Liverpool’s 20th league title awaits, WCL and FA Cup semis, and more – matchday live | FootballNotice: Undefined variable: newid in D:\vertrigo\www\voice\see.php on line 32  Key events Arne Slot will not be going crazy even if Liverpool win the title today. The Dutchman would every right to celebrate vociferously – he’s done a wonderful job to turn the Reds back into league winners without a significant signing. But that’s not his style … others around Anfield I’m sure won’t be holding back today. “I enjoyed it a lot when Feyenoord won the title – but I don’t go crazy,” Slot said. “It wasn’t like I ran three times around the stadium. I was just very, very happy inside and I shared my emotions with the people around me and the fans. But I will never be the one who is the loudest nor the weirdest in the moment. I’m not like that.” On the achievement itself, Slot said: “It is for other people to judge. It would be a bit weird to judge myself, but I can judge the performance for my staff and the medical staff – and they should get a lot of credit over the course of the season.” Today's main headlines
Don’t forget, matchday.live@theguardian.com is the address to use to get in touch! Where to begin? Well, Liverpool will dominate today’s blog for sure, but it’s worth recapping everything that happened yesterday on a sizzling Saturday of football. There were ups and downs galore. Crystal Palace stormed into the FA Cup final with a dash of Ebere Eze genius and two Ismaïla Sarr goals, Barcelona lifted Spain’s Copa del Rey after a thrilling extra-time victory over Real Madrid, there were Premier League wins for Newcastle, Chelsea, Brighton, Fulham and Wolves, Celtic claimed a 55th (yes, really) Scottish league title and there was an almighty changing of the guard in Welsh football as Wrexham sealed promotion to the Championship – a third successive promotion for them – and Cardiff dropped into League One. Did I miss anything there? Probably. It was one heck of a day. PreambleGood morning and welcome to the second of our matchday live blogs, teeing up all the day’s action and bringing you insight from our various reporters across the grounds, as well as reaction from yesterday’s action. Today all roads lead to Anfield and a likely 20th league title for Liverpool – if they can get at least a point against Tottenham Hotspur. At the same time (4.30pm BST) Manchester City and Nottingham Forest lock horns in the FA Cup semi-final to see who will meet Crystal Palace at Wembley next month. What a win it was for the Eagles over Aston Villa yesterday by the way … There’s also Bournemouth v Manchester United in the league at 2pm, plus the Women’s Champions League semi-final second legs (Chelsea 1-4 Barcelona and Lyon 2-1 Arsenal is how they stand on aggregate) plus a smattering of other games. We’ll be having a Q&A with our women’s football correspondent Tom Garry later on. Get your questions and emails in wherever you’re soaking in today’s football. On Friday we had Liverpool fans touching base from Bolivia. It’s certainly a seismic day Reds all across the globe. Source link Posted: 2025-04-27 08:56:27 |
