Legendary football trio Graeme Souness, David Ginola and Glenn Hoddle have teamed up alongside Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer in a bid to get the nation to learn CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation). The British Heart Foundation and Sky Bet-led campaign, named 'Every Minute Matters', was unveiled at Wembley Stadium and aims to recruit 270,000 people - the equivalent of three Wembley's - to learn CPR over the next 12 months. And Sky Bet is pledging to donate up to £3million to support the vital work of Britain's biggest heart charity, starting with £10,000 for every goal scored during normal and extra-time during the play-offs throughout the Football league this month.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT THE ALLIANZ ARENA: It was perceived as the evening when a remarkable young talent might steal Harry Kane's thunder and that is precisely what happened. But, lest we forget, Jude Bellingham isn't the only shooting star in Real Madrid's galaxy. This was a night where he conducted and danced but did so in the broad shadow cast by Vinicius Junior, who bookended a marvellous Champions League semi-final with goals that in one breath teased the prospect of a Real victory and in the next rescued a draw. Before we get into the finer details, this was a belter of a tie. Truly, it was. And for a short while in the second half it seemed sure that it would be decided in Bayern's favour by Kane's penalty for 2-1.

Steve McManaman believes Jude Bellingham has had a 'greater impact' on the club compared to three Los Blancos legends.  The English midfielder joined the Spanish outfit from Borussia Dortmund for £113million and has seemingly taken the mantle of playing for one of the world's biggest football clubs in his stride, at the mere age of 20.  Bellingham has dazzled this season, scoring 17 goals in LaLiga, to guide Madrid to the top of the Spanish top flight. He has also scored three goals in two El Clasico matches and also helped Madrid clinch silverware, winning the Super Copa.  

COVENTRY CITY 1-2 IPSWICH TOWN - TOM COLLOMOSSE AT THE CBS ARENA: One more point will be enough to send Ipswich to the Premier League for the first time in 22 years after Cameron Burgess' second-half winner put them within sight of back-to-back promotions. If the Tractor Boys avoid defeat against Huddersfield - who are all but relegated - on Saturday it will be enough to take them up automatically and send Leeds United into the play-offs. A draw or more would crown a stunning triumph for coach Kieran McKenna, who led his side up from League One only last season. Ipswich rode their luck at times at Coventry but goals from Kieffer Moore and Burgess - either side of Haji Wright's leveller - saw them over the line.

With just a handful of games left of the campaign for Premier League clubs, some thoughts would have already turned to next season. First, there is a title race to decide, with Arsenal still leading the way a point clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, but with the reigning champions having played a game more. While at the bottom in looks like a straight shootout between Luton, Burnley and Nottingham Forest to see who gets relegated with Sheffield United . The results of each will lead to questions of which managers will still be in charge of their clubs when the Premier League returns in August. With the likes of David Moyes , Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino all under pressure in their current posts. Mail Sport runs down the twenty Premier League bosses and ranks their chances of staying in a job next season.

CRAIG HOPE: Paris Saint-Germain have been here before - twice in a Champions League semi-final in the past four seasons - but not like this. Not with a team who are, whisper it, likeable. Not with a team who have structure and strategy. And not with a team for whom football, not fame and fantasy, is the sole focus.

Simon Jordan (inset) has dubbed Mohamed Salah a 'fair weather player' amid speculation that Liverpool's star forward could be preparing to leave Anfield amid continued interest from Saudi Pro League sides. The Egyptian winger (far left, and right) has been one of the club's talismans since his arrival on Merseyside in 2017, but is set to enter the final year of his contract ahead of next season.
