and andy murray crashes out of the second round of the us open. so, we'll start with the champions league draw, then, which took place in monaco earlier today and, as usual, produced plenty of talking points. now, defending champions manchester city were handed a pretty favourable draw as they were paired with rb leipzig for the third time in a row, as well as red star belgrade and swiss club young boys. manchester united have been drawn with harry kane's bayern munich in group a, along with fc copenhagen from denmark and turkish side galatasaray.

mikel arteta's arsenal, who are playing in their first champions league group stage campaign in seven years with europa league winners, sevilla, dutch club psv eindhoven and french side rc lions and athletico madrid have got celtic lazio and dutch champions feyenoord, but by far the trickiest group has got to be group f, which contains paris saint—germain, borussia dortmund, ac milan and newcastle. newcastle, incidentally, are appearing in the competition for the first time in two decades but, given that draw, progressing beyond the group stages looks a tall order. wow. i mean, whata group. i mean, it's a super group of death, isn't it? i mean, it's three great teams along with, you know, newcastle united are excited to be playing them, but paris saint—germain, you know, borussia dortmund, the yellow wall and then, obviously, ac milan and sandra talley�*s on the team. we're really excited. i mean, 20 years is a long time not being in the champions league and, you know, this

is something that, you know, we had a great season last season and we're not here just to make up the numbers, you know, we want to be competing on all fronts and i think, you know, we've got six big games ahead of us now in the group stages, but we've got a great coach, obviously, in eddie howe, great players and, you know, we're really going to give it our all. well, once again, manchester city are expected to be the side to beat in europe, having lifted the champions league trophy last season. their star striker erling haaland was presented with the men's player of the year award after the draw, having scored 12 goals during the tournament last season. but he says despite an incredible haul of trophies already won, he's still hungry for more. i won the treble, i was 22 years old and, yeah, i'm kind of living the dream. this was my dream when i was young. so, to be able to do this together with my team—mates is something special, of course, so i'm really happy. and it also gives me —

it gives me so much motivation to keep on working to achieve more of the trophy that just stood there. and, of course, these these are also really nice. so... so — so, yeah, it's — it's free motivation and i'm so happy. also speaking at the champions league draw, england women's head coach sarina wiegman. she dedicated her uefa women's coach of the year award to spain, saying they deserve to be listened to. spanish football federation president luis rubiales has been widely criticised for kissing forward jenni hermoso on the lips following spain's world cup victory over england. we all know the issues around the spanish team — and that really hurts me as a coach, as a mother of two daughters, as a wife and as a human being — and it shows we just talked about �*88. the game has grown so much but there's also still a long

way to go in women's football and in society. and i would like to dedicate this award to the spanish team, the team that played on the world cup, such great —— the team that played on the world cup such great football that everyone enjoyed. applause. i was going to ask to get this applause afterwards but this team deserves to be celebrated and deserves to be listened to and i'm going to give them again a big applause and i hope you willjoin me. uefa president aleksander ceferin has described the behaviour of rubiales as "inappropriate," but he's called fifa's investigation to be allowed to run its course. a video has since emerged of hermoso and her team—mates laughing and discussing the kiss on the team bus following the game but chelsea women's manager emma hayes says such a reaction isn't unnatural.

we all do lots of different things in shock, one, and two, i don't look at it like that. i look at a group of women where it's almost been normalised for them. i think finding a smile in something that is quite shocking reveals an awful lot about the situation rather than the person. i think for someone likejenni hermoso, you could see in her interview directly after the game that she was completely uncomfortable, but no—one has been listening to them for such a long period of time. well, there were ten games on thursday night in the europa league qualifying playoffs and a further 22 in the europa league conference league qualifying playoffs. aberdeen lost to swedish side bk hacken in their europa league qualifying playoff. second leg 3—2 — 3—1, sorry, on the night 5—3. on aggregate in the europa

conference league playoffs, aston villa were three no winners at home to hibernian, a massive 8—0 on aggregate, while hart's hopes of reaching the group stages for the second season in a row are over after paok thrashed them 4—0 earlier six one overall on aggregate. for details of all the other games, head over to the bbc sport website. now, england boss gareth southgate says he's picking a team for football reasons after naming jordan henderson in his latest squad ahead of england's euro 2024 qualifiers. it's the former liverpool captain's first call up since moving to al—ettifaq in saudi arabia. harry maguire has also been included, despite not featuring for manchester united this season. arsenal striker eddie nketiah and chelsea centre back levi colwill have got their first senior call—ups but chelsea's raheem sterling is absent, having been left out of the last two squads. the basis of this squad is we left old trafford after two really good performances, um, four good performances in the group, so i didn't really want to move from the squad we had that day. we're only three games

