7:46 pm
welcome to the programme. chelsea women are just moments away from kicking off in the champions league final against spanish champions barcelona. it's a match that emma hayes has been waiting for her whole career. her side has the chance to win four trophies this season after securing the wsl title. earlier i spoke to former chelsea player pat nevin. he expects chelsea to beat barcelona, because he says every member of the squad is world class. chelsea have got such strength and such quality. i mean, everywhere, everywhere on the team. in—depth, the squad is special as well. that's they got past bayern munich. bayern
7:47 pm
munich in particular, anyone who watched the last ten minutes of that game, it was extraordinary. maybe the most exciting game of the season anywhere and it was just... i'm smiling just think about it and that was character, it really was character, and a little bit of luck as well. sometimes you need that, but what they will not like is the belief because they have emma hayes and she has just drilled that belief into them. and she has “ust drilled that belief into them. ,,, ., ~ ., and she has 'ust drilled that belief into them. ,,, ., ~ ., ., , into them. speaking of emma hayes, ersonall into them. speaking of emma hayes, personally for — into them. speaking of emma hayes, personally for her, _ into them. speaking of emma hayes, personally for her, that _ into them. speaking of emma hayes, personally for her, that would - into them. speaking of emma hayes, personally for her, that would be - personally for her, that would be such an achievement. she was part of the arsenal team that won the champions league, assistant manager then, but what will it mean to her, can you put it into words what it would mean to her? if can you put it into words what it would mean to her?— can you put it into words what it would mean to her? if you're that her lifetime's _ would mean to her? if you're that her lifetime's work. _ would mean to her? if you're that her lifetime's work. she - would mean to her? if you're that her lifetime's work. she is - would mean to her? if you're that her lifetime's work. she is among the most driven human beings i have come across in my entire life and remember i have worked in football for all these years, but for her, she has to try and be the very best and she has pushed that club, pushed every single player and i was watching a training session yesterday and the way that she gets the girls smiling constantly on the

7:49 pm
between her and the goalkeeper and when she was within the chelsea mindset, she started to slow down in front of goal and itjust went from there. the two of them together, fran gets player of the year and rightly so, but sam must have been in with a shout, but plenty of players in that chelsea team would have been up for it that as well. sam kerr said shejust have been up for it that as well. sam kerr said she just needed to settle. quickly, give me your prediction. i settle. quickly, give me your prediction-— settle. quickly, give me your rediction. ~ , . prediction. i think it is so close, i think it prediction. i think it is so close, i think it will — prediction. i think it is so close, i think it will go _ prediction. i think it is so close, i think it will go all _ prediction. i think it is so close, i think it will go all the - prediction. i think it is so close, i think it will go all the way - prediction. i think it is so close, i think it will go all the way to i i think it will go all the way to extra time and chelsea mightjust sneak it to — one purely because of their squad. sneak it to - one purely because of their squad-— sneak it to - one purely because of their suuad. ., ~ ,, , . ., their squad. thank you very much for our their squad. thank you very much for your thoughts- _ their squad. thank you very much for your thoughts. we _ their squad. thank you very much for your thoughts. we are _ their squad. thank you very much for your thoughts. we are all— their squad. thank you very much for your thoughts. we are all looking - your thoughts. we are all looking forward to that one. at 95 minutes and the score at 1—1, it looked as though liverpool were going to drop points against already relegated west brom. but in the last seconds, keeper alisson ran the length of the field to head in the winner from a corner and rescue three points for his club. it was particularly poignent moment for the brazilian, who's father died last month. craig templeton reports.
7:50 pm
it's been a pretty murky title defence for liverpool, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. the plan is clear. when their last three and they will be in the champions league next season. this season, though, has rarely gone according to plan and going behind already relegated west bromwich is not what he was looking for. or how robson can you was looking for was the back of the net. but when you have more seller, you always have hope. his own personal race for a third golden boot is still very much on. —— salah. the assistants had other ideas, deem to be obstructing the keeper saw no goal. when you are in desperate need of a winning injury time, what do you do? sent the keeper up. how often does it work? never. not this time. allison with the most remarkable moment in what has been a difficult season for him
7:51 pm
and his team, a team whose top four chances are still in their hands thanks to their goalkeeper. it's the best goal i ever source called by a goalie, because it is not scrappy, getting the boot in, second bowl, those things, it is... when striker scores like that people quality worldy. that was a worldy. he is marked on top of that. incredible, absolutely special. meanwhile tottenham's hopes for a place in europe were boosted after a 2—0 win over wolves took them to sixth in the premier league. goals from harry kane and pierre emile hojberg saw them leapfrog west ham on goal difference. joe lynsky was watching. this could be the last day in england football without fans. smaller capacities are back from tomorrow, but tottenham could end this season with something else missing. they still don't have a manager and the caretaker, ryan mason, is just 29.
7:52 pm
that is just two years older than spurs's pivotal player. harry kane got the opener against wolves, this goal putting him one in front in the premier league's top scorers. that is the only trophy he can win with spurs this year. their season has been full of near misses, one after another. this time, though, they faced a wolves side counting down to end the season. too slow to pick up hojberg's ran for 2—0. spurs go up to six, but are waiting for change in the dugout and in the stands. so let's take a look at the top half of the premier league table. and with champions manchester city, manchester united, leicester and chelsea currently in the champions league places. just behind chelsea are liverpool in fifth who're in the europa league place on 63 points, but tottenham and west ham aren't far behind.
7:53 pm

whilst it's been a dry and sunny day for a few of you, for others, there's been some intense showers and thunderstorms and there are more to come again on monday, some of the worst of them in slightly different areas to where we saw through today. still some sunshine in between and whilst we've got the showers around at the moment, some of them will fade through the night, but there will be some continuing, particularly across parts of england and central scotland. a reasonably mild night, i think, for many, with temperatures dropping down into low single figures probably in northern ireland and south—west scotland. now, as we start monday, a fair bit of cloud around, but some sunny spells. many will start dry. there will still be some showers from overnight across scotland, northern and central parts of england, butjust notice how the showers blossom, again, perhaps fewer across the western half of england and wales compared with what we saw through today, but more intense showers and storms in eastern scotland and eastern parts of england. in the sunnier moments, it should feel pleasant under those blue skies, but with the showers coming through, feeling much cooler
