• Borussia Dortmund receive injury boosts ahead of Champions League semi-final

  Borussia Dortmund midfielder Marcel Sabitzer and forward Donyell Malen are likely to be fit in time for Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at home against Paris Saint-Germain, coach Edin Terzic said on Tuesday.

  Dortmund will also have Emre Can and Ian Maatsen back from suspension, while Sabitzer, who was out ill for several days, and Dutch international Malen, recovering from an injury picked up during the March international break, have returned to training.

  "Marcel and Donyell both took part in training. We expect that they will be at our disposal tomorrow," said Terzic.

  "Marcel is feeling better, and we need him in his form from before his illness tomorrow."

  Dortmund have struggled in the league this season and on Saturday suffered a crushing 4-1 loss to direct rivals RB Leipzig, who held on to fourth place, leaving them in fifth with three matches remaining.

  The top four teams qualify for the Champions League group stage next season.

  Germany is likely to earn a fifth spot as one of the top two in UEFA's coefficient table depending on the remaining results in European competition this season.

  Dortmund's deep Champions League run this season, however, has kept fans hopeful of some silverware.

  The sides also met in the group stage, with the French side winning 2-0 in Paris before a 1-1 draw in Dortmund.

  "You could sense in the return leg that we had learned the lessons from the first game," Terzic said.

  "Now PSG look to be at their very peak this season with only one defeat in 2024 and a good run of results. We will have to show an improved performance from that in Dortmund."

  "We are confident that will show it tomorrow and next week in Paris. The clear goal is to gain a small advantage after the game tomorrow. We know we have to play at least 180 minutes at the highest level to have any shot at our dream."

• Preston 0-3 Leicester City: Foxes seal Championship title in style

  Leicester City cruised to a 3-0 win over Preston in the Championship on Monday to clinch the title with a game to spare.

  Jamie Vardy was the star for the Foxes as he scored in both halves before Kasey McAteer made sure of the points with an unmarked header.

  Abdul Fatawu had the chance to cap an already memorable night for the travelling fans but hit the post with his curler.

  Preston slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat, while Leicester go into their final game against Blackburn Rovers with the knowledge that they will lift the trophy after the final whistle. 

  Data Debrief

  Jamie Vardy has scored 18 goals this season (two in this game), more than any other Leicester player in the competition. He has also netted in his last three games, scoring four goals in total.

  It was a dominant performance from the Foxes, who had 19 shots with 11 of those on target. At the other end, Preston only managed to test Jakub Stolarczyk once from their five attempts. 

• Real Madrid star Valverde reveals penalty shootout regret

  Real Madrid's Federico Valverde conceded he is "bitter" about not taking a penalty in Los Blancos' shootout win over Manchester City in the Champions League.

  Fourteen-time European champions Madrid progressed to the last four of the competition by overcoming holders City on penalties at the end of a thrilling tie in the quarters.

  Luka Modric missed Madrid's first spot-kick, but Andriy Lunin made saves from Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic to help Carlo Ancelotti's team get over the line and into a semi-final meeting with Bayern Munich.

  Valverde, who scored a stunning volley in the 3-3 draw in the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, did not take a penalty, and ahead of Tuesday's clash with Bayern, the Uruguayan admitted his regret at not doing so.

  "That night I went to bed with the regret of having been able to leave that mark on Real Madrid, of going to the semi-finals with a goal of mine, especially because I am good at penalties," he told reporters.

  "But if another team-mate did it, that's fine. But I had a bitter taste, yes.

  "Sometimes you have to put aside your ego and pride, recognise that you are very tired and tell the coaching staff that you are not prepared to take a penalty.

  "I hope in the future I feel stronger and it doesn't happen again."

  Madrid are unbeaten in their last 10 games in the Champions League (W7 D3), all of which have been this season. Only once previously have they had a longer unbeaten run within a single campaign in the competition, going 11 without defeat in the 2016-17 edition (which they would go on to win).

  Asked how Madrid's squad are feeling ahead of Tuesday's fixture, Valverde added: "I can talk to you personally: very excited.

  "It will be my first time against Bayern in the Champions League and I am happy, looking forward to it.

  "Appreciating every moment I spend defending this shield and playing this competition with this shirt."

  This is the eighth time Bayern and Madrid have been drawn together in a semi-final in the European Cup/Champions League.

  After progressing from four of the first five between 1976 and 2012, Bayern have been eliminated in each of the last two (2013-14 and 2017-18).
