Can anyone explain what happened to the Ferran Torres shirt during Barcelona’s Europa League clash with Napoli on Thursday? It appears that whoever oversaw Barça’s kits didn’t do a great job on Torres’ as he started the game with a Barcelona crest and Nike logo but lost the two at some point during the game.

DORTMUND - Rangers pulled off a stunning 4-2 win away to Borussia Dortmund on Thursday to take command of their Europa League knockout stage playoff tie.
A penalty from James Tavernier put the Glasgow side ahead in the 38th minute before Colombian forward Alfredo Morelos doubled their advantage in the 41st, tapping in from close range following a well-worked corner routine made easier by slack marking from Dortmund.
El Real Betis rescató un botín fantástico en su visita al Zenit de San Petersburgo. Los verdiblancos ganaron 2-3 en la ida de los playoffs que dan boleto a los octavos de final de la Europa League y tuvieron en Andrés Guardado a su figura consular: el Principito fue capitán del equipo e incluso se dio el lujo de anotar el gol que significó la victoria.
The Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid transfer saga has already taken turns that are without precedent, but after the 23-year-old again showcased why he's already the most electrifying footballer on the planet during PSG's 1-0 win over Real on Tuesday, another twist was reported by The Independent
LONDON - Liverpool have the chance to cut Manchester City's Premier League lead, albeit briefly, to six points on Saturday as they continue their distant pursuit of the champions.
Despite his team winning their last four games, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp says Manchester City will not be peering anxiously in their rearview mirror.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte said the club's current focus was on signing younger players who still needed to gain experience.
"If you want to grow faster, you want to try to be more competitive faster, you also need players with a lot of experience because then they increase the experience in your team," he told Italian Sky Sport in an interview.
Conte, who helped Serie A's Inter Milan to win the title last year and break Juventus's nine-year win streak, said Spurs came out of the January transfer window numerically weakened.
Remember when Leeds United tried to buy Brenden Aaronson from RB Salzburg for $20 million during the January transfer window? The Austrian club can now tell potential suitors to double that price after the 21-year-old American put on a show against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.
After navigating the group stage for the first time in Salzburg's history, the popular opinion was that Bayern was going to give the club a first leg beatdown along the same vein as Manchester City's 5-0 dismantling of Sporting.
No le dedicó una canción ni le escribió un poema, pero Xavi Hernández elogió públicamente a Hirving Lozano en la previa del duelo que enfrentará a Barcelona y Napoli en la Europa League.
Después de tragar bilis porque el Barcelona no está en la burbuja mágica de la Champions - "Me da rabia escuchar la música y no estar ahí", dijo -, Xavi habló del equipo italiano, con un par de líneas especiales para Lozano y un tono innegable de alivio, considerando que el delantero mexicano será una de las grandes ausencias del conjunto napolitano.
ROME — Italy's Justice Ministry has issued an international arrest warrant for former AC Milan and Brazil striker Robinho after the country's top court confirmed his conviction for rape, a ministry spokesman said on Wednesday.
The ministry has asked the global police agency Interpol to enact the warrant.
Robinho, whose full name is Robson de Souza, lives in Brazil. The South American country does not extradite its nationals, which means Robinho would only face arrest if he travelled abroad.
Thinking back over the first six months of the Premier League season, it has seemed like an unusually poor year for goalkeepers. This has been evident from the opening weekend, when a plethora of minor goalkeeping errors led to a forgettable start to the season.
David de Gea has been sensational, but aside from the Man United keeper, who has stood out between the posts this year?
