league or not. the champions league itself is on the line for liverpool, after a nervy night in rome — we'll look ahead to a heavyweight final against real madrid. and the great debate ahead of the grand tour — should chris froome really be taking part in the giro d'italia? good evening, we've had a brilliant couple of nights of european football, we'll reflect on liverpool's progress to the champions league final injust a moment but we could be celebrating an engluish double later tonight. arsenal are in madrid facing atletico. it was 1—1 in the first leg of their europa league semifinal at the emirates last week. from madrid here's our sports correspondentjo wilson. beneath madrid's blue skies, a passing tourist suddenly meets a bear. hunting fruit from a tree,

strawberries, they say. the medieval symbol is also the badge of the city's hungry football club, atletico. the real madrid side, for these supporters, certainly. stop for a selfie? bit busy. these atletico players took all that arsenal threw at them in london last week and drew the first leg 1—1. that creates confidence. tonight, the arsene wenger farewell tour will reach a crescendo here or fall flat. 0n the eve of this match, do you actually feel nervous? there's always a part of tension, i would say, tension, desire to win and, you know, as well, with the experience i have, an uncertainty about football. i want to finish with this love story well. over the past two decades, arsene wenger has led arsenal's supporters all over the continent, but never to a european trophy.

so with this semifinal at 1—1 going into the second leg, the question in the plaza mayor is whether those arsenal fans still believe. we believe, we believe! at the end of the day, if you are an old romantic, our name could the trophy and that could be a great way for wenger to go out and all the fans that have given him the stick, anyone would say he deserves to go out this way. i remember in my lifetime, sometimes, we were mid—table. not obviously in the premiership, division 1, but... so, for me, wenger has been a dream. composure will be crucial for visitors tonight, keep your head when others lose theirs. watch out. at their new home ground, atletico have conceded just four goals all season in the league. here, so many come hunting and find nothing. well, as we heard there the one thing missing from arsene wenger‘s

impressive trophy haul is a european prize. he's only reached one final on the continent with the gunners — the 2006 champions league final which they lost to barcelona. chris sutton is in madrid tonight working with radio five live, he was a europa league finalist with celtic back in 2003. he's been talking tojo wilson about arsenal's chances. for arsenal tonight this is arsene wenger‘s last stand, maybe. they have to somehow get the result and i've got a sneaking feeling, i think arsenal will score, i am just not quite sure about whether they will keep a clean sheet. it's funny, because i had this week in european football, it was almost looked like teams are forgotten how to defend. but atletico know how to defend.

they are supremely organised, they have a ferocious manager, it's all about blood, guts and glory. in contrast to arsenal. but they have to match that workrate and that is kieffer them tonight. they have creative players who can score a goal, but it is about how they defend. arsene wenger said he wanted to end his love story well with arsenal. but even when he is gone, in terms of the longer term of arsenal, this competition still has real significance. it does, they need to qualify the champions league, they view themselves as a champions league club. but it's one step at a time. for arsene wenger it is short—term now. it is about thinking let's win the europa league, let's put that to bed, champions league next season. but i wa nt champions league next season. but i want when my legacy at arsenal on a high. liverpool will be looking to end their season on the ultimate high after reaching the champions league final. may 27th, kiev, real madrid.

it was a nail—biting semifinal in italy as they edged past roma. losing on the night 11—2 but going through 7—6 on aggregate. from rome, here's our sports correspondent david 0rnstein. the full—time whistle, liverpool into the champions league final. this is how it feels to reach champions league final and move a step closer to club football's greatest prize. rome conquered, now liverpool's aim is to rule europe again. we didn't do the easy way, we never do. amazing. fantastic. we are ready further real madrid. i think we have a real good chance in a file. with a 5-2 advantage from the first leg liverpool completed their task in the italian capital though

not without a scare, losing 11—2 on the night by going through 7—6 on aggregate. the morning after and evening after such drama, calm restored at the stadium. and what happened here will go down as yet another glorious moment in liverpool's famous history, setting up liverpool's famous history, setting up the chance of winning six european cup in kiev next month. we came in that competition a qualifier and are now in the final. and i am really, really happy for the boys, i am really happy for the club, i am really ha p py am really happy for the club, i am really happy for fans, it has been a fantastic ride so far and now we will go to kiev. it sounds crazy. it is liverpool's night. it seems to work is seems like these that liverpool will hope to replicate. they have exceeded expectations and deservedly stand on the verge of colour glory. the final hurdle, the

