against fiorentina, so have a 2—1 lead to protect in switzerland. and west ham are in a similar position in terms of scoreline, but must defend their 2—1 advantage against az alkmaar tonight in the netherlands, with the final in prague on the line as they attempt to go one better than last season's run to the semis in the europa league. since i knew that it was an prog in the beginning of the season, taught the beginning of the season, taught the guys that we need to go there because it is my house and and special motivation for me to get there because i know the stadium very well and i came there in year ten and it is a very special motivation. it went by a different name then, but west ham's european history is very much embedded in uefa's third competition. the cup winners cup provided their only major continental trophy,

that was in 1965 and their most recent european final in 1976. so, what chance they could match that this year. commentary from alkmaar on radio 5live will be provided by alistair bruce ball and neil lennon no getting away from it and it's a huge game in this occasion was tim united and the chance to give them a major european finals for the first time in half a century. the former celtic manager will be alongside me for commentary and bbc london tonight, you've managed plenty of these games and in these occasions. west ham of the 2—1 lead in the could be a bit cagey with that, little bit defensive.— little bit defensive. is, i think they would — little bit defensive. is, i think they would dominate - little bit defensive. is, i think- they would dominate possessions and they would dominate possessions and the staff_ they would dominate possessions and the staff will be aware of that and it is all— the staff will be aware of that and it is all about getting in their

themselves we are not looking too far ahead, i think it is small steps in the next game and trying to get against a really tough opponent and that's all we can do, we cannot look beyond look at other teams and fixtures and external factors, we just have to look very much internally. and this is as a sub, early tactical game and i think it's going to be really intriguing battle and hopefully, we can show our best. we intriguing battle and hopefully, we can show our best.— can show our best. we have to be read . can show our best. we have to be ready- because — can show our best. we have to be ready. because we _ can show our best. we have to be ready. because we are _ can show our best. we have to be ready. because we are fighting i can show our best. we have to be| ready. because we are fighting for can show our best. we have to be i ready. because we are fighting for a bil ready. because we are fighting for a big result _ ready. because we are fighting for a big result and we want to reach our target, _ big result and we want to reach our target, our— big result and we want to reach our target, our destiny and our future but, _ target, our destiny and our future but. we _ target, our destiny and our future but, we know the ways longer and it is still— but, we know the ways longer and it is still difficult.

here are the best of them. on liverpool bossjurgen klopp has been given a two match touchline ban — and a fine of £75,000. over comments following his side's lt—3 win over tottenham last month. the first match of the ban is effective immediately — meaning he'll miss the club's last home game of the season against aston villa. the second is suspended until the end of next season. klopp admitted his comments about the referee during post—match media interviews did constitute improper conduct — and brought the game into disrepute. chelsea captain magdalena eriksson will leave the club at the end of the season, along with midfielder pernille harder. eriksson has won four women's super league titles since arriving at kingsmeadow in 2017. harder is aiming for a third wsl trophy afterjoining chelsea in 2020 from bundesliga side wolfsburg.

rafa nadal won't play at the french open this month, and has revealed he intends to retire in 202a. a hip injury has prevented him appearing at roland garros, which he'll miss for the first time in his career. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is here. to matters immediate to start with, this is an injury that has plagued him most of the year, recovering in order to play one more year. the latest in a series of fairly nasty injuries and some of them chronic injuries which he says have left them in too much pain over the past two or three years but his hip problem which initially was diagnosed as a problem that will probably require weeks on the sidelines but it has confounded the medics and he pulled out of his tournament and places like monte carlo and barcelona and rome in the madrid and now also the french open and is not going to play at wimbledon, he hopes to be back on court later this year and the goal is to have a break, hope his hip problem can resolve itself and for

his own quality of life and personal happiness but also so that he can be competitive again and play is flu seasonis competitive again and play is flu season is possible and it seems very much as if that is going to be the farewell tour. mr; much as if that is going to be the farewell tour.— farewell tour. my idea and motivation _ farewell tour. my idea and motivation is _ farewell tour. my idea and motivation is to _ farewell tour. my idea and motivation is to say - farewell tour. my idea and i motivation is to say goodbye farewell tour. my idea and - motivation is to say goodbye of all that i_ motivation is to say goodbye of all that i have — motivation is to say goodbye of all that i have been a part of an important _ that i have been a part of an important for me. and to strain to enjoy— important for me. and to strain to enjoy that — important for me. and to strain to enjoy that being competitive and enjoying — enjoy that being competitive and enjoying that today is not possible. i enjoying that today is not possible. i really _ enjoying that today is not possible. i really believe if i keep going now. — i really believe if i keep going now. i— i really believe if i keep going now, i will be able to make that happen — now, i will be able to make that ha en. �* ., now, i will be able to make that hauen.�* ., ,,, , now, i will be able to make that hauen.�* ., ,, now, i will be able to make that hauen. ., ,, ., now, i will be able to make that hauen,�* ., ,, ., ., happen. among sports people who have eve stellar happen. among sports people who have every stellar careers _ happen. among sports people who have every stellar careers make _ happen. among sports people who have every stellar careers make their- happen. among sports people who have every stellar careers make their own - every stellar careers make their own decisions about when to retire and when you can have a year to say goodbye to all those people who have supported you in all those countries in which you have played after 22 grand slam titles, roughly on the

goodbye. hello there. full uk forecast in a moment. but, we're going to start off with what's going on in italy where we've seen some extreme rain over recent days thanks to storm minerva. this is one of the major roads heading into bologna, the capital of emilia romano region, which has been really badly hit. but i fear there's further extreme rainfall on the way. this time affecting the north—west of italy, where over the next few days we could see around 200 or 300 millimetres of rain, particularly centred around the piedmont region, is likely to lead to further severe flooding and further landslides, as well. now, italy seen more than its fair share of extreme rainfall. this next one will be the third lot of extreme rain in the space of three weeks. and it follows an extreme drought that we had last year when a state of emergency was declared. now, as our planet warms up, we expect to see extreme weather events become more frequent. and this lot for italy,

certainly fits that bill. meanwhile, here in the uk, well, we've got a weather front slowly pushing into an area of high pressure. as it does so, the front�*s very weak, but bringing a little bit of rain across scotland and northern ireland as it has been through the day on thursday. and eventually we'll start to see better damp weather getting into northern england, north wales as well. temperatures overnight about 8 to 10 degrees. now tomorrow, brighterskies for scotland and northern ireland. given more sunshine here, it should feel even a bit warmer temperatures, high teens. but across england and wales, that weak weather front still capable of bringing a few areas of mostly light rain, temperatures reaching the high teens.

so for most of us, it's going to feel quite pleasant if you're outside. what about the weekend? well, that nasty storm system, storm nino i was talking about — here it is on the pressure chart that's actually going to start to affect our parts of the world as we develop these easterly winds. and that will actually bring some slightly milder air in across england and wales. it will boost our temperatures for scotland. and northern ireland, though, got another weak weatherfront edging in. and although the skies will be bright, often there'll be a bit of patchy rain around. so some damp weather at times. i think best sums the weather picture up. on in sunday again, it's north western areas that will have the thickest cloud, but still some hazy spells of sunshine quite likely to get through that. england and wales fine with some sunshine. and like saturday, temperatures reaching the high teens to low 20s, feeling pleasant in those sunnier moments. bye for now.