into the start of the season. but we've had a lot of people at the back with, with issues, so we've had to make changes there. and the only other change, then, is eddie, who's coming in because it's an area where we'd like to have a look at him. he's a young player with a really good pedigree, very good finisher, and it's good for him to have some time with us. a bit of transfer news now and liverpool are in discussions with bayern munich about the possibility of signing midfielder ryan gravenberch from the german champions. the 21—year—old netherlands internationaljoined bayern from ajax last summer but has struggled for first team football. he's made just one substitute appearance so far this season. while crystal palace have signed england goalkeeper dean henderson on a five—year deal from manchester united. palace have paid an undisclosed fee for the 26—year—old, who was a substitute during united's win over nottingham forest on saturday.

now to the us open, where andy murray won here in 2012 has been knocked out in the second round after losing in straight sets 6—3, 6—4, 6—1 to 19th seed gregor dimitrov. murray has not reached the last 16 of a major since hip surgery in 2019 and says he might not have a grand slam deep run again. today is obviously a really disappointing defeat and probably the manner of it as well as, you know? i mean, ifought hard enough, but yeah. just didn't, like i say, i didn't play well enough and, you know, ultimately these are the events that you want to play your best tennis and — and, you know, create more great moments and didn't do that this year. well, it was a tough day as well for americanjohn isner. he lost a five—set thriller

to michael moore, who fought back from match point down to win a very tense fifth set tiebreak in what was in his last professional singles match. the 38—year—old is retiring after the us open and struggled to hold back the tears at the end of the match. while on the women's side, belarusian world number two aryna sabalenka cruised through to the third round, beating britain's jodie burrage in straight sets. 6-3, 6-2. cricket now, and england's women have beaten sri lanka in the first of a t20 international series at hove. the game had been shortened to 17 overs each due to weather delays. england made 11/186 as 19—year—old alice capsey hit 51 from just 27 balls, while danni wyatt made 48 from 30. sri lanka managed just three

overs before the rain came down again. they were set a revised total of 68 win from eight overs, but lost in the end by 12 runs. just a quick recap of our top story — the draw for the champions league has been made. the competition starts next month as manchester city look to defend their title. you can get all of the latest sports news from the bbc sport app or from our website. but for now and everyone here at the bbc sport centre, it's goodbye. good morning. well, with the change of month, once again, we're likely to see a change of weather fortunes. high pressure is going to build as we head into the weekend and for the first week of september. yes, we'll see some early morning mist and fog first thing but on the whole, for most of us, it will be dry, sunny and increasingly warm. ahead of that, though, we've still got to get rid of this messy—looking weather front that's going to produce some low cloud and some drizzle

first thing in the morning, particularly through northern ireland, scottish borders, down into the north of england. now, to the north of that, clear skies and a chilly start but sunny start for scotland. to the south of that, a cloudy start but the cloud will thin and break and a few scattered showers break out. one or two of those could be quite hefty. top temperatures generally between 17 and 22 celsius. now, as we move into the weekend, we are likely to see that frontal system easing away and the high pressure starts to build from the west. we could start off with a little bit of patchy low cloud, mist and fog across central and eastern england. clearer skies further north here. single figures to start off our saturday. so, that mist will take its time to clear away but on the whole, it's all about high pressure. a weak weather front will bring some breezier and wetter conditions to the north but with lighter winds first thing in the morning, it could start off a little bit murky and disappointing. it won't be long, though, before we see some sunshine breaking through and the warmth starts to build. so, as we go into saturday, yes, a grey start for some. more sunshine further

north and west. this weather front trying to push in but really, not making too much of an impression for the first half of the weekend. as we go through the afternoon, there'll be some decent sunny spells and temperatures will start to climb, 23 or 2a degrees — that's into the mid 70s fahrenheit. now, as we move out of saturday into sunday, there's that weatherfront, bringing some breezier conditions and rain to the far north—west but on the whole, sunday will be a dry day with plenty of sunshine coming through and a degree or so warmer by the middle part of the afternoon — mid 20s quite possible across central and southern parts of england. warmer still as we go through the week ahead — in fact, some places could see temperatures into the high 20s by the middle part of the week. take care.
