yes, jurgen klopp is at the front of centre of it, and he has to take it on.o this year's tournament. both sides have won all four of their matches with bonus points, england ahead only on points difference. but they are on one heck of a run at the moment. jo currie is in bayonne for us. so it's the night before le crunch, and just like last year, this women's six nations title is going to come all down to this fixture between france and england, with both sides coming into tomorrow's game unbeaten. now, it may be relatively quiet here at the moment, although you might be able to hear the mowers just giving the pitch a final once over, but tomorrow this place is going to be absolutely rocking. it's a sell—out crowd. 12,000 fans are expected to turn up. not many of them are expected to be english. and as the england lock abby ward says, they are prepared for the noise, they are prepared for the atmosphere and theyjust can't wait to get going. it is the most brilliantly brutal atmosphere will ever be involved in. i love it. the you know, the games, they love to

let's hearfrom jurgen klopp and pep guardiola. absolutely proud.tuff. we played an incredible game in the first half. i loved every second of it. and, yes, it is so difficult to win against them but because these boys, in my dressing room, we have a chance, and that is enough for me to give it a try. to the premier league, where a hat trick from cristiano ronaldo helped manchester united scrape past bottom side norwich city, with a 3—2 win which intensifies the battle for the final champions league spot. united went 2—0 ahead at old trafford but were pegged back to 2—2 by strugglers, norwich, before a ronaldo free kick gave united all three points. united are in fifth place in the table. arsenal could have moved level on points with rivals tottenham, who lost to brighton earlier, but they were beaten 1—0 by southampton. that's a third defeat in a row for arsenal, while brentford beat watford 2—1 for their third successive win. watford are in 19th place, six points adrift of safety. in italy's serie a this saturdayjuventus drew 1—1 with nine—man bol

jurgen klopp say they are capable of causing problems.t we now know will be against villareal. the northern ireland women's football manager, kenny shiels, has today issued an apology over his comments following their 5—0 loss to england. shiels said girls and women were, in his words, "more emotional" than men, and don't take to conceding a goal well. the comments overshadowed what was meant to be an occasion to celebrate, given the record turnout at windsor park for a women's match. have a listen to what shiels said after the match. i'm sure if you go through the patterns, when a team —— a team concedes a goal, they can see the second one within a very short period of time. white through the whole spectrum of the women's game, because women are more emotional than men, so they take a goal and they don't take that very well. you see teams conceding goals and 18 and 21 minutes, and then 64 and 68 minutes. because that's an emotional goal. in a statement issued earlier today, shiels said... well, despite the apology, its left many consider

it was a match that liverpool boss jurgen klopp felt was tough at times, with the side not quite at theirlowing the time off. we could have done better, definitely. but, after being two weeks nearly not together and things like this and the early kick—off, it is really tricky, it is tricky. all teams have the same problems, but also after the international break, it was not the best game of the season. it was all fine, very controlled and that is what we wanted. ()elsewhere, christian eriksen�*s remarkable return to football keeps getting better and better — as brentford caused a huge shock at stamford bridge. he scored his first goalfor the club — as brentford ran out 4—1 winners. antonio rudiger had given chelsea the lead — before brentford scored three times in ten minutes. eriksen�*s goal coming inbetween two strikes from vitaly janelt. yoane wissa scored brentford's fourth late on to complete a memorable afternoon for thomas frank's side. sometimes you need some key players could lift the other players both by playing good, but also just pressing and christian does that. he is a very

jurgen klopp may not be looking quite so relaxed later. in villareal they face a formidable foe.ague champions knocked out bayern munich in the last round. both side's face a tall order to match the drama of wednesday night as manchester city beat real madrid 4—3. but the liverpool boss is cherishing the opportunity of making a third champions league final in five season. this is absolutely special to be part of the semifinal, it's crazy, it's crazy, really. it's a massive game. so many coaches, so many players out there try and work their socks off their whole life and have no chance to be close to a semifinal. we are there so we have to cherish it, we have to appreciate it, of course, but we have to enjoy it as well. ronnie o'sullivan has moved a step closer to equalling a world snooker championship record. he's the first man into the semi—finals at the crucible,after comfortably beating scotland's stephen maguire13—5. if o'sullivan wins the title it'll be his seventh, which will take him level with stephen hendry as the most successful player in the tournament's history. o'sul

so liverpool keep winning as they have to do to maintain their title hopes — jurgen klopp was understandablyed all three points after the match. i saw a top—class game, to be honest. it was not onlyjob done, it was in extremely difficult circumstances playing this kind of football... i think it's really special, to be honest. and that's why i'm really, really happy. you want to win football games. in the best case scenario, you deserve to win them. and we did today, 100%. against a team in form, in their stadium, great atmosphere. that's really special and not onlyjob done. i think liverpool were probably not at their best today, but i don't think we were at our best either. and i think whenever you play these games you have to be. i thought we competed well, we fought for everything, but just missed that quality that could have got the goal. i don't think we hit our top levels individually, but we played right to the end. there are positives to take from it but we set our standards very high and i'm quite disappointed with the general performance. next week we will do much better. it's been

jurgen klopp's side trailed manchester city by 14 points in mid—january, but a tenth straight league0th goal of the season and a late penalty from fabinho secured the points. the two teams meet each other on the 10th of april. we could have done better, definitely, but after being two weeks nearly not together and the early kick—off, it's really tricky. but all teams have the same problems. i don't think i ever saw after an international break the best game of the season. it was fine, very controlled and that's what we wanted. elsewhere, christian eriksen's remarkable return to football keeps getting more and more impressive — as his club brentford caused a huge shock at stamford bridge. eriksen scored his first goal for them, as brentford finished 4—1winners over chelsea. in germany, champions league—chasing freiburg lost to league leaders bayern munich 4—1. bayer leverkusen beat hertha berlin 2—1. borussia dortmund were thrashed 4—1 at home to rb leipzig. australia women are the favourites going into the cricket world cup final against england, but their captain meg lanning is well

jurgen klopp's side are the big favourites to progress and, with the league cup already won, they have an unprecedented quadruple. but the manager is not getting carried away. one failure, one wrong step and this one competition could be gone, so we have to make sure. it is no problem for us, by the way, because we don't feel that well about the situation, we don't feel that great, we just feel ready for the next challenge and that is all i need, but there is no big celebration over the development of the club over the last three years. it is just really serious work and i am very, very happy about that. very happy about that. meanwhile, manchester city, who are on the hunt for their first champions league title, are at home to atletico madrid and the premier league leaders know they are in for a tough match at the etihad. we don't know what to expect. we don't know if they will try to press high, go low and wait for us. we know that whenever they try and press us they will be very aggressive, they won't give us much space and it will be very tight, so definitely not an open game, that

but two goals in the space of two minutes after half time, including one to sadio mane, handed jurgen klopp's it will be a tricky atmosphere for us, obviously different, difficult tonight. these players we saw tonight, they fight for it is all they have. what i liked was people could see we fight with it with all we have, and it is always the same. if they beat us, it brings them to the final and they deserve it, and if not, then we deserve it. that's how competition is. the europa league semifinal first legs will be played later on thursday. scottish champions rangers are in germany to face rb leipzig, while west ham also take on german opponents, when they host eintracht frankfurt, who dispatched barcelona in the last round. it's a great game. we're hugely excited — it's a great game. we're hugely excited by it, the thrill of being _ excited by it, the thrill of being in— excited by it, the thrill of being in europe last year was great, — being in europe last year was great, qualifying. if you had said— great, qualifying. if you had said to— great, qualifying. if you had said to us at the e
