Lamine Yamal's semi-final finish against Inter has won the fan vote for goal of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League season.

"It's a great award because it comes from my colleagues," said Juventus boss Antonio Conte after his peers' votes earned him the Golden Bench for Serie A's top coach of 2011/12.

A new name is on the UEFA Champions League trophy after Chelsea FC's win against FC Bayern München made them the first maiden winners since Borussia Dortmund in 1997.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jürgen Klopp is refusing to underestimate FC Zenit after the round of 16 draw while Anatoliy Tymoshchuk hopes to come back and haunt BVB.

Though Manchester United FC won Group H with two matches to spare, their campaign was not without drama, ranging from falling behind in five games to a blackout in Braga.

FC Bayern München's sorrow was acute after last season's final defeat, but Jupp Heynckes has impressively galvanised his team to qualify from Group F with minimum fuss.

"An extraordinary player" according to Jürgen Klopp, Borussia Dortmund midfielder İlkay Gündoğan promises to work "even harder" to continue his rise to the top.

"We have to use the feeling of Moscow to inspire us this year," said Chelsea FC's Frank Lampard as he and Didier Drogba looked back to 2008 and ahead to FC Bayern München.
