Meanwhile, Leicester impressed their new boss with a 2-1 win over Brighton in the Premiership this morning.

Chelsea boss Maurizzio Sarri has yet to decide whether to pick Kepa Arrizabalaga for tomorrow's Premiership encounter with Tottenham.

UEFA have charged Sergio Ramos with deliberately receiving a yellow card, during the first leg of Real Madrid's Champions League last-16 tie against Ajax.

This, after the defender apparently admitted after the match, that he deliberately got himself booked, so that he would be suspended for the second leg...thus freeing him to play in the quarterfinals.

Ramos faces a two-match ban if found guilty.
