Salah escapes red card after horrifying tackle; Tottenham suffers heavy loss

Defeating Man City, Tottenham suffered heavy losses

Against Man City, Tottenham were at an early disadvantage when VAR determined that Danny Rose had handled the ball in the penalty area in the 12th minute. However, the brilliance of goalkeeper Hugo Lloris prevented Sergio Aguero from scoring from the penalty spot. After the escape, Spurs played more impressively and were the team that converted the attacking opportunity into a goal.

In the 80th minute, receiving a pass from Eriksen, Son Heung-min decisively shot the ball past goalkeeper Ederson. Winning 1-0, Tottenham has a slight advantage before the rematch at Etihad Stadium.

However, defeating Man City, Tottenham suffered a heavy loss. Striker Harry Kane could miss the rest of the season after suffering a serious ankle injury in the Champions League clash with Man City.

After the match, Mauricio Pochettino shared: "I'm afraid Kane will be absent for the rest of the season. His condition is not good at all. If you look back at the situation, it seems that Harry Kane has a serious ankle injury and maybe also related to the ligaments. The club doctors will check more in the next few days. It's painful to see that, but what can we do? Hopefully it's not a big problem and Harry Kane returns as soon as possible."

Salah escaped a red card after a terrifying tackle

Liverpool proved too strong for Porto when they won 2-0 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final thanks to first-half goals from Keita and Firmino.

It is worth mentioning that when the match was coming to the final minutes, Salah, in a desperate situation, kicked midfielder Danilo Pereira hard in the shin.

Salah's foul.

Porto's captain was in pain on the pitch but Mohamed Salah did not receive any punishment from the referee. Members of the away team reacted, saying that the referee in black, Antonio Mateu, should consult VAR technology and decide to send off the Egyptian striker.

Reviewing the slow-motion footage, this was the moment Salah deservedly received a red card and missed the second leg of the quarter-final in Portugal. Also in the Anfield clash, referee Mateu missed another important incident when defender Trent Alexander-Arnold handled the ball in the penalty area.

Man City reach agreement with Saul Niguez

Man City are said to have reached personal agreements with Saul Niguez, but it will not be easy for the deal to happen as Atletico will only accept offers of 150 million euros.

According to Don Balon, the Premier League champions have reached all personal agreements with the midfielder, and the rest is to negotiate a transfer fee with Atletico Madrid.

However, there are still difficulties for Man City because Atletico do not want to lose their star player, and in case they are forced to sell, they want to receive the figure of 150 million euros as in the contract release clause.

Saul Niguez is not only a great signing for Man City and Pep Guardiola, but any big team in Europe would want to own him based on what this versatile player has shown at Atletico in the past few seasons.

Ronaldo and Juve on their way to the Netherlands

Cristiano Ronaldo has not played for Juventus since his hat-trick against Atletico Madrid on March 12. The 34-year-old striker returned to serve the Portuguese national team in the EURO 2020 qualifiers, suffered an injury and has been out of action for the past few weeks. Initially, there was information that Ronaldo would not be able to participate in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Ajax, but a few days ago, coach Max Allegri gave fans good news about Ronaldo's condition.

Having recovered faster than expected, Ronaldo was on the Juventus team flight to Amsterdam. The Portuguese star appeared in a relaxed and happy mood in the team photo. Although Ronaldo is a big threat, Ajax coach Erik ten Hag said he was happy that the Juve striker could participate in the match. "It's great to face Ronaldo. We always want to face the best."
