it would be a fifth title for them in six seasons, and the first of the three wins they need for a famous treble after reaching the champions league final this week. so how does pep guardiola feel about wrapping it up this weekend. well he was asked that this afternoon. guardiola also said he doesn't intend to watch arsenal's game the most difficult thing at the end, you know of the is to serve in the last, it's the most difficult one. and yeah, on sunday, the game is now to win the most important competition and so, it's the most important competition and so, it's most important because every week and every week and having the chance to finish at home, we have to take it. ., , �* ., ., .

want to call it a challenge. one thing is that we will do everything we can and support him and beware of the mental health and it and we've made mistakes and we need to be there and want to be there to help them we just need to know what we are allowed to do. �*a night to reflect on with shame' — the apology issued by dutch side az alkmaar to west ham and supporters caught up in the ugly scenes which marred their europa conference league semi—final tie. west ham players confronted a group of the dutch team's fans — who attacked an area where friends and family of the west ham players were sitting. az say they will work with police, to identify supporters involved — and what needs to improve. it took the edge off the hammers win — securing a place in their first european final since 1976. very few things stir the emotions in football like a big comeback.

we've been treated to a few memorable ones in recent years, barcelona overcame a a—goal deficit to beat psg in the champions league in 2017, while they were on the end of liverpool's famous anfield fightback in the semi finals of the same competition two years later. sometimes it happens in the space ofjust one game, newcastle were 4—0 down to arsenal in the premier league in 2011. it finished 4—4. well to this list you can now add a historic night at hillsborough. where sheffield wednesday started the second leg of their league one playoff semi final 4—0 down to peterborough. they won 5—1 after extra time. and then the penalty shoot—out that followed. for the with the biggest comeback in efl playoff history. and he has done it! yes! should have filled when stanley cup! it is simply unbelievable! the impossible yes! the fans invade the pitch! will

background whip up a caller to be made onjones role in at 37, the same influence that he once was when captaining the lions in the test team and the whales testing for so long, probably not at his age and maybe haven't spoken to the coaches, there is no guarantees about the selection and the prospect of a grueling training camp, some warm—up games may be not making the world cup squad, that prospect could been a step too far even for alunjones. just a way for the news and confirmation but even though it is telling, announcing the retirement statement and conversations with the welsh coaches in management and may be a similar story, a young family, and even though at 43 you thought he might have a year or two, if not more left in him but perhaps the mental and physical toll that is put on a rugby player, especially in a physical position lake is on the

open side flank meant that he has decided now is the right time to step away from the international game. both will be missed, but the legends of the game in modern day crates and forjones, it does bring the curtain down on one of the greatest careers in rugby union history. greatest careers in rugby union histo . �* greatest careers in rugby union histo . . ., ., �*, history. and for european's football is big weekend. _ history. and for european's football is big weekend, for— history. and for european's football is big weekend, for the _ history. and for european's football is big weekend, for the european i is big weekend, for the european challenge cup finals, what chance does glasgow have picking up a trophy this evening? the does glasgow have picking up a trophy this evening? the numbers of fans are fantastic _ trophy this evening? the numbers of fans are fantastic atmosphere - trophy this evening? the numbers of fans are fantastic atmosphere over i fans are fantastic atmosphere over my shoulder here on the outside of the stadium, the glasgow fans mingling and exchanging pleasantries are a little bit more competitive than that but it is a fantastic atmosphere where an opportunity for glasgow, they've never been any european final they deserve to be here, fantastic victory for the semifinals and a lot of scottish sides and the know—how to win for big games but they're up against a star—studded side and they mentioned

wells rugby and welsh parades, number ten and wells rugby and welsh parades, numberten and an wells rugby and welsh parades, number ten and an all—time great who was also calling time on his career. perhaps that is the theme of the day, great stepping away from the rugby scene and hopefully sign of his stellar career with the challenge cup trophy. it will be good tonight. you're watching sportsday. time for a quick look at some of our other stories this evening. wigan athletic will begin their league one season with four points deducted, after failing to pay its players' wages on time, as well as further previous breaches of efl regulations. the sanction takes effect from next season, with the club recieving an additional four—point deduction for the same season, which is to be suspended until the middle of next year former england captain michael vaughan is to return to the bbc�*s cricket coverage this summer. vaughan has worked as a pundit since 2009 but stepped back after he was accused of using racist language towards former team—mate azeem rafiq during their time at yorkshire. he denied the allegation and was cleared by the cricket

after the riders voted to invoke an extreme weather protocol. this meant the route was reduced to just 46 miles. so, it was short but just as entertaining. as nick parrott reports. thomas should have been facing 129 miles on stage 13 but the british writer and the rest of the palatine spent two thirds of that distance on their team buses. they left the rain behind in italy but as we got under way and the hardest climb of the race so far, temperatures dropped and summers and summers and far away but in switzerland, was more like a winter wonderland. but in switzerland, was more like a winterwonderland. some but in switzerland, was more like a winter wonderland. some are happy to go off but that was last in the writers wanted to do is they carefully make the decision. there was an intense battle. riding on passion and emotion, sometimes that gets the better of the frenchman. he argued repeatedly with them as they fought for the lead but behind them, rubio was keeping his powder dry.

