hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre. we'll start with the sad news from the world of football that 1990 world cup hero salvatore "toto" schillaci has died at the age of 59. the italian scored six goals to win the golden boot at the world cup. italy lost in the semifinals on home soil, but schillaci was also awarded the golden ball as the best player and gained hero status. he was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2022. domestically schillaci helped juventus to claim the coppa italia and uefa cup in 1990 before winning the latter trophy again four years later

with inter milan. serie a described him as "a champion who lit up the magical nights of the 1990 world cup in italy". harry kane says he keeps every match ball when he scores a hat—trick, so he now has 2a of them at home after starting bayern munich's champions league campaign with four goals in their 9—2 demolition of dinamo zagreb. kane scored three times from the penalty spot, making him the first player to do that in a champions legaue match. his four strikes mean he's now the top english goalscorer in champions league history too. and the big win was big moment for head coach vincent kompany, with some bayern fans questioning whether the former burnley boss had what it took to succeed in europe's elite football competition. the defending champions, real madrid, weren't as convincing in their opening match. with eight minutes to play, they were being held at 1—1 by german side stuttgart after deniz undav had cancelled

out kylian mbappe's opener. but a headerfrom antonio rudiger saw real retake the lead, with endrick wrapping up the match in stoppage time. ruddiger says their slow start wasn't about the players losing hunger. it's not about hunger, because you are at real madrid, you always have to be hungry. if you are not, the president will knock on the door and we have a problem. it's not about that, but the team needs to find each other because we lost a very important player with tony cruz, and this is not easy to compensate, so we are trying to find ourselves and i'm sure we will do better. elsewhere, liverpool began with a 3—1win at ac milan. it was the same scoreline in turin as juventus comfortably beat psg. aston villa's return to top european competition for the first time in 41 years saw them win 3—0 at swiss side young boys.

meanwhile, lille and england midfielder angel gomes was sent off as the french side were beaten 2—0 at sporting. manchester united boss erik ten hag described their 7—0 win over barnsley as the "perfect night" for his team. they were the biggest winners as the third round of the league cup got underway on tuesday. premier league sides brentford, southampton and crystal palace also progressed. but fulham were knocked out after the longest penalty shootout in the competition's history. after 3a spot—kicks, it was preston north end of the championship who went through 16—15. manchester city begin their champions league campaign later when italian champions inter milan visit the etihad. midfielder rodri says players are close to going on strike in protest due to the increase in games. along with the larger champions league, city will play in the expanded club world cup next year. rodri has sympathy from former city keeperjoe hart.

he's just saying that, at some point, they will have to stand up point, they will have to stand up for themselves. because they are answering questions, it is are answering questions, it is a lot of football and when you're in the game and so focused on winning and being your best everyday, the format doesn't really allow for that. at the moment, i have no doubt it looks daunting. if you put it looks daunting. if you put it on paper and you see, i will ask you to play six to five games and play for your country this season, you will say no. your body cannot withstand that. i'm sure that, from what i know, people are trying to look at welfare. it's notjust the money men at the top or the tv channels saying, we don't care, get on that pitch and entertainers, so there's plenty more things going on in the background. roma have sacked manager daniele de rossi just four games into the new serie a season. de rossi's appointment injanuary initially led to an upturn in fortunes, with roma climbing the table to qualify for the europa league. but this season they've failed to win and sit 16th in the table.

six—time 0lympic medallist laura kenny has called on the commonwealth games organisers to prioritise non—0lympic sports when the games come to glasgow in 2026. the scottish city will host a scaled—back edition of the games after taking over from the australian state of victoria. as few as ten sports could make the cut. ijust hope i just hope that they take into consideration non—0lympic sports, because the commonwealth meek for the likes of netball are the only life they really get shone on them. i hope it is done in a way that is fair, i guess. the olympics is fair, i guess. the olympics is huge and that is where lots of people will watch, but ultimately the commonwealth games for a lot of these sports is there 0lympics. and that's all the sport for now. more now on our main story this hour —

the pager explosions in lebanon on tuesday, in which 12 people are known to have died. we don't know who was behind the attack, has pullar lames israel, but we have not had any comment from israel. the us said they were not given any prior warning to this. as souness we have any more updates on this story, we will bring to you. we do have a live page with more updates. we are receiving more details when it comes to the casualties. we have learned in the past hour that 12 people were killed, including two children, 18 years old, and one 11 years old. we will get more details on this as us secretary of state is expected to make

20s, and unfortunately the damage is not limited only to the eyes. some of them have intracranial damage, damage to their brain, facial damage, whether to the nose, mouth, ears. unfortunately, most of them, they lost at least one of their hands. definitely, it is long and painful, because first, at least if we could save one of the eyes, this is already an achievement. unfortunately, like i said, some of the patients, we had to remove both eyes. it kills me. as i said previously, in my past 25 years of practice, i have never removed as many eyes as i did yesterday. asi as i mentioned, the us secretary of state is meeting with the egyptian foreign
