the semi—final line—up. manchester city will play real madrid after completing thejob in germany against bayern munich in their quarter—final, while it's inter against ac milan in the other semi, after inter held off benfica. joe lynskey watched the action unfold and joins us now. man city had a commanding lead coming in to this second professional chopper manchester city in the intimidating place. they drew on that night but that the renewal of people up in ancestor the first like more than enough to see him through this quarterfinal. and into the semifinal to play real madrid the same team beat them at the same stage in this competition last year. it could have been even more comfortable for the city had early haaland scored from the penalty spot in the first half. but rare for him, letting the pressure get to him and going over the crossbar. then having the chance is to

close that gap but holland made amends for that missing the second half with his 48th goal in all competitions. extending the record for a premier league player in one campaign. they did score a late penalty but too late by then. the city into the last four to face real madrid and they are on the prospect of that match saying, i had a feeling we would see them come mobile. all clothes know that if you want to be the champions league you have to be real madrid. champions league you have to be real madrid-— real madrid. looking forward to that semifinal. _ real madrid. looking forward to that semifinal. the _ real madrid. looking forward to that semifinal. the other- real madrid. looking forward to that semifinal. the other one. l the was a goalfest in milan as inter came through against benfica? real sense ofjubilation real sense of jubilation for inter. real sense ofjubilation for inter. they drew on the night with the portuguese champions but they had a commanding lead from the first like to stop a two—goal advantage in a proceeding through. 503 on aggregate. second—half goals from their argentine pair. that made this comfortable for inter

and the second half. they gave me 31 feet on the night and they had set up that tantalising semifinal, as he say against their city bibles, ac milan. have been the of the champions league before the last time back in 2005 when ac milan one in the quarterfinals. he went on that into claiming that fema spinal which they lost to liverpool. they lost to liverpool. they'll ultimate in semifinal 6003 which ac milan also won. close between them in the serie a. ac milan fourth interfor. it will the serie a. ac milan fourth inter for. it will be quite the double—header at the san siro next month. double-header at the san siro next month.— double-header at the san siro next month. �* , , , ., next month. business end of the composition _ next month. business end of the composition of _ next month. business end of the composition of exciting - next month. business end of the composition of exciting stuff. - composition of exciting stuff. thank you very much. tiger woods has undergone more ankle surgery to treat arthritis caused by a previous injury. woods — who's now 47 — had to pull out of the masters midway through the third round earlier this month, which he attributed to a foot injury. he now looks highly likely to miss next month's us pga championship. the masters was the fifth tournament woods has played

since a car accident in february 2021. he's completed 72 holes just twice in those five events. kyren wilson provided the highlight on day five of the world snooker championship in sheffield, with the first 147 maximum break of this year's tournament. he was taking on ryan day in the opening round — this is how wilson finished off the frame, achieving what is only the 13th 147 in the tournament's history. if no—one matches it, he stands to earn nearly 70,000 dollars in additional prize money. wilson went on to win the match 10 frames to five. he'll face four time championjohn higgins next. face time with my kids they got home from school and sophie said to me that bailey and anthony both ran out of their classes and gave her a big hug because the school was kind just to put it on for them. so

that was awesome. not such good news for last year's runner—up and 2019 championjudd trump — he's out. trump's been in poorform of late and had no answer to scotland's anthony mcgill, who won 10 frames to 6. mcgill will play his friend jack lisowski in the second round. australia have named a few surprise inclusions in their squad ahead of this summer's ashes in england. david warner will be there, despite his recent poor run of form and — for the first time in three years — mitchell marsh has been included in the 17 player squad for the first two tests. earlier our reporter jane dougall spoke to australian cricket broadcaster adam collins and began by asking, what was behind warner's inclusion? his record in england was poor, but taken as a whole, they want the experience of that over here.

i draw a distinction between the world test championship which is between australia and india before the ashes. i can see warner played that are retires or not even be left out of the ashes squad. he might play against england even though he will be here in the country. are you concerned that there is a lack of bowling depth, only for a seam is included. is that a gamble? it's definitely a departure from what they went within 2019. they had a five test matches, the idea being that they wanted but they called us squad mentality committed didn't want to exhaust their bowlers and it works pretty well. the difference this time around is a captain leading the experience of stark and hazelwood and the golden isle of scott bolin. their logic is that they need to call up a fastball or down the road, they've got morgan playing in wales. england have won their last nine of their last 11 tests. and also added to that, australia haven't won

