of luck along the way, like most teams, but if the way they can start games i do about it that way, i don't think real madrid can beat them, this liverpool team is a totally different team to demand that played them into thousand i cannot see anything other than liverpool winning.— cannot see anything other than liverpool winning. does that come into -la liverpool winning. does that come into play as' _ liverpool winning. does that come into play as' mines, _ liverpool winning. does that come into play as' mines, i— liverpool winning. does that come into play as' mines, i know - liverpool winning. does that come into play as' mines, i know it - liverpool winning. does that come into play as' mines, i know it is - liverpool winning. does that come into play as' mines, i know it is in| into play as' mines, i know it is in m0 salah's might when he got roughed mo salah's might when he got roughed out of the game. ads. mo salah's might when he got roughed out of the game. as. lat mo salah's might when he got roughed out of the game-— out of the game. a lot has been made of that, it out of the game. a lot has been made of that. it is — out of the game. a lot has been made of that. it is a — out of the game. a lot has been made of that, it is a press _ out of the game. a lot has been made of that, it is a press narrative - of that, it is a press narrative where they put things into his head but he will answer the best way he can, i do not think it is a revenge mission, it is a case of they are out there and showing people what they can do. it is liverpool football club, i don't think liverpool were ready in the last one, relatively new, but the more than ready now.—

they are full—strength, i will bring you the team news later in the programme. of course, you look at the incredible run real madrid had, down and out against psg in the last 16, came back to get to the quarterfinals, losing 3—0 to chelsea, got into the semifinals, amazing game against manchester city, late goals from rodrigo, benzema, 15th for him. actual it says it is the real madrid way, we will talk about luck and what part the stadium may play later as well is that all—important team news, but for her now let's head back to the bbc sport centre. more for you. olly, thank you. from the champions league to rugby league's challenge cup — the final was held today at the tottenham hotspur stadium for the first time. and it looked like huddersfield giants were going to win it for the first time since 1953 — only for wigan warriors

to snatch victory at the end. adam wild watched the drama unfold and heartbreak for huddersfield at the end. heartbreakfor heartbreak for huddersfield, absolute delight for the wigan warriors. it was a challenge cup finalfrom warriors. it was a challenge cup final from the warriors. it was a challenge cup finalfrom the ages, warriors. it was a challenge cup final from the ages, you warriors. it was a challenge cup finalfrom the ages, you can probably see the victorious wigan warriors players on the pitch, they have had a shabby, got changed, having the celebrations with a trophy, a final team talk from the coach. what a day it has been for them. they probably didn't have the best ever in the first half, not their usual fluent itself, went into their usual fluent itself, went into the break behind when huddersfield's jermaine mcgilvray scored a try in the corner, a storm water for the giants. nearly an hour played at

that point and many of the huddersfield fans around thought that might be enough for the giants to claim theirfirst that might be enough for the giants to claim their first trophy since 1953. however, it wasn't to be, with moments remaining wigan's liam marshall managed to pick up the ball and squeeze in at the corner and head of that huge bang of wigan warriors fans. they sent them absolutely delirious. it was high drama right until the end. absolute delight for the warriors, heartbreak for huddersfield. let's hearfrom liam farrell, part of the wigan side last time they won the trophy nine years ago, he was captain for the day today. years ago, he was captain for the day today-— day today. wasn't the prettiest, let's be honest, _ day today. wasn't the prettiest, let's be honest, played - day today. wasn't the prettiest, let's be honest, played against| day today. wasn't the prettiest, l let's be honest, played against ac out lletter— let's be honest, played against ac out better than that, it shows how mentaily— out better than that, it shows how mentally tough this team is to hang in there _ mentally tough this team is to hang in there to — mentally tough this team is to hang in there to the last minute of the

it's turning out to be a fascinating tussle for the drivers championship in formula one. charles leclerc is in pole position for his home race tomorrow, after an eventful end to qualifying at the monaco grand prix. the ferrari driverjust edged ahead of his team—mate carlos sainz. max verstappen had to make do with fourth on another frustrating day for lewis hamilton. ben croucher reports. monaco, they call it the playground of the rich and famous, expensive yachts, fast cars and 20 drivers got to show off their wheels around the tight twisty circuit, this playground carries danger around every corner. the main protagonist aid in one piece, and when it was time to take it right to the wall, ferrari's charles leclerc had the edge, feeling right at home. lewis hamilton committee times a winner here, only managed eighth behind

lando norris and team—mate george russell. as everyone tried to catch leclerc, some were left chasing their tails. leclerc, some were left chasing theirtails. sergio leclerc, some were left chasing their tails. sergio perez lost a rare, and remember the danger around every corner? callow assignees didn't see it coming. the world's riches, brightest and fattest may flock here but to go fast a little note local knowledge can go a long way. —— brightest and fastest. next to the french open tennis — where the world number two danil medede is into the last 16. —— medvedev. he's yet to drop a set despite playing on clay which he says he doesn't always enjoy. the russian was in impressive form against 28th seed miomir kecmanoic — he hit 42 winners including this one on match point in a straight sets win, 6-2 6-4 6-2. he reached the quarterfinals last year and will play marin cilic in the fourth round. no problems eitherfor last year's runner—up at rolland garros stefanos tsitsipas — the numberfour seed could meet

