in tonight's champions league football it's been a hugely disappointing night for tottenham, who needed to avoid a home defeat byjuventus to book a place in the quarter—finals. spurs went ahead early in the tie, but the italians fought back in the second half. from wembley, natalie pirks reports. the saying goes that football is more important than life or death. tonight began with a reminder that simply isn't true. emotion etched on the face of giorgio chiellini. in honour of theirformer international team—mate, the italians were up for it. spurs, too. son had been threatening the goal all match. there's the chance, oh, it's gone in! this was just reward. yes, the strike wasn't exactly vintage, but it was huge unimportance. how quickly things can change, though. first, higuain levelled forjuve. and there's the goal, the flag stays down! and, mere moments later, dybala sent travelling fans into raptures. the old lady had awoken. spurs had gone from composed to rattled, in the blink of an eye.

a spurs goal would take the game into extra time. hoisted in towards harry kane! but the post stood between harry kane and tottenham fans‘ dreams. vital clearance by the italian international. inconsolable on the turf, yet another year of disappointment. spurs had the advantage of of away goals from the first—leg and when son scored everybody thought they would go through. juve have reached two of the last three finals and tonight that experience just told. 4-3 the tonight that experience just told. 4—3 the final score across two legs. totte n ha m 4—3 the final score across two legs. tottenham left shell—shocked. better news for manchester city. they are through to the quarter—finals despite losing 2—1 on the night. basel inflicting their first home defeat since 2016. city won 5—2 on aggregate. city and liverpool through to the last eight. tottenham's run alas is over.

natalie many thanks once again. natalie many thanks once again. natalie perks there for us with the latest from wembley. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a good night. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh woozencroft. our main headlines this evening. heartbreak for tottenham hotspur, who can't make it through to the champions league quarter—finals — out at the expense ofjuventus. manchester city lose at home for the first time this season beaten by fc basel in their second leg but the premier league leaders are comfortably

through to the last eight. team sky deny what they call ‘unsubstantiated allegations‘ of the overuse of medication to enhance performance. we start, of course, with the champions league, where manchester city went into their last 16 second leg, all but assured a place in the next round. and so, all eyes were on wembley, where spurs took a precarious 2—2 draw away atjuventus into their second leg. however it wasn't to be — a 2—1 defeat on the night meant they were eliminated on aggregate. 0ur sports correspondent natalie pirks is there for us this evening. spurs will have every reason to feel

disappointed, especially after how they played over those two games? exactly they played over those two games? exa ctly a nd they played over those two games? exactly and in a way they came back into rain and scoring tonight and is taking the lead, everybody was convinced it would be spare is going through to the quarterfinals alongside the other two english teams but juventus showed alongside the other two english teams butjuventus showed why they have been in two of the last three finals, that composure and experience to come back in the second half with a change of attitude and that mad two or three minutes that turned this game on its head. spurs really did give everything in the final 15 and they desperately tried to force this game into extra time but it was not to be, as nick parrott reports. experience of the shop in the champions league counts for a lot and those two appearances in the last three finals, juventus have more than tottenham. when things don't go your way they key is not to panic but the italians were not calm after douglas costa was brought

down. the frustration was notjust directed at the referee, son heung—min was lucky his night was not ended after andrea got stuck in. the bruising encounter spurred the south korean as the infected a different count of pain. 0ne italian who kept his head while all around lost theirs was the manager, after one hour without a shot on target he changed tactics, which changed everything. gonzalo higuain levelled and in the space of less than three minutes they went ahead. in the final minutes harry kane almost rescued tottenham but despite making giant strides getting passed one of europe's best proved a step too far. pochettino afterwards said spurs deserved much more, he blamed two big mistakes in a matter of minutes and i'll desperately said although they are disappointed, he was proud,

they are disappointed, he was proud, they played fantastic football until they played fantastic football until the first goal and they dominated but you need this type of game to build you as a player to compete at this level and that is all very well. spurs have made fantastic strides under pochettino but four seasons and no trophy so at some point that experience they are building and that fantastic attacking football league play does have to count for something. they could still win a trophy this season, still in the fa cup, but at some point the fans will start asking when it is going to click for them. natalie pirks, thank you. at the etihad the task for manchester city was a little easier as they took a 4—0 first leg lead into their tie with fc basel. they make it through to the last but, pep guardiola's side didn't have it all their own way, beaten for just the fourth time this season, asjim lumsden reports. pep guardiola said city had to dominate to reach the same level as barcelona. he won the champions

league twice with them and has his sights set on a similar feat. it took sethi seven minutes to score, gabrieljesus with his first goal since november. but then the complacent city were caught out and muhammad ali and as he fired home for basel. much to the displeasure of the boss. but the tie had already been won in switzerland and the second half was played in second gear with neither side bothering to make much of an effort. until the 20 minutes to go, michael lang gave basel the lead. they bowed out having inflicted a first home defeat of the season on pep guardiola's side. the fans will not mind, the clu b side. the fans will not mind, the club is in the quarterfinals of the champions league but only the second time, nothing less than he would expect. the route to the silverware continues. there will be one trophy decided tonight, it is a big night for the england women who only need

