• Local officials alleged to have taken action against Uefa wishes • Governing body looking into it with stadium authorities Uefa is investigating claims that local officials opened the turnstiles at Baku’s Olympic Stadium during the Europa League final on Wednesday because of embarrassing pictures of empty seats. A lack of direct flights, the price of charter options and the usual concerns about high ticket prices and accommodation costs resulted in Chelsea and Arsenal returning around half of their 6,000-ticket allocations.

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now?

But, as the absorbing new documentary Freedom Fields reveals, the Libyan women’s national team has some way to go. As well as that imam, the film also features this statement from extremist group Ansar al-Sharia: “We strongly refute what the supporters of immoral westernisation are doing under the pretext of women’s freedom.

Manchester United had big dreams once and you may even have read on this very page that Ole Gunner Solskjær fancied rebuilding his defence around Matthijs de Ligt , Kalidou Koulibaly or Harry Maguire , but the word now is that Old Trafford’s nostalgist-in-chief is going to have to plot a way forward by switching to Plan Z. De Ligt remains Barcelona -bound and, apparently, United are not willing to pay the money it would take to sign Koulibaly and Maguire so, according to ESPN, cunning Solskjær has decided to take the Baldrick approach to rebuilding the centre of his defence: “we do nothing”, he is said to have decided, meaning he will stick with what he has got, possibly with the tweak of equipping Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Eric Bailly and Marcos Ro

I am lucky enough to have secured a ticket through the Uefa Masters course I’m doing and I’m expecting the match between two fantastic English teams to be as vibrant as the atmosphere. With the attacking style of both teams it promises to be spectacular. Whichever team wins will have provided the perfect finish to an amazing story. Which team will that be? That is extremely hard to call. I would say Liverpool just edge it thanks, in particular, to their greater experience in midfield.

Villa should be wary of repeating the mistakes Fulham made year when building a squad for the top flight By Martin Laurence for WhoScored Aston Villa are back in the big time after three seasons in the Championship. Their 2-1 victory over Derby in the play-off final banishes the memory of their trip to Wembley last year, when they were as flat as Frank Lampard’s side were on Monday. Jack Glealish performed well in that 1-0 defeat to Fulham but the boyhood Villa fan and academy graduate was carrying an ageing side that ultimately ran out of steam. It was a different story this time around. Grealish had one of his quietest games of the season against Derby, while numerous others stepped up. This crop of players are more prepared for a return to the top flight, though there is work to be done over the summer.

He is the lost playmaker. His once proud joy in the assist, his once delicate ability to be the subtle architect of a game, has dwindled to the point where it is really worth revisiting a highlights reel from previous years to remember how – even with that idiosyncratic languid style which means he seldom looks keen for a battle – his gifts had so much more presence.

The Tottenham defender was on the losing side against Real Madrid in the Champions League final five years ago Toby Alderweireld has been close to a Champions League title before. Close enough, in fact, that there was probably someone squirrelling away trying to fix the colours of Atlético Madrid to the trophy. Time was running out in the 2014 final but as the clock ticked into the fourth added minute, Sergio Ramos rose to meet a corner and, like that, the chance was gone. Alderweireld had entered the field at Lisbon’s Estádio da Luz in the 83rd minute as a substitute for Filipe Luís. Diego Simeone brought on the Belgian in place of the more attack-minded Brazilian in an attempt to close out the match. It was something his team had proved better at than almost any other side in Europe. But then Luka Modric drove the ball towards the penalty spot, Ramos shuffled five yards forward to lose a clutch of defenders and his formidable forehead did the rest.

Today’s fluff makes you drool just like a pasta e fasul Tottenham have made a £53m bid for the Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso , whose impressive loan move to Andalucía from Paris Saint-Germain – with headline figures of 16 goals and six assists in 46 games in their midfield this season – was made permanent only last month. The Sevilla side have instantly rejected this meagre offer, and insist that his €100m (£88m) release clause must be met – which given that he was signed on 16 April for a mere €22m would land them a tidy €78m profit. According to our calculations should such a deal be concluded today Lo Celso would have made Betis around €1,231 for every minute they owned him. Spurs, meanwhile, will let Kieran Trippier leave for £30m and “ Everton , Manchester United and Napoli are monitoring his situation”, according to the Mail, though the Sun insists he “will miss out on a summer move to Napoli” because the Italian club are “looking for a younger right-back”.

• Friendly: Scotland Women 3-2 Jamaica Women • Cuthbert 30, Weir 35, Howard 68; Shaw 15 49 Scotland’s women will head to the World Cup having broken records as well as barriers. That 18,555 turned up at Hampden Park for this pre-tournament farewell against Jamaica smashed the previous best home attendance figure of 4,098. Understandably pre-finals optimism is high. Defensive wobbles as Jamaica were seen off by the odd goal in five will have to be rectified before Scotland face England in Nice on 9 June. Still, for Shelley Kerr and the Scotland team – making a tournament where there male counterparts continually cannot – this felt like a positive occasion.

• Manager kicks away his cap before disappearing down tunnel • Gonzalo Higuaín and David Luiz in practice match altercation Maurizio Sarri stormed away from Chelsea’s training session at the Olympic Stadium on the eve of the Europa League final against Arsenal within an hour of admitting for the first time he is considering his future. Sarri twice flung his baseball cap to the ground in frustration, kicking it across the technical area, before departing down the tunnel while the session was still winding up. The tantrum occurred moments after Gonzalo Higuaín and David Luiz had been involved in an altercation during a practice match, though the club were quick to deny the incidents were connected.

• Manager confident he can break run of six defeats in cup finals • ‘I have never been part of a final with a better team than this’ Jürgen Klopp has described Liverpool as the best team he has taken to a cup final and believes defeat in Kiev last May focused their mindset on winning this season’s Champions League. Liverpool are aiming to become champions of Europe for a sixth time – and their manager to break a sequence of six consecutive final defeats – when they face Tottenham in Madrid on Saturday. Klopp insists his team are completely different to the one that endured painful defeat in the Champions League final against Real Madrid last season, when he claimed Liverpool were happy to surpass expectations and reach Kiev.

It may look petty, but this online antagonism shows that many football clubs have become relatively savvy online operators after their faltering first steps a decade ago If you, like many people right now, are yearning for common courtesy, a sense of civility in these stricken times, a balm that might heal the nation’s wounds, then a word to the wise: don’t start with the official Leeds United Twitter account. Leeds were knocked out of the Championship play-offs by Derby County a fortnight ago. Turned over 4-2 in their own backyard no less. You might have thought a period of humility and introspection would follow. Not so. Whoever runs the Leeds account has instead seen fit to use the time to cultivate a feud with Derby. And drag a member of One Direction into it while they’re at it.
