6:35 pm
them to the liverpool fans. it would be too much of a risk. these issues did happen last time in cardiff with hotel rooms and tickets. uefa have brought in new rules. from now on any city wanting to become a champions league final host has to prove it can accommodate fans. that‘ll be of little consolation to those fans affected here and now. thanks very much. 1,000 supporters were stranded today as flights chartered by the widnes based travel company world choice sports were cancelled. it‘s claimed because they couldn‘t get a landing slot. chris sutton is one of those affected. i can‘t go. simple as that. this ticket is going to go to waste. how do you feel? pretty annoyed. i've

6:37 pm
affected. well if liverpool are to add kiev to their list of european successes you expect a certain egyptian to play an integral part in that following a breakthrough season few could have predicted. joe lynskey‘s been looking at the rise and rise of mo salah. with ten goals in the champions league and 32 in the premier league this has been a season of individual dominance for mo salah. he‘s won all of the domestic personal accolade and goes into this champions league final with some people wondering if he could be on his way to winning the ballon d‘0r, the award for the world‘s best player. these were the humble beginnings where he started his footballing journey, not far from the banks of the nile in his hometown in egypt. throughout this country mo salah has become a sporting icon now. but as we are about to hear from sporting icon now. but as we are about to hearfrom his sporting icon now. but as we are about to hear from his former coach and former hairdresser he has not forgotten his roots. translation: mohammed had a small body but he was very skilful. he is a left footed player. he used a
6:38 pm
score from long distances and take different positions on the pitch. we expected him to be a star but he went far beyond our expectations. we are living a dream because of him. translation: he always dream of joining the egyptian football league and then play abroad. when he comes back here he forgets that he is a star. he forgets about liverpool or rome. he isjust ourfriend star. he forgets about liverpool or rome. he isjust our friend and we are all equal. those are the views of mo salah‘s hairdresser back home as well as his former youth coach. to getan as well as his former youth coach. to get an idea of what mo salah has done all of the poor‘s profile in egypt, let‘s go to cairo and speak to an egyptian footballjournalist. thank you forjoining us. we now know what an icon mo salah is in egypt, cairo in particular, and in his hometown, ijust wonder what he has done for the profile of liverpool and what you think about the team status now in egypt?
6:39 pm
profile has gone up massively since mo salahjoint. profile has gone up massively since mo salah joint. you profile has gone up massively since mo salahjoint. you can even see profile has gone up massively since mo salah joint. you can even see the number fans the club is mo salah joint. you can even see the numberfans the club is gaining mo salah joint. you can even see the number fans the club is gaining from egypt. not only egypt, but from the arab region more generally. and not only the club. everyone is now following the premier league more. they were focused on the golden boot race. everybody was praying for him to win the golden boot and to break the 31 goals record. everybody is really excited for the final on saturday. they are really praying for mo salah to be the first egyptian to win the champions league. what seems are you expecting in cairo? it‘ll be some atmosphere for that match, won‘t it? in cairo? it‘ll be some atmosphere for that match, won't it? yes, unexpected full houses —— i am expecting full houses in every single cafe, pub, every place in egypt, even houses will be packed. if mo salah and liverpool manage to win the champions league and really
6:40 pm
expecting an atmosphere similar to when egypt won the african cup of nations, for example, like, lots of fireworks, lots of people gathering in the street and just celebrated mo salah‘s win. we are alljust praying for mo salah and for liverpool to win the champions league. enjoy the atmosphere and enjoy saturday night. thank you for speaking with us. this champions league final puts mo salah up champions league final puts mo salah up against real madrid‘s rinaldo in the battle for individual supremacy. rinaldo scored 15 in the champions league campaign, more than anybody else in the competition this season. —— ronaldo in the battle for individual supremacy, —— ronaldo in the battle for individualsupremacy, ronaldo —— ronaldo in the battle for individual supremacy, ronaldo scored 15 in the champions league campaign for madrid. if mo salah was able to grab the headlines in kiev this weekend he could put himself in line to become the first player since 2007 to stop ronaldo or winning it.
