A volley from Kingsley Coman gave the German side the advantage as Bayern ran out 1-0 winners in the first leg of the last-16 tie at the Parc des Princes. However, Pavard caused a nervy ending with his challenge as he flew in on Messi, who was running into the box from the right flank in stoppage time.

Manchester’s United win at Leeds was further evidence of the superb man-management of Erik ten Hag, as Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho secured a hard-fought 2-0 win.

Emiliano Martinez rose to fame at the end of the 2019-20 Premier League season. Since 2020, Martinez’s stock has gone only higher. He has achieved telling success as the undisputed number one of Argentina. Emi has also made the bad boy list of soccer fans and the media due to his questionable on and off-the-pitch shenanigans.

Goalkeepers, however, tend to get mature during their 30s, Martinez got his big break, when he…
