Mourinho‚ who has been managing Benfica in his native Portugal this summer‚ is making a controversial return to the Bernabeu - despite the protests of his former player and club legend Iker Casillas. The former Chelsea and Manchester United manager‚ 63‚ steps into a crisis club after a season clouded by players fighting each other‚ an early Champions League exit and Barcelona steaming to the LaLiga title.
CRAIG HOPE: The Hammers now know that rivals Tottenham need just a point to all but confirm their relegation‚ and that could come as soon as Tuesday night at Chelsea. Nuno got his tactics and selection wrong at St James' Park and abandoned a 3-4-2-1 system after just 25 minutes‚ by which point West Ham were 2-0 down. The Portuguese now appears all but resigned to the drop.

Cristiano Ronaldo's former teammate reveals 3 reasons why the Portuguese star can still succeed in the Champions
Ronaldo‚ 41‚ has been praised for his longevity as he continues to play football into the fifth decade of his life‚ with the veteran primed to lead the line for a Portugal team hopeful of success at the World Cup this summer. He has received high praise for his ripped physique over the years. In February‚ posting to his 671million Instagram followers‚ Ronaldo captioned the snap: 'Longevity and high performance don't happen by chance. They're built through daily‚ practical recovery. It's not a secret. It's a routine.' Now‚ his former chef has revealed his secret is the absence of the drink - because he doesn't think it's natural for humans to drink it.
The French star‚ who rejoined United in a then world-record deal worth £89million in 2016‚ was involved in several public bust-ups with Mourinho before the Portuguese was sacked in December 2018. Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast‚ Pogba‚ now at Monaco after returning to football following an 18-month doping ban‚ claims problems between the pair began with his injury issues.
FC PORTO 1-1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST‚ FIRST LEG: Nottingham Forest's Europa League campaign was kept alive thanks to one of the strangest own goals in recent memory from Porto defender Martim Fernandes. A much-changed Forest side‚ who made no apology for the fact they are prioritising Sunday's crucial Premier League game against Aston Villa‚ struggled in the early stages in Portugal as Porto swarmed all over them‚ taking the lead deservedly 11 minutes in through William Gomes. While Forest heads were still spinning‚ Fernandes‚ under absolutely no pressure‚ attempted a pass back to his goalkeeper‚ only to drill it way beyond him and into the back of the net.
Arsenal have travelled to Portugal with the aim of keeping their Champions League dream alive‚ after Mikel Arteta's side endured back-to-back disappointments in domestic cup competitions. The Gunners were hoping to respond to their Carabao Cup final defeat in the FA Cup on Saturday‚ but were stunningly beaten 2-1 by Championship side Southampton in the last eight. Defeat has piled more pressure onto their Champions League campaign‚ with Arteta's side hoping to maintain their unbeaten record in this season's competition when they face Sporting Lisbon.
If Arsenal want to win the Champions League‚ they will first have to silence a man generating a volcanic level of noise in the Iberian Peninsula. Sporting Lisbon may look the easiest possible quarter-final opponents on paper but they have in their ranks a man who can't stop scoring: a certain Luis Suarez. No‚ not the biter. This one is 28‚ Colombian‚ and has 33 goals to his name this season across all competitions. That's three more than Erling Haaland. Most of those are in a weaker league‚ granted‚ but he's already proven he can spear European heavyweights. In January he struck twice to sink Paris Saint-Germain . 'Football is s***‚' declared PSG boss Luis Enrique after Suarez's 90th-minute winner. There is a real chance of Suarez knocking Arsenal out. It's not the most probable eventuality‚ but don't write his Portuguese team off. This is‚ after all‚ a side which has beaten PSG‚ Manchester City‚ Tottenham‚ and even Arsenal themselves in recent seasons - Sporting beat them on penalties in the Europa League last 16 in 2023.
Pep Lijnders has confirmed that Bernardo Silva will leave Manchester City this summer and hopes the captain is afforded a deserving farewell.
