Liverpool undone in injury time in Europa League tie in Villarreal 

A fortnight after an added-time winner put Liverpool into the last four of the Europa League, a similar fate befell them as they lost their semi-final first leg 1-0 in Villarreal.
The match appeared to be heading for a stalemate until substitute Adrian Lopez poked home two minutes into injury time.
It was less dramatic than Dejan Lovren's header against Borussia Dortmund two weeks previously - Jurgen Klopp's side still have the home leg to come - but frustrating nonetheless as they had appeared to have ground out a draw.
Going to the El Madrigal, where the hosts have now won all seven Europa League ties this season and are unbeaten in the competition since matchday one on September 17, was always going to be tough - but the Reds seemed to have done the hard work until a momentary lapse in concentration cost them.

Champions League Tipsheet: Barca to come unstuck at San Siro

Inter are in the best form of the Luciano Spalletti era and can upset Barcelona at San Siro on Tuesday, says James Horncastle... Intergalactic Inter v Barcelona Tuesday, 20:00 Live on BT Sport/ESPN Inter  could not go into Tuesday night's clash with Barcelona in better form. This weekend's 5-0 win against Genoa was their seventh in a row in the league and it built on the team's best performance of the season, a 3-0 dismantling of Lazio last Monday. Inter are hitting heights they have previously not reached in 18 months under Spalletti. The team is playing good football, boasts the  best defence in Serie A  and lost causes like Dalbert, Roberto Gagliardini and Joao Mario are suddenly contributing to decisive effect. Saturday's victory served to underline once again that Inter are  no longer dependent on Mauro Icardi for goals .
