very iw to come of course throughout the evening but i'm now a sportsday. hello, i'm olly foster, these are our headlines this evening: few would have predicted a liverpool and roma champions league semi final — both clubs have defied the odds. klopp says they will seize the opportunity. probably pro ba bly lots probably lots of people thought the semifinal would usually be barcelona against manchester city but it's not. liverpool's mo salah already has his hands on one trophy, voted the best in
6:34 pm
england by his peers. and the world championship trophy is still a long way off at the crucible, but we'll have the latest from the first round in sheffield. hello and welcome to sportsday. the fa cup semi finals dominated the weekend sports news, this week our attentions turn towards the last four in the champions league and also the europa league. there's english interest in both. tomorrow night it's the first leg of the champions league semi final between liverpool and roma. jurgen klopp gave his prematch thoughts to the media today, from anfield, here's hugh woozencroft. welcome to the calm before the storm
6:35 pm
though the nerves are already beginning to fray ahead of another pulsating night of european football here and fields, but it may well boil down to experience. jurgen klopp was a losing finalist in 2013 with borussia dortmund but how exactly is that experience going to feed into his players? for them, it's a very different story. liverpool have not been semifinalists in the champions league since back in 2007 when they we re league since back in 2007 when they were runners—up under rafa benitez. for roemer, a similar story. they have not got past the quarterfinal stage for a decade. how do the managers feel? jurgen klopp gave us his thoughts on what should be a crucial encounter. we both have the chance to go to the final and that's all i need, nothing else. people talk about pressure or whatever, once—in—a—lifetime chance i've heard, it's not like that. if i go to the finals a second time in my life, nobody would have thought
6:36 pm
that, so it's crazy enough, it's possible. if it's possible, let's try everything to do it and if anyone thinks we are the underdogs, who cares? we are but at the semifinal and we who cares? we are but at the semifinaland we can who cares? we are but at the semifinal and we can go to the final and that's all i care about. things slightly boiled over at man city's arrival for their quarterfinal tie, manchester city's coach was damaged by flying objects, police officers we re by flying objects, police officers were injured as well and nowjurgen klopp has asked their fans to adjust their behaviour. this is such a fantastic football family, known for fantastic football family, known for fantastic atmosphere is all over the world, we don't need to throw whatever on the barcelona opponents team, if we can create an atmosphere in front of the stadium, let's do it, a big fan of that, but please, show the respect they deserve.
6:37 pm
liverpool fans being urged byjurgen klopp to use their in easy as in the right way here at anfield tomorrow night, there should be a tough reception for the roma players, saying this was the worst possible draw for them because liverpool are warriors with nothing to lose. we shall see. a special sportsday from 6:30pm tomorrow, all the preview and build up to another fantastic european night at anfield. you will be there tomorrow evening, too. liverpool will be hoping that mo salah‘s hot streak in front of goal keeps going against roma, his previous club. 41 goals for the season was the reason why he won the vote of his fellow pros and is the pfa player of the year. the egyptian was quick to thank his teamates for passing the ball to him a lot, 31 of his goals have come in the premier league, equalling the record for a 38 game season. manchester city manager pep felt that his midfielder kevin de bruyne should
6:38 pm
have won the award but de bruyne did actually give his vote to salah. 0ther nominees were david silva, david de gea, leroy sane and harry kane. after a previous unsuccessful stint at chelsea, salah said he had a point to prove on his return to the premier league. it was very clear in my mind i would return to the premier league and show everyone my football after my time at chelsea. unhappy about the award, happy for my team—mates and what we are doing in the premier league and champions league, we have to carry on because there are still some games to go. leroy sane was voted the young player of the year. the 22—year—old has scored 13 goals for manchester city this season. his 12 assists in the league is second only to de bruyne's 15. the german international beat harry kane to the award as well as city team mates ederson and raheem sterling.
6:39 pm
chelsea and england striker fran kirby is the women's player of the year, bristol city's lauren hemp took the young player prize. kirby was one of five players from chelsea to be nominated. she's scored 22 goals in all competitions this season and they are unbeaten the league. it's very humbling for me, i have to say a massive thank you to everyone who voted for me, it's great that people don't mind me scoring against them once in a while. i'm happy to win this award, thanks to my team—mates who have been able to put me in this position, coming off a long—term injury. the main thing for me was to play as much as i could and happily i've done that, i want to win as much as i can with chelsea and hopefully with england as well. fran kirby's england team mate lucy bronze is one of five nominess for this years bbc women's footballer of the year award. the winner is voted for by you, here's a quick look at the shortlist with their highlights from the past 12 months. epic being at wembley, scoring the
6:40 pm
goal, winning the game, the whole experience of lifting the cup. that was pretty special, something i will never forget. it was the year rose, it was really big for a nation like denmark to go all the way to the final. the goal in the final was a big moment and a great goal. the tournament of nations, i came in, i'd been scoring for my club, i had not really started to school for the national team and that tournament just showed me i can do it at any level. the biggest moment was with
6:41 pm
my team at the olympics, we won all three titles, it's an amazing feeling. i never will forget this. winning the year rose in your own home country, in front of the amazing crowds, unbelievable. scoring in a final is always a great feeling, then we won at the end. 4-2, it feeling, then we won at the end. 4—2, it was an amazing final. more details of all the nominees can be found on the bbc sport website in the women's. arsenal are preparing for the first leg of their europa league semi final against atletico madrid on thursday. that will be arsene wengers final european match at home. the club announced last week that the frenchman would step down at the end of the season after almost 22 years in charge. he has criticised the fans who have been calling for him to leave over the past few seasons saying they have damaged the
6:42 pm
club's image. there was little to protest about yesterday at the emirates, a four one win against west ham. the man who brought wenger to the club in 1996 says he will go down as the greatest gunners manager. for one man to stay in the job in modern football is quite exceptional, extraordinary. you have do hope the new guy coming in will be able to certainly inherit arsene wenger‘s values for the club, which have been quite extraordinary. he has to be successful, the only advice i can give him is get a winning team. everything flows from that, it's quite simple. the fa have apologised for posting a tweet on their official account mocking the england striker harry kane in the wake of spur‘s defeat to manchester united in the fa cup. this was the post — posing the question to united defender chris smalling.
