'Poor miss from Richarlison'published at 20:04 GMT 9 December 2025
Tottenham 0-0 Slavia Prague'
Andy Reid
Former Nottingham Forest midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports ExtraThat's an incredible save, but it's also a poor miss from Richarlison. It's a really poor finish, but a strong start from Tottenham.

Salah has been poor this season. He deserved to be dropped. Saying he's "earned his place" is what annoys me the most. Not how it works, mate. Stevie G got dropped by Brendan R, didn't have a strop. That's a true Red.

Inter Milan 0-0 Liverpool
A decent start for a Liverpool side that all eyes are on.
Hugo Ekitike has set up on the left of the attack but makes a dart into the middle as Alexander Isak looks to find him.
GREAT SAVE!published at 20:02 GMT 9 December 2025
Tottenham 0-0 Slavia Prague
Wow! What a save that is in the opening 45 seconds!
It's really good pressure from Tottenham and Wilson Odobert shifts it across for Richarlison but the Brazilian's effort is tipped over the bar brilliantly by Jindrich Stanek.

Inter Milan 0-0 Liverpool
Aadam Patel
BBC Sport in MilanThe San Siro is an iconic venue and it's familiar ground for Liverpool and the travelling support.
Just over 4,000 Liverpool fans have made the trip over to Italy and they're right up in the gods.
It's Liverpool's fourth visit to the San Siro in the space of four years and they've won on each of the last three occasions.
They could do with carrying on that run tonight.
KICK-OFFpublished at 20:00 GMT 9 December 2025
We're under way at the San Siro, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, New Balance Arena and across the continent.

Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer at Tottenham Hotspur StadiumSon Heung-min has returned to Spurs and what an ovation for a true legend of the club. He did not get the chance to say a proper farewell when he left for Los Angeles FC in the summer, so it is fitting he can do it now.
"I hope you guys don't forget me", is his opening line.
Not much chance of that after 173 goals in 454 games, signing off after finishing as captain when Spurs won the Europa League against Manchester United in Bilbao.
Unless I'm mistaken, he's just invited the Spurs fans to Los Angeles. Hope he's got a big house.
Wonderful player for this football club.

Atalanta v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesDespite playing 18 games in the Champions League as a player, Chelsea's Italy-born boss Enzo Maresca never faced an Italian opponent, although he did make 10 appearances in the competition for Juventus.
Chelsea and Maresca return to Italy at the end of January.
They will hope their place in the last 16 is confirmed by the time they play defending Serie A champions Napoli on 28 January.

Slot's made this about Salah, the whole squad, with the exception of Szoboszlai, have been abysmal yet Salah is the only one repeatedly dropped from the squad. Almost as if he's been singled out by Slot. Time for coaches to start taking the blame for poor decisions and team selections.

Son Heung-min is on the pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and has been speaking to the fans.
"I hope you guys haven't forgotten me. It's been an amazing, incredible 10 years. I just wanted to say thank you, I will always be Spurs, and always with you," he says.
"This will always be my home. I will never forget you. Please stick with me and come visit me in LA any time!
"I love you guys, come on you Spurs!"
What a nice bloke.

Inter Milan v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)

BBC Sport in MilanThe atmosphere is cranking up here at the San Siro. Much of the pre-match focus has been on Mohamed Salah but this is a crucial evening for Liverpool.
With nine points in five games, they're far from guaranteed qualification to the knockout stages yet and with a trip to Marseille coming up in January, victory would certainly calm the nerves.
Chelsea's toughest Euro test?published at 19:51 GMT 9 December 2025
Atalanta v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)
Atalanta
Image source, Getty ImagesThis could well be Chelsea's toughest test in Europe so far this season.
Atalanta, who won the Europa League in 2023-24, might be 12th in Serie A but they're level on 10 points with Chelsea in Europe.
Since losing 4-0 at defending champions Paris St-Germain in September, the team from Lombardy have beaten Club Brugge, Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt.
They're also have one of the meanest defences in the competition after three clean sheets in five game.
Slot says he is not 'weak'published at 19:49 GMT 9 December 2025
Inter Milan v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
Arne Slot's press conference was obviously littered with questions about Mohamed Salah. Here's what the Liverpool boss had to say.
"Usually I am calm and polite, but that doesn't mean I am weak. If a player has these commands about so many things, then it's about me and the club to react. We reacted in a way you can see - he's not here.
"I don't feel my authority is undermined, it is not the way I feel it. After tomorrow we will look at the situation. There is always the possibility to return for a player. I have no clue [if he has played his last game for Liverpool] - I cannot answer that question at this point in time."

Salah's dip in formpublished at 19:47 GMT 9 December 2025
Inter Milan v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
It almost felt as though Mohamed Salah was untouchable for Liverpool last season and they powered their way to a 20th league title.
This season, though, is a completely different story.
Was Arne Slot right to drop the Egyptian?
Salah's stats this seasonpublished at 19:45 GMT 9 December 2025
Inter Milan v Liverpool (20:00 GMT)
Here are the stats behind why Mohamed Salah found himself on the Liverpool bench.
Just four goals in 13 Premier League appearances saw him dropped as Arne Slot looked for the solution to get the Reds back to winning ways.
It didn't quite work out like that.