mighty real madrid. so, now we look towards kiev at the end of the month. liverpool against real madrid. let's speak now to the european football journalist andy brassell. evening andy, who would real fans have been supporting in that's i think they would have preferred roemer, despite the fact that rome amid the comeback against barcelona and if they manage the same against liverpool i think it would have ranked even higher than that given the way they were outclassed in the first leg. but real madrid i don't think i really over thinking the opposition. even if they really respect liverpool there has been a lot of talk already especially the madrid media about exactly how good lilliedahl are, how hard they work, what threat they pose. real madrid are going to kiev, notjust hoping but expecting to win their 13th

european title because this is a competition they feel most at home in. looking at both teams, scintillating other front foot, in. looking at both teams, scintillating otherfront foot, but very vulnerable as we have seen over the past week in both legs of their semifinals. you could say that. i guess what real madrid would say is they have their trump card, he is defending sometimes by the seat of his pants, but he is such an iconic figure, such a talisman for them. but here's the sort of player that makes them feel they can get out of any situation. they have had a lot of scrapes this season, there is no denying it. they have been way off the pace in la liga. they have diced with danger going back to the last 16 against paris st germain. all their games in the knockout round they were heavily compromised. it is almost better that they are playing in neutral territory because their best performances in the champions league certainly in 2018 have been

away from the blowback. do they wrapped their players in cotton wool? because they have won three out of the last four seasons of the champions league, do you back them in these big games? in the kiev final? i think you do and that is without underestimating liverpool at all. you are right, real madrid and limousines is and will wrap their best players in cotton wool. they are doing it already. because of the way that cristiano ronaldo has evolved over the last couple of yea rs, evolved over the last couple of years, he is more willing to accept a rest now, whereas he watched play every game two 01’ a rest now, whereas he watched play every game two or three years ago and that wasn't doing him any good. now he will sit out and he is seeing the benefits under saddam, coaching from a person he respects, of being able to pick on the second half of the season. —— benefits under zieler

ledeen anand. thank you joining us. also coming up in the programme: we are into the semi final stage at the world snooker championship — we will get the latest from the crucible. and motherhood won't get in the way of medals — laura kenny tells us about her her tokyo targets. you want to try and win as many 0lympic you want to try and win as many olympic gold medals as you can. that is the pinnacle of our sport. so i wa nt to is the pinnacle of our sport. so i want to the games and try to win more gold medals. cycling first grand tour of the year, the giro d'italia starts tomorrow. the first three stages are in isreal before the race finishes in rome on may 27th. let's cross live tojersualem ahead of tomorrow's opening stage and speak to our sports correspondent andy swiss. andy, team sky have predictably been at the centre of attention there, defending chris froome's right to compete after that adverse analytical finding

and the investigation that is still going on. what is everybody talking about on the eve of the race? welcome to jerusalem, in the last couple of hours we have had all the razzmatazz of the opening ceremony which took place in one of the big squares here in front of a large crowd. there was a really good reception for chris froome when he was introduced, but as you say he is competing here under something of a cloud, that drugs test last year. it showed double the allowed amount of the asthma drug. chris froome insist he has done nothing wrong, he says he will clear his name. but he is still under investigation here and if that investigation should go against him any victory he might record in this race could be scrapped. so it has caused a huge amount of uncertainty ahead of this race. a lot of frustration for chris froome and a

lot of frustration also for the race organisers. translation: this hurts the whole cycling world and movement. it isn't possible with a grand tour if an athlete is winning and two days later he may get disqualified. it is not good for fans, for the organisers, or for the cycling movement as a whole. the tour director there are clearly worried about the integrity of his race and what might happen down the line. but let's talk about the racing and the three weeks ahead. very special what chris froome is attempting, a hat—trick of grand tours. that would bea hat—trick of grand tours. that would be a rarity. and also this race is very special in itself. a lot of people outside the cycling fraternity are wondering what you are doing in jerusalem fraternity are wondering what you are doing injerusalem for the start of the giro d'italia. the first stage any stereo stages at a grand tour have ventured outside europe. let's start with chris froome. he is going for what would be one of cycling's greatest achievements. he

