A last look at what's making the headlines in the morning papers and there is a bit of everything in The Guardian, from Favourite Faugheen's Cheltenham triumph to Jose Mourinho, with a spot of England cricket thrown in.

There looks likely to be a duel for the back pages tomorrow as Cheltenham's Queen Mother Chase will throw up a hero and Chelsea will inevitably grab headlines when they meet Paris St-Germain in the Champions League later.

London-born Liam Stewart is included for next month's World Championship in Eindhoven and two international fixtures against Poland.

Stewart Jnr, at 6ft 1in is somewhat taller than his rock-star father, plays in America and is now in his fourth season with Spokane Chiefs in the state of Washington.

We've spent the last half-hour trying to think of some suitably hilarious puns based on Rod Stewart songs but as First Puck Is The Deepest and Handbags and Kneepads prove, we've failed to come up with any.

"The showdown between the last two Queen Mother Champion Chasers is a clash that has been anticipated for months.

"But neither Sprinter Sacre (left), a spectacular winner in 2013, nor the equally memorable Sire De Grugy (right), hero of last year, have had what you might call ideal preparations.

"Famously, the Nicky Henderson-trained Sprinter Sacre, also a winner of the Arkle Trophy, missed all of 2014 following a heart condition, and returned with a second place, plus a puzzling nose bleed, at Ascot in January.

"Meanwhile, the Sire De Grugy team has had to overcome a recent injury scare and then a comeback race at Newbury in which the horse and his jockey Jamie Moore parted company, before an admittedly convincing success."

Southampton's academy has proved the most profitable in Europe over the last three years, producing talent that has subsequently been sold for more than £90m, reports the Daily Mail, external.

Swansea were the next most profitable raising more than £30m by selling the likes of Joe Allen and Ben Davies.

Weyman, who spent much of his career playing in Australia's NRL for Canberra Raiders and St. George Illawarra, signed for Hull in 2013 and scored seven tries in his debut season.

The fall out was never going to be pretty.

"A chaotic Madrid show panic in the Beranbeu," reads the front page of Marca.

Real Madrid may well be into the last eight of the Champions League but the manner of their 4-3 home loss to Schalke - which yielded a 5-4 aggregate win - angered home fans who waved their handkerchiefs at Los Blancos' players.

Carlo Ancelotti's side are under attack at the moment having surrendered their place at the top of La Liga to Barcelona, who now have a one point advantage.

Despite successfully making it through in the Champions league, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti issued an apology after the defending champions were jeered off after losing the second leg of their tie with Schalke.

"I'm very sorry. We played very badly and that is bad for our image," said Ancelotti. "All the criticism we get is justified.

"We need to look at our defence, that's where all our errors were. No team has put four past us at home. It's not easy to explain what's happened. We've lost confidence."

The defending champions reached the quarter-finals with a 5-4 aggregate win.

Think we jinxed Scotland.

Freddie Coleman went for 70 and has just been followed by Michael Leask, out for two.

That means the Scots are 193-6 off 38 overs, and that target of 364 is looking a long way. Sri Lanka in total control.

Scotland have slipped to 187 for 4 at the World Cup, chasing 364 to beat Sri Lanka and claim a first ever victory at the tournament.

Preston Mommsen was the last man out, though he can hold his head high about his efforts - scoring an impressive 60 from 93 balls.

Victory looks unlikely but as long as Freddie Coleman stays at the crease, the Scots have an outside chance. Coleman is 70 not out from 84 balls.

After a presumably slightly cheesed-off Radamel Falcao turned out for Man United under-21s, we want to know the biggest falls from grace in sport.

Leon Bacarese: The rapid decline of Tiger Woods has surely got to be up there as one of the greatest falls from grace that sport has seen!

Ian Stoddart: Falcao the biggest fall from grace? Do me a favour. Two words - Lance Armstrong.

What do Chelsea and Porto have in common in this season's Champions League?

Image source, Getty Images

Both are the only sides unbeaten in the 2014-15 competition.

Porto joined Real Madrid in the quarter-finals with victory over FC Basel on Tuesday as a 4-0 second-leg win laced with a couple of stunning free-kicks secured a 5-1 aggregate passage.

"We deserve to be in the Champions League quarter-finals even if we came through qualifying," said Porto boss Julen Lopetegui, whose side started in the qualifying phase and are 10 Champions League matches without loss. "I am very happy and very proud of my players who showed a lot of character."

The man pushed off a Paris train by Chelsea fans in February has spoken of his ongoing trauma and claims he cannot work as a result of the racist act.

The Frenchman, named only as Souleymane, was offered to attend tonight's second-leg meeting between Chelsea and Paris St-Germain but rejected the offer from the London club, who have suspended five supporters for their action.

"I still hear the voices of those people who pushed me because of the colour of my skin," Souleymane told RTL radio. "I can't go to work anymore. I live with racism but it's the first time I've had to go to a doctor to ask for pills to calm myself down."

So what else will Sportsday have in store for you today?

Lots from Cheltenham and our reporter on course plus results from every race, build-up to the first news conference where both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will hype their May showdown (cannot wait for that), lots of stats, quotes and view points on Chelsea v Paris St-Germain, plus all of the day's other news.

We will also run a couple of debates, the first of which is below.

So Radamel Falcao, a Colombian international earning a reported £260,000 a week in his loan deal at Manchester United, found himself playing with the club's under-21 side on Tuesday night in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

Hardly what was expected when he arrived last year and hardly an environment befitting a man who joined Monaco for over £50m.
