  5. Will Chelsea have to beat Conte's Napoli to reach last 16?published at 22:52 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea

    Having played seven games at the Club World Cup in June and July, Chelsea could really do without having to play in a play-off for the right to make the last 16 of the Champions League.

    They can still qualify automatically but will probably have to win their last two games at home to Pafos and away to Napoli in January.

    Napoli, by the way, are managed by former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

    That could be a huge match in Naples on 28 January.

  6. 'Everton a must-win for Chelsea'published at 22:51 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea

    Joe Cole
    Former Chelsea and England midfielder on TNT Sports

    Chelsea are not just there, they're just not there yet. There are great performances and then there are performances that just fall off.

    There were spells in that game tonight where they looked like a proper outfit and then they're conceding silly goals.

    "And at this level you get punished. Charles De Ketelaere was unplayable at times but from Chelsea's perspective it makes the weekend [Everton at home on Saturday] very important.

    "Four games without a win now, Everton coming to Stamford Bridge. It's a must-win game."

  7. 'If you give a penalty like this, then every contact in the box is a penalty'published at 22:50 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool

    Inter Milan

    Inter midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan, speaking to Amazon Prime: "I think it was a balanced game, no one deserved to win tonight. The best result was a draw. I don't know how they came up with a penalty that never existed but this is football. We are not happy. If you give a penalty like this, then every contact in the box is a penalty.

    On Salah: "Is there a problem? We are here to play our game and try our best. We are trying to prepare the game with or without him.

    "We missed a goal and need to create more chances to score a goal. Liverpool pressed us really well. We created a few chances but Alisson saved. This is football and we accept it."

    So much noise around Liverpool and Mohammed Salah.

    I wonder what he's thinking about everything from back home on Merseyside. He's probably reading this live text, actually.

  9. 'Jones grew up tonight'published at 22:48 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool

    Stephen Warnock
    Former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

    Curtis Jones was absolutely sensational tonight. I thought it was a real mature performance and he actually grew up tonight. I know that sounds really daft because he's already 24, but it was one of the most performances from him tonight.

  10. 'Should the initiative come from him or me? That's another question'published at 22:45 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to Amazon Prime: "We were three points behind Inter and if you want top eight, 15 is the minimum you need. The best you can do is win over here. They have a really good team. But overall, a good performance from us.

    "The midfield is always helping the defence a lot but there was a lot of commitment from the players. We pressed higher in the second half. We decided to keep a plus one in the back. All 11 players came behind the ball to try and make sure we didn't concede. We got a penalty in the end.

    On Mo Salah: "I separate these things. It was really hard for the players to concede in the last minute at Leeds. We hardly conceded a chance and it was really hard to take. That was already emotional and what happened afterwards was emotional. 13 players were available that had Premier League or Champions League experience. You concede and then a lot of things are being said. Normally, that affects players as well because he's been so influential for the club and the players so it's never nice when something happens to their team-mates.

    "It should be about what we've done over here. I fully understand that on Friday, in the press conference, all the questions will be about Mo.

    On questions that face him: "Everyone makes mistakes in life but does the player know he's made a mistake? Should the initiative come from him or me? That's another question. Ibou Konate has had some difficult moments lately but he played an outstanding game.

    "After PSV and Forest games, where we conceded seven goals in two games, it was time for us to concede less and that's what we did against West Ham. Then we played Sunderland and their first chance came in the 86th minute. Their first goal wasn't even a chance and then came Leeds.

    "We showed character in the second half and changed the tactics a little bit.

    How Liverpool can build: "It's mainly video you can use but then we have a week off after Saturday when we go to Tottenham. We have a bit more training time coming up. It's not common in football that you play four games in 10 days and that's what we had to deal with."

  11. 'I liked a lot but we can be better'published at 22:42 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Tottenham 3-0 Slavia Prague

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham boss Thomas Frank speaking in his post-match press conference:

    "Very happy with win, strong position to progress. Just happy to have four days before Forest now."

    On Xavi Simons: "I think he built on a good game on Saturday, produced again. Good link-up play, nice turns in the middle of the pitch and has acceleration to go past a player. I like his work ethic and there was great recovery run on 90 minutes which is crucial for us. I think it was more banter with Cristian [Romero] for the penalty.

    On Son Heung-min return: "Good to see him. Mainly saw him after the game. I'm happy at the well deserved reception he got. A true Tottenham legend returning home."

    On creativity in Son's absence: "Mo [Kudus] at the start of the season did well and then had a dip and now the past three or four weeks he's got fresh energy, acceleration and decisiveness in his actions. Getting more in sync with the team too - all that is important.

    "The way Prague play they will be a threat on transition and you need to close that down. I liked a lot from our performance but I also think we can be much better in the future. Be more in control but we've had four games in not many days."

  12. 'We are playing every two days'published at 22:39 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea

    More from Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, speaking to TNT Sports: "First half we were winning, we were good and controlling the game.

    "After we conceded the first goal, we lost control a little bit of the game.

    "We are playing every two days, two days, two days. For a moment we looked like we struggled a bit. Now it's about trying to win the next game.

    "We were aggressive like them. We had different chances to make it 2-0 and when we conceded 1-1 the dynamic of the game changed a little bit."

  13. 'Between Mo and the club, things are going on'published at 22:36 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Inter Milan 0-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to Amazon Prime: "It's a good feeling of winning. Especially in a period we are in, trying to find consistency and something to build on. Hopefully, tonight is one of those performances. It was always going to be tough. We handled the game well. It could have been a 0-0 game in the end but it ended positively for us in the end.

