PSG defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash this morning.

The match looked likely to end in frustration for the French side after Lionel Messi missed a penalty in the 62nd minute, but teammate Kylian Mbappe managed to slot in a stoppage-time winner.

Thirteen-time winners Real will have a chance to redeem themselves in the second leg next month.

Manchester United are back in the EPL top four after a 2-0 win over Brighton this morning.

Bruno Fernandes sealed the win with an injury-time strike, but it was Cristiano Ronaldo who kicked things off earlier in the second half.

This marked Ronaldo’s first goal in six matches, and also means the Portuguese star has scored at least once every single calendar year since 2002.

The national women’s badminton team fought back from two games down to defeat Japan 3-2 in their Badminton Asia Team Championships clash yesterday.
