Victor Osimhen scored the opener in Galatasaray’s 5-1 thrashing of Konyaspor to qualify for the final of the Turkish Cup.

Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu, says his administration will ensure Christian Chukwu, former Eagles captain and coach, is immortalised. Mbah spoke during a condolence visit to the family of Chukwu, who died on April 12 at the age of 74. Chukwu, who hailed from Enugu and died in the city, was the captain of the Super Eagles when they won their first-ever Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title in 1980 on home soil. The ex-footballer was survived by Lillian, his wife, and their children and grand kids.

Arsenal have qualified for the semi-final of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League (UCL). The Gunners booked the final-four ticket after defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday. A late goal from Gabriel Martinelli put the icing on the cake for the London club after Bukayo Saka and Vinicius had already cancelled each other’s strikes early in the game. Arsenal successfully did a double over the Galacticos after thrashing them 3-0 last week at the Emirates stadium.

1 week ago | thecable.ng | Idris Shehu

Aston Villa scored two second-half goals to defeat PSG 3-2 in the return leg of their UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarter-final tie on Tuesday. The result was insufficient as the French champions qualified for the final four with a paltry 5-4 aggregate win. Unai Emery’s team lost the first leg 3-1 at Parc des Prince last week, and in the early stages of the return fixture, Villa looked as flat as they were in France.
