona on 7 June and the friendly against Senegal in Nottingham three days later.
