In a semifinal showdown between European heavyweights Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, only one will emerge for a chance at its first UEFA Champions League trophy.

PSG avenged last season's UCL final loss to Bayern Munich by eliminating the German champions, who were without star forward Robert Lewandowski, in the quarterfinals on away goals. Kylian Mbappé rose to the occasion with two stellar goals in the first leg in Munich and will be called upon to add to his eight Champions League goals against a strong City team. 

The 2018 World Cup winner gave PSG fans a scare when he left the weekend win against Metz with a thigh injury, but manager Mauricio Pochettino confirmed on Tuesday that Mbappé will be fit for the first leg in Paris.

In his fifth season in Manchester, Pep Guardiola has led City to only its second-ever UCL semifinal; only Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Agüero and Raheem Sterling remain from the City team that reached the semifinals in 2016.

With the Premier League title in its sights and its fourth straight League Cup secured over the weekend, Man City can become the first English side to win 10 games in a Champions League campaign under the current format with a win Wednesday. With eight victories and one draw, the club has yet to lose this season in Champions League play after dispatching Borussia Dortmund in the quarterfinals.

Ranking the top 80 players in the 2021 NBA draft with the NCAA tournament in the rearview. View the original article to see embedded media. With three months until draft night and the NBA’s regular season winding down , the league at large has begun shifting full focus to the off-season. Players have until May 30 to declare as early entrants for the draft, after which point the predraft process will open up in full, leading up to the combine and lottery at the end of June . Our Big Board is long overdue for an update, and fully expanded out to 80 prospects as we all attempt to make sense of the big picture moving forward. As usual, the Big Board is primarily based on my personal evaluations from both live viewings and on film, in many cases dating back several years. The rankings also incorporate feedback and opinions I glean from NBA executives, scouts, and others around the industry. This is not a mock draft, and team fit is not considered, but it is also intended to be somewhat

New on Sports Illustrated: The Patriots’ Post-Brady Era Begins Now

In Mac Jones, Bill Belichick drafted a Round 1 quarterback for the first time ever—and looks to usher in a return to dominance. Of course the first time Bill Belichick drafts a first-round quarterback, it’s one for whom he could get an unvarnished scouting report from good buddy Nick Saban —and without even having to do any draft-day maneuvering. Now, the post-Tom Brady era in New England really begins. The Patriots treated 2020 as something of a gap year, with a league-high eight opt-outs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a starting quarterback, Cam Newton, who didn't sign with the team until June. They were, for the first time in two decades, mediocre, but that 7–9 record bought them the ticket to a fresh start: the No. 15 pick, which they used Thursday night on Alabama QB Mac Jones. The oft-cited statistic that Belichick had never drafted a QB higher than pick No. 62—used on Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014—was inherently flawed, given that Belichick had Brady as a starter for 19 of
