On today’s English front pages, Thursday 7 November 2024, the focus is on the matches scheduled last night involving the Premier League teams valid for the Champions League Phase.
Defeats in the late afternoon for Aston Villa and in the evening for Arsenal, against Club Brugge and Inter respectively. In both cases, knockouts came due to penalty kicks caused by naive handballs.
These are all the openings today in England:
Star Sports: “Hand bawls”
Daily Mail: “Handball horror!”
The Guardian Sports: “Paying the penalty”
The Daily Telegraph: “Misfiring Gunners”