    "It doesn't change anything. There's obviously so much noise from the outside world, which is normal when you don't perform. It's deserved as well. We want to improve, we want to be consistent and win games. We're not doing it as much as we like. We have to stick together and be a unit as we have been. That's what Liverpool stands for.

    On Mo Salah: "It's difficult but it's a collective difficult situation that we're all in. Between Mo and the club, things are going on and he's not here today, that's the reality. I don't think anything has changed in terms of our focus and determination.

    Should Salah apologise? "I'm not the one to speak if someone has to apologise. It's him airing his feelings for the past couple of days. That's something the club has to deal with, obviously, me as well. The focus was there, nothing else changed. He trained as well.

    "The reality also is that Mo is going to Africa soon. I've known him for such a long time, we are good friends and have been through highs and lows. We speak and those types of things will stay indoors as it should be. We have to brace ourselves and be against the outside noise.

    "The most important thing is that you speak with each other. You have to recover and get back to Brighton already. You have to celebrate good moments and enjoy it otherwise, what's the point of winning? We stay overnight here, we have to sleep well and eat well. We try to never get too high or too low.

    On being solid: "Against Leeds for 60 minutes as well but when you don't win and concede easy goals like we have done. We try to find consistency but we know they are very comfortable on the ball. Everyone put a shift in and run so hard. It could have been 0-0 but we take the three points and move on.

    On VAR decisions: "It goes so fast so I have no idea if it actually hit his arm. When the ref makes a decision like this, it has to be clear and obvious but they're looking for something that could be there. I don't think it's good for the game."

    Clearly Maresca has picked up Guardiola’s ability to tinker too much. Complains of too many games and now we have to play more games through losing this one. We’ve spent so much money but it’s the same mistakes from the same people.

  15. 'We need to learn from this - we're disappointed'published at 22:30 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Atalanta 2-1 Chelsea

    Chelsea

    Chelsea goalscorer Joao Pedro, speaking to TNT Sports: "We are disappointed because we came here to win. We started well, scored first, and we gave chances to the other team. They are a difficult team.

    "We need to go back to England to learn and be ready for the next game. We controlled the game in the first half and we started well. We had a lot of chances to score more.

    "For 10 minutes in the second half - when they scored - they built up power and their fans also helped them. In the Champions League, if you concede one goal, and then another too early, it is difficult to come back.

    "We need to learn. We're disappointed but we have to be focused on the next game."

    Chelsea

    Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, speaking to Uefa: "First half we were controlling the game.

    "After the goal we conceded first one we lost a bit of the control of the game. We are playing every two days and we probably look like we struggle a bit.

    "We just want to win as soon as possible. We tried to be aggressive, when we conceded 1-1 probably the dynamic of the game changed a bit."

    On Joao Pedro: "He is doing well, sometimes he plays as a nine and sometimes behind the nine."

    On Chelsea's dip in form: "I am always worried. Two points in four games is not what we expect and we have to do better."

  17. 'Still aiming for top eight'published at 22:27 GMT 9 December 2025

    FT: Tottenham 3-1 Slavia Prague

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario speaking to TNT Sports:

    "We proved what we can do two days before this game. We did well for 60 minutes but we need a bit more composure across 90 minutes.

    "I had this feeling that if we were a bit more calm this result couold've been better and goal difference is important in this league phase. But we're still aiming for top eight.

    "They had some shots outside the box, they are aggressive, man to man all over the pitch. If you miss a pass or don't win a second ball we are a bit open. Their game is to open up teams.

    "Three good points and we'll see. Two more games to play in the league phase, next round will be tough against Dortmund."

    Shift in momentum? "Probably, I hope so. We are judged every three days and football can change every three days in a good or bad way. We have to keep momentum, you need to have balance when things are going well or bad. If the result is good everyone is happy but we need to stay calm and focussed and try to do our best."

    On fans booing him: "It happens to all professional sports people - when you do good things you ae the best when you make mistakes you are not the best. I'm 29-years-old so I will have a few more years left, I'm happy when the fans cheer for me but I'm aware when I make a mistake or have a good game. I'm just trying to stay balanced, that's my personality.

    "We [Thomas Frank] didn't speak but I know the gaffer is by my side. I can thank him for what he said, it's part of football. I'm a big man and I can handle these things. They are part of the game and we move on."

    I've heard people questioning whether this team is still with the manager. He has not lost the dressing room; they are a together team who have just underperformed in recent weeks.

    Daniel Sturridge
    Former Liverpool striker on Amazon Prime

    As a football club players and staff, you want to move on as quickly as possible. Tonight allows them to do that.

    It's a difficult moment for the team, this hasn't happened in the last four or five years. They will go home feeling proud tonight.

    It's about enjoying tonight, but knowing that there is a massive game at the weekend and there will still be talk if they don't get a result at the weekend.

    Liverpool

    Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson, speaking to Amazon Prime: "Huge result. We knew we were coming to a tough place, to a team that's in a good moment. We had to show fight and dig in. The clean sheet was crucial and then we go and scored the goal.

    "The handball for me, I think it took seven or eight minutes. If you do that, then you have to stick to the on-field decision. You have to stick to the decision. The penalty did look soft but that's given anywhere else on the pitch.

    "We all needed it. We know the results and performances aren't good enough. It's important this club is in the Champions League. It was a huge result for all of us.

    On Salah's situation: "A tough situation. We're talking about one of the greatest players to play for this club. I signed in the same window as him. Whatever has happened, happened. Internally, we're all together.

    On Salah's future: "That'll be up to other people, it's not up to me. I love playing with Mo Salah and I hope to continue playing with him.

    "We know how important being in that top eight is and avoiding a play-off. We got unlucky last season with who we drew."