6:41 pm
you wouldn‘t bet against him doing that if he continues as he started. what a season he has had, as hasjurgen klopp who has —— to stop ronaldo or messi winning it. what a season he has had, as hasjurgen klopp who has masterminded their run through to teh final. adam lallana full of praise for the part their manager has played in getting them there. he has had such an impact on the lads. especially in the champions league. he builds the atmosphere at anfield. the atmosphere has been absolutely remarkable. there will be more of the same, i‘m sure, in kiev. the liverpool fans everywhere. it‘s been great to have him at the front of our team this year. and how we perform on the pitch illustrates what he is as a manager. i'm sure we will be hearing more from the liverpool camp in the coming days. the women‘s champions league final
6:42 pm
is already underway in kyiv between two european heavyweights, the holders lyon up against the german champions wolfsburg. two teams with real european pedigree, the holders lyon up against, the german champions wolfsburg. it‘s goalless with less than 20 minutes to go — but it probably shouldn‘t be. lyon have a strong case for this one, as it clearly went over the line. lucy lu cy bro nze lucy bronze was voted footballer of the year. we wonder what she can do to turn around the fortunes of her club. they are trying to win three champions league finals in a row. two more football lines for you — two roma fans have been charged over violence in the lead up to the semi final first leg between the italian side and liverpool at anfield, one for wounding and inflicting grievoius bodily harm. sean cox who was attacked remains in a critical condition in hospital. and the tottenham manager mauricio pochettino has signed
6:43 pm
a new five—year contract with the club, which will run until 2023. spurs once again qualified for the champions league last season, a second consecutive top three finish, which had seen him linked with some of europes top clubs. stay with us on sportsday still plenty to come... we‘ve a cool, calm collected daniel riccardio in practice ahead of the glitz and glamour of this weekend‘s grand prix. and there‘s some blood, sweat and tears too, as this former premier league hotshot takes to the ring. painful stuff, as it was in the cricket today. after defeats to new zealand and australia over the winter, surely the familiar surroundings of home would help england rediscover their touch in test cricket. but after being bowled out on the first day of the opening test with pakistan at lord‘s, perhaps not. as tim hague explains these are testing times for england. for many the first home test of the
6:44 pm
year marks the start of summer. for somerset off—spin add—on their skid marks something more special, his england test career. —— but it marks something more special, his england test career. they lost captain joe special, his england test career. they lost captainjoe root special, his england test career. they lost captain joe root shortly after. pakistan were bowling really well and were in no mood to let up. ali picked up his second of the morning. with england‘s winter of discontent continuing into summer, alastair cook remained defiant and here was another half—century as he jonny bairstow, and later ben stokes looked to put england on the front foot. yet every time the host rallied pakistan stopped them in their tracks. losing alastair cook for 70, their tracks. losing alastair cook for70, a their tracks. losing alastair cook for 70, a big
6:45 pm
their tracks. losing alastair cook for70, a big blow, and it their tracks. losing alastair cook for 70, a big blow, and it would become a great day for pakistan after that. the fielding matching the quality of the bowling is the final five wickets fell for 16 runs after tea. all out for only 184, england have to respond. a combination of broad and all of the mod cons cricket had to offer did just that. there will be no doubting which one of these two asides will be feeling it this evening. —— two sides will be feeling it this evening. joe wilson is at lords. having and not learned their lessons after the winter —— have england not learned their lessons after the winter? the fans have been making their way home quietly. i don‘t know if it is frustration or just acceptance. because this has become so familiar. as you said earlier, this is in new zealand, this isn‘t australia, this is the home of english cricket. we
6:46 pm
had a group of pakistan bowlers who performed with great discipline and accuracy. so often with these early summer accuracy. so often with these early summer test matches in england, you get tourist who struggle in the conditions. but pakistan have been here playing county cricket. they also had that test match in ireland. i think also had that test match in ireland. ithinki also had that test match in ireland. i think i have acclimatise. they had plans and they have stuck to them. they bowled in an english style combined with loose shots from alastair cook in particular. then you have jos alastair cook in particular. then you havejos buttler coming out to add the middle order power, what has his recent experience been? twenty20 cricket in india, different from the circumstances here. this is one day against many coming up this summer. but when you see another collapse of england, you wonder if this type of performance has become habitual. if thatis performance has become habitual. if that is the case, how do england break out of it? the forecast is overcast conditions, bowler friendly conditions he would think. it‘s a long summer. england need to do something very quickly to change the
6:47 pm
mood. 0therwise, after a grim winter, the summer could quickly ta ke winter, the summer could quickly take a winter, the summer could quickly takea similarturn. winter, the summer could quickly take a similar turn. pakistan will resume on 52—1. thanks very much. from a genteel lords to the glitz and glamour of monaco where daniel riccardo led a max verstappen in a red bull one — two in first practice ahead of sunday‘s grand prix. jennie gow is trackside looking ahead to this weekend‘s action. daniel riccardo was quickest in both sessions and set a new track record, becoming the first driver to go under 1:12. his team mate max verstappan was next with ferrari‘s sebastian vettel recording the third fastest time ahead of lewis hamilton. as the pink hypersoft tyres made their f1 debut, there was a near miss on the hairpin as verstappen made way for romain grosjean. the dutchman claiming "he drove into my front wing" — getting too close for comfort is just one of the challenges of racing in the principality. we know it is really close around the street circuit. it could make for exciting racing this weekend.
6:48 pm
simon yates‘ hopes of becoming the first british man to win the giro d‘italia have taken a knock — he‘s lost half his lead on stage 18. a group including chris froome and second—placed rider tom dumoulin left yates behind on the final climb of the day, and managed to pull out a gap of almost half a minute. the briton, who‘s looked so strong for the last two and a half weeks, suddenly seemed vulnerable — he made it across the line 28 seconds behind dumoulin. so his lead is down to 28 seconds, with three stages to go. froome is still fourth overall. elsewhere in sport today, rory mcilroy has made a bright start to the bmw pga championship at wenworth. he made seven birdies to put himself inc onctention after teh first round, one shot off the lead, behind south african duo dean burmester and darren fichardt on sidx under. —— on six under. british number three cameron norrie claimed the biggest win of his career. it came againstjohn isner in the quarter finals of the lyon 0pen. he‘s ranked at number ten in the world. this was a big win. he‘s into his first atp semi final. norwegian politician