the colombian timing his final attack to perfection to pass them both for his grand tour stage victory. thomas finished ninth to retain his two second lead. the crowd might be very much in favour of one of them put both boxers have put the same amount for the big fight in dublin tomorrow night. katie taylor and chantelle chairman are undisputed champions in this represents the first pro title fight on home soil by both her and her opponent would need to be cool heads in a hot kitchen. it will make all the set piece media events have happened in the been very respectful all week, no shenanigans legacy and the lead up to a majorfight, the shenanigans legacy and the lead up to a major fight, the stair was very long and neither wanted to bring first and alongside me is first off michaela, what did you make of the atmosphere here? i knew it would be,

she didn't care her name to be first, she can walk for us. it's a shows to sell game cameron is not bad she wanted this fight. by, big bad she wanted this fight. a big ni . ht for bad she wanted this fight. a big night for both _ bad she wanted this fight. a big night for both of— bad she wanted this fight. a big night for both of them, - bad she wanted this fight. a big night for both of them, what you think wins?— think wins? you don't know the answer off— think wins? you don't know the answer off the _ think wins? you don't know the answer off the top _ think wins? you don't know the answer off the top of _ think wins? you don't know the answer off the top of the - answer off the top of the head, that's why love this fight so much. it's hard to go against katie. she knows how to steal those rounds, she knows how to steal those rounds, she knows how to win and she's got ireland behind her this time. isee taylor taking the first half of the fight, cameron's going to keep the pressure on a really pressure more than touches of oppression anybody and hopefully it's enough to get the decision but, we will see. by, big decision but, we will see. a big niuht decision but, we will see. a big ni . ht for decision but, we will see. a big night for ireland, _ decision but, we will see. a big night for ireland, a _ decision but, we will see. a big night for ireland, a huge - decision but, we will see. a big night for ireland, a huge nightl decision but, we will see. a big night for ireland, a huge night for ireland, a huge nefertiti taylor and the second fighter in the modern era to be a modern champion into different weight divisions. referred of bad light stopping the cricket but never a hot air balloon. that is

exactly the moment the side day in under ten match in sussex. chilling under ten match in sussex. chilling under ten match in sussex. chilling under ten were black youth under tens when the strange interaction happened and we talk about village cricket being serene and calm and the interruption seemed to come in at a rather pleasant pace. balloon stops play in the cricket. let's hope nothing gets in the way of your supporting entertainment as we can. titles can be one not only in the premier league but also the women super week. premier league but also the women superweek. much premier league but also the women super week. much more on a website and coverage across the bbc in a very exciting sporting weekend, that is often sports day. goodbye for now. hello. some parts of england and wales had some hefty downpours

to contend with today. but over the weekend, actually, it's england and wales that will see the lion's share of the dry and sunny weather. and the sun is strong at this time of year. a little bit different for scotland and northern ireland here. there will be more in the way of cloud and a little bit of rain at times, probably not a huge amount. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see this area of cloud in the west of the uk that turned the sunshine quite hazy. this was mainly high level cloud, a few blobs of shower cloud across central and southern parts. some of those showers continuing to drift. west was actually through the evening into wales, south—west, england then dying away. but overnight we will see cloud and some splashes of rain getting in across northern ireland and parts of scotland. temperatures generally between six and 11 degrees. it mayjust get a little bit chillier than that in some parts of eastern england. tomorrow morning, across england and wales, a little bit of mist and low cloud, but that will clear quickly and then a lot of sunshine, just a touch of patchy cloud down towards the south. northern ireland and scotland will see more in the way of clouds, some splashes of rain, but probably not a huge amount.

a little bit of sunshine perhaps in north—east scotland that'll make it feel warm. highest temperatures further south, 19, maybe 20 degrees for liverpool and for cardiff. but whatever the temperatures say on the thermometer, if you have sunshine overhead and england and wales particularly will many places will have high uv levels. so protect yourself if you're out for any length of time. during saturday night, this frontal system will pep up a little bit. so the rain across northern ireland and scotland will turn heavier, but only briefly into sunday. actually that rain will tend to ease off once again. still a lot of clouds, still a bit of dampness here and there. whereas for england and wales, quite a lot of sunshine, just a bit of patchy cloud here and there. a feed of winds in the north sea making it feel a little bit cooler for some eastern coast, but further west liverpool, up to 20 degrees. it will be a slightly cooler day in northern scotland. now into next week, this area of high pressure will dominate sitting to the south—west of us. broadly speaking, that will block the progress of any weather systems. there may be a little bit of rain

at times in the north of the uk, particularly the north of scotland. but for most of us it is looking largely dry, patchy cloud and sunny spells. and while there won't be a heat wave, it'll feel pleasant in the sunshine.
