Though, who hit the frame of dortmunds goal four times on the night and twice in the first leg. Psg have never been european champions, losing to Bayern Munich in the 2020 final. Dortmund, though, have won the trophy once before, beating juventus in 1997. For psg, its heartbreak again, as our reporter Connor Mcnamara explains. Paris Saint Germain threw the kitchen sink at this and they will not believe that they have not scored. On four different occasions, they hit the woodwork the post, the crossbar. Incredible. There was a Penalty Appeal late on for Kylian Mbappe that didnt go his way. This Huge Investment in mbappe in recent seasons has not produced the trophy that psg wanted more than any other. But what about for dortmund . In their First Champions League semifinalfor11 years, having sold talent two years ago, having sold Jude Bellingham at the start of this season, they keep driving on and they are into the final, 2 0 on aggregate, dortmund eliminating paris Saint Germain. So dortmund will face either Bayern Munich or real madrid in the final at Wembley Onjune the 1st. Those two sides play their second leg in spain on wednesday with the score 2 2 from last weeks first match. Bayern have missed out on the bundesliga title and their star signing harry kane is still waiting to win a major trophy despite scoring a remarkable 44 goals across all competitions this campaign. His manager says, despite the lack of slverware, kane has been the real deal this season. I knew we get a Big Personality into our dressing room, on top of everything you can analyse goal scoring and movement and assisting and dealing with the pressure. You know it. We knew we get a huge personality because he was captain of tottenham and on top, captain, is still captain of the English National team. But actually. He brought everything to the table that we could possibly hope for. In england, Nottingham Forests appeal against a four point deduction for breaking premier League Financial rules has been rejected. An independent commission had found forests losses in the 2022 23 season breached the threshold of £61 million, and that decision has been upheld. It means forest remain 17th and three points clear of the Relegation Zone with two games of the season remaining. Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall has been following the story. They were found to have over spent their profit and sustainability limit of £61 million by £3115 million. Now, usually, Premier League clubs are allowed to lose £105 million over a rolling three year period, but because Nottingham Forest spent two of those years in the championship, their limit was reduced accordingly. Now, they could been handed a six point penalty at the time, but the Premier League gave them a less severe punishment because they took into account their early plea and cooperation. Still, though, forest were not happy with that punishment. They said at the time that the spending restrictions on promoted clubs, they said, undermine the leagues integrity and competitiveness. Now, today, we find out that their appeal has been dismissed, the four point penalty stands, and although they havent commented, i think they and everton who we know have also been subject to points deductions this season under psr will be feeling probably hard done by, because these rules have proved so controversial and they are set to be replaced new by regulations in the 25 26 season. Katie gornall there. Now to cycling. Favourite Tadej Pogacar has retained his overall lead after stage four of the giro ditalia. The slovenian is 46 seconds clear of Britains Geraint Thomas in the standings.

Tennis now, and lets update you on the first round of the wta tournament in rome, where the former world number two paula badosa has won her match in the opening round of the italian open.

Were you at any time in that period concerned about the safety of your children . Did you fear for your family . Absolutely. I started to call a lot of people to see whether people are safe.

Thats between real madrid and Bayern Munich. You can follow all of that on the bbc sport website. Thanks for watching. Hello. The weather has been gradually drying up over the past 2a hours or so, and weve got some more dry, settled weather on the cards through much of the week ahead, really. High pressure is going to be in charge over the next few days. But for the rest of the week, we will at times see Weather Fronts just trying to topple across the north of that High Pressure. Could bring a little bit of rain at times across parts of scotland in particular, perhaps the north of northern ireland. But itll be warming up here. Mostly dry elsewhere, though, with some spells of sunshine on the cards. So we are in for a relatively quiet few days of weather. Were likely to start wednesday morning with quite a bit of mist and fog around, especially so for parts of eastern england, also perhaps wales and the south west of england. Could be some misty patches elsewhere. For most, theyll tend to lift and clear, so itll brighten up some sunny spells, particularly for england and wales. Just the odd isolated shower. More rain moving into the north West Of Scotland later on in the afternoon. So temperatures in the north west, under the cloud, about 13 there for stornoway, but up to around about 21 for the likes of birmingham and london too. So theres that wet weather through wednesday evening, northern ireland, northern and Western Scotland seeing some outbreaks of rain. Further south, most places staying dry, but there should be some mist and some fog thats going to be forming again into the early hours of thursday morning, but certainly mild many places staying in double figures overnight. So more of the same on thursday, High Pressure still in charge. So a lot of dry weather, Mist Clearing away gradually. Lots of sunshine, i think, for england and wales by this stage. There just could be the odd isolated shower. Again, a little bit more cloud across the north of scotland. Temperatures in lerwick only around 11 degrees, but for the bulk of the uk, were looking at around about 18 to 22 degrees. And that Warming Trend will continue as we head into friday, too. So, High Pressure still very much in charge. I think by friday, well have less in the way of rain and cloud across the north of scotland, and quite widely across the uk, in those spells of sunshine, temperatures will be above 20 degrees. We could see 23 or even 2a down towards the south east. Again, a little bit cooler, especially across the north of scotland and the Northern Isles in particular. Now, heading into the weekend, it looks like High Pressure will be sitting out towards the east there. This Weather Front will just try and nudge in from the west by the time we get to sunday. But saturday, certainly looking dry, fine, pretty warm for all of us. Just that chance of a few showers moving into the west as we head through sunday. Bye for now.