one point from the final match of the she believes cup against the usa to win. they've already beaten france and drawn with germany, the americans though are the highest ranked team in the world, so plenty at stake tonight. the match gets underway in just over an hour's time and defender millie bright says the team can send a message out to their rivals by winning the competition. for starters we have never been in this position in this tournament before so to be in that position already sends a big message to eve ryo ne already sends a big message to everyone and shows our capability of being one of the top teams but to win this will seal the deal. and allows everybody to start believing in as as much as we believe in ourselves so it will send a big message but we know what we're of. you can watch that much live on bbc two from midnight this evening. and follow it on the bbc sport website. to cycling, and team sky have tonight said they strongly deny "allegations about the use of medication to enhance performance, as does their former rider bradley wiggins". it comes as the head of world cycling's governing body — the uci — called for an investigation

into the team following a damning report by mps this week. david lappartient has also told our sports editor, dan roan, that chris froome shouldn't defend his tour de france title unless he is cleared of the overuse of a legal asthma drug, and that team sky principal sir dave brailsford should consider his position. it would be a disaster for recycling, on a legal point of view he has a right to ride but it would bea he has a right to ride but it would be a disaster. i don't want to put oui’ be a disaster. i don't want to put our sport and a jumble so even for him to concentrate on defending his own case, my point of view is it would be better for own case, my point of view is it would be betterfor him not to write. i come in britain the future of sir dave brailsford is being discussed heavily, many think the time has come for him to go. should he resign? i think he has to take the best decision for cycling in

great britain. i saw all of the state m e nts great britain. i saw all of the statements in great britain. but for the image of team sky and cycling, and we know how cycling, how strong it is in great britain and i am thinking of the millions of fans riding their bikes and enjoying cycling, i don't want them to go away from the sport, i want to tell them they must believe in a clean sport and our sport is one of the clea nest sport and our sport is one of the cleanest and more clean than in the past and we will continue to do this. in line with this, he has to ta ke this. in line with this, he has to take a decision he has to take. england's women have announced their squad for the upcoming tour of india with three players earning theirfirst call—up. bryony smith, alice davidson—richards and katie george have been named in the full squad for the first time, while there are returns for kate cross, tash farrant and amyjones. henry moeran has more. the tri— series is all about

preparation for the world cup. and i guess, as a selection panel we sat down to look at a few areas where we could improve as a t20 team and we have not played a lot of t20 in the last few years as an international tea m last few years as an international team so for us it is to find the best players to make an impact in the world t20 and with the 0dis not counting towards the points, it means we can blood of some young players and look at a few younger players and look at a few younger players and look at a few younger players and have a new think, which is being reflected in the squad. edinburgh wing blair kinghorn will make his first start for scotland in place of injured winger tommy seymour when they face ireland in dublin in the six nations on saturday. kinghorn came on as a replacement during the win over england and he's the only change as coach gregor townsend sticks with 1a of the 15 who've recorded back—to—back wins in the championship. back row taulupe faletau returns at number eight to captain wales against italy in cardiff on sunday.

with me are caroline wheeler, the deputy political editor at the sunday times, and jane merrick, political commentator. thank you for coming in. nerve agents again. tomorrow's metro leads on the discovery that a nerve agent was used to try to murder a former russian spy and his daughter in salisbury. the financial times says the eu has ‘forcefully rebuffed' theresa may's vision for a brexit trade deal. the daily telegraph also has the story of the poisoned russian agent — it says pressure is mounting on the uk to take tough steps against the kremlin. tomorrow's daily express reports on heartbreak for coronation star bill roache, whose daughter has died of a blood disorder. the guardian also leads on the story of the poisoned russian spy, with a cctv image of sergei skripal at his local shop before he was apparently attacked with a nerve agent.

the daily mirror calls the affair an outrage, and says uk fury is growing. the sun highlights the police officer who was one of the first on the scene at the poisoning, calling him a hero cop. he is also now fighting for his life. so let's make a start. metro... the police have said it is this deadly nerve agent, the kind of agent used in the tokyo subway attack back in 95. this suggests a country or a state was behind this. exactly country or a state was behind this. exa ctly a nd country or a state was behind this. exactly and we have been waiting, this story broke on sunday and has been running ever since but we have not known exactly what it was that has caused the grave injury to what we thought was two but now it is three with a police officer and it has been confirmed they think it might have been sarin and this is a

question of, how much damage has this done and how quickly hasn't happened? this done and how quickly hasn't happened ? also, this done and how quickly hasn't happened? also, who has perpetrated these crimes? there are not going to be that many people who have access to this time of material. probably only a handful of states that could potentially have access to this sort of chemical weapons and of course, everybody is going to be thinking, it has to be russia, given what we know about this particular agent was my background. also, the fact that vladimir putin was on record at the time saying those who had been involved in this would eventually kicked the bucket. in terms of the seriousness of the story, it is ramping up. not only because we now know what caused it but also because there is a british individual who has been caught up in this. does the fax... it is appalling what has happened to sergei skripal and his daughter but the fact that a british officer has been injured in all of
