Fans online have been left stunned after Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku accidentally blocked an effort at goal off the line in the Champions League final.

Last night's Champions League encounter between AC Milan and Inter Milan was a truly special occasion.A big European semi-final is always going to be, yet when it's played between two fierce rivals who play in the same stadium, it's always going to elevate the significance.Neither team were able to prevent Napoli from securing a historic Serie A title but Milan were on hand to beat them in the Champions League semi-finals.Sadly for them, it's unlikely they'll be in the final after Inter won the first leg 2-0.It was a night that quite rightly warranted special attention from broadcasters, no less so than at CBS where Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher were all on top form as usual.Among the hilarity of an interview with Paolo Maldini, there were moments of more serious debate, even if a certain Henry did have to be dressed in a crown and a robe for that to occur.In a segment post-match, the Arsenal great was coronated as the CBS king for the day, and as such, had the freedom to pick five new rules he'd like to see in football.

CBS' coverage of major nights in the Champions League are always terrific viewing.With Kate Abdo as host, she is traditionally joined by one of the best forwards we've ever seen in the shape of Thierry Henry, alongside defensive stalwarts Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards.Together they combine to make golden television with Richards often the one who is poked at with fun. As ever, Henry will ooze class and Carragher will always guarantee an interesting debate.Although their punditry is excellent, it's often the extra activities they get up to on the show that causes most hilarity.As the panel previewed the Milan derby, a game that Inter won 2-0, football great Paolo Maldini joined the crew pitch side with Peter Schmeichel at the San Siro.

After squandering a two-goal advantage to slump to a chastening 5-2 defeat at Anfield against Real Madrid three weeks ago, Liverpool's prestigious European history and Champions League exploits under the tutelage of Jurgen Klopp left the devoting fanbase with a sliver of hope; a flame, refusing to quench at the heart of the storm.The fire in the Reds' bellies was extinguished this time, however, with Liverpool's struggling season compounded by the tame and tepid performance at the Santiago Bernabeu.So often under Klopp's reign at the club has the city of Madrid been the crux of the European struggles - Liverpool did win the 2018/19 Champions League, the first major honour under the German manager - but have since fallen by the hand of Atletico Madrid in the ensuing campaign, now knocked out by Los Blancos for three successive seasons.Karim Benzema scored the solitary goal of the affair in Spain, capitalising on some questionable Reds defending as the game approached the closing stage, ending the already infinitesimal chance of a historic upset.For the majority of the second leg, it was a competitive affair that might've even been labelled enthralling had the aggregate score been level, both sides threatening, but with Carlo Ancelotti's holding champions always looking the sharper, the deadlier, the higher in quality, bolstered by their lead, Liverpool came up short.

When Victor Osimhen takes to the pitch, Victor Osimhen scores goals. The competition doesn't matter, the stadium doesn't matter, the opposition don't matter either.The Nigerian has quickly become one of the globe's best strikers and indeed one of most highly sought-after players in the whole of Europe.He has been simply devastating for Napoli and in their Champions League win over Frankfurt on Wednesday evening, bagged twice to send the Italian side into the quarter-finals.That was a landmark moment for several reasons.Firstly, it marks the first time three Italian teams reached the last eight of Europe's premier competition since 2006.It is the first time the Naples outfit have ever reached that stage of the campaign too. That is a remarkable achievement, particularly when you consider they once had the late great Diego Maradona in their ranks.However, not even the Argentine would take them this far in the tournament, with Osimhen now beginning to surpass certain elements of the great forward's legacy at a club where the stadium is now fondly named after him.As the current Napoli attacker once alluded to, Maradona's legacy is impossible to match up to, but the 24-year-old is certainly doing all he can to catch a man he labelled as a "Demigod".Fans will stand to applaud his talent and why wouldn't you? His brace in a 3-0 win on Wednesday took him to 23 goals in 28 outings.These were two of his most pivotal strikes yet, though, scoring a remarkable header before an easier strike from close range followed.So good was his performance that plenty took to social media in order to praise him. You can see the best of the reaction below.

As Liverpool headed to the Bernabeu on Wednesday evening to face Real Madrid, they did so with only a glimmer of hope.The chances of overturning a 5-2 deficit against the most successful team in the competition's history was always going to be a tall order, and that it was, as Jurgen Klopp's men lost 1-0 on the night.Typically, it was Karim Benzema who found the net on an evening where the Reds never really got going.Mohamed Salah was guilty of rare errant passes in the final third, the midfield looked as toothless as it has all campaign and Trent Alexander-Arnold was cooked by Vinicius Jr on the right flank.The defeat meant that any hope of winning a trophy has now disappeared. Considering how the last few years has played out at Anfield, that is a particular surprise.Klopp and co now need to turn their attention to the summer and a transfer window that will be decisive in how they bounce back in 2023/24.One man who could well leave the club during that period is Fabio Carvalho. The former Fulham man looked capable of magic moments in his early days in Merseyside but has barely featured of late, playing just two minutes of Premier League football following the World Cup.He was then given a matter of seconds in Madrid on Wednesday as Klopp threw him into the action in the dying embers, quite literally. There was only around nine seconds left when the youngster was introduced into the fray.It was a truly bizarre substitution and one that drew plenty of reaction on social media, the best of which can be found below.

Last night the Champions League well and truly delivered.Manchester City battered Leipzig 7-0 with Erling Haaland scoring a remarkable five-goal haul at the Etihad.That took him to 39 goals for the season in 36 matches with the Norwegian breaking a record in the process.The attacker broke the Citizens' single-season scoring record, but there were headlines elsewhere.In the other game on the night Inter Milan drew 0-0 with Porto. That doesn’t exactly sound like a thriller, right? Well, think again.It was a game of high stakes with the Italian giants taking a slender 1-0 lead into the second leg.However, the game was nearly forced into extra time in the dying embers when a chaotic last couple of minutes played out.Deep into injury time, Porto had a shot cleared off the line before two opportunities fell the way of striker Mehdi Taremi in the same phase of play.The Iranian first hit the post before seconds later from the follow up cross, he saw a header rattle the cross bar after beating the goalkeeper all ends up.He slumped to the deck in disbelief at what had just played out, with misfortune striking the hosts in a quite frankly unbelievable way.
