The head coach deserves a lot of the credit. You know, angel has answered a lot of critics with this performance. The last four seasons they have gone out of the quarterfinals, and it looked as though they would not get to the quarterfinals this time around because of this difficult draw against barcelona. Domestically, psg are not as dominant as they have been at the past. So he was under pressure, going into this game. Faultless performance. Everything worked in this game against barcelona. His tactics were spot on, he got the best out of all his players, it was a 4 0 win which was completely deserved. Let us not forget there was one other last 16first leg tie being played on tuesday, with benfica1 0 winners at home to borussia dortmund, in a match that saw dortmund and Gabon Striker Pierre Emerick aubameyang miss from the penalty spot, which was pleasing for the benfica head coach. Translation it was a very tough match, a match against a very good team, one of the best teams in europe going forward. That created a lot of problems for us. We knew that it would be tough, but it is a very tasty victory. Tasty because we are playing in the last 16 of the Champions League winning by 1 0 and not conceding any goals. It is what the teams try and do, of course, scoring more goals, yes, but not conceding goals in the first match is important.

So if i trained and if i put some work in, i think i would be pretty good.

The advantage of having monty and sri, just telling our bowlers how to bowl here and face the indian spinners is going to be key. We know that will be key in this tournament, how we play their spinners. They also have some quality fast bowlers, so we also have some quality fast bowlers, so we have to play all around. They have a good attack, you dont win when you are up to 20 Test Match Defeat at home. So we know they are a quality side, and we will have to play well.

Michael phelps has won the world comeback of the year trophy at the Laureus World Sports Awards in monaco. The most successful 0lympian ever faced competition from Tennis Player Juan Martin Del Potro and skier aksel lund svindal. At last years 0lympics, the american won five gold and one silver medal, making it 23 golds in total, and he says it is a games he will remember. I think, looking ithink, looking back i think, looking back at those games, watching the races that i competed in, the 200 flight for me is probably one of my greatest 0lympic races of my life. You know, being able to come back after the defeat in 2012, and just to get back to that point, you know, i think thatis to that point, you know, i think that is something which is a challenge in itself. Taking 1. 5, almost two years off, getting myself back to the place where i was able to compete and finish exactly how i wanted, i think that was the special thing. But, i mean, ithink that is where you saw the biggest celebration from me, after that race, where i am sitting on the lane lines basically saying bring it. But it was just a cool moment, and lines basically saying bring it. But it wasjust a cool moment, and i wa nted it wasjust a cool moment, and i wanted that won back really bad, and being able to look up and see my wife and son up there was just. It was something i havent had before, and just a treat. To major league baseball, and the chicago cubs returned for Spring Training on tuesday, after having won the world series for the first time in 108 years last season. The cubs won the historic title with a dramatic game 7 victory over the cleveland indians, and started back to training in arizona, with manager joe maddon wanting his squad to avoid any complacency. The approach is the same. You know, the emphasis on defence, the emphasis on teaching, to continue to improve offensively because we are young and we are good. All of that message is going to be exactly the same ina message is going to be exactly the same in a lot of ways as it was last year. The difference is, i would like to believe, confidence. You know, the fact that you are more confident, that you know you can do that, that matters. You always want to guard against any kind of complacency, in a sense, or the fact that you just expect it to happen just because you have done it. That isa just because you have done it. That is a bad assumption to make. And i dont think our guys are going to jump dont think our guys are going to jump there. However, i think it is my responsibility, hours, to talk about it, just like last year. And in the last 16 opening leg matches, psg winners over barcelona, and then figure 1 0 winners over borussia. Benfica. Hello, there. We are looking at changes to our weather now. Weve lost that cold, easterly grey weather. Something a bit milder coming from the south. But, in the next 2a hours and for the rest of this week, weather will be coming in off the atlantic. And that is what were looking at, i think, overnight. Some weatherfronts pushing up from the south, introducing more cloud around. Some rain across central, northern areas, which will be clearing its way northwards. Then we have two areas of Rain Pushing Toward Southern England by the end of the night. Generally quite a misty, murky, cloudy night to come, but that will blanket in temperatures. So we should be looking at anything from 5 9 celsius, but some chilly spots in Northern Scotland in the morning. We have rain pushing toward South West England and towards south wales. Heavy bursts mixed into there. Wouldnt be surprised if you heard a rumble of thunder through the morning. A mild start. Elsewhere, dampness across the south east, but generally cloudy for england and wales, and quite grey, misty and murky. A little bit of rain, some showers affecting the irish sea coasts. Some of it pushing towards Northern Ireland and south scotland. Central Northern Scotland, a cold start here, perhaps A Touch Of Frost in northern glens. But, at least for you, youll probably see the best of the sunshine through the day. Same too for Northern Ireland. Further south, the Weather Front pushes northwards and eastwards as the day wears on. And again, some of it could be heavy towards the midlands and towards the south east, potentially some heavy bursts for Northern Counties of england, too. A mild feel to things here. A little bit cooler further north, but you have the sunshine, a little bit cooler further north, but youve got the sunshine, so it will compensate. Now, that Weather Front pushes towards the north sea. Things turns dry for england and wales. Winds turn light as well. A cool night, maybe mist and fog to start thursday morning. An area of low pressure will sweep to the north of scotland. This brings frequent showers to Northern Ireland and much of central Northern Scotland and fairly strong, blustery winds. But for england and wales, actually, quite a quiet day, with light winds and sunshine. Feeling pleasantly mild, 11 or 12 celsius. The low pressure pushes towards scandinavia. The ridge of High Pressure nudges in for friday. That means with light winds and damp air we could start the day on friday with some dense fog patches around. But they should generally clear and lift, to allow for sunshine to develop, certainly through friday afternoon. This is friday in more detail. We will start off with some dense mist and fog. Through the day skies should tend to brighten up. Feeling mild, temperatures in double figures. But notice out west there will be strengthening winds and outbreaks of rain. That takes us into the weekend, and for most of us, staying mild. There will be a little bit of rain in the forecast, but for most of us it should stay dry.
