‘Bring it on’, says Rice as Arsenal chase Champions League history
LONDON: Declan Rice has urged Arsenal to embrace the weight of history in their chase for a first Champions League crown ahead of Wednesday’s semifinal trip to Atletico Madrid. The Gunners travel to the Spanish capital for the first leg looking to move a step closer to only their second Champions League final appearance. Mikel Arteta’s side have been labelled English football’s nearly men after three successive runners-up finishes in the Premier League. They have fallen short in Europe as well, losing 3-1 on aggregate to eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinals last season and bowing out against Bayern Munich in the 2024 quarter-finals.

Algeria’s Luca Zidane doubt for World Cup after jaw fracture
MADRID: Algeria goalkeeper Luca Zidane is a doubt for the World Cup after suffering a jaw and chin fracture while playing for his club Granada in Spain’s second tier. The son of former France great Zinedine Zidane was taken off with a concussion after colliding with an opponent during his team’s 4-2 home defeat by Almeria on Sunday. The 27-year-old is expected to miss the rest of the season and could be out for even longer if he needs surgery. “The player, in consultation with the club’s medical staff, will decide in the coming hours on the course of treatment to be followed,” said the club in a statement late Monday. Luca Zidane is Algeria’s first-choice goalkeeper and their back-up options Anthony Mandrea and Melvin Mastil are also currently out injured. Algeria’s World Cup campaign begins on June 16 against reigning champions Argentina.
