whose campaign is back on track, after thrashing sporting in portugal. and we hear from track superstar, michaeljohnson, who tells how his new athletics league will be a game—changer for the sport. hello there, and welcome along to the programme, and we start with a night full of goals and high drama in the champions league, with the spotlight very much at the etihad on tuesday, for manchester city's game with feyenoord. city looked to be home and dry, 3—0 up and cruising, but the twist was to come. erling haaland was on the scoresheet twice, with ilkay gundogan putting them in the driving seat. the dutch side fought back in an action—packed second half.

three goals inside the closing 15 minutes punished pep guardiola's side, who at the very least stopped their five—game losing streak. david hancko with the crucial equaliser, but city's cracks continue to show. three episodes, and, you know, they were ours to win, what we needed, for many, many reasons, notjust in terms of qualification, or get the points to go through, yeah, the other reasons, and yes, it is already so difficult to swallow right now. so the game is good, we scored three, could have scored more, we do everything, but at the end we give away one, and afterwards we are not strong enough to do it. it is not about the run or commitment or nothing like that, but football, you have to be in certain moments do it, and right now, you know, the second goal, the second post, touched post, finished in the place where the player is there,

and the last action, jack shoots, deflection, keeper, post and go out. so in that situation everything is like that. but yes, improve, what can we do? rest one or two days and prepare anfield. not great for manchester city. a really packed evening for goals, a0 scored across the nine games, and arsenal were among the big winners on tuesday. they came away from high—fliers, sporting, with a 5—1 win to put their campaign back on track. ian dennis was in lisbon. arsenal equalling, then, their biggest away win in the champions league on their travels. mikel arteta had talked about the need for a statement victory, a statement performance, and they certainly provided it. 0h, absolutely, that was an incredible performance from arsenal, right from the first whistle they took the game to sporting. we have seen arsenal in european football this season and they have sat back and maybe try to grow into the game. that wasn't the case this

evening, they literally took the ball, stopped sporting to play, started creating chance after chance and they got buddies chance after chance and they got bodies into the sporting penalty area to get on the end. there was real intent about their performance and they were rewarded for it. in many ways, bearing in mind they came into this game without a goal in their last four successive champions league games, they made a mockery of that statistic. they did. i'm sure in that first half, you thought arsenal were the team that had started the season so well, that were top of the league having won 11 straight domestically and be flying in their own european competition, but they made a mockery of that, you're right. they played with real purpose, real confidence. having martin odegaard back in the team is huge. he dictates the tempo right from the first whistle — whether they want to keep the ball, go forward, he is the centre of it all and it was no surprise he was involved in a lot of the goals. sporting lisbon beat man city in their last home game. what do you make of the portuguese champions,

bearing in mind the start they made in the competition, and that is the end of their club record undefeated run, of something like 32 games? yes, as we are discovering with manchester city at the moment in the premier league, things do come to an end, so i've found it hard to judge sporting and say that is the end, because they had a bad night, mostly because of what arsenal did. i think all the credit needs to go to arsenal tonight, from the intent of the manager, from his demands that he said before the game, of coming and make a statement tonight. they certainly did that. it is true the result is very different but the performance and as well the disappointment we faced when we felt we played inter, i was so pleased with the result, and i knew that in that pathway, good things were going to happen in europe. in europe today, we did that and replicated, and were even more efficient in the opposition half, and very pleased because the team played with so much courage, because

they are so good. i'm watching them live, i realise how good they are. in the other big results, atletico madrid, 6—0 winners against sparta prague. atalanta hit young boys for six, too. bayer leverkusen put five past red bull salzburg. barcelona were 3—0 winners against surprise package, brest, robert lewandowski passing 100 goals in the champions league, with two on the night. wins also for ac milan, bayern munich, who heaped more pressure on struggling ps6, and inter milan. and it is inter who lead the way now, after that win over rb leipzig. theyjump above liverpool, who play on wednesday. barcelona also do, too. they're second on goal difference. atalanta, leverkusen and arsenal move up the table, too, courtesy of their big victories. monaco play on wednesday, with sporting completing the top eight. liverpool host real madrid at anfield tomorrow, and at their press conference today, manager arne slot said

that mohammed salah was not being distracted by contract talks or speculation about his future. salah told reporters at the weekend that he was "disappointed" at notbeing offered a new deal and is "probably more out than in". i don't think it distracts mo at all. maybe it brings even the best out of him, if you look at his performances until now, so, like i said already a few times, my main focus is the next game, and if we had that game, another big game is coming up, and if we have that game, itjust keeps on going. so i talk to mo about what i expect from him, like i do with all the other players. former argentina, liverpool and barcelona midfielder, javier mascherano, has been appointed head coach of major league soccer side, inter miami, which sees him reunited with lionel messi. the ao—year—old has signed a three—year contract to the end of

