HARRY KANE’S Champions League dream is alive and kicking – just – as Bayern Munich scraped past brave Celtic.

Alphonso Davies bundled home from a yard out at the death to keep their hopes of lifting the famous trophy for a seventh time in their own city intact.

However, it was heartbreak for Brendan Rodgers and his side after they missed a host of glorious chances.

England’s top goalscorer barely had a touch before he was taken off at the break amid fears the facial injury that kept him out of training on Monday had flared up again.

He still managed to hit the woodwork – but he and his team-mates were the fortunate ones not to be trailing at the break as they were almost caught cold.

Celtic made a flying start in trying to secure a first knockout tie in this competition for 36 years and should have been at least two up inside the opening 20 minutes.

Captain Callum McGregor sliced over after being sent clean through early on.

The Bhoys carved the hosts wide open again when Jota flew past Josip Stanisic and pulled it from the left to the unmarked Nicolas Kuhn.

The ex-Bayern ace met it left footed at the far post and beat Manuel Neuer, but Raphael Guerreiro was able to clear on the line.

Vincent Kompany’s side were struggling and alarm bells started to ring as Celtic came close once more.

This time Kuhn flashed a ball along the front of goal but team-mate Daizen Maeda was just unable to reach.

Bayern looked completely rattled, but once more the visitors failed to take advantage when Maeda shot wide with a first-time effort to leave Brendan Rodgers tearing his hair out.

Kane, chasing his 30th goal of the season, almost punished Celtic as he forced his ex-Leicester City team-mate Kasper Schmeichel into action.

Bayern were now starting to get a grip of the game with Joshua Kimmich shooting wide from 20 yards.

And Kane, who only had ten touches during the opening period, almost broke the deadlock with the last kick of the half as he rattled the crossbar from 12 yards.

That would be the hotshot’s final act as he was replaced by Kingsley Coman.

Schmeichel produced a vital save to deny Leon Goretzka after the restart and it proved to be crucial as Celtic soon stunned the Allianz Arena.

Maeda’s throughball should have been bread and butter for Kim Min-jae, but his poor defending was pounced on by Kuhn as the winger coolly drilled a low shot past Neuer.

Celtic were level on aggregate but they missed another huge opportunity to lead the tie for the first time when Japanese ace Maeda’s diving header was straight at the keeper.

Goretzka and Leroy Sane were both off target as Bayern desperately tried to fight back.

Schmeichel then produced an acrobatic flying save to push away Kimmich’s long-ranger.

Though there was a cruel twist in the fourth minute of added time when Schmeichel brilliantly saved from Goretzka’s header, Canadian Davies reacted quickest to smash home and win 3-2 on aggregate.

BRIAN Laundrie’s dad has broken his cover for the first time since a new series investigated his son’s murder of his fiancée Gabby Petito.

Christopher Laundrie, 65, was seen out and about in Florida in exclusive photos obtained by The U.S. Sun one day after American Murder: Gabby Petito premiered on Netflix.

The three-part series dives into Brian’s relationship with Gabby, 22, before he strangled the vlogger to death on their cross-country road trip in August 2021.

Just one day after the docuseries premiered, Brian’s dad was seen outside his home in North Port, which is about 88 miles south of Tampa, Florida.

Christopher looked stoic as he walked up his driveway in the exclusive photos.

Hours before the exclusive photos were taken, Christopher and his wife Roberta Laundrie’s family lawyer lashed out at the new series and slammed it as “inaccurate” in a statement.

The project, which features previously unseen texts, diary entries, and footage from Gabby’s family and friends, features damning scenes about the Laundries, who refused to help Gabby’s family search for her when she went missing.

Brian’s family has stayed out of the public eye since the case and declined to participate in the new series.

The doc has reignited public interest in the case, which garnered nationwide attention when Gabby was first reported missing after Brian, 23, returned home from their trip without his fiancée.

He refused to speak about Gabby’s whereabouts, which prompted her family to publicly beg for her return, even pleading with Brian’s family to help them find their daughter.

RESURFACED FOOTAGE

However, Brian wasn’t the only one who stayed quiet about Gabby’s disappearance – his family stuck by his side when they were confronted by cops.

Christopher and Roberta became on edge and defensive when cops knocked on their door on September 11, 2021, the day Gabby was reported missing, according to resurfaced body camera footage.

The video, obtained by Fox News at the time, showed Brian’s dad answering the door barefoot and immediately saying, “I’m not talking to anybody.”

The officer then told Christopher he was on the phone with a New York detective who was looking for Gabby.

When the officer asked Christopher about the last time he saw his son and Gabby, the dad responded, “Well, Brian is here.”

When the cop tried to confirm Brian was present at the home, Christopher quickly shut down the conversation.

“Yeah, and that’s all I’m going to say,” he fired back.

He then gave the officer his attorney’s contact information.

‘WE DON’T KNOW ANYTHING’

After returning to the cop car for a moment, the officer then returned to the front door for a second round of questioning.

“I hate to bother you. I know you said already you don’t want to speak or don’t want to help us,” the cop told Christopher and Roberta.

“I’m trying to figure out something for [Gabby’s] parents, you guys as parents, and all they want is to know that their daughter is safe.

“So, I don’t know where it all started before, I don’t know what has transpired. I don’t know anything about that.

“I’m here to know if you guys know anything. It would put the family at ease, and it will go from there.”

But Christopher remained defiant and said, “We don’t know anything.”

