Manchester City have only beaten Juventus once in seven previous meetings. That victory came in the first round of the Uefa Cup in September 1976, Brian Kidd scoring the only goal of the first leg at Maine Road. Much good it did the Citizens, who lost the return leg in Turin 2-0, Gaetano Scirea and Roberto Boninsegna with the goals at the Stadio Comunale. Names that evoke some proper old-school Italian glamour, right there. Since then, it’s been slim pickings for City, with two draws and four defeats against the Bianconeri. The latest of those losses came just seven months ago, during City’s downright strange mid-season misfire. An opportunity for City to right some historical wrongs tonight.

The big news for City: Rodri starts a match for the first time since succumbing to injury against Arsenal last autumn. Or is this the big news: Erling Haaland is back on the bench. Take your pick.

By taking military action, Trump “created the conditions to end the war, decimating, obliterating Iran’s nuclear capabilities”, Hegseth says, contrary to early US intelligence findings reported yesterday that suggested US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites did not destroy two of the sites and only set program back by months.

Hegseth starts off by praising Trump’s “game-changing” and “historic” achievement in getting most of the Nato allies to raise the defense spending to 5%.

Chelsea forward on the way her brothers sharpened her skills and how the country can get behind the Lionesses

‘I think it was in me from when I was young,” says Lauren James of the fierce competitive drive that has taken her from playing football with her brothers, Josh and Reece, in a park behind their house in Mortlake, south-west London, to England’s opening match of Euro 2025 against France in Zurich on 5 July.
