Juventus 2-1 Borussia Dortmund: Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata seal Wins

Juventus will meet Borussia Dortmund's famous 'yellow wall' in three weeks with a narrow advantage after a tap in a piece from Carlos Tevez and Alvaro Morata saw the Serie A leaders leave this Champions League last 16 tie with a one-goal lead.

Jurgen Klopp's rejuvenated team arrived off the back of three consecutive Bundesliga wins, and a composed first-half finish by Marco Reus means they travel home with an away goal in a 2-1 defeat.

The Italian champions searched for a third in the second half but it was in vain as Juventus must travel to Dortmund for the second leg on March 18 at the Westfalenstadion with the tie in the balance.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
