Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) showed weakness in the mountains but he's got a chance to forget all about that on Sunday in his favourite discipline: a pan-flat individual time trial. The Belgian favourite leaked 14 seconds to Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart (both Ineos Grenadiers) on a lively finale to Saturday's Stage 8.
Carlos Alcaraz celebrated that “it’s great to be world No. 1” after beating Albert Ramos-Vinolas 6-4 6-1 in his Italian Open debut on Saturday. Alcaraz was impressive yet again as he beat his compatriot in the first round, and the points earned with the victory mean that he will be the new world No.
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said he was “not happy” with Chelsea playing “too slow” in their 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Lampard’s miserable second run as manager at Stamford Bridge continued on Saturday with another underwhelming performance from his side, who are on their third manager for a single campaign.
Ineos Grenadiers duo Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart can “start to play the numbers game” and take the fight to Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) at the Giro d'Italia, according to Eurosport expert Adam Blythe. Thomas and Geoghegan Hart starred in a lively finish to Stage 8 on Saturday, following a strong attack from Roglic on the final climb, as Evenepoel wilted behind. The pair refused to contribute more than a token effort to Roglic’s attack as they were dragged to the finish in Fossombrone – taking 14 seconds back on Evenepoel in the race for the maglia rosa.
Sebastien Haller hit a double and Jude Bellingham netted from the spot as Borussia Dortmund kept up their title push with an emphatic 5-2 win over mid-table Borussia Monchengladbach. Die Shwarzgelben responded to leaders Bayern Munich’s 6-0 rout of Schalke earlier in the day with their own goal-blitz as they charged to a 4-0 lead inside 31 minutes. Ad Donyell Malin set the ball rolling on five minutes with a simple close-range header before two goals in two minutes courtesy of a Bellingham penalty and a sublime flick from Haller ensured there would be no nervy evening for the home supporters.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag hailed a “vital” victory over Wolverhampton after a string of poor results. United had one win in their last four matches and looked to have put a top-four finish in peril as rivals Liverpool pushed up the league at the same time. Ad Ten Hag’s men now have a four-point lead over Liverpool, who sit in fifth, and are level on points with Newcastle in third with three league games remaining.
AC Milan’s hopes of a top-four finish in Serie A suffered a devastating blow as Stefano Pioli’s side lost 2-0 to relegation-threatened Spezia at Stadio Picco. Milan were hoping to bounce back after suffering a chastening 2-0 loss to Inter Milan in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final but their season continued to spiral downhill following this damaging defeat. Ad Przemyslaw Wisniewski popped up with the opener with just 15 minutes remaining and Salvatore Esposito netted his first goal for the club to secure the points – just Spezia’s second win since January.
Southampton were relegated from the Premier League after losing 2-0 to Fulham on Saturday afternoon, while Crystal Palace beat Bournemouth. Southampton had home advantage but it was not enough, as the visitors scored twice in the second half. Ad Macro Silva’s Fulham had two-thirds of possession as they dominated the match.
