    Everton manager Roberto Martinez on knowing a win would help Liverpool's Premier League title hopes: "It is going to be a phenomenal test and we want to finish really strong at home.

    "I always felt the relationship between the two clubs in the city has had incredible chapters and this would be another fascinating chapter. There is no doubt of our integrity - we want to win every game we go into.

    "We are looking at ourselves because these are precious points. We can't afford not to give everything we have. Helping other teams is not the way we do things. We focus on trying to win for ourselves."

    New Zealand's Billy Bowden is restored to the International Cricket Council's elite panel of umpires just a year after being dropped from the list.

    Bowden had been stood down after 10 years because of performance issues, but the chairman of the ICC umpires selection panel, Geoff Allardice, has commended the 51-year-old's "hard work and perseverance" in reasserting himself among the world's leading officials.

    The new list takes effect from 1 July, with Bowden taking the place of his countryman Tony Hill, who has stepped down to coach New Zealand umpires.

    The abiding image of this most painful of defeats was all too familiar for Chelsea fans.

    As the final whistle blew to signal Chelsea's elimination by Atletico Madrid at the semi-final stage of the Champions League, John Terry stood alone in the centre circle, tears running down his cheeks, pain etched on his face.

    Chelsea supporters had long since made for the exits on an evening when they were well beaten - 3-1 on the night and on aggregate - but as Terry stared into the stands it was clear he was considering the fact that, at the age of 33, he may never again play in a Champions League final.

    Ayrton Senna was born on 21 March 1960, the second of three children. He had an older sister Viviane and a younger brother Leonardo.

    He was born into a wealthy family with his father the owner of a car parts firm as well as a soft drinks distribution company and a large cattle farm.

    The family lived in a wealthy part of Sao Paulo but the young Senna suffered from motor coordination problems and was hyperactive and in an effort to aid these issues, his father gave his son his first kart at the age of four. From then on, he never looked back.

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho could be heading towards a second successive trophyless season after his side were knocked out of the Champions League semi-final by Atletico Madrid. The Portuguese failed to lift a major honour with Real Madrid last season and will again finish the campaign empty-handed, unless the Blues earn an unlikely Premier League title.

    So is Mourinho still the special one? Or is his reputation diminishing? Let us know on #bbcsportsday, text 81111 (UK users only) or post on BBC Sport Facebook.

    International Olympic Comittee vice-president John Coates speaks more on his criticism of Rio de Janeiro's Olympic preparations, now insisting the city could deliver an "excellent" Games as he moved to defuse tensions.

    "Following my statements about the upcoming Games in Rio, I want to underline that I still believe that the Rio organising committee and the people of Brazil can indeed deliver an excellent Games in 2016," he said in a statement.

    His toned-down comments come two days after he criticised the preparations as "the worst that I've experienced" in 40 years of being involved with the Olympics.

    Tottenham's England international right-back Kyle Walker could miss the World Cup because of a pelvic injury.

    The 23-year-old, who has won 10 caps, was expected to compete with Liverpool's Glen Johnson for a place in the England team this summer.

    However, he has not played since being injured against Benfica on 13 March. "We haven't been told for certain that he will be out for the next six to 10 weeks but we are concerned," said England manager Roy Hodgson.

    Nigel Mansell says Ayrton Senna would be remembered as a "true thoroughbred racer" as he led tributes on the 20th anniversary of the Brazilian's death.

    Senna, who won three Formula 1 titles, died aged 34 on 1 May 1994 when he crashed his Williams during the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola.

    Former world champion Mansell told BBC Sport: "Ayrton was our toughest rival. He would leave no stone unturned to get the utmost out of his car and his team."

    Chelsea's hopes of reaching a third Champions League final in seven seasons were ended as Atletico Madrid produced a stunning counter-attacking display at Stamford Bridge to set up a final against city rivals Real.

    Jose Mourinho's side went ahead in the tie when Fernando Torres put Chelsea in front with a goal against his former club nine minutes before half-time. But Chelsea allowed Atletico back into the match just before the interval, as Adrian Lopez scrambled home.

    With Atletico ahead on the away goals rule following a goalless first leg, Chelsea needed to score to reach the Lisbon final but it was the Spaniards who struck again, Diego Costa putting them in front from the penalty spot before the excellent Arda Turan added a third with 18 minutes remaining.

    On leaving his role as England batting coach, Gooch said: "I have many fine memories from the relationships formed with the players and staff and I know that I have given my best and I have tried to give it every day.

    "After discussions with Alastair Cook, he informed me that he was in favour of change. Although this was sad news, I respect his, and new coach Peter Moores', right to implement this change of direction. In my opinion Alastair is the right man to captain England; he commands respect and will always put his body on the line for his country.

    "He will face many challenges and have many more tough decisions to make before his journey ends. Over the last decade or so, he has been the ultimate professional to work with and it has been an honour to see him develop."

    A year later Gooch relinquished the limited-overs role, handing over responsibility to ECB National lead batting coach Graham Thorpe, to focus on working with Test players as well as other young players selected for England squads.