a series since 2001. confident? the fastball revolution has been pretty special, the numbers you mentioned there, every metric you choose to point out, they have changed test cricket. we should be so lucky to have a test series that goes all the way to the wire with the australian side on paper, at least some of the best in the world, and the resurgence of the english side. i cannot think of ashes series that has been a better place since 2005. there's four days to go now until this year's london marathon. participants about now are probably winding down training and beginning to carb—load ahead of the 42 kilometre course. but what about those taking part who are observing ramadan and have to fast for up to 15 hours a day? haroon moota from "muslim runners" has been speaking to lydia campbell about his motivations behind running the marathon, while training during ramadan. i am running the london marathon. this experienced runner will be lining up in london alongside around 50,000 other people, but for muslims running

the race to the capital this year, they have had an extra challenge to contend with. training for the london marathon has been tough. it is the first time i'm having to train for a marathon during the month of fasting, but i feel really, really strong. i'm in a very positive mental state and i cannot wait to run the marathon on the 23rd of april, just one day after ramadan. ramadan is the month of fasting in islam, and adult muslims who are able will abstain from food and water during daylight hours. this year, the final month of training for the marathon has taken place during ramadan. that means getting up just after 4am and feeling your body not only for the day ahead, but for long training runs. often people think that ramadan is just about being hungry and thirsty, but to be honest, it's not. so when you think about the purpose that you are doing this as a form of obedience to god, you want to reach the end of ramadan feeling

spiritually nourished. but as well as the spiritual benefits of fasting, it can also have physical benefits. a fast of eight or more hours puts your body in what is refered to as a fasted state. training then can actually make the body more efficient. when we exercise and a fasted state, we utilise more fat for energy compared to carbohydrates. so that you can bring some potential benefits. you could potentially exercise for a bit longer using your fat stores more and sparing a glycogen from your carbohydrate stores, which we know if we deplete during the marathon, you kind of hit the wall, as it's called. exercise rates among south asians in britain are low, so another motivation for him is inspiring his community into sport. when i first started running

from i will be honest in saying it was very lonely. i would travel to different cities, running half marathons, marathons, and you could count on yourfingers, or sometimes not count at all, the number of people of ethnic minority in race participation. things have changed a lot since then, but there is so much more to do. people that would never ever dream of completing 26.2 miles to reduce it and get to the start line itself is a massive achievement. and how much that also normalises running for our communities. that is the biggest value and appreciation that i have. for him, this hasn'tjust been about running a marathon, it has been about breaking down barriers and encouraging his community to get involved in exercise during the month of ramadan. lydia campbell, bbc news. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.

hello there. high pressure is continuing to bring a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather throughout the day for most areas on thursday, but like the last few days, we've got a keen easterly wind out there. that's taking the edge off. the temperatures will be noticeably chilly along north sea coasts and there will be some rain at times and more cloud across south—east england courtesy of this weather front, which will move in off the near continent. you'll notice there's a slight blue hue to the air mass, indicating that the air is quite chilly as well. so when you factor in the strong wind and slightly cooler air, then it will be a little bit fresher across the board. however, most places starting off dry, widespread sunshine and much of the country will stay dry and sunny all day. but then we'll see that area of cloud and some splashes of rain pushing into east anglia in the south—east during the afternoon. it's here where the winds will be quite gusty as well. so with a lack of sunshine here and the gusty winds, it'll actually feel on the cool side now. now certainly cool along north sea coast, nine or ten degrees at best,

but head further inland — it's the low to mid—teens or the warmest spots again, western scotland, the high teens, maybe even more than that. and like the last few days with the dry and sunny weather, tree pollen will be high or very high for many of us. so as we head through thursday evening and overnight that area, clouds, splashes of rain in the south—east starts to migrate westwards across much of england and also wales. whereas the northern half of the country will see clearer skies, slightly lighter winds. so another chilly one here. less cold, though, where we have the cloud, the rain and also the stronger breeze. so for friday, some changes for england and wales. we've got a number of weather fronts bringing more cloud outbreaks of rain, whereas scotland, northern ireland poking out into the high pressure. we'll have yet another dry and sunny day. pretty decent temperatures for western scotland, but england and wales will see outbreaks of rain. longer spells of rain, northern england, showery in nature, i think parts of wales, central and southern england, a little bit of sunshine in between. but with more cloud and showers around, that'll impact the temperatures 10 to 13 degrees here, whereas again, another fairly warm one

for parts of scotland. but it is all change as we head into the weekend. lower pressure starts to bring more unsettled weatherfor a time. and as that low clears into the north sea, it opens the floodgates to a cold arctic northerly. so a much colder spell expected, particularly towards the end of the weekend and into next week. but you can see those temperatures beginning to fall across the north of the uk.
