UK PM says ‘inconceivable’ that Russia hosts Champions League final
LONDON, Feb 23 — Russia should not be allowed to host football events such as the Champions League final after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Tuesday.
Britain said that it would discuss the location of the Champions League final, which is scheduled to take place in St Petersburg in May, with the relevant governing bodies.
Asked whether he would push for the Champions League final to be moved, Johnson told lawmakers: “I think it inconceivable that major international football tournaments can take place in Russia after... the invasion of a sovereign country.”
Nadine Dorries, Britain’s minister for sport, said that Britain would raise the issue with soccer authorities.

Medvedev dominates Andujar to reach last eight in Acapulco
ACAPULCO: Daniil Medvedev crushed Pablo Andujar 6-1 6-2 in Acapulco on Wednesday and put himself three wins away from victory at the tournament and rising to world No 1 for the first time.
Top-seeded Medvedev pretended like he might serve underhand on match point but instead thumped his seventh ace, eliciting a smile from the Spaniard who played well but who could not break down the Russian’s firm defence.
Medvedev will next face either American Taylor Fritz or Japan’s Yoshihito Nishioka as he looks to wrest the world No 1 ranking from Novak Djokovic.
