hello, i'm chetan pathak and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme: the european champions league beaten. liveable lose their opening game of this season's champions league. and will tell you why england cricketer ben stokes has told a british newspaper "utterly disgusting" for publishing a story about a family tragedy. welcome to the programme. thank you for joining welcome to the programme. thank you forjoining us. liverpool start the defence of their trophy with a defeat after being beaten at napoli. in stoppage time, a capitalisation

from a rare mistake from virgil van dyck to double the lead. liverpool are first holders to lose the opening game since ac milan 35 years ago. when it felt like all was lost for us and liverpool were all lost, that was when the whole team stayed focused and kept offending. then, the two goals came from peculiar the situations but we played a very, very complete match. i'm very happy for that. it was a game where you - where you can win at napoli, but we didn't score, it doesn't really work otherwise. we wanted to have at least a point. yeah, because of the penalty am pretty sure that there are different views on that situation, but when the playerjumps before, there is contact, then it

cannot be a penalty. but we cannot change that anymore, so that's how it is now we carry on. our football reporter says liverpool shouldn't be too worried by the result. yes, a bit like last season they lost all of their away games, last season in the group stage. they went on to lift the trophy, so there shouldn't be too downhearted about this result. but napoli did really well. a key moment, the penalty, the liverpool layers and pans —— players and fans not too happy because of the fall, not a dive, after andy robinson left his leg in. before that, being denied by adrian, a wonderful say. you will not see a better save than that in the whole of the champions league this season, and we are only on match day one of the group stage. fernando scoring his goal, he isjoined of the

european summer his goal, he isjoined of the european summer after tottenham at the end of last season. sorry really good win for napoli. as you said, liverpool didn't do too badly after losing to them last season. let's see what happens to them in this campaign. barcelona saw lionel messi come on. he came on after an hour and they needed him. he was pretty quiet, he had a chance at the end for barcelona, which was blocked. that would have been really unfair if lionel messi had ordered a late winnerfor barcelona. it if lionel messi had ordered a late winner for barcelona. it finished 0-0. winner for barcelona. it finished 0—0. they will be wondering how they didn't win the game. i can sell them, the barcelona goalkeeper was in brilliant form, he denied marco rose for a penalty spot, and made a number of other spots as well. he was off his line. i will say that. perhaps it should have been retaken,

but still a really good save. we haven't really seen that rule applied as it should be. not since the women's world cup, a lot of goalkeepers must be looking at these games and getting so frustrated that this rule isn't being applied in the big games. sansa had a good game, he missed a decent chance as well in the first half was that in the end, relief for barcelona. the brilliant performance, i think they're going to be so strong this season in the bundesliga and champions league. plenty of other good stories around this tuesday on the champions league. in particular, for inter milan with a stoppage time equaliser? that late equaliser for inter. they have started serie a so well. they needed a late equaliser. they drop points early against prague, not a good situation. the other story from tonight which i really love, a star is born in the champions not a 19—year—old from norway scoring a red bull for ——

with the cooperation of a family member. it added the tragedy was also a matter of public record and was the subject of extensive front page of the city in new zealand at the time. often when people become hope profile or celebrities, it becomes almost carte blanche, everything about them, their private life, theirfamily, everything about them, their private life, their family, their old friends, anything from their history almost becomes fair game and many would argue that isn't fair and that the family and friends of that individual have a reasonable expectation to keep that information private. today, ben stokes received support from ecb, his employers, adding they were disgusted, appalled and saddened by the story. thanks to his performances with both bat and bulk the all—rounder has become one of the most famous faces and bitter sport, now he has taken a stand of the field two. —— bat and ball. whales are sending one of their coaches home. rob howley allegedly

wednesday starts on a chilly note. the coldest spots in the countryside in low single figures and there will be a few mist and fog patches around. but also a lot of sunshine across much of england and wales, cloudy skies in scotland, outbreaks of rain, including some heavier bursts in the north for a time. parts of eastern and southern scotland brightening up during the day, more sunshine in northern ireland by the afternoon, some patchy cloud though, filtering furth south through england towards north wales and the midlands. south wales and southern england staying mostly sunny and this is where we will see the higher temperatures, around about 20 celsius. now, as we go on through wednesday evening and night, a lot of clear weather around through northern ireland, much of england and wales into southern scotland, some patchy cloud, but also some patches of mist and fog developing as it turns quite chilly once again. the exception will be northern scotland, holding onto cloud, temperatures here in double figures, and still some light rain or drizzle to be had. but for most, thursday starts quite chilly, some poor visibility around

in places, so bear that in mind. fog may be slow to clear in some spots. drier in northern scotland, turning a bit brighter here during the day, and elsewhere there will be good, sunny spells around, and any patchy cloud slow to clear. and those temperatures are just edging up a few degrees, that's a sign of things to come for friday into the start of the weekend. why? high pressure is still with us, but it's moving eastwards, having a flow of air, warm air, to come in from the sale. that's going to lift temperatures more widely into the low, even for some spots into the mid—20s. though, particularly by saturday, that will be on a freshening wind coming in from the south or south—east. now, there is a weather system coming our way over the weekend, it isn't here on friday, though. again there will be some mist and fog patches around, slow to clear on friday, but for most places there be a lot of sunshine, turning breezy in the west and it will feel warm in that sunshine. now, into the weekend, for many, we will start dry and sunny, here is a view for some places down the eastern side of the uk, 25 celsius in london. but as the weather

system moves eastwards during sunday, more cloud around by then and a chance of seeing some rain out of that cloud, and temperatures come down a little.