w011 cycling's greatest achievements. he won the tour de france last year, he then won in spain. if he wins the giro d'italia he will hold all three of the grand tour titles and no man has done that for some 35 years. in fa ct has done that for some 35 years. in fact he would become only the third man in history to achieve that. so it would be some feat for him. as you say it is also a very important three days for the country of israel, the first time any of the grand tours have gone outside of europe. it has caused some controversy, some human rights groups are saying that by hosting such a prestigious event here it is a way of glossing over israel's human rights record, but it is a hugely important event for the people here. there will be very tight security indeed. when the opening stage gets under way here in jerusalem. it is a time trial six miles around the city. chris froome going for a historic victory. but as you say a lot of controversy surrounding him and this race. thank

you. yorkshireman harry ta nfield yorkshireman harry tanfield has1 yorkshireman harry ta nfield has won has 1 stage one of the tour de yorkshire. the 23—year—old canyon eisberg rider, who won commonwealth silver for england last month, caused a major upset as he easily held off his rivals in a sprint finish for the stage. the 23—year—old canyon eisberg rider, who won commonwealth silver for england last month, caused a major upset as he easily held off his rivals in a sprint finish for the stage. the women's event is a two—day race. the netherlands kirsten vild edging this bunch sprint at the line. she was the favourite prior to the stage — also from beverley to doncaster — and had too much power for everyone else. she won the one day race years ago. britain's alice barnes finished third. laura kenny is aiming for three gold medals at the next 0lympics. already a four time champion in the team pursuit and the 0mnium at the past two games, she also wants to compete in the madison in tokyo in 2020.

speaking to me earlier, she also described how british cycling has changed following a number of controversies but i started by asking her about her return to international competition in march, just six months after having her first child. of the world carries on. and so it was a guest of shock initially going back in. but then it felt like home again, where i belong. it didn't actually take as long to come back asi actually take as long to come back as i thought it would. i always targeted august this year is my comeback. for me it sort of fell on my plate a little. some of the girls we re my plate a little. some of the girls were injured and ill and my coach said they needed me at the world championship. so i went. and i love being back there. so you come back and you get a silver at the world championship. was that a little indicator of where you are at really? what are you looking for the rest of this year? funny, i was really proud that i managed to get a silver six months after giving

birth. i never expected it. a lot of people said i had to settle for silver. it wasn't like that. i haven't been the team since rio. the mei haven't been the team since rio. the me i was really proud that i could get back on my bike six months after giving birth and actually perform. i wasn't at the level i want to be out when i first came back, but i wanted to be part of the team. there was a place going and i thought it would bea place going and i thought it would be a nice way of getting back into competition. my target was always august, it was always a year after giving birth. so i guess that is now iam moving giving birth. so i guess that is now i am moving towards and it is 0lympic quotation now as well so it is just 0lympic quotation now as well so it isjust a 0lympic quotation now as well so it is just a two—year process now as trying to get selected. when you get back into, figures crossed, the visual events, what are we looking for the tokyo? you have two golds to defend. so are you looking to you?” would like to say it here and say yes. but i have to get selected. i think people think because you have

been to the olympics and on those events, if you are carrying on you canjust go events, if you are carrying on you can just go and do it. events, if you are carrying on you canjust go and do it. that isn't the case. you have to actually qualify to get a place in the event asa qualify to get a place in the event as a nation, and then you have to be the best in the nation. and we have had previous world champions, we have the current world champions in the madison. you have to prove yourself. i need to be my best, i need to be the best in the nation before i can compete in the games. so would you look me in, madison and tea m so would you look me in, madison and team pursuit? you want to try and win as many gold medals as you can, thatis win as many gold medals as you can, that is the pinnacle of our sport. i wa nt that is the pinnacle of our sport. i want her to games and try to win gold medals. whilst you were away cycling was hauled over the coals, changes of governments, allegations of bullying, discrimination, the jiffy bag with bradley... i know that was out on the road. did you notice a change in the atmosphere?

when i came back it was completely different. it was a whole new team. it wasn't even just the leaders that had changed. mike whole team had changed. byjim koch, my physiologist, everyone had changed. so when i stepped back in it almost felt like the first time i stepped in in 2010. it was really weird. it was very different. there is lots of protocol and things put in place now which there was not before. but it isa which there was not before. but it is a nice place to be, to be honest. it is refreshing because it is so new and there are so many different people in different roles. was it not a nice place to be a times before? funny, i always loved it. it's weird, you don't see the things that happen behind—the—scenes. the outside world does not see it and i didn't see it. if you speak to a lot of people in british cycling they probably thought, wedded any of that even come from? he spends much
