good evening. thank you forjoining us. chelsea have done it, crowned champions of europe after beating manchester city with celebrations going well into the night. was it thomas to go's masterclass, or did pep guardiola get his selection wrong? —— thomas tuchel�*s masterclass. laura scott has been gauging the mood from the fans that were lucky enough to be out in porto. up early to remind anyone who might have forgotten that chelsea are champions of europe again. but while there was elation for one set of fans this morning, elsewhere there was deflation, and not just for the giant trophy. what's done is done, we've just got to move on and go on for next year. do you know what, we've come here, we've had a ball and we're going home.
6:33 pm
we're champions of england, there is nothing more you can say. we know what we are, we know what we are! | no way to explain it, really, just buzzing. it's great when you are the underdogs and you win, that's the best feeling. but for chelsea fanjack, he missed the one thing he came here for, after a few too many of these. was it the final that you'd hoped for? well, i had a ticket, a50 quid, and i didn't make it into the stadium, so i watched it around some portuguese people's house, they were very nice. on the night, the english champions were outsmarted by thomas tuchel�*s chelsea. early chances for both sides came and went, butjust before half—time, the blues found the crucial breakthrough. their most expensive ever player, kai havertz, justifying his pay packet. chance for chelsea! a moment greeted byjubilant scenes. pep guardiola had taken a tactical gamble with his team selection, but he couldn't find the key and when this last—gasp chance by riyad mahrez missed, it was over.
6:34 pm
the chelsea celebrations didn't take long and stretched far and wide. a boyhood dream realised for the club's academy graduate mason mount. the staging of the final here at short notice hasn't been without controversy, but as the city quietens down again, authorities say it has largely played out smoothly and peacefully. there were some concerns from locals about the potential impact on covid, and from that perspective, the success of this event will take a while longer to establish. at the end of this most unusual of seasons, chelsea and english football on top in europe once more. laura scott, bbc news, porto. it's been a really impressive end of the season for chelsea manager, thomas tuchel, who, remember, only replaced frank lampard four months ago. the former chelsea winger, pat nevin says that the german deserves all the credit for leading
6:35 pm
the club to european glory. they just don't seem theyjust don't seem to lose goals at all, even against the best, incredible the way they are playing, and the growth and ability of players, they were brilliant players before, and even better now. n'golo kante has been playing outstanding. i want to say world—class but it is galactico class, last night he was special and the best on the field. every single player, even the ones that have struggled before, kai havertz scored the winning goal and he will be special. it's taken a while to get the best out of him. he got the tactics brilliantly right, he gets the best out of his players and we will see he is making the chelsea hierarchy smile and if they keep him on for another year. chelsea are very interesting now because they squeezed into the top four anyway but they didn't need that in the end because they won the champions league. they are a team,
6:36 pm
you look at it now, and think they are going to challenge next season. they keep playing the way they are, they will add players and thomas tucher they will add players and thomas tuchel�*s team will be stronger next season than they are this season because the maturing of the younger players and those that they will bring in ulster but i wouldn't be surprised if they end up challenging to win the premier league. if you had asked me that two or three months ago i would have questioned your sanity. what a day it's been for blackpool after securing promotion back to the championship. they've beaten lincoln city 2—1 at wembley in the league one play—off final. and it was a roller—coaster of an afternoon for the seasiders. nesta mcgregor reports. most of us have a re—occurring dream about work, and chances are footballers are no different. so, picture this, blackpool versus lincoln, the league1 play—off final at wembley in glorious sunshine.

today in paris. and there's already been plenty of controversy. the world number two, naomi osaka, has been fined and threatened with disqualification if she continues to boycott media duties. a decision she says is to protect her mental health. adam wild has more. paris in the sunshine, after a year of disruption this was the french open back where it belongs. but arriving at roland garros, all the talk was of who wouldn't talk. behind the mask here, naomi osaka, not yet on court but already courting controversy. her refusal to do post match press conferences to protect her mental health has divided opinion. her extraordinary talent, though, quite beyond debate. already a global sporting icon but yet to prove herself on clay. perhaps this was the year. against romania's purchase your romeu take

she ultimately found her feet, through to the second round, without serious concern, at least, not in court, good to her word, not a word to the press afterwards, prompting tournament organisers to point out that she chose not to honour her contractual media obligations. the referee, therefore, issued her with a $15,000 fine. they add to the mental health of players is of the utmost importance to the grand slams, but should she continue to ignore her media obligations during the tournament, she would be exposing herself to possible further code of conduct infringement consequences, including default from the tournament, more substantial fines and future grand slam suspensions. she may be one of sport's biggest stars but it seems naomi osaka staying silent doesn't mean the word be a row. adam wild, bbc news. it was a day to forget for british number one, dan evans. he was knocked out by world number

6:42 pm
after three weeks of tough racing, all the hard work finally paid off for eggen bernal and the ineos grenadiers team. the pinkjersey on his back was finally his to keep. the colombian�*s second grand tour title and the 12 won by sir dave brailsford's british team. stage victory on the day for his team—mate filippo ganna, the giro d'italia ends not with a procession but a competitive time trial finishing by milan's do omo. not without its risks, his wife remi cavagna only posted the second fastest time we had filippo ganna. hugh carthy would also slip in the standings from seventh to eighth overall. but no final day drama for the leaders, simon yates confirmed his third place overall having challenged for the lead in the final week. damiano caruso claims second, the italian crowd cheered their new hero as he gained 30 seconds on bernal. but the colombian had enough in hand to claim top spot on the podium by

1.29, and with it very well and drink. drew savage, bbc news. that's all from me and the team at sportsday. next on the bbc news channel, it's the film review. goodbye for now. hello and welcome to the film review with me, mark kermode, rounding up the best new movies available for viewing both in cinemas and in the home. back in 1961, disney scored
6:44 pm
an animated hit with 101 dalmatians adapted from the novel by dodie smith. a live—action remake starring glenn close as cruella deville followed in 1996 with a sequel 102 dalmatians a few years later. now, as disney's campaign to recycle and reboot its back catalogue continues apace, we have cruella, a live—action prequel that's been in the works for almost a decade and which glenn close gets an executive producer credit. do you have a light? they gasp. like the hit stage show, wicked, which revisited the early years of a fairy tale villain from the wizard of oz, cruella creates an explanatory back story for its anti—heroine scary reputation. emma stone is estella,
6:45 pm
taken in by artful dodgers jasper and horace, after the dalmatian—fuelled death of her mother. you, grubby girl. yes? do you have your card? estella dreams of being a fashion designer, following in the footsteps of emma thompson's splendidly imperious baroness, the true villain of the piece, to whom she becomes both dogged assistant and deadly rival. you look vaguely familiar. i look stunning. playing out on the streets of �*70s london, cruella boasts winning turns from joel fry and paul walter hauser, the latter of whom charms despite having apparently studied at the dick van dyke school of "cor blimey, mary poppins!" cockney accents. 0h, we need that! as for stone, she's fine in the lead, but thompson steals the show at every turn. the film may be called cruella, but it's the baroness who holds our attention. just as it's thompson rather than stone who channels the electrifying screen energy of glenn close.
6:46 pm
you can find cruella in cinemas and on disney+ with premier access now.
