Having snatched a dramatic late win against Iceland last time out, the Three Lions now have to chance to make it back-to-back wins in Copenhagen. Meanwhile, the hosts will be looking to bounce back from the loss that they suffered against Belgium at the weekend.
Denmark
It was always going to be tough for Kasper Hjulmand s men to get anything against a Red Devils side who are fancied to win the UEFA Nations League next year. The Danes gave them a tough match but in the end, goals from Jason Denayer and Dries Mertens were enough to claim …
Lionel Messi stared at the Anfield turf as bedlam broke out around him, helpless and alone. Somehow – improbably – it had happened again.
Liverpool s incredible 4-0 semi-final win on Tuesday means they have the chance to become the kings of Europe for a sixth time, while arguably the greatest footballer of all time must continue to wait and strive for his fifth Champions League success.
There was a time when everything in this competition seemed ludicrously easy for Messi and his gilded contemporaries at Barcelona. They were a team who won adoration on their way to final victories over Manchester United.
The only problem with capturing the collective imagination is it means everyone is paying attention.
From Rome to the world
When Messi and si…

The 25-year-old has signed a long-term contract with Jurgen Klopp s side and could make his debut against Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday.

Toni Kroos had a friendly prod at Manchester City and Sergio Aguero after the Premier League club unveiled a statue in honour of their former striker.
Aguero, who left City last year and has since retired due to a heart condition, is the club s record goalscorer.
On the 10th anniversary of Aguero s last-gasp, title-clinching winner against QPR back in 2012, City unveiled a statue of Aguero s famous celebration.
However, the statue arguably looks more like Real Madrid midfielder Kroos, who picked up on that resemblance.
Sure? Kroos tweeted in response to a tweet from BBC Sport journalist Simon Stone, which included a photo of the statue.
It would not be the first time a statue of a player has drawn some ridicule – Cristiano Ronaldo, anyone? �…
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has controversially suggested the club will not sign African players unless they make agreements not to play in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Last season, Napoli were without Cameroon international Andre-Franck Zambo Anguissa and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly during their participation in Africa’s showpiece tournament, the latter of whom went on to win the tournament and has since departed Naples for Chelsea.
Striker Victor Osimhen could have been another player to travel to the tournament in Cameroon to play for Nigeria, but an injury ruled him out.
The next AFCON is due to be played in the Ivory Coast in 2024, and De Laurentiis says the club would want some sort of commitment from any player joining Napoli that they wo…

Didier Deschamps future as France head coach will be left up to him when he meets French Football Federation (FFF) president Noel Le Graet next week.
France reached a second consecutive World Cup final in Qatar, but were heartbreakingly defeated 4-2 on penalties by Argentina following a 3-3 draw after extra time.
With Deschamps contract expiring at the conclusion of the tournament, it is unclear whether the 54-year-old will decide to continue on in his role.
But with Deschamps leading France to three major tournament finals since his appointment in 2012, Le Graet is hopeful the former midfielder will choose to stay on when they talk next week.
