Last seen mounting a dramatic late comeback away at defending champions PSG as they snatched a 2-2 stalemate, Eric Roy’s side have cemented their spot as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages this year. Riding what has been a famous wave of momentum, the one-time Nice boss will be desperate to get one over on his former employers and make another statement. Opening this…

Kylian Mbappe reiterated his commitment to Paris Saint-Germain, though he is set on winning the Champions League.
Mbappe became PSG s record goalscorer as he sealed a 4-2 win over Nantes on Saturday.
The 24-year-old surpassed Edinson Cavani s tally of 200 for the club when he slammed home in stoppage time. Mbappe took just 247 matches to reach 201 goals – Cavani s 200 strikes came from 301 appearances.
Having won the 2018 World Cup with France and five Ligue 1 titles, the Champions League has evaded Mbappe, who has a runners-up medal from the 2020 final when PSG lost to Bayern Munich.
Bayern stand in the way of PSG s progress this season, with the Bundesliga giants holding a 1-0 lead heading into the second leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday.

Fulham boosted their survival hopes as they inflicted a sixth consecutive Premier League home defeat on Liverpool, winning 1-0 at Anfield.
Mario Lemina s strike close to the half-time break earned the visitors a deserved three points that means only goal difference separates them from safety.
It also extended a dreadful run of form for the Premier League champions, whose hopes of qualifying for any form of European football next term now look under huge threat.
No doubt encouraged by their hosts woeful recent form, Fulham made the brighter start.
They twice went close when Josh Maja flicked an unorthodox effort just past the post before Ademola Lookman drove wide after cutting into the box too easily.
And, though Liverpool looked to respond throu…
Mauricio Pochettino has been sacked by Tottenham after their frustrating start to the Premier League season, though the Argentinian will seemingly have no shortage of potential suitors.
Pochettino led Spurs to four successive top-four finishes in the league and also oversaw a memorable charge to the Champions League final last season.
Tottenham went down 2-0 to Liverpool in Madrid, however, and with 12 games played in the top flight this term, they sit 14th, having won just three times. They also suffered a humiliating 7-2 home defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League last month.
Despite Spurs opting to make a change, Pochettino is still widely regarded as one of the most sought-after coaches in Europe.
We look at the teams most likely to come …
Everton have confirmed Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager, with the Italian signing a four-and-a-half-year contract at Goodison Park.
The Toffees have been without a permanent manager since sacking Marco Silva on December 5, in the wake of a 5-2 defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby which left them in the bottom three.
Duncan Ferguson has been in interim charge since then, guiding an injury-hit side to a win over Chelsea and a draw with Manchester United, though Everton did exit the EFL Cup with a 4-2 penalty shoot-out defeat to Leicester City on Wednesday.
However, Ancelotti – who was dismissed by Napoli on December 10 despite taking the Serie A club to the knockout stage of the Champions League and securing a second-place finish in Italy last seaso…
Real Madrid s plans for the transfer window before the start of next season are far from a secret. Their sole aim will be to ensure they do what many expect, and lure Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer after his contract expires.
If anybody was in any doubt of their ambitions, Karim Benzema reaffirmed them this week.
Kylian Mbappe could be the third star with Vinicius and me? Yes, I say this a lot of times, Benzema told L Equipe of his France team-mate.
With Mbappe we get on well because we know what the other is going to do on the pitch. It s perfect.
But on Wednesday s evidence, Los Blancos may not even need to add Mbappe to their ranks to regain the Champions League.
Indeed, the argument for Madrid as a team ready t…
