BT SPORT have won the right to broadcast the Champions League and Europa League on British screens until 2024 for a ten-figure fee. Uefa have been tendering the TV rights for three years from 2021. BT have won the race and will pay the same as their existing £1.2billion, three-year deal, with the rights costing £400million-a-year. It means the pay-for television channel has once again held off competition from ITV and Sky to show Europe's premier club competition.

For supporters of Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea it has been quite a week. First they had the joy of seeing their teams get through to the finals of Europe’s two cup competitions: the only time there has been a clean sweep by English clubs.

As the final whistle blew at Anfield, following Liverpool’s amazing comeback against Barcelona, anyone logging on to airline websites found the price of a ticket to Madrid – where the final of the Champions League will be held – had rocketed to more than £700 on the weekend of the match. When Spurs scored a last-minute winner against Ajax to join Liverpool in the final, prices rose again and not just for direct flights to Madrid but for alternative routes as well. The price of accommodation in the Spanish capital also rocketed. Hotels jacked up their prices, as did those who let out their properties on Airbnb. The going rate for a two-night stay in … [Read more...] about Liverpool and Spurs fans learn a hard lesson in basic economics

LORENZO INSIGNE'S deadly creativity overshadowed Alec Oxlade-Chamberlain's cautious comeback as Napoli destroyed Liverpool in this Murrayfield friendly. Italy forward Insigne matched his brilliant solo opener by teeing up the Serie A side's other two goals with similar jinking runs down the left. And although Liverpool raised the tempo in the second period they had no-one to rival Insigne, no moments up front to match his. The 28-year-old spurted clear in the 17th minutes before peaking his own counter-attack with a dart inside and firm curler, placed perfectly in the far corner. Then Insigne burst down the same flank 12 minutes later in a more direct run, this time ending with a raking cross flicked in by Polish strike-partner Arkadiusz Milik, as Reds' keeper Simon Mignolet was left exposed. That two-goal margin was fair enough over the first half as a whole as Napoli regularly broke menacingly, while Liverpool only brightened up late in the period.And although Jurgen Klopp's men … [Read more...] about Insigne boots Liverpool into touch at Murrayfield as the Napoli striker hits opener and tees up two in 3-0 friendly win
