Title: Champions League final: Despotism v capitalism in a clash of styles
Content: Comment: 'The Champions League final is a jarring and stirring clash of styles in so many ways,' writes Jonathan Liew. 'The relentless attack of Paris Saint-Germain and the relentless defence of Inter. One team built on the freehand wizardry of youth and one built on the weathered edifice of experience. Flying wingers against flying wing-backs, two strikers against none. But perhaps the biggest philosophical difference is between two radically different models of a football club itself: who it serves, what it can be, what constitutes success, and how to get there.'

Title: Preamble
Content: Paris Saint-Germain take on Inter in what promises to be a fascinating and particularly intriguing Champions League final at the Allianz Arena this evening. Gnarly, streetwise and more experienced, the Nerazzurri are hoping to put their defeat at the hands of Manchester City two years ago behind them, but will have to overcome a treble-chasing French side to win their fourth European Cup. Younger and arguably more pleasing on the eye in this clash of styles, PSG are looking to lift the Champions League trophy for the first time.

'F***ing hell Rio!' Laura Woods turns air blue in unseen TNT Sports footage
Rio Ferdinand signed off 10 years with TNT Sports at Saturday's Champions League final in Munich but he got on the wrong side of presenter Laura Woods pre-match Laura Woods dropped an F-bomb after Rio Ferdinand accidentally interrupted her preparation ahead of the Champions League final. Ferdinand's 10-year spell working as a pundit for TNT Sports, formerly known as BT Sport, came to an end on Saturday, having announced his departure in the week leading up to the final at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The match saw Paris Saint-Germain thrash Inter Milan 5-0 to break a Champions League record. Before the game, presenter Woods was working on her introduction while they were still off air. But she was left peeved off when Manchester United legend Ferdinand ambled across the camera. Woods, 37, shared the footage from pre-match on social media. As Ferdinand walked right in front of the camera, she couldn't help but say: "F***ing hell Rio," before putting her microphone down and laughing to herself. Woods joked: "That was going to be some of my best work ever," as Ferdinand walked back in front. The 81-time England international then took the microphone away from Woods, who was explaining that she was doing a practice take. The pair were next heard sharing a laugh. Ferdinand continued by holding the mic to Woods' mouth before pulling it away. Realising that he was actually in shot, Ferdinand apologised to Woods. At the end of TNT's coverage, Woods set Ferdinand up to say farewell. "Rio, before we leave, just one final goodbye," she began. "From us here at TNT Sport, to you. That is it for your career here, for now. "Can I just say on behalf of all of us - including everyone behind the camera - you've been an absolute pleasure. And personally since I joined, you've been so incredibly welcoming. You'll be sorely, sorely missed." Where does Rio Ferdinand rank among your favourite pundits? Have your say in the comments section. Ferdinand responded by saying: "I just want to say thank you to everybody that I've worked with,. My job was made a lot easier by the great people and friends that I have worked with and will remain friends for many years. "As important as the people you see on the screen are the people behind the screen that do all the jobs to get us here and enable us to put our best foot forward are all appreciated. Again, thank you to everybody who has been a part of it." Ferdinand's colleague, Steven Gerrard, asked him if he going to have a cold beer, to which the 46-year-old replied: "All the beers are on me!"

Three elderly patients killed after horror blaze broke out at German hospital - as panicked people 'cried for help from windows'
Three patients were killed and many people were injured, two of them critically, in a fire that broke out overnight at a hospital in the German city of Hamburg, authorities said on Sunday. Firefighters were alerted to the blaze at the hospital, the Marienkrankenhaus, shortly after midnight. It broke out in a room in the geriatric ward, on the ground floor of the building, and spread to the facade of the floor above. Smoke spread across the building's four floors. Firefighters reportedly found several people crying for help from windows, and managed to rescue some using ladders. The fire department said three adult patients were killed and more than 50 people injured, the German news agency dpa reported. Of those, two were in a life-threatening condition, 16 had serious injuries and 36 were slightly hurt. A section of the hospital had to be evacuated. Injured patients were treated either at the hospital itself or in nearby clinics. The fire was extinguished within about 20 minutes. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire. It comes after a plane crashed into a house in western Germany, killing two people including the pilot, according to local police. The tragedy happened after the aircraft struck the terrace of a residential building in the town of Korschenbroich on Saturday. The plane crashed at around 12.30 pm (10.30 GMT) and caused the house to catch fire, police said. Dramatic images show firefighters hosing down the smoldering building after the flames were extinguished. The mangled remains of the aircraft could be seen lying on the ground beside a huge hole in the wall. Officers reportedly told German news agency dpa that one of the two people killed was the 71-year-old pilot. The pilot was from Düsseldorf and appeared to have been sitting alone in the aircraft, they added. It is unknown whether the other person had been a passenger on the plane or had been on the ground. Firefighters responded in numbers with the local control center saying that around 50 personnel had been deployed. They managed to put out the flames quickly. The cause of the crash has yet to be established.
