Pictures circulated on social media on Tuesday showing the 27-year-old and Wilson Odobert standing next to a damaged Ferrari, although the Spurs winger was travelling in his own car and stopped to assist his team-mate. The accident happened as the pair were on their way to the airport for the club's trip to Germany and Wednesday's final Champions League group phase match at Eintracht Frankfurt (20:00 GMT).

Best odds: 1/2 The Parc des Princes will host one of the most decisive fixtures of matchday eight on Wednesday, as defending Champions League winners Paris Saint‑Germain meet Newcastle United with both clubs battling to secure a top‑eight finish. Each side sits on 13 points, with PSG in sixth despite last week's defeat to Sporting, while Newcastle occupy seventh following their emphatic victory over PSV.

"When you are Liverpool, the aim is to win the league. We've only done this twice in the last 30 years. The aim is to be competitive in every single competition we are in. "That's always the aim, but the reality is that in the last three years we've won one League Cup and one Premier League title. "What is acceptable? I have my opinion but I'm not going to share that."

"Arbeloa can coach any club in the world and I would want him to do well just as I want the best for Real Madrid. Arbeloa is one of my boys. I love Madrid and I love Arbeloa, I only want things to go badly for them tomorrow. "I have not spoken to Álvaro. I cannot analyse him as a coach because I have not seen him train."

McTominay has scored four goals in his last five Champions League appearances. The last Scotsman to score five goals in a single European Cup season was Mo Johnston in 1990-91 for Rangers, and last for a non-Scottish club was John Wark for Liverpool in 1984-85. And Zola, a former Chelsea star, feels the ex-Manchester United midfielder, who has been involved in a team-leading 31 open-play shot-ending sequences in Europe this season, can be decisive against the Blues.

Napoli are on the brink of being eliminated from the Champions League as the troubled Italian club face Chelsea on Wednesday, racked by a deep injury crisis and a faltering Serie A title defence. Sat just inside the elimination zone on only eight points from seven matches after last week's miserable 1-1 draw at Copenhagen, Napoli must beat Chelsea to scrape a place in next month's playoffs. That will be no easy task with Chelsea, Antonio Conte's former club, needing a win to stay in the top eight and bag direct qualification for the last 16.

Until a few months ago, I would have answered Granit Xhaka,

I want to be at Barça, it has always been my priority. The issue [of the new contract] is going well. There are some things left, but I intend to be at Barça, which is the most important thing for me. The truth is that I hope it will be done soon. I'm very happy. I have improved a lot since last year, I have matured.

I think sometimes with the more dynamic, transitional games we face against teams from England, we are very used to that,

From the prestige of Europe's elite stadiums to the gritty history of the FA Cup, there is plenty here to keep your brain ticking over. We'll start with a look at the modern giants of London. We want to see if you can name whether these 20 players played for Arsenal, Chelsea, both or neither. This isn't just a test of the high-profile cross-city moves, but a challenge to remember those fleeting stints that might have slipped under your radar over the years.

A good coach is someone who learns something new every year, regardless of whether we win or lose. We're in a good position right now; it's all about the details. We simply want to be competitive. We want to prepare well for the matches where trophies are at stake, where it's about going through or being eliminated. In those moments, we have to have the big players fit because they're the ones who decide the games for us.

That said, Lennart Karl has been scoring at a similar rate in his young Champions League career so far, with three goals in five outings. The 17-year-old attacker is now on the verge of another milestone: should he feature on Wednesday, it will be his sixth Champions League appearance before his 18th birthday. That would draw him level with Julian Draxler in this statistic, with only Youssoufa Moukoko having made more appearances in Europe's elite competition before turning 18 (eight).

Real Madrid will aim to leapfrog Barcelona and at least temporarily go top of LaLiga with victory at Villarreal. Los Blancos turned on the style in midweek as they thrashed Monaco 6-1 in the Champions League. They will aim to maintain that momentum in LaLiga and pile the pressure on Barcelona, who surprisingly lost to Real Sociedad in their last league encounter.

The goal is always to win every game. Every game in the Bundesliga is complicated. We didn't manage to give 100 percent on the pitch today. Augsburg, on the other hand, did. Accordingly, they deserved to win and we have to congratulate them. We have to push ourselves to the limit in every game, which we didn't do today. We are, of course, in an intense period and have players out injured,

The 34-year-old, who was a substitute in their 1-1 draw with Galatasaray on Wednesday, sustained the injury in training as Atleti prepare to host Mallorca in LaLiga on Sunday. Griezmann has scored six goals in 20 Spanish top-flight matches this season, while he has directly contributed to three goals in the Champions League this term (one goal, two assists). The club revealed in a statement that the Frenchman underwent an MRI scan but did not disclose the length of the injury.
