team-mates. side, swamped by his team—mates. that was more than just a bowl. barcelona are more than just a club. ollie foster, bbc news. the amateurjockey, guy disney, was the first amputee to ride a winner at a british racecourse and on friday he'll return to sandown for the first race since his victory last month. disney is a former serviceman who competes wearing a prosthetic leg. our sports correspondent, andy swiss, has been to meet him. it's not me trying to say — look at me ride, missing a leg. i'm actually a very selfish person. i do this sport because i love it, i want to win. a journey like no other. guy disney was an army captain in afghanistan when, in 2009, he lost his lower right leg in a grenade attack. his hopes of being a jumpjockey seemed over, but disney was allowed to compete wearing his prosthetic leg, a first in british racing and last month, at sandown, he rode into history. commentator: hats off for captain guy disney, he's going to win the royal artillery on rathlin rose.

his first thoughts, for the young soldier who died alongside him and for those who'd helped his recovery. it's quite hard to put into words. i mean, i'm a product of all the people who've slightly helped me along away. so from the guys who tucked a tourniquet on my leg, to the doctors, the nurses, the physios, to the racing world. just quite nice quiet moment to just try and take it in and think back to a few people as well. just competing though has been a victory. for four years, the authorities wouldn't let him, fearing his prosthetic leg could get trapped in his own stirrup. if i had my foot in the iron and fell backwards and right, i'd get my toes caught like that and then be dragged, which is, you know, a pretty horrific experience. it took this device, called a toe—stopper, to allow him to race. it means you physically can't get stuck in the iron. my foot is all the way in it. if i fall, you slide along the top and you would come out. yeah, so far so good, it works really effectively. since his injury, disney has also trekked to both poles, but racing remains his biggest thrill.

i've ridden around cheltenham at bartow a few times since being injured, not at the festival, but, yeah, if anybody saw this and thought — god, i want to give a one—legged bloke a ride, yeah, mad—keen. in this sport of hurdles none, it seems, is too high. andy swiss, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here's evan. lots to talk about on this budget evening. not least with treasury minister, david gauke, he'll be with us live in the studio to answer questions about national insurance and broken election pledges. join me now on bbc two. so that's newsnight with evan. here, on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a good night. good evening, you are watching bbc

news. i am ollie foster at the bbc sports centre. we saw one of the most astonishing matches in the history of the champions league tonight. barcelona were 4—3 down against paris st germain, but they are through after winning 6—1 in barcelona. luis suarez got there first after a couple of minutes. paris st germain gotan couple of minutes. paris st germain got an away goal to lead barcelona needing six. neymar‘s free kick made it four. it was in the 88th minute.
10:34 pm
but they still needed a couple. surely not enough time? that they have a second penalty in injury time and it was 5—1. with the last kick of the game, sergio roberto got on the end of a beautiful through ball and sparked jubilation as you might expect. the nou camp has seen some pretty exceptional things and this is right up there. 6—5 on aggregate and they go through. the outgoing manager had joked in the pre—match conference that they could score six. he must be feeling very clever. another champions league match to bring you up to date, dortmund beat benfica. manchester city failed to move up

to second in the premier league after drawing 0—0 at home to stoke city this evening. it means leaders chelsea are ten points clear. in what was a game of few clear cut chances, david silva had one of the best of them in the last 20 minutes. and while the home side kept pushing, kelechi ihea nacho put their last chance wide from close range. a frustrating night for city and the first time they've failed to score at home since pep guardiola took over. we did not win, but we did not lose. we did not win, but we did not lose. we played and we chatted and they did not have any chance to score a goal, but we were not brilliant in the last part of the moment, especially with the defence, but we try. i am not frustrated. it is a football game, we tried. in football you can win or lose and we fight
10:36 pm
like never before. we ran, we tried to create chances. people go on about our systems and formations and it is not about that, it is about them committing to a game plan on seeing it through to the conclusion. we had good opportunities ourselves, especially in the first—half and we could have easily taken the lead. we have very few clear—cut opportunities. they had the silver chance and apart from that i do not think my keeper made a saint in open play. think my keeper made a saint in open play. bournemouth‘s tyrone mings has been banned for five matches for stamping on zlatan ibrahimovich‘s head during the draw at old trafford last weekend. his club say they are very disappointed. the incident occuurred just before half time. mings said that he hadn't intentionally made contact with the manchester united's striker‘s head. a few minutes later, ibrahimovich retaliated by elbowing mings in the head. he accepted a violent conduct charge and was banned for three matches. mings had his appeal rejected. bourneouth say they find it

extraordinary that the charges can be described as proven when there is absolutely no evidence to prove the incident was intentional. some six nations news, wales interim head coach rob howley will give his players a chance to redeem themselves against ireland on friday night. he's named the same starting 15 despite defeat in the last match. they went down to scotland 29—13 at murrayfield despite leading at half—time. it was their first defeat to the scots in ten years but howley has resisted the urge to ring the changes. like wales, ireland are also unchanged. jared payne is back in full training after an ankle knock but hasn't done enough to oust garry ringrose at outside centre. there's one change in the replacemnts with wing tommy bowe

10:39 pm
policy as a tax on red, while the express says philip philip hammond is laying down the tracks for the brexit move. the daily express asks what is so funny. the mail shows a picture of philip hammond and says it is no laughing matter. all the references a re it is no laughing matter. all the references are to joked and laughed. this is a man who is supposed to be very dour, a spreadsheet guy, a policy wonk, but he is cracking jokes as if he was les dawson. the most surprising thing about his budget speech was that because we knew it. we knew there would be extra money for social care, education, betty level, or help for
10:40 pm
business rates. we read about the national insurance contributions rising and we knew the obr would be changing their forecast. so the jokes were the surprise. but still it has to be said, caroline, the front page of the times, philip hammond's £2 billion tax rate. the indications were that this was going to happen, he was going to have to do something about social care and he would have to find the money somewhere and that national insurers would be the area
