Paris Saint Germain including Kylian Mbappe were simply blown away by newcastle who led 2 0 by half time thanks to goals by Miguel Almiron and dan burn. Sean longstaff, born and raised here in north east england, made it three. Psg pulled one back, before fabian schar� s screamer rounded off a famous 4 1 win. It was loud, raucous, everything you would expect from a european night in newcastle. And with the likes of ac milan and Borussia Dortmund to travel here to stjames� park, you suspect they wont be in a rush to hurry. And this was the scene in the newcastle Dressing Room after that win the club putting the picture out on social media. While the players of course have a game to prepare for at the weekend, i think its fair to say there might be a few sore heads amongst the fans in the morning. Elsewhere, theres was late heartbreak for celtic as they lost 2 1 to lazio, the winner coming in the 95th minute. That makes it two defeats from two and leaves them bottom of group e.

You can get all the details and reaction on the bbc sport website. The 2030 Football World Cup will be held across six countries in three different continents, fifa has confirmed. The decision is set to be ratified at a Fifa Congress next year with spain, portugal, and morocco as the co hosts. But the opening round of matches will be played in uruguay, argentina, and paraguay to mark 100 years since the first tournament in montevideo. Our sports editor, dan roan, says fifa are bound to face questions about the impact on the environment. You have the prospect of teams, perhaps from europe, Flying Thousands of miles to South America Forjust One Match before flying on the way back again across the atlantic, back to europe for the remainder of their tournaments. I think the optics of that are unhelpful and certainly according to many environmental campaigners and there is been condemnation already this evening in the form of Supporter Groups for example who say it sets the wrong example, and thre is already controversy around the odi, of Staging A World Cup in three countries, as i said, in 2026. The idea of going even further with six countries in three separate continents will add to that controversy. That news from fifa came on the same day the uk and Republic Of Ireland will now bid unopposed for euro 2028 after turkey withdrew to focus on a joint bid with italy for euro 32.

Uefa will award the hosting of Two European Championships next tuesday. Liverpool manager jurgen klopp wants their Premier League game against tottenham to be replayed after luis diazs goal was wrongly disallowed by the video assistant referee. The var team failed to overrule the decision when diaz was flagged offside when the game was still goalless. The referees� body, the pgmol, released the audio of discussions between the match officials as they made the decision and when they realised the mistake that had been made. Liverpool went on to lose 2 1. Not as the manager of liverpool so much, more as a football person. I think the only outcome should be a replay. Thats how it is. It would happen again. I think a replay would be the right thing to do or the ref has the opportunity to bring both coaches together and say sorry, we made a mistake. But we can sort it. Let him score a goal and we start from there. Decisions are decisions and sometimes they go for you, sometimes they go against you, and what happened on the weekend for us as players and as the team is very disappointing. I am frustrated, but as i said, there is nothing we can do as players now and the game has gone. Englands womens captain Leah Williamson has been presented with her 0be by Prince William at Windsor Castle following the lionesses� euro 2022 triumph. Williamson has won six major trophies with arsenal and was named in the kings new years honours list at the end of 2022 alongside her fellow team mates lucy bronze, beth mead, and ellen white. Both england and new zealand have suffered injury blows ahead of their Cricket World Cup opener on thursday with ben stokes and Kane Williamson set to miss the match. Stokes is a doubt with a hip problem, while williamson is still working his way back from a serious knee injury. The england captain, jos buttler, says theres no need to risk stokes if hes not fully fit. Just got a little niggle with his hip, so we will obviously know more today and ahead of training this evening. But it is a long tournament, so we wont take undue risk. But yes, we will know more a little bit later, just got a slight niggle. Any team that does not have kane in it, we would be better off having him, but i think from our Point Of View to have him here at the world cup is a testament to the work he has put in over the last 4 5 months to be where he is. He has played a bit of a part in the last two warmup games, he is batting beautifully, and he was out on the field a couple of days ago. He is producing really nicely and fingers crossed he is on the park sooner rather than later. Now, throughout this week were profiling the winners of the bbc green sport awards. Former Major League Baseball player Chris Dickerson has been announced as evergreen athlete 2023. He created the organisation players for planet, through which he encourages and supports fellow high profile