medvedev in the semifinals after taking just over an hour and a half to get past sweden's mikael ymer in straight sets. in the women's draw the top seed iga swiatek is also through — the world number one won 6—3, 7—5 against montenegro's danka kovinic. that extends her unbeaten run to 31 matches. swiatek�*s in a league of her own lately, chasing a second french open title — and is the only top—ten seed left in the women's draw after aryna sabalenka and paula badosa failed to make it through today. port vale will be back in league one next season, after they beat mansfield 3—0 in the league two play—off final. it's five years since the staffordshire club were relegated to the bottom tier but kian harratt�*s stooping header set them on their way after 20 minutes. and just four minutes later, they made it two. ben garrity�*s header hit the bar but james wilson scored his 15th of the season. mansfield had 0li hawkins sent off

for a second yellow before former mansfield player mal benning wrapped it up for vale late in the second half. grimsby town are 90 minutes away from a return to league two, after a dramatic win over wrexham in their national league playoff semifinal at the racecourse ground. after the match finished 4—1; in normal time, it looked to be heading for a penalty shootout before this 118th—minute headerfrom captain luke waterfall won it for grimsby. that puts them into the final at the london stadium where they'll play either solihull moors or chesterfield next sunday. time now for a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today, and... italy's alessandro covi was a popular winner on stage 20 of the giro d'italia — but the real drama happened behind him. australia's jai hindley broke away from race leader richard carapaz to take the pinkjersey. he's now one minute 25 seconds ahead with just a time

trial to go tomorrow. glasgow hosted the first round of the bmx world cup — there were high hopes for the british riders after a successful olympics but colombia's diego arboleda won the men's event, with britain's kye white making a late run to take third place. olympic champion beth shriever was eighth in the women's final. and american businessman todd boehly�*s takeover of chelsea will be completed on monday. the club was put up for sale in march before owner roman abramovich was sanctioned over his links to russian president vladimir putin. chelsea, just a few hours longer, will be european champions, will it be liverpool or real madrid that replace them? ollie foster is in paris, poised with the team news, which i can see liverpool fans are happy with their midfield.

there were a few questions about that, but before i get to the team news, not the smoothest of preparations for liverpool, they got stuck in traffic, stuck on the motorway on the outskirts of the northern suburbs of paris, and the real madrid players would like to sort of choreograph both buses arriving at the same time for both teams, real madrid man wandering around on the pitch i liverpool were still stuck on the motorway, they have arrived now but a good 20 minutes or so after real madrid. the team news, you mentioned the midfield, this is liverpool, fabinho and tiago who are carrying knocks, both trained last night, jurgen klopp happy with what he saw and both star in that midfield. the back four of trent alexander—arnold, can yeti getting the nod ahead of me to, virgil van dijk, ali robertson on the other side, henderson alongside fabinho and tiago, the fancy that we

expected. mo salah, 31 goals this season, eight in the champers league. sadio mane and lewis diaz who has made such an impact, cash on foray quadruple himself, the club cannot get it but remember he did win with senegal the africa cup of nations, he is chasing a quadruple, the only man on the picture can do that. real madrid so confident and it news, they are fully loaded, all fighting fit and at full—strength. carlo ancelotti and real madrid tweeted this, a good sort of 45 minutes ago or so. well before they were due to do so as uefa told them to. mendy, trying to deal with mo salah at the left back. a potent midfield, luka moderate, casemiro. and your own front three. the front to you look at, that young

brazilian, and benzema at the age of 34, 44 brazilian, and benzema at the age of 3a, 41! goals this season, 15 of them in the champions league, a hat—trick here and that will be a record for a champions league season. federico valverde preferred to roderigo, the super sub who scored those two goals against manchester city to see them into extra time before benzema put them into the final, amazing game. gareth bale is on the bench, remember what he did four years ago against liverpool. he came off the bench in kyiv to score an amazing overhead kick, a couple of clangers from lois karius, mo salah got carted off injured. some fans will remember that, someone want their revenge but tonight, after a couple of these champions league finals have fallen flat in recent years, this one surely cannot. 19 european cups are there between the two

sides, liverpool against real madrid, commentary on radio five live but for now, until i am back in the next hour, see you then. hello again. for many parts of the country, cloud did tend to build up through the day. still with some bright or sunny spells, but skies like these were fairly typical, however across southern and western wales and south west england, it is a different story. here, we kept large amounts of sunshine pretty much all day. it really was a beautiful day there in parts of devon. now, overnight tonight, we will keep variable cloud feeding in on these northerly winds. thick enough to bring a few showers to the north and east of scotland, one or two into north—east england, otherwise it is dry, but with clear spells and cool air, it will be a chilly night, temperatures at sixes and sevens across the northern half of the uk. a colder start then to sunday morning, many of you will see some morning sunshine, however cloud will again bubble up, but this time to such an extent that we will see showers breaking

out across parts of scotland, england and wales, northern ireland should stay fine and dry, closer to an area of high pressure. temperatures down on recent days, it is going to feel a little cooler in the breeze across the north, but warm enough in any may sunshine.
