Champions League: Liverpool reach quarter-finals to make it four English sides at this stage for first time in a decade
For the first time since 2009, the Champions League will have four teams from England competing at the quarter-final stage.In one of the finest performances by a Premier League side on foreign soil, Liverpool beat Bayern Munich 3-1 in Germany, courtesy of a Sadio Mane brace and a first goal in Europe for Virgil van Dijk.Mane scored twice for LiverpoolGETTY4
Mane scored twice for Liverpool
Victory meant they were the last English side to reach the last 16, joining Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United.So does this mean a resurgence of English dominance among Europe’s elite?Well it certainly kindled memories from a decade earlier, back when England had provided four quarter-finalists for two successive seasons.The 00’s was England’s most prominent spell in the competition and is best reflected in the period between 2005 to 2009, when at least one English side had contested a final.Liverpool faced Arsenal in the 2008 quarter-final4

Liverpool famously toppled the mighty AC Milan after being three goals down, while Man United prevailed against Chelsea in a penalty shoot-out in 2008,The Red Devils ultimately fell to a Lionel Messi-inspired Barcelona in the final in Rome following season.The 07/08 quarter-finals pitted Arsenal against Liverpool in two thrilling matches, with the latter progressing, while Manchester United and Chelsea beat Roma and Fenerbahe respectively.Chelsea won a thrilling match against Liverpool a year later4

A year later and the same four sides would once again reach the same stage.Liverpool faced Chelsea and the Blues emerged victorious in one of the greatest matches in Champions League history, drawing the second-leg 4-4, but winning 7-5 on aggregate.Man United saw off Porto and Arsenal convincingly won 4-1 overall against Villarreal.In the years that followed, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United and Man City have reached the quarter-finals, while Leicester, on the back of their remarkable Premier League success, also advanced to the last 16 in 2017, where they were eliminated by Atletico Madrid.Leicester reached the quarter-final in 20174

Liverpool will hope to go one better than last season, when they were beaten in the final by Real Madrid, but the latter are no longer in the tournament, their hopes of retaining their trophy for a fourth consecutive season, dashed by Ajax.However, Barcelona and Juventus, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo remain.It won’t be easy, but this could very well be the season an English club lifts the Champions League for the first time since Chelsea in 2012.

We are lucky people that we feel the trust from the people above us.“It means you have time to settle your ideas and principle.

However, goals from Willy Boly, Raul Jiminez and Helder Costa secured all three points for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.The defeat, coupled with Liverpool’s thrashing of Arsenal, means Spurs are nine points off the Premier League leaders – a week after critics claimed they were in the hunt for the title.However Pochettino admitted fatigue has placed a massive stain on his squad.“I think it was in the last 20 minutes, Pochettino said.

Mick McCarthy: Republic of Ireland boss admits his side avoided their ‘worst result in a long, long time’ against Gibraltar
Mick McCarthy has admitted his Republic of Ireland side avoided their ‘worst result in a long, long time’ as they scraped past Gibraltar in his first game back as manager on Saturday.Jeff Hendrick’s first-half strike ensured the Republic started their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign in the best possible fashion, but it was a laboured display from the Irish on the Iberian Peninsula.And McCarthy, who previously captained the nation during his playing days, says he was just happy to come away from a ‘horrible’ game with all three points.McCarthy’s second debut as Ireland manager was not a match for the neutrals3

Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT, he said: “It was great to be back, but the game was horrible.“We were playing on a plastic pitch to start with. “I don’t like them whatsoever, and I’m sure that’s the same with my players.“We’re then stuck between a rock and a runway, not a rock and a hard place.“The conditions were just awful, the wind was all over the place.“These type of games are just not enjoyable.Ireland’s match winner Jeff Hendrick celebrates with the travelling fans at the final whistle after the win against Gibraltar3

“A win is a win at the end of the day.“In all honesty, we could’ve had our worst result in a long, long time, so it was very much job done from our point of view.”McCarthy likened his side’s task in Spain to that of a non-league outfit eyeing a giant killing against one of England’s big sides in the Cup.He added: “You ask any Premier League side who goes to a non-league side in the FA Cup if they really, hand on heart, enjoy it?
