A night that Antonin Kinsky and Tottenham Hotspur will be desperate to forget. Spurs lose six consecutive games for the first time in their entire history, as Igor Tudor loses his fourth game in a row. Julian Alvarez was the star of the show for Atleti, who have still never lost a Champions League knockout game at home under Diego Simeone.

Mohamed Salah’s goal against Wolves was his 254th in a Liverpool shirt. Wayne Rooney, Manchester United’s all-time top scorer, scored 253 goals for the Old Trafford outfit.

Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover’s contract with the club contains a bonus clause for goals from dead-ball situations. When Mikel Arteta signed his last contract with Arsenal in September 2024, the club then had to embark on independent contract negotiations with his coaching staff including Jover, assistant Albert Stuivenberg and goalkeeper coach Inaki Cana. The deals were ratified in 2025, and match Arteta’s in running until 2027 with the process led by then managing director, Richard Garlick and interim sporting director Jason Ayto. Jover — whose expertise at set-pieces has attracted interest from elsewhere — held a strong hand in negotiations. Ultimately the agreement reached ensured the 44-year-old would be rewarded for goals Arsenal scored from set-piece situations. @gunnerblog 🔗
