Web Desk Arsenal battled back superbly to earn a point against Liverpool at Anfield in an entertaining 2-2 draw, but Mikel Arteta, their coach, was far from happy about the first-half display that saw Liverpool, already crowned champions, lead through goals from Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. “What we did in the first half is nowhere near the level, so to do it after that is not acceptable,” said a fuming Arteta to Sky Sports after the match. “We reacted, great, but it is unacceptable.” Headed goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino gave Arsenal a share of the points…

Webdesk Barcelona’s epic come-from-behind 4-3 win over Real Madrid may have been a feast for the neutral, but Hansi Flick, their coach, was far from satisfied with the defensive frailties that allowed Kylian Mbappe to score a hat-trick.

After reaching a second UEFA Champions League final in three seasons with Internazionale of Milan, Simone Inzaghi hailed his players after they prevailed 7-6 against Barcelona in one of the greatest knockout ties in the competition’s history. Inter looked gone towards the end of normal time, but Francesco Acerbi’s stoppage-time leveller and Davide Frattesi’s 99th minute strike inspired a famous victory. “Bayern Munich and Barcelona were the two best teams in Europe,” said Inzaghi, whose team saw off the Bavarians in the last eight. “We need to be proud of what we have done.

After a heroic effort, they trailed 3-2 to Raphinha’s 87th minute goal, and were on the verge of exiting the UEFA Champions League semi final 6-5 on aggregate.

In the ninth minute of that, Davide Frattesi produced a…
