Carlo Ancelotti Questioned As Real Madrid Face Alaves
Carlo Ancelotti and his faltering Real Madrid side are under the microscope ahead of their visit to Alaves on Sunday, fighting to break out of a slump and stay in the La Liga title race. Los Blancos are four points behind leaders Barcelona, who visit Leganes on Saturday, and need to bounce back from their 3-0 thrashing by Arsenal on Tuesday in the Champions League.

Pedro Porro Rescues Ange Postecoglou As Tottenham Hotspur Held By Eintracht Frankfurt
Ange Postecoglou's bid to end Tottenham's long trophy drought is delicately poised after a 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday. Postecoglou's troubled side trailed to Hugo Ekitike's early goal in north London, but Pedro Porro hauled them level before half-time. Tottenham laid seige to the Frankfurt goal in the second half but couldn't find a winner after hitting the woodwork twice. The result means under-fire Tottenham boss Postecoglou must mastermind a memorable victory in the second leg in Germany on April 17 to keep alive his hopes of winning the club's first trophy since the 2008 League Cup.
