    Barcelona have gone from strength to strength in all competitions since the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi finals.

    In the month since they've won six games in a row, scoring 19 goals and conceding just four.

    They blew Benfica away to reach the last eight of the Champions League and have amassed a nine point lead over bitter rivals Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.

    Having already won the Spanish Super Cup against Los Blancos in January, Hansi Flick's side remain in the hunt for a Quadruple come the end of the campaign.

    Cannes 0-1 Reims

    Over in France, top-flight side Reims have taken the lead against their fourth-tier opponents after 14 minutes through 19-year-old Ibrahim Hafiz Umar.

    There's still plenty of time to go, but what was already a difficult task for Cannes has just got a lot harder.

    Tammy Abraham denies Inter's Stefan de Vrij an opening goal - the Dutch defender almost had an empty net to nod into from a free-kick, but English striker Abraham is on hand to head it behind to safety.

    Inter have had the better of the chances in the opening 20 minutes.

    It's been a tough few weeks for Diego Simeone and his Atletico Madrid players since they pulled off that late fightback against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey semi final first leg.

    They were dumped out of the Champions League on penalties by neighbours Real Madrid and have fallen into third in the title race, nine points adrift of leaders Barcelona.

    The Copa del Rey is now their only realistic chance at securing silverware this season.

  6. End to end stuff in Istanbulpublished at 20:14 British Summer Time 2 April

    Fenerbahce 1-2 Galatasaray

    With the scoreline so tight you'd think this derby game would be cagey. In actual fact, it's been anything but. Both sides are going all out to get that crucial next goal.

    Galatasaray went close through Gabriel Sara minutes ago, but he was denied by a sweeping save from Irfan Egribayat.

    Fenerbahce then broke immediately but miscommunication between Talisca and Youssef En-Nesyri gave Galatasaray a chance to clear.

    Inter almost strike first!

    A corner from the left causes problems, it's not quite cleared and Joaquin Correa fires a stinging low shot from the edge of the box which Mike Maignan keeps out.

    The two teams are on their way out of the tunnel and onto the field.

    Of course, these two clubs both play their home fixtures at the San Siro. AC Milan are this evening's designated home team.

    The second leg of this tie will take place on Tuesday, 23 April, with the winner facing either Bologna or Empoli in the final in May.

    Bologna will take a 3-0 lead into the home leg of their semi-final on Wednesday, 24 April.

  12. Stuttgart take early leadpublished at 19:55 British Summer Time 2 April

    We have a goal already!

    It's taken Stuttgart just five minutes to open the scoring in Germany through Angelo Stiller. That's the midfielder's first goal in the competition this season.

    Inter may be leading the way in Serie A but it's AC Milan who have had the better of the three fixtures between the clubs so far this season.

    Matteo Gabbia headed a late winner for Milan in the first league meeting in September and they were on course to complete a league double in February, but Stefan de Vrij scored a stoppage-time equaliser to earn Inter a 1-1 draw.

    The sides also met in the Italian Super Cup final in January. Milan came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in Riyadh, with ex-Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham netting the winning goal in stoppage time.

    Fabio Paratici is in talks with AC Milan over becoming their new sporting director, in a move that would end his ties with Tottenham.

    The Italian administrator, who left his role as Spurs' managing director of football in April 2023 after being banned by world governing body Fifa - following an investigation into financial irregularities during his time at Juventus - is free to return to work in the summer when his suspension ends.

    Sources close to Paratici have told BBC Sport the 52-year-old is in contact with AC Milan over becoming their new sporting director.

    Despite leaving his role at Tottenham, Paratici has continued to have a presence at the Premier League club.

    He is a consultant for the club and has been a regular at Tottenham's home games, while recent reports have stated the north London club were looking to rehire him.

    However, Paratici - if talks with the San Siro club end successfully - will cut ties with Tottenham as he focuses on his new role.

  16. Can fourth-tier side Cannes make history?published at 19:44 British Summer Time 2 April

    Cannes v Reims (20:00 BST)

    We nearly saw a major upset in France just 24 hours ago when Paris St-Germain fell two goals behind to Ligue 2 side Dunkerque.

    The champions did manage to pull back in the second half to win 4-2, however, we have another chance to witness a Coupe de France upset tonight.

    Fourth-tier side Cannes take on Ligue 1 club Reims in the semi-final, and if Cannes can achieve the unthinkable they will become just the second fourth-tier side in French history to make the Coupe de France final.

    They are yet to face a top-flight side in the competition this season, however, they will have confidence looking at Reims' form.

    Before the weekend, Reims had not picked up three points in the league since November - but they did get back to winning ways against Marseille with a 3-1 victory on Saturday.

    Cannes on the other hand have lost their past two games, but before that enjoyed an unbeaten run of 19 games.

  17. Fenerbahce pull one back before the breakpublished at 19:40 British Summer Time 2 April

    HT: Fenerbahce 1-2 Galatasaray

    Galatasaray have held a comfortable two goal lead for the majority of the first half but just before the interval the hosts got back in it courtesy of Sebastian Szymanski.

    The Poland international was in the right place at the right time to tap home at the back post and give Jose Mourinho's side a lifeline.

    I went to the Milan derby in 2017. Nice game. Milan came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with a 97th minute equaliser. Great atmosphere. Didn't feel threatening. Felt like members of the same family could be supporting different teams - bit like me, my Dad's a blue but I grew up supporting the next Premier League champions. I know he must be so disappointed.

  19. Who will face Arminia Bielefeld?published at 19:33 British Summer Time 2 April

    Stuttgart v RB Leipzig (19:45 BST)

    After last night's giant-killing from third division side Arminia Bielefeld, we now turn to the second semi-final between Stuttgart and RB Leipzig.

    The two sides last met in January with Stuttgart claiming a 2-1 win despite falling behind after 10 minutes.

    The game wasn't without controversy, with RB Leipzig's Lois Openda and goalscorer Benjamin Sesko both sent off towards the end of the game.

    RB Leipzig do sit above their opponents in the league table in sixth, however, they have won just one of their past six Bundesliga games.

    Stuttgart currently sit 11th and are also struggling for league form having failed to win any of their past six games.
