Missed the action from Tuesday's UEFA Champions League games? Have no fear, RT Sport have picked out the best, brightest and ballsiest moments of the last round of games in Groups A to D. Liverpool scraped into the knockout stages of Europe's premier tournament with a 1-0 win over Napoli through, who else, but Mohamed Salah in Group C. The Egyptian King's 34th minute goal was enough to send the Reds through and force one Napoli fan to tears...despite there being 50 minutes left of the game. That reaction was in stark contrast to the arrival of the Neopolitans on Merseyside, who marched through the streets of Liverpool with heartily singing "F*ck you Liverpool", and brandishing flagpoles. With a hint of poetic justice for Liverpool, Red Star were knocked out on the same night. The Reds went through with moneybags Paris Saint-Germain who slaughtered Red Star 4-1 in Belgrade with goals from Kylian Mbappe, Edinson Cavani and Neymar Jr. And those Napoli … [Read more...] about Cheers, tears and f*ck you’s!…UEFA Champions League round up (PHOTOS/VIDEO)

UEFA Champions League: Semifinal meeting between Bayern and Madrid rich in history
They are two of the biggest clubs in the world, both with enough trophies to fill a warehouse. They are Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. On Wednesday, the giants of European soccer will meet yet again in the Champions League semifinals. "We will need a big performance against a strong opponent," Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said ahead of Wednesday's first leg in Munich. "Bayern is a great club with great team spirit."

UEFA Champions League: Roma v Liverpool
For the first time in 34 years, Roma are in the Champions League semi-finals. The next obstacle in their fairytale run is Jurgen Klopp's scintillating Liverpool and former Giallorossi forward and newly crowned PFA Player of the Year Mohamed Salah. But Roma's remarkable achievements have also evoked memories of their infamous 1984 European Cup campaign - the last time they reached the final four. Roma overcame a 2-0 first-leg deficit to thwart Scottish underdogs Dundee United en route to the title decider, which they lost in a penalty shoot-out on home soil to Liverpool at the Stadio Olimpico. Their exploits in 1984, however, were soured by claims of attempts to bribe the referee - news that was brought to light again seven years ago. Swept aside by United at Tannadice, Roma needed a handsome victory in the return leg to avoid a shock upset and it came thanks to Roberto Pruzzo's double and a 58th-minute penalty from Agostino Di Bartolomei that sealed the … [Read more...] about UEFA Champions League: Roma v Liverpool
