Highlights

Real Madrid dispatched Manchester City 3-1 with a Kylian Mbappé hat-trick on Wednesday in their Champions League playoff second leg at a raucous Santiago Bernabeu stadium, earning them a 6-3 aggregate victory and a place in the last 16.

Last year's champions will face either Bayer Leverkusen or city rivals Atletico Madrid, depending on Friday's draw, as they seek a record-extending 16th title.

Mbappé scored his second goal in the 33rd minute with a close-range strike after a humiliating cutback that left defender Josko Gvardiol on the floor.

Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham struck a last-gasp goal to give the holders a 3-2 first-leg victory over Manchester City in an edge-of-your-seat Champions League knockout phase playoff on Tuesday.

Kylian Mbappé and Brahim Diaz also struck for Real, to cancel out a double from City's Erling Haaland.

England international Bellingham scored the winner in the 92nd minute when Vinicius looped the ball over from the left and the Englishman got in front of John Stones to tap home.

The United States U-17 squad set a ridiculous record of 22 goals scored in a single match against the U.S. Virgin Islands in a 22-0 victory on Monday in Concacaf U-17 men's World Cup qualifiers.

The American youngsters had already broke the record for most goals in an Concacaf tournament (youth or senior) in the first half with 14 GOALS. Columbus Crew 2 forward Chase Adams scored seven of the 10 first half goals.

Adams’ first half goals came in the eighth, ninth, 13th, 19th, 31st, 33rd and 38th minutes to pour on the misery.

History was made on Thursday in the Concacaf Champions Cup as Cavalry FC stunned Liga MX giants Pumas 2-1 in a first leg upset. No team from the Canadian Premier League (CPL) had ever defeated a Mexican club before.

In fact, no CPL club had ever won a Concacaf Champions Cup game prior to Thursday night.

Cavalry secured the victory 450 miles away from their usual home ground as the temperatures in Calgary were too cold to host the game. Instead the game was played in Langford, British Columbia.

Cristiano is still "SiUUUU"—ing in his forties.

Cristiano Ronaldo marked another historic milestone in his illustrious career, scoring his first-ever goal as a 40-year-old in Al Nassr's dominant 3-0 victory over Al Fayha in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese legend’s strike came in the 74th minute, showcasing his he's far from being finished despite his recent birthday.

LIVERPOOL — Holders Liverpool punched their return ticket to Wembley and a League Cup final against Newcastle United after a 4-0 rout, and 4-1 aggregate victory, over a toothless Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Thursday.

The runaway favorites took the lead, to overturn a 1-0 first leg deficit against the injury-depleted visitors, when Cody Gakpo fired in a right-foot shot in the 34th minute from a Mohamed Salah cross.

Arsenal's 5-1 thumping of Manchester City at the Emirates on Saturday was a match full of drama, skill, and a little bit of needle — particularly from Gabriel Magalhães, who had some cheeky moments aimed at City striker Erling Haaland.