the 2027 mls season. the argentine won five la liga titles and two champions leagues with barcelona, alongside messi. he also made 147 appearances for argentina, the second most capped player in his country's history behind, of course, messi. arsenal defender, lotte wubben—moy, has been called up to the england squad for the friendlies against the usa and switzerland. she takes the place she takes the place of manchester united's maya le of manchester united's maya le tissier, who misses out due tissier, who misses out due to concussion protocols, to concussion protocols, following a head injury. following a head injury. and there will be a record and there will be a record crowd at the cardiff city crowd at the cardiff city stadium this friday stadium this friday for the first leg of for the first leg of the women's euro play—off final the women's euro play—off final between wales and ireland. between wales and ireland. the welsh fa have confirmed the welsh fa have confirmed that over 15,000 tickets have that over 15,000 tickets have been sold for the game. says he is not sure been sold for the game. to the subject of breakaway to the subject of breakaway leagues now, something football leagues now, something football has had its fair has had its fair challenge with. challenge with. it's a big theme in sport it's a big theme in sport at the moment, and rumours have at the moment, and rumours have been swirling around been swirling around one in rugby union. one in rugby union. reports suggest a rebel reports suggest a rebel breakaway franchise league breakaway franchise league is attempting to sign is attempting to sign up rugby's superstars, up rugby's superstars,

but the world rugby ceo but the world rugby ceo says he is not sure the model would work. i think it is hard to say whether there is money behind it. what we do know particularly in men's 15s, the calendar is incredibly congested. the idea that even with a lot of money players can suddenly break away into another competition i think is really challenging, and you have seen that reaction from players.

what i believe is the greatest selection of personalities we have seen in quite some time in their sport, and when you think about storytelling, you know, and how important that is, we've got some great athletes that are amazing personalities and have great stories to tell. on to cricket now. jacob bethell will bat at number three on his test debut in england's series opener against new zealand in christchurch on thursday. bethell, a surprise call—up, having never scored a century in senior cricket, but has impressed in the white—ball formats for england, plays in place of wicketkeeper, jordan cox, who was ruled out with a broken thumb. regular number three, 0llie pope, takes the gloves, and slides down the order to number six, with captain ben stokes at seven. a reminder of our top story before we go — big wins in the champions league for arsenal, leverkusen, atletico madrid and atalanta, and there were goals at the etihad, but not in the favour of manchester city. they were 3—0 up against feyenoord, but let that slip inside the last 15 minutes,

the dutch side coming back to draw, 3—3. city's poor form continues, they had lost five in a row, before this match. but a game where they failed to seal the points, and they slip down the standings. that's just about it from us. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello, there. storm conall was named by the dutch weather service. we won't get the really strong winds from that, but we're already seeing some rain coming into england and wales. that rain has followed what was a generally dry and sunny picture for many places on tuesday, but this is the developing storm moving

up from the south—west, bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain. the heaviest of the rain, overnight and into wednesday morning, will be in the far south—east of england. further north, there will be some rain, but no great amounts, but any more rain, given all the flooding, will not be particularly good news, and further north still, into the far north of england — scotland in particular, and northern ireland — some frost around here early on wednesday, some mist and fog patches, too, but further south, it looks pretty cloudy. the rain should've cleared wales and the south—west by the morning, and that heavy rain clearing the south—east of england by late morning. eventually, this rain does move away from lincolnshire and east anglia, where it will turn quite windy as the rain clears, and the winds will bring in a few showers along the east coast of scotland and the north—east of england. 0therwise, many northern areas seeing some sunshine. a chillier day, though, than it was on tuesday, particularly if any of that fog lingers in northern ireland. this is storm conall — it's really developing as it leaves our shores, hence the strongest of the winds are likely to be in

the netherlands, and following on from that, a ridge of high pressure will build across the uk — that's bringing light winds, clear skies, and that's pointing to a widespread frost by thursday morning. there may be some mist and fog patches around, as well, which will slowly lift. could be a little grey for a while in the south—east of england. many places, though, will be dry with some sunshine, but towards the far south—west of england and wales, a little rain coming in here, and pushing into northern ireland later on in the day. here, the winds are strengthening, lifting the temperatures somewhat, but elsewhere, where it's dry with some sunshine, it'll be another chilly day on thursday. things will change, though, towards the end of the week, that high pressure gets pushed away. a weather front may well bring some rain into the far north and west, but we'll find, with low pressure to the west of the uk, high pressure to the east, we see a southerly wind picking up, and that will lift the temperatures, as well. so, stronger winds by the end of the week and into the start of the weekend. a lot of cloud around, mind you. it won't be as cold at night, we're losing the frosty conditions, and it should be

turning mild by day, as well. bye for now.
