that was a jurgen klopp paying tribute. his life was also full of controversy.eing more thanjust a those praising him for being more than just a good footballer, commenting on his drug and alcohol problems. the government's response days of mourning as they are struggling to cope with coronavirus outbreak in argentina has also had pushback from some people there. the government is obviously making a great populist event out of this and a lot of people who have been very uncomfortable about this. let's face it, he was a magnificent player, but a disastrous example for argentine youth. he is a national hero and what he did as a sportsperson, but he is not a national example. let's speak to veronica smink live from sao paulo. i think what you are speaking about the infamous match against england really summarises what maradona was. there was a no goals were his two sides, god and the devil and one person and someone who was making a whole fuss about having scored with his hand and then on the other hand, he scores at the best quality century. many people feel that,

ahead of the game, liverpool manager jurgen klopp is under no illusions about the challenge his sideall they have done in the last two or three years, they are very settled team and difficult to play against. very special in their approach. slightly similar to leeds organisation wise. it will be a tough one. follow that on the bbc sport website and there's commentary of manchester city against 0lympiakos from the five live team. eight o'clock for that one. we'll have more for you in sportsday at half past six. for now, that is all for me. john watson, have a lovely evening. earl spencer has made further allegations of the bbc news underhand tact to secure the famous panorama back in 1995, about her failing millage to prince charles. —— failing marriage. the bbc says it's already apologised following previous allegations and will investigate substantive new information if there is any. he is currently ill with complications with coronavirus. the police watchdog says an investigation into for office ogres the watchdog says there is an indication the officers may have committed miscondu

jurgen klopp, pep guardiola and 0le gunnar solskjaer were all unhappy with the scheduling over the weekendp weekend where plenty of non—league sides upset more glamourous opponents, there was one more giant killing in last night‘s final tie of the first round. oxford city, of the national league south, came from behind to win 2—1 against northampton town, who are three tiers above them in league one. 0xford‘s reward is a second round tie against another league one side shrewsbury. the boys have been working hard, they all havejob, the boys have been working hard, they all have job, they have to work, they all came here after working today, so it is a huge credit to them and their attitude and their willingness to do the work. the boys worked their socks off. were such a strong collective group, it is exactly what they have been doing all season and working really ha rd been doing all season and working really hard together so we are very proud of them. absolutely. absolutely. edinburgh had to overcome their opponents and thick fog at murrayfield to get their first home win of the season in

jurgen klopp's side, still remain top of the group, but now need one win, from their final two gamescored the goal, the first one, in a space which we knew they tried to use. we couldn't defend it in that moment. so they score the first one, the second one in a similar manner. and we didn't create. so that's it. we had good, betterfootball moments them, but not good enough. if you don't have a shot on target, that's never a good sign. it was a better night for manchester city, are into the knockout phase with two games to spare — phil foden scoring the only goal away at 0lympiakos. christian malcolm, who was named the first black head coach, of uk athletics in september, says he got the job on merit. malcolm is a former world, european and commonwealth games medallist, and since retiring he's had coaching roles, with the successful british relay squads, as well as working with the uk paralympic team, and disability wales. it's not about being the first black coach for me, it's just about being in the role i am as head coach and being good enough to do the job, regardless of my skin c

they've done that really well. jurgen klopp says more should have been done to help diego maradona.e a world—class footballer and how difficult it can be as well. football will miss him, i will miss him and you can see the reactions all over the world, if we would have shown our love to him, without wanting to have a selfie, just if we had shown him the respect he deserves while he was still alive, i think year, we could have helped him. and just to mark your card, there's live football on bbc two later with tranmere rovers against brackley town in the second round of the fa cup. kick—off is at 7.55. the prize is a potential tie against one of the big clubs, who come in at the next round. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in the next hour. let's get more on the prime minister defending putting millions of people into high coronavirus tiers next week, after conservative mps criticise the restrictions for not being more locally targeted. some tory mps are threatening to vote against the measures in the house of commons next tuesday. but our political correspondent,

liverpool are top of the premier league but it's jurgen klopp's frustration in a postmatch interviewry in the match, klopp's irritation boiled over having repeatedly spoken out against champions league clubs being made to play in the saturday lunchtime kick off, as it doesnt give players enough rest after playing on a wednesday. i'm obviously silly enough to fall in that trap, now he has the headlines he wanted, and, but actually, it's like it is, chorley pulled off the biggest win in their 137—year history by knocking peterborough out of the fa cup to reach the third round for the first time. having already beaten wigan, they came from behind to stun the league one side, 89 places above them, to take their place in monday's draw — when the premier league sidesjoin. a great moment for their manager jamie vermiglio, who's a primary school teacher by day. and what a moment for the players. and having developed a tradition of celebrating with a rousing rendition of adele they didn't let the side down last night. singing: it isn't over. never mind, i'll find someone like you... perhaps m

we'll be hearing from the liverpool boss jurgen klopp on fans returning later this afternoon, and inthat the scientists and the doctors have decided what is the best for everyone. we are a lucky profession in the fact that we can do ourjob but we are waiting for the fans to come back, of course. guardiola was speaking ahead of their champions league match tomorrow. chelsea play this evening. it's a 17:55 kick—off. they can qualify for the last 16 if they beat rennes in france, and the other result in their group goes their way. they beat the french side 3—0 at stamford bridge earlier this month. frank lampard's side are unbeaten so far with seven points at the halfway stage. he knows how useful it would be to qualify with two games to spare. i've just looked at the schedule through december and it is brutal. we are doing a job that we love and we want to play regularly, but some of the games particularly around christmas at the moment, i hope it changes. it's a bit tighter in manchester united's group, they are top but only with six points after losing in istanbul to bashak—sheheer a

jurgen klopp says liverpool might struggle to end the season with 11 players, unless broadcasters talk—0 win over leicester, which broke the record for the number of league games unbeaten at home, they're up to 64 now. diogojota got his eighth goal for the club since he joined in september. jota is competing with roberto firmino for a place in the starting line up and firmino responded by getting the third. congratulations. we were happy and relieved, and we deserved it so much. we played a super game. it was so important tonight and you could see it in the face of players when he scored, everybody thought, yes, exactly the right goal—scorer. leeds and arsenal played out a goalless draw, the main talking point was this — arsenal's nicholas pepe sent off for a headbutt. it's fair to say his manager has given him some feedback. it is unacceptable. that's it. have you had a chance to speak to nicholas in the dressing room yet? what kind of reaction did you get? it's unacceptable. at this level, you cannot do it. do you feel he let down his team—mates? it's unacceptable. england striker do
