Sancho (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/jadon-sancho/), 24, played a starring role in the first leg as he gained a host of plaudits for his performance. He was subbed off in the 67th minute at the Parc des Princes with Borussia Dortmund in full control of the tie. With Dortmund in the final, Sancho is the first Manchester United (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1196656/manchester-united/) player to reach the Champions League (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/champions-league/) final since Fergie left the club. He was the second player to make it to the semi-finals as Javier Hernandez (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/javier-hernandez/) managed the same feat while out on loan at Real Madrid in 2015. The Mexican striker was unable to make it to the final as Real were knocked out by Italian giants Juventus (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/team/1362318/juventus/). Sancho joined Dortmund on loan in January after he had been exiled from the first-team by Erik ten Hag (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/erik-ten-hag/). The winger was forced to train away from the first team (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/23956964/man-utd-banish-sancho-training-blunt-statement/) after publicly falling out with the manager. CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS (https://www.thesun.co.uk/betting/21097803/casino-welcome-bonus/) Having not played for the club since August, he joined Dortmund until the end of the season during the winter transfer window. Since his move, Sancho has scored three goals and provided two assists in 18 appearances for Dortmund. In celebration of making it to the final, Dortmund posted on to the club’s official Instagram (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/instagram/) account. It shared a picture of Sancho celebrating the victory with American rapper Draker superimposed on it. In the clip, Drake (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/drake/) says: “To the rest of you, the non-believers, the under-achievers, the tweet and deleters… You guys make me sick to my stomach.” Sancho responded to the post, as he wrote: “LOL FACTS.” (https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ac-most-expensive-transfers-table.jpg)Chelsea made two of the biggest transfers ever in January 2023

Red-faced driver facing huge insurance bill after reversing VW over a £210,000 Aston Martin supercar THE red-faced driver of a nine-year-old VW is facing a huge insurance bill – after reversing his car over a £210,000 Aston Martin supercar. The bungling driver of the grey 2015 VW (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/volkswagen/) Tiguan, which is worth around £10,000 today, lost control of their car, landing on top of the Aston Martin (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/aston-martin/) DBS parked outside a dealership in Wilmslow, Cheshire (https://www.thesun.co.uk/where/cheshire/). Eamonn and James ClarkeA VW driver was left red-faced after reversing over a £210,000 Aston Martin[/caption] Eamonn and James ClarkeThey’ve now reportedly been left with a ‘hefty insurance bill’[/caption] Shocked staff at the dealership, which is popular with Premier League (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/premierleague/) stars, came rushing out to see what happened on Tuesday morning. The two-door 2023 coupe, which is up for sale for £209,900, boasts a V12 engine, metallic blue paint job, body styling kit and has just 542 miles on the clock. The impressive Aston can also hit 60mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 211mph. But the luxury motor (https://www.thesun.co.uk/topic/luxury-cars/) might now need a bit of a facelift, with damages likely to run into the tens of thousands. One onlooker who saw the scene told The Sun: “It’s not clear exactly what happened but the driver of the VW somehow lost control, mounted the pavement and a small wall and the car’s back end landed right on the bumper of the Aston Martin. “It was a classic case of ‘you can’t park there (https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/20351642/watch-as-driver-stops-to-offer-advice-crashed-car/) mate’. “There was shards of glass and metal and the floor so it must have done quite a bit of damage. “The driver will have been pretty embarrassed because dealership staff came running out to see what happened and people on the street started gawking and taking photos. “The Tiguan driver wasn’t injured but they face a pretty hefty insurance bill.” The Stratstone Aston Martin dealership was once crowned the biggest-selling Aston dealership in the world with clients including former Man Utd ace Wayne Rooney (https://www.thesun.co.uk/who/wayne-rooney/). It comes after a £1.3 million McLaren Senna that was crashed by an idiotic YouTuber (https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/27787157/mclaren-senna-supercar-crashed-youtuber-auction/) went up for auction.

Andy Murray set for injury return at Geneva Open Andy Murray has been sidelined since March (Photo by Frey/TPN/Getty Images) Andy Murray will make his return from injury at the Geneva Open after being awarded one of three wildcard spots in Switzerland. The 36-year-old has been sidelined since March, when he damaged ankle ligaments in a third round defeat to Tomas Machac at the Miami Open. There were initial fears that the injury would be severe enough to force Murray into retirement, but he allayed those fears in April. The Scot has regularly hinted at retirement over the last 12 months but he’s determined to play again at Wimbledon and in this summer’s Olympics (https://metro.co.uk/tag/olympics/?ico=auto_link_sport_P4_LNK1). It was announced on Wednesday morning that Murray was given a wildcard for the ATP tournament in Geneva, starting on May 18th. It would suggest Murray’s building towards playing at the French Open. The Scot last competed at Rolland Garros in 2020, which was his first appearance in Paris since 2017. Murray, the former world number one, is currently ranked 77th in the world.
