Albanian Laura Woods stuns in plunging Champions League final outfit as fans label her ‘simply exceptional'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EVA MURATI put it all on red - but was a sure-fire winner with her Champions League final outfit. The sports presenter wore a plugging crimson trouser suit for Paris Saint-Germain's 5-0 romp against Inter Milan.

Eva, 30, has been labelled Albania's version of TNT Sports' Laura Woods. But she's also a model and an actress, having appeared in movies, TV drama and classic plays on the stage. Her outfits are as varied as her CV, keeping her Instagram following of 1.3million fans guessing. Never more so than this month. The Tring TV and Vizion Plus host went braless in a pink strappy top for coverage of the Giro d'Italia cycle race. She then opted for a glittering, low-cut gown to front an awards ceremony in her home country. And on Saturday night, just as PSG got everything right out in the middle, Eva's fans reckon she was flawless in the studio. 19 Even Eva's feet got special attention from some fans Credit: Instagram @evamurati The law graduate shared a clip of herself perched on a stool, writing notes and walking around as she prepared for the final. Eva topped off the video by blowing two kisses to the camera. Meet glam Champions League host Eva Murati One fan responded by calling her "The most beautiful lady on earth". And many followers believes she added a perfect touch by choosing sparkly high heels. "What beautiful feet, what a beautiful and sexy woman," declared one viewer. "Goddess," said another, while she was also described as "simply exceptional". Eva's cherry-coloured outfit might have hinted at half a link to PSG - as the first-time Champions League winners play in red and blue. But if the sometime film actress did get The French Connection spot on, it was a case of The Italian Sob for poor Inter and their dejected supporters.

A Widow's Game review: New Netflix thriller based on a shocking true crime story lacks bite
People are truly crazy in love, or they are just too good at pretending. People are also capable of the worst, even if they seem to be ticking all the right boxes from a distance. The new Netflix entry, A Widow's Game (La Viuda Negra in Spanish), tells the story of just the two most easy-going people who commit a serious crime. It is based on the real-life story of the murder of Antonio Navarro Cerdán, a 36-year-old industrial engineer, after which his widow, María Jesús Moreno Cantó, known as Maje, fell under the scanner. Even if you do take a quick second to Google what really happened to Antonio and what propelled it, this new film is worthy enough for your time. It just doesn't smell like dirt enough. (Also read: Sirens review: Julianne Moore leads a possible wellness cult in campy new Netflix show) The film begins like a standard investigative police procedural with the introduction of Eva (Carmen Machi), who is the well-known inspector of the local Homicide Group. Antonio has been stabbed in the garage, the blood is all over the place. Eva is told the intensity of those multiple hits resembles that of a man- it seems the murderer kept prepared to kill. Eva nods and proceeds with business-like propensity: she has also got to uphold the impressive track record of her team. Soon, the news reaches Antonio's wife, Maje (Ivana Baquero), who is called in for questioning. This definitely isn't robbery, there's something too concise and incisive about it all. Maje is called in for questioning, and some of her lies are caught at the very beginning. But this is not about the lies per se; it is more about the cover-up and why it went in this nasty direction. From here on, the film makes a strategic narrative choice, shifting the perspective from Eva to Maje and then to someone else entirely. It is a move that ultimately kills the intrigue and, more bafflingly, the nuance of these characters. The sleek production design and fuss-free mise en scène begin to itch. Even as the focus shifts to multiplicities, the film does not really take a breath to care about these perspectives. There's a certain distance between character and subjectivity that makes the film feel polished on all fronts. But this is a story of a ruthless, passion-filled crime, one that demands push and pull, a certain brashness to it. A Widow's Game feels morbid without the stench of death, and hollow in the way it avoids confronting the banality of this evil. Even as Maje goes through a range of conflicting emotions and dilemmas, the film somehow finds a way to conclude that it will be taken care of. It all comes down to the cast, and thankfully, they inject some vitality into their performances. Tristán Ulloa is the standout, so convincing and quietly terrifying in his silences that pop up quite late into the narrative. Carmen Machi adds the much-needed concern and heart into this cold, sanctimonious treatment. As Maje, Baquero is in fine form, but we never really get to meet the woman behind the walls of her slowly crumbling household. Later, when she visits her husband's parents to seek a pragmatic response, it is shocking to see how little we, the viewer, really do care about her immediate actions. She is no Gone Girl. A Widow's Game is a neat and polished dramatisation of a messy and radical crime. Perhaps that's the point the film wants to make, that it does not matter much because the root of all of it is just too vile to care about. It denies involvement, a lack of provocation in this unforgivable act of deceit. Mostly, it lacks the heart to dig deeper into the wound that it capitalises upon. A Widow's Game is available to watch on Netflix.
