Holders Manchester City and Real Madrid shared six goals in a thriller to leave their Champions League quarter-final evenly poised after the first leg at the Bernabeu. Pep Guardiola's side took the lead in the second minute when Bernardo Silva cleverly snuck a 25-yard free-kick round the wall past goalkeeper Andriy Lunin. Two deflected strikes brought 14-time European Cup winners Madrid level. First Eduardo Camavinga's long-range effort hit Ruben Dias and spun into the far corner of Stefan Ortega's goal, before Rodrygo got in behind the City defence and poked home via Manuel Akanji's heel. City were dominant in possession throughout under the closed roof of the Bernabeu but lacked quality in the final third - until Phil Foden stepped up. The England midfielder had been on the periphery of the game but found space just outside the area to turn and fire into the top corner to pull City level. Moments later left-back Josko Gvardiol cut in and found the far corner with a superb right-foot shot to score his first goal since joining City from RB Leipzig in the summer. However, Madrid equalised with a stunning volley from Federico Valverde to set up an intriguing second leg on Wednesday, 17 April at Etihad Stadium, where City beat Madrid 4-0 in last season's semi-finals. There was late concern for City though, with Foden hobbling after a late tackle on his ankle. Foden allayed fears of a serious injury, telling TNT Sports he had a "bad dead leg" and was hopeful of being fit for Saturday's Premier League home game against Luton.

A Spanish tennis player has been banned from the sport until 2039 after admitting to 35 corruption charges. Aaron Cortes, 29, fixed the outcome of matches for money, bet on tennis, failed to report corrupt approaches and gave money to tournament officials in exchange for a wildcard, said the International Tennis Integrity Agency. It gave him a 15-year ban and fined him $75,000, of which $56,250 is suspended. The offences took place between 2016 and 2018. The ITIA was set up to safeguard the integrity of professional tennis worldwide. It said Cortes, who reached a career-high singles ranking of 955, "co-operated fully with the ITIA investigation and accepted an agreed sanction". He is banned from playing in, coaching at, or attending any tennis event authorised or sanctioned by the Association of Tennis Professionals, International Tennis Federation, Women's Tennis Association, or any national association.

Arsenal 2-2 Bayern Munich: Both sides controversially denied penalties in Champions League draw It was honours even on a memorable night of Champions League action at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday as Arsenal's quarter-final first leg against Bayern Munich ended 2-2 - but can both sides feel aggrieved at having penalty shouts go against them? The Gunners had fought back from 2-1 down to level through substitute Leandro Trossard but, deep in stoppage time, Bukayo Saka went down under Manuel Neuer's challenge inside the box. The home fans screamed for a penalty but all appeals were waved away by referee Glenn Nyberg, who blew the final whistle soon after to a chorus of boos. "It looked like a penalty to me, it looked like clear contact," Trossard told TNT Sports. Former Tottenham striker Harry Kane scored a penalty in the first half to put Bayern ahead, but manager Thomas Tuchel revealed after the game that he felt his side should have been awarded another spot-kick. It related to a bizarre incident in which he felt Gabriel handled the ball after an Arsenal goal-kick had been taken. "The referee did not have the courage today to give us a deserved penalty, in a bit of a crazy and awkward situation," he said. "What makes us really angry is the explanation on the field. He told our players that it's a kid's mistake and he will not give a penalty like this in a quarter-final." So who should feel the most aggrieved? Kane scores as Arsenal draw with Bayern Munich Football Daily: Arsenal and Manchester City in Champions League thrillers 'Disbelief' Arsenal did not get a penalty Deep in stoppage time, Saka looked set to win the quarter-final first leg in dramatic fashion as he raced into the box and sidestepped the onrushing Neuer, but he went down after contact with the Bayern Munich goalkeeper's right leg.

The sun was low in the sky and the shadows lengthening from the towering Augusta pine trees as Canadian Mike Weir approached his ball on the 10th fairway. Len Mattiace, his opponent in a sudden-death play-off, was in a spot of bother off the green. To all but secure the coveted Masters green jacket, Weir just had to hit the green with his approach shot. A life-changing victory rested on a couple of degrees of direction and a few pounds of pressure on the club face. The slightest waver in concentration, though, and it could be all over. The chance to land a first major may never come around again. The tension was huge. But some of the talk that had got him there was decidedly small. Caddie Brennan Little had lightened the mood around the Augusta National by chatting to Weir about the stars of WWE wrestling. Being a caddie is a lot more than carrying clubs - you are a confidant, coach, walking database, psychiatrist, the furthest inside the ropes and in the midst of the action. It is a sporting role like no other. Little grew up in southern Canada near Toronto with the dream of becoming a major champion himself. As a young prospect, he played with and against Weir before realising that he may need to go down a different route to his best friend to taste success at the highest level. "I played some professional golf, but my career ended in 1998. I just wasn't playing very well and I wasn't getting any better," Little tells BBC Sport. "Mike had gotten his tour card and I started as his caddie in 1999 thinking I would do it for a little bit. I have been caddying ever since. "It is just kind of one of them things that happened. I just fell into it." Like with all best friends, shared laughter is the sound of memories being made. For Little and Weir, it is no different. Both shared a love for family and sport, with Little often poking fun at Weir for his lack of knowledge on WWE. FULL STORY