6:43 pm
"what's in your pocket, chris?" in a doctored video, smalling repeatedly said "harry kane". the fa have apologised to both clubs. it's embarrassing because kane could captain his country this summer, smalling isn't likely to make the squad. there's one match in the premier league tonight. not much riding on the game between everton and newcastle with both safe and just looking for the for a top ten finish. sam allardyce will be facing one of his former clubs — he does have six of them. spend so long now, i've known nothing but respect for the football clu b nothing but respect for the football club or the fact that while it was unjust in my view that unlocks my job, it happened and i have moved on. “— job, it happened and i have moved on. —— that i lost myjob. after the difficult time of that
6:44 pm
period, i have managed to recover and get back in the premier league. i'm really pleased with everything, everything going on. hopefully we can get more points and stay higher in the table, but the main target was to stay in the premier league, we did it and we did it brilliantly. we mustjust tried we did it and we did it brilliantly. we must just tried to we did it and we did it brilliantly. we mustjust tried to do our best until the end and again, i will say, see what we want to do in the future. you are up—to—date on all the football. more football coming later in the programme. the big shock over the weekend at the world snooker championship in sheffield was mark selby‘s early exit. we've had more first round matches today and bbc sports hazel irvine is at the crucible. it's proving a rather costly championship for the top seeds, we have lost the defending champion mark selby and marco fu today. shaun murphy was bundled out byjimmy jones, a man ranked 50. history
6:45 pm
repeated itself because the same scenario six years ago, how deliciously did this man fight today? the little tiger lived up to the nickname i have given him. i'm so the nickname i have given him. i'm so impressed with how he died in the line newlywed. it wasjust so impressed with how he died in the line newlywed. it was just a question of whether he had performed to counteract the good stuff shaun murphy produced and he produced a lot of it. shaun murphy produced back—to—back centuries to go 8—5 in front. sean was up butjust could not kill this fellow off. the interval came at the right time for some respect forjamie jones. interval came at the right time for some respect forjamiejones. shaun murphy did not keep the pressure on. it was a great game, it was a typical first round crucible match, there were mistakes but neither player totally collapsed so they took chances from each other, there we re took chances from each other, there were tactical points at play, a fascinating point to watch. whoever
6:46 pm
gets very will improve for the next round, he has the reward of a best of 25 match where he can get his teeth into it but these best of 19s, the top seeds have to bring their a—game to the table now because if they don't they will get turned over. he will now play wilson the ninth seed. the top half of the draw is opening up. mark allen came through today, the masters champion who will now playjoe perry. the fellow who knocked out mark selby. how did you rate mark allen today?|j thought how did you rate mark allen today?” thought it was good but that's what i expected him from him. i think mark allen is becoming, he's been a top player for mark allen is becoming, he's been a top playerfor a while, but i think is becoming a marquee player in the game. triple crown under his belt, that has mentally made a difference. the difference for me is he has no wea kness the difference for me is he has no weakness in his game. whether fitness could play a part, to be fair, ithink fitness could play a part, to be fair, i think he will be all right. he is playing at the top of his
6:47 pm
game. it's all getting extremely interesting and rather intriguing. coverage continues online and by the red button this evening, plenty more to watch enjoyed before highlights 11pm. a 29—year—old runner died during yesterday's london marathon. matt campbell, who was from cumbria collapsed in the last four miles of the race and died later in hospital. he had completed the manchester marathon earlier this month in under three hours. the cause of death isn't known yet. campbell who was a chef, reached the semi finals of last year's masterchef: the professionals. yesterday's race was the hottest on record. there were record numbers taking part, over 40,000. 0rgansier‘s issued warnings about the conditions and gave advice but two of their water stations ran out of supplies. we absolutely looked at everything we could, we reviewed it and
6:48 pm
reviewed it again. we had contingency water that we put out, what you must do is over a period of time, look at what you did, review it again, it should we have run out of water? no, i would it again, it should we have run out of water? no, iwould not it again, it should we have run out of water? no, i would not want to happen. but we absolutely looked at it in real detail, we will do it again in the cold light of day and make certain we learn from what happened in this year's event. the heat was not any bother for us. i think we would struggle if it was above 30 plus. we produce a lot of wind, it was quite breezy yesterday, to be honest, so we got a bit of a breeze coming into your face on that. the fun runners that run for hours on end, it was probably tough for them. it was getting a bit warm midday, it was 24 degrees, so that's a little bit warm but we seemed to be all right in the conditions. england rugby union captain dylan hartley will miss the summer tour of south africa because of concussion. he hasn't played since
6:49 pm
picking up a head injury in the six nations loss to ireland last month. hartley has been told to take an extended rest from the game. 0wen farrell is likely to deputise in his absence. let's just return to football, thousands of fans at this time of the season experience extremes of emotions, those highs and lows of following your team through good times and bad. a study has found that being a supporter is likely to make you more miserable than happy, something that our reporter and sunderland fan graham satchell probably knew already. relegated from the prmier league last season, they dropped out of the championship this weekend. go to sunderland, they said, ask the fa ns go to sunderland, they said, ask the fans if they are happy. there's a report out about whether football makes fans happy or not. laughter you can understand sunderland fans
