• Winger also a doubt for British Lions’ tour of Australia
• Feyi-Waboso finally had shoulder surgery after delay

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has finally undergone shoulder surgery, leaving his hopes of being in contention for this summer’s British & Irish Lions tour of Australia in the balance and ruling him out of England’s entire Six Nations campaign.

The 22-year-old sustained a dislocated shoulder in December and the confusion as to how best to treat the injury has dragged on for two months. He is one of 17 England players who were awarded enhanced contracts in October, which give Steve Borthwick the “final say” on all sports science matters.

Pep Guardiola had asked his players to at least give the Santiago Bernabéu a fright; instead, they were the ones exposed to a terrifying truth, ­wearing a haunted, hollow look.

It is not just a Champions League campaign that is over, a Kylian Mbappé hat-trick ­sending Real Madrid through here; on the ­evidence of another dark night in this strangest of seasons, it is ­Manchester City. The side that Guardiola said was a machine for eight years is no more, small wonder he admitted he was lying when he gave them a 1% chance of going through: it was not even that high.

Arne Slot may find it difficult to decipher and digest a draw that ultimately tightens their grip at the top. Given how close Donyell Malen came to snatching a 95th‑minute winner, though, perhaps it will be easy enough. Trent Alexander‑Arnold rattled in a second-half equaliser to maintain Liverpool’s unbeaten away record in the league but a point was a frustrating takeaway given Darwin Núñez missed a glaring chance to put his side 3-2 up.

How much encouragement will this result give Arsenal, eight points behind the leaders with a game in hand? Diogo Jota also missed a brilliant chance for Liverpool, who seized the lead through Mohamed Salah, before goals by Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins put Villa – for whom Marcus Rashford made his first start since joining on loan from Manchester United – in front at the interval.

• Individual ejected during match against Muchova
• LTA plan ‘extensive security arrangements’ at Queen’s

Emma Raducanu has insisted “I’ll be OK” after the behaviour of a male spectator caused the British tennis star to pause a match in tears and raised again the issue of security for female athletes.

The 22-year-old spoke of the “difficult experience” she endured during her Dubai Tennis Championships match against Karolina Muchova on Tuesday night, when she was forced to alert officials mid-match to the presence of an individual in the stands who had accosted her earlier in the tournament.

As Riyadh becomes the de facto home of big-time boxing, concerns grow over the dwindling presence of major women’s bouts

On Saturday night in Riyadh, an evening of boxing dubbed as the “Fight Card of the Century” will take centre stage inside the 15-month-old Kingdom Arena. Headlining is the undisputed championship light-heavyweight rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, supported chiefly by the IBF heavyweight title contest involving Great Britain’s Daniel Dubois and the New Zealander Joseph Parker.

There are five other bouts – including an all-British light‑heavyweight fight between Joshua Buatsi and Callum Smith – but all of them will be contested by men, raising concern among a number of prominent voices in women’s boxing.

If Bayern Munich are heavily incentivised by the return of the Champions League final to their home stadium, this was a strange way of showing it. To Celtic, all the plaudits following a heroic showing in Bavaria.

This Celtic performance ranks among the finest by a Scottish team away from home in Europe in living memory. Extra-time felt the least they deserved after taking a second‑half lead. They were denied by a horrible, scrappy goal claimed by Alphonso Davies after a Cameron Carter-Vickers clearance flew back off him from all of two yards. Just 30 seconds of stoppage time remained. Celtic have grown in this Champions League. In Munich, they came of age. This outcome was so cruel on them.

• British player suffers in hard-fought 7-6 (6), 6-4 defeat
• Coco Gauff loses in straight sets to McCartney Kessler

An emotional Emma Raducanu was knocked out of the Dubai Tennis Championships by Karolina Muchova in a hard-fought second-round showdown.

The 22-year-old fought back from a dreadful start to take the first set to a tie-break, but ultimately went down 7-6 (6), 6-4 against the 14th seed to miss out on a last-16 clash with the American McCartney Kessler, who had earlier dumped Coco Gauff, the world No 3, out of the tournament.

• Manager backtracks on Champions League playoff claim
• Guardiola: ‘at the least, we have to give them a fright’

Pep Guardiola admitted he “lied” after Manchester City lost the first leg of their Champions League ­playoff against Real Madrid and that their chances of going through are better than the 1% he gave them that night. However, he conceded that the situation is still not ideal and his team will need an “almost perfect” performance at the Santiago Bernabéu to progress. “At the least,” the City manager said, “we have to give them a fright”.

Asked about Jude Bellingham’s sending-off on Saturday, the mana­ger revealed that after eight years in England “I still haven’t worked out the difference between fuck off and fuck you – but what ­matters is the intention, not the insult [itself]”.

• World champion unhappy with irrelevant crackdown
• George Russell not on speaking terms with Dutchman

Max Verstappen has accused the Formula One governing body, the FIA, of failing to focus on the issues that matter after what he believes is an irrelevant crackdown on swearing.

The FIA recently announced rule amendments that will impose heavy fines for swearing and may even lead to race bans. Verstappen fell foul of the rules last season when he was given a community service punishment for swearing in a press conference.
