Manchester City were also guaranteed top spot in their Group before last night's matches.

They had Kyle Walker sent off in a 2-1 defeat at RB Leipzig.

He will now miss the first leg of their last 16 tie.

Ahead of that game, Red Devils interim boss Ralf Rangnick has made a couple of appointments.

The German will bring coach Chris Armas and sports psychologist Sascha Lense to the club.

But Rangnick says there is no point in him making changes unless the players sign up to his methods:

The tie of the Champions League tonight is arguably in Munich, as Barcelona bid to remain in the competition.

They face Bayern Munich.

SNOOKER

Fergal O'Brien knocked Kyren Wilson out of the Scottish Open by 4 frames to 1 last night.

He will now face Gary Wilson.

CRICKET

Australia have made a dream start on day one of the Ashes in Brisbane.

They bowled out England for just 147 runs.

TENNIS

Novak Djokovic has been included in the tournament draw for the Australian Open.

The defending men's singles champion has not revealed his vaccination status.

Government officials in Melbourne have said that all players at the Grand Slam must be fully vaccinated.
