disappointed if it was a question of that being the end of england and wembley, but i don't believe that would be the case and if it meant that just a few other would be the case and if it meant thatjust a few other games add to be taken outside of wembley and around the country, i don't see that asa around the country, i don't see that as a negative personally. wembley has witnessed many incredible moment over the years. a new chapter in that history might now be about to begin. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodnight. hello and welcome to sportsday with me will perry, the headlines tonight.

if you try to script arsene wenger‘s final european night at the emirates, fill the place out to make it has to start as well. alexandre la cazette it has to start as well. alexandre lacazette played his part almost to post and then center stage. in an ideal work you will want to beat looking good. 90 minutes it to be seen dash for him to get sent off. they were finding it hard to watch. they were finding it hard to watch. the one that could watch would have enjoyed but that's starring role. a breakthrough at last. arsenal hung in there and had their goal. you sensed that they would need more. antoine griezmann show them why. playing the pantomime villain, atletico barely out of their own half all game, arsenal barely believing what they're seeing. another night of european frustration for arsene wenger, just didn't read the script. the encounter, bbc news. so watching at the emirates for us was our sports

correspondentjoe wilson... just looking at the body weight which of those arsenal players at full time, it looked like a defeat for them, didn't it? to standing here wondering if what we saw in the 90 minutes this evening is kind of symptomatic of the last decade or so of arsene wenger‘s arsenal. they had loads of position, loads of nice interplay against a team down to ten men for almost entirety of the game, but there was a lack of directness and a lack of goals until the 60th minute with a header from lack of that. arsene wenger in the last few minutes had to describe the game as a wasted opportunity. he says arsenal had enough chances in this 90 minutes to really put the whole time out of sight. to take arsenal there. of course it is not over and it is only 1—1, but the atletico madrid's record at home is outstanding. especially defensively. they may well have diego costa fit to start if they want to take the direct route to attack arsenal. if arsenal get the first goal in the

return leg, maybe some confidence will return. the body language at the end of this game would certainly look like a team which felt it had been defeated. that is joe wilson out that the emirates for us live on sports day. in the other semi final first leg tonight marseille were 2—0 winners over rb salzburg. the second leg in austria is thursday night. wembley stadium, the home of english football, could be sold to shahid khan, owner of the american football, the jacksonville jaguars. shahid khan also owns fulham football club, who are hoping to secure a lead to the premier league this season. he's offered a package of around £900 million. its part of plans to increase the number of nfl games to be played in london. the fa discussed the potential sale at a board meeting today, they say that if the sale does go through, it would allow greater investment in grassroots participation football. the former liverpool and england captain steven gerrard is on a shortlist to become the new manager of rangers as a possible replacement for graeme murty.
