Chelsea's hopes of maintaining interest in a woeful season always looked slender after losing last week in the Bernabeu and Rodrygo put them out of their misery with two second-half goals to confirm Real's superiority with a 4-0 aggregate win.
* AC Milan reached the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since they won the trophy 16 years ago thanks to a first-half goal from Olivier Giroud at Napoli that secured a 1-1 draw and 2-1 aggregate win despite a barrage of pressure on Tuesday.
* Premier League champions Manchester City are submitting plans to increase the capacity of their Etihad Stadium from its current 53,500 to 60,000, the club said on Tuesday (Apr 18). An expanded North Stand will be part of a range of upgrades including in and around the stadium, including a 3,000-capacity covered Fan Zone, a sky bar, 400-bed hotel and new museum.
* The ticket allocation for next month's Women's FA Cup final at Wembley is crazy, Manchester United manager Marc Skinner said, as his side and opponents Chelsea received no more than 8,000 tickets each. United, who made the final of a major tournament for the first time, will meet defending champions Chelsea on May 14 in a game that is set to break the domestic attendance record after last year's final was played in front of 49,094 fans.
* Serie A club AS Roma on Tuesday named former Olympiakos Piraeus CEO Lina Souloukou as their new Chief Executive Officer and General Manager, effective immediately. Her appointment came a day after Roma sacked their previous CEO Pietro Berardi, due to reported disagreements between him and the club's ownership.
