Julian Alvarez and second-half substitute Angel Correa scored twice as Atletico Madrid cruised to an easy 6-0 win at struggling Sparta Prague in the Champions League

Phil Foden, John Stones and Matheus Nunes were also on target for Pep Guardiola's men, who remain unbeaten in all competitions this season.

Sparta Prague said Jankto had previously told the club and his team-mates about his sexual orientation.

Premier League: Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky has completed his purchase of a 27 percent stake in West Ham United, the Premier League club announced on Wednesday.

UEFA Europa League: West Ham secured a berth in the knockout ages despite a 2-2 draw against Genk in David Moyes' 100th game of his managerial career.

Wesley Sneijder's goal came five minutes from time to help Galatasaray beat Juventus and qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League.

Van Gaal last month demoted Sneijder from his job as team captain, saying he wasn't in sufficiently good shape. Manchester United striker Robin van Persie is the new Oranje captain for the Aug. 14 match.

Galatasaray won the Emirates Cup on Sunday after the Ivorian scored both goals in a 2-1 victory over Arsenal.

Sneijder was only able to wear the captain's armband during four matches in the past year. Van Persie wore the band for the first time in Jakarta.

Goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain gave Madrid a 3-0 advantage which they will take to Turkey for the second leg of the quarterfinal clash.

Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder were January purchases of Galatasaray who face Real Madrid in the first-leg of their quarter-final on Wednesday.

In the 4-0 victory, the 29-year-old Manchester United striker reached 34 international goals, overtaking the legendary Johan Cruyff.

Despite Drogba and Sneijder making their Champions League debuts for the ambitious Turkish club since joining last month from Shanghai Shenhua and Inter Milan respectively, both had quiet games as the hosts failed to dominate.

However, Jones is suspended for the return leg after his appeals for a booking against Selcuk Inan saw him earn a yellow card of his own on 35 minutes.

After suffering the ignominy of an early exit from the Champions League as defending champion, Chelsea began its quest to win the Europa League by beating Sparta Prague on Thursday.

Drogba is set to be officially unveiled to supporters prior to Sunday evening's home match against Antalyaspor.

The absence of these players was no surprise, because they were also not included in the provisional squad. All just returned from injuries or haven't played much for their clubs.

Drogba, who cuts short his stint with Shanghai Shenhua, played a key role in Chelsea's run to the Champions League title last season.
