He didn’t find it as funny as the journalists. You’d despair at the lack of flight mode knowledge amongst the English media but this was an innocent enough mistake.

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has been a rare bright point in an otherwise dull season for Manchester United.

Lionel Messi’s decision to pass a penalty to Luis Suarez has had more than enough airtime recently.

Once again, Barcelona look to have landed a knockout blow on Arsenal’s Champions League hopes.

Not for the first time, an English crowd has been far from impressed with the refereeing display of Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakir.