athletes to raise awareness of environmental impacts. I want to take you back to the start. Where did your interest in the environment come from . Really, it started growing up in southern california. If you want to talk about a certain place that encompasses all ourfailures, its california. Habitat loss, overpopulation, water pollution, air pollution. Its all here. But it wasnt until later that i really started to put the pieces together and look back and understood why i had teammates on soccer teams and baseball teams that couldnt show up to practise because of poor air quality and they had asthma. Did you have that moment of realisation were you thought, you know, i can see the change . I think maybe what youre talking about, the a ha moment is sitting in the locker room and looking around and seeing the amount of plastic we use in professional sports. Look to the side, see a 50 Gallon Trashcan full of single use plastic while reading an article saying that plastic stays in the environment for 1,000 years, that was my a ha moment and ifelt like if i can make a change and see how we can cut down on plastic, maybe through the use of reusable water bottles, then lets do it. We are down here to clean up the beach, connect with the community, and inspire lasting change in the way that we use plastic. This is where it all starts. This beach clean up represents something bigger than baseball. Lets talk about players for the planet. What were you trying or hoping to achieve with that organisation in the first instance . I was hoping to be an example and be a beacon of support for what was happening with the environment. Every day we show up to a ballpark and we have a captive audience of 40,000 fans and that an opportunity for athletes to step up and be examples of best practices. Wearing green shoelaces to bring awareness to issues facing our climate, using my reusable water bottle, biking to the stadium, you can make an announcement, hey, please return your beer cup to the front. Please take your cycling. Sports is so powerful. What you are doing. Sports is so powerful. What you are doing, congratulations. Sports is so powerful. What you are doing, congratulations. It. Are doing, congratulations. It is inspiring. Fortunate to talk to you and thanks for your time. I appreciate it, honoured for the award and its great having this chat, these meaningful chats to move progress forward and again i truly appreciate it. What a great example he is setting. You can get all the latest sports news on the bbc sport app or from our website. From me and the rest of the team here at the bbc sport centre, goodbye for now. Hello. Some of you may be forgiven for thinking that summer has returned this weekend. Yes, for some of you, the weather is set to get a lot warmer. But before you get there, at the moment, cloud is thickening to our west and we have rain on the way as well for quite a few. Now were starting to see rain edge into northern ireland. Thats going to be turning steadier and heavier over the next few hours, but some patches of rain also for the southwest of scotland, the north west of both england and wales. With extensive cloud around, its a mild start to thursday morning, with temperatures into double figures widely. But across the northern half of scotland with some clearer skies here were starting on a chilly note. Now, through thursday, this low pressure is the system thats bringing the rain. So its going to be quite windy. You can see some fairly tightly packed isobars there. The rain at its heaviest in the morning across northern ireland. That wetter weather then swings across scotland, northern england, wales and some damp weather too, for the midlands for a time, east anglia and southern parts of england probably staying dry until after dark with some bright spells coming through the cloud. And for many areas of the uk, temperatures are running above average. Now eventually you might see a little bit of Rain Thursday evening trickling down across parts of Southern England and east anglia, but it wont really amount to very much. 0n into fridays forecast, weve got another zone of rain pushing into western scotland. The rain now clearing further southwards as this ridge of High Pressure starts to build in and that should mean that the weather becomes increasingly dry. Therell be a bit more sunshine to go around and those temperatures are creeping up 22 in london, while the average for this time of the year in the capital is 16 degrees. Now, the process of that High Pressure really starting to flex its muscles continues into the weekend. Pushing the band of rain ever further northwards across scotland where it could be quite wet across Northern Areas of scotland on saturday. 0therwise, lots of sunshine around and those temperatures climbing, well, we could see highs of 26, maybe a 27 this weekend in the very warmest areas. Certainly those temperatures are a long, long way above average. And if we look at temperatures in october now, we often see temperatures, the highest temperatures in a month getting to the low 20s. But its quite rare to see temperatures up to 26 or 27. That would make it one of the hotter days that weve seen in october in this country. Live from washington, this is bbc news.
