Mauricio Pochettino said Tottenham's performance against Manchester City gave him confidence for the future despite a heavy defeat that ended his side's long unbeaten Premier League run.

Spurs were beaten 3-1 at Wembley on Saturday before Manchester United lost to West Brom the following day, confirming City as Premier League champions for a third time.

It was Tottenham's first taste of defeat in the league since losing to Pep Guardiola's side in December's reverse fixture, a run of 14 league games, but Pochettino, whose side are in fourth spot, saw the positives.

"After 14 games unbeaten, it was a massive, massive run for us," he said. "We played Liverpool, United, Arsenal, Chelsea and 14 games unbeaten I think the players deserve full credit. Today games are Available on Site

Brazilian legend Pele says he is confident about Brazil's chances at the upcoming World Cup and expects injured star Neymar to be fully fit to lead the side in Russia.

Speaking to AFP in Dubai, the 77-year-old, who has been in ailing health recently, put his faith in Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar's ability to recover from a fractured foot in time to lead Brazil to a possible sixth global football title.

"We don't know exactly what is going to happen, but I think for the World Cup he's going to be in shape because his injury is not so bad," said Pele, the only person to have won the World Cup three times as a player. Place bet Now on today's game on NaijaBet

CSKA Moscow are 4-1 down from the first leg and have little to no chance of overturning the deficit. They warmed up for Thursday's match by losing 2-1 at home to relegation strugglers Dinamo Moscow on Monday.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola blasted Spanish referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz and lamented decisions that cost his side dear after a 2-1 home defeat by Liverpool on Tuesday sealed a 5-1 aggregate Champions League quarterfinal win for the five-time European champions.

Cristiano Ronaldo has already broken one record in this year's Champions League but against Juventus in their quarterfinal return on Wednesday he can edge closer to beating a bigger milestone of his own.

Ronaldo's bicycle kick in Real Madrid's 3-0 first leg victory last week ensured he passed Ruud van Nistelrooy's feat by scoring in 10 consecutive Champions League games.

But the Portugese also now stands just three goals short of his best ever tally in a single European campaign, an achievement that would suggest this Ronaldo, aged 33, may even be the finest version yet. Place bet on today's Champions League matches on NaijaBet
