Kylian Mbappe, the French footballing wunderkind, has been outshone by a bunch of Barcelona whippersnappers, who've gone and turned the tables on Paris St-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final first leg. It's like watching a pack of eager beavers outsmart a French poodle - and let me tell you, it's a sight for sore eyes!

'More than a fighter' - how Rousey finally found peace

Ah-ha! Ronda Rousey, a woman of many talents - judoka, mixed martial artist, wrestler, and now, a zen master, apparently. She's been chatting to BBC Sport about finding her inner zen garden after a career low, which I can only imagine involves less body slams and more deep breathing. Good on you, Ronda!

Storms set to disrupt opening round of Masters

Well, it's all kicking off at the Masters, and I'm not talking about a row over who's nicked the last of the club sandwiches. No, Mother Nature's decided to join the party, and she's bringing a plus one in the form of thunderstorms. So, golf fans, prepare for a bit of a damp squib as the heavens open over Augusta National.

Atletico hold on to edge Dortmund in first leg

Well, well, well, what a match we had on our hands, folks! Atletico Madrid, showing the steely determination of a Norfolk terrier chasing a rabbit, managed to fend off a late surge from Borussia Dortmund, who were charging at them like a German on a sun lounger. It's advantage Atletico after the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, but let's not forget, it's a game of two halves, four quarters and about ninety minutes.

Well, well, well, it's a classic tale of two dart-wielding, football-crazed Man Utd superfans, Luke Littler and Nathan Aspinall, who've taken a break from their usual 180s to rank a squad of footballing legends. Using their dart skills, they've crafted a top eleven list that's sure to cause more debate than a Partridge among the pigeons. So, buckle up, sports fans, we're in for a game of opinions sharper than their dart points!

Ipswich miss out on top spot as Watford claim draw

Well, well, well, here we are again, folks. Ipswich Town, so close yet so far, like a man reaching for a biscuit only to find it's the last one and it's just crumbled into a thousand pieces. They've been held to a goalless draw by Watford at their own home, Portman Road, missing the golden opportunity to ascend to the Championship's top spot - a bit like tripping at the last hurdle, only the hurdle is a football and you're not running, you're kicking.

I hope nothing gets between us - Klopp on fan protest

In a move that's as surprising as a fox in a hen house, Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp has said he hopes "nothing gets between us and the supporters", this following a fan protest about the club's ticket price hike. It's like a romantic plea from a German Casanova, only instead of chocolates and roses, it's all about the price of a pie and a pint at half time. Let's hope the fans respond to Klopp's overtures, or it could be a lonely Valentine's Day at Anfield.
