Rashford returns to Champions League in Aston Villa’s 3-1 win at Club Brugge

BRUGGE: Marcus Rashford resumed his Champions League career Tuesday, starting in Aston Villa’s 3-1 win at Club Brugge in the first leg of their last-16 tie. Rashford did not score his first goal with his new team but put on a strong first-half display, making himself available and showing his pace and great technique on the wing. After Leon Bailey put Villa ahead, Rashford had an excellent chance to double Villa’s lead on the break in the 10th minute from a tight angle, but his effort was blocked by goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. Rashford was replaced by Marco Asensio in the 64th minute. It was Rashford’s first Champions League match since November 2023, when he was sent off for Manchester United against FC Copenhagen. Rashford joined Villa in February on loan from United, where he had fallen out with manager Ruben Amorim. He had not played for United since Dec.

Swiss prosecutors seek suspended sentences for Blatter and Platini

MUTTENZ, Switzerland: The Swiss public prosecutor on Tuesday requested suspended sentences of 20 months for both Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini in an appeal against their 2022 acquittal in a corruption case. An Extraordinary Appeal Court sitting in Muttenz near Basel, will hand down its decision on March 25 in a long-running legal saga which shattered the careers of Blatter, the former president of world football’s governing body FIFA, and Platini, ex-head of European body UEFA. Prosecutor Thomas Hildbrand opted not to call for prison sentences for the 88-year-old Swiss and 69-year-old Frenchman. The case began in 2015 when Blatter quit as head of FIFA in a corruption crisis.

Bayern coach ‘not in the mood’ for question about Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz

MUNICH: Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany gave up trying to answer a question about what makes Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz special. Ahead of the teams meeting in the Champions League on Wednesday, Kompany was asked what sets Wirtz and Bayern star Jamal Musiala apart and what they could learn from each other. “You’ve obviously noticed I’m not in the mood to answer,” Kompany said Tuesday. “From each other, I don’t know,” Kompany attempted at first before saying each player has to take his own path in his development. He said it was a boon for Germany, before saying his players will need be at their best to counter Leverkusen in Munich. Then he gave up. “I’m talking but it’s easier to say nothing. I’m trying to be respectful, but guys, other questions!” Kompany said in the press conference before the first leg of the teams’ last 16 tie. “It’s a good question,” he continued.

Bayer Leverkusen Ease To Victory At Holstein Kiel To Trim Bayern Munich Lead

Bayer Leverkusen tightened their grip on second place in the Bundesliga as they cruised to a 2-0 victory at struggling Holstein Kiel on Saturday while Serhou Guirassy hit four goals as "euphoric" Borussia Dortmund routed Union Berlin 6-0. The victory allowed German champions Leverkusen to cut Bayern Munich's advantage to five points before the leaders host third-place Frankfurt on Sunday. Bayern had ground out a 0-0 draw at Leverkusen in the previous round and the teams have been drawn to meet in the Champions League round of 16, with the first leg on March 5.

Patrik Schick scores for Leverkusen to send his coach Xabi Alonso a message before Bayern games

BERLIN: Patrik Schick showed Bayer Leverkusen what it was missing against Bayern Munich last week by scoring in a 2-0 win at Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Schick, who was omitted by Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso in the top-of-the-table clash with Bayern, got Leverkusen off the mark in the ninth minute in Kiel after Amine Adli did well against two Kiel defenders to set him up. It was Schick’s 15th league goal of the season. Alonso’s decision to only send Schick on late in stoppage time against Bayern raised eyebrows as his team had dominated without scoring for the previous 90 minutes and more with both Schick and fellow striker Victor Boniface watching from the substitutes’ bench. That 0-0 draw kept Bayern eight points clear with 12 rounds left to play. Florian Wirtz played Adli in to make it 2-0 before the break in Kiel, where Leverkusen’s win narrowed the gap to five points before Bayern host Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday. Leverkusen face Bayern again over two games in the last 16 of the Champions League on March 5 and 11.