When the cop tried to speak with Brian, his dad quickly interrupted and said, “He’s not going to talk to you. He’s not going to talk to anybody.”

The police officer then told the family he was going to seize Gabby’s van, which her family recently revealed has been destroyed, after Brian brought it home from the trip.

The conversation concluded with a cold response from Christopher.

“Goodnight. Don’t knock on my door anymore,” the dad said before shutting his front door.

When Brian and his family wouldn’t speak about Gabby’s whereabouts, online investigators scoured Gabby’s social media posts and her YouTube video looking for clues in the disappearance.

Weeks after Gabby first went missing, a horrifying piece of the puzzle fell into place when cops released disturbing bodycam footage showing cops responding to a domestic abuse call involving Gabby and Brian in Moab, Utah, weeks before her death.

Gabby’s body was found in Grand Teton National Forest on September 19, 2021. She had been strangled to death.

After her body was found, the FBI issued an arrest warrant for Brian for illegally using Gabby’s debit card after her death.

The manhunt for Brian ended when they found his body at a Florida park near his parent’s house on October 21, 2021. He died by suicide.

Brian took responsibility for Gabby’s death in a note in his journal, which was found near his body in a bag.

The bag also included a letter stating, “Please do not make life harder for my family, they lost a son and a daughter.”

Gabby’s family sued Brian’s family for her wrongful death in 2022 and was awarded $3 million.

SUSPICIOUS PHONE CALL

In 2023, Gabby’s parents sued the Laundries and their attorney, Steven Bertolino, for intentional infliction of emotional stress for their behavior after their daughter disappeared.

During the deposition for the case, the Laundries admitted what they knew about Gabby’s disappearance after they received a “frantic” phone call from their son two days after she disappeared.

Chris and Roberta said Brian called them on August 29, 2021 and told them Gabby was “gone” and he needed a lawyer.

Brian’s parents didn’t admit they knew Gabby was dead and only said Brian reported she was “gone,” Petito family attorney Pat Reilly told local NBC affiliate WFLA at the time.

Gabby and Brian’s families eventually reached a confidential agreement to their civil lawsuit weeks before the case was set to be tried.

The Laundries have stayed silent about the case over the years, only speaking through Bertolino.

THE Sun dodged bullet casings and ducked for cover as British troops stormed trenches, forests and buildings in a huge war games exercise only miles from the Ukrainian border.

Senior officers revealed the Steadfast Dart exercise, with 10,000 soldiers from eight NATO armies, was a warning shot to Putin – and troops told us they would be ready to form a peacekeeping force if called upon.

Soldiers practised close combat fighting at NATO’s largest drill of the year in Smârdan, eastern Romania – with 3,000 British troops sending a defiant message.

We watched from just a few feet away as the 4th Scottish Regiment, alongside Romanian troops, demonstrated how they hunt and kill rival soldiers at close range inside World War One-like muck trenches and inflatable buildings mimicking enemy fortresses.

Brigadier Andy Watson, of the Allied Reaction Force, said: “The UK and its partners through Operation Interflex have trained over 50,000 Ukrainian soldiers.

“We’ve learnt an awful lot from the Ukrainian Army through that mission.

“Our soldiers have learned how to fight in trench systems and how it’s being fought right now in Ukraine.

“My engineers have built this complex through working with Ukrainians in the UK on how to better protect our soldiers as well in modern warfare.

“There’s multiple benefits to the activity we’re doing here. These tactics are being used today in modern warfare by countries around the world.”

He revealed his troops were “very prepared” if sent to Ukraine, adding: “The goal here is to provide options to ministers if and when required.

“In terms of this brigade’s readiness to conduct a whole range of operations – absolutely, we’re rather well-resourced and part of a well-resourced coalition.”

Cap. Christopher Boyle, who took part in the drills, added: “It’s been good to work with the Romanian armour and increase our own lethality.

“Assaulting trenches has been particularly good too.”

Royal Artillery Lt Col Harry Waller, commanding officer of the Multi-National Fires Group, said: “It sends a message that we’re ready to project multinational force over large distances within days to meet any threat.

“The exercise plan was pre-ordained. There was never any intent to be here with the news that’s going on at the moment.

“But it’s a critical meeting, at this time and place, to really make a statement to any adversary.”

PM Sir Keir Starmer said on Sunday that he would send the British Army should peacekeepers be needed in the aftermath of a peace deal brokered by US President Donald Trump.

It is believed the UK could send 10,000 personnel – almost one in seven active soldiers – which could arrive just days after a decision is made.

THE BBC was accused of being a propaganda tool for Hamas yesterday in a furious row over a documentary.

Its prime-time Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone featured children living in the strip since the October 7 attack on Israel.

But the main narrator — 13-year-old Abdulla Eliyazouri — is reportedly the son of Hamas deputy minister of agriculture Dr Ayman Al-Yazouri.

And one of the cameramen is said to have previously posted messages saluting the October 7 massacre and videos showing off Hamas weapons.

The hour-long documentary was broadcast on Monday on BBC2 and is available for the next year on iPlayer.

Investigative journalist David Collier, who revealed the identities of those involved, said: “How did the BBC let a son of a Hamas minister walk around looking for sympathy and demonising Israel for an hour in a documentary?

“The BBC is publishing Hamas propaganda.

“The current hierarchy at the BBC has turned a once respected state broadcaster into a propaganda outlet for a radical Islamic terror group.”

Tory peer Baroness Foster also blasted the Beeb, saying: “A total lack of accurate research resulted in an hour of propaganda and lies.”

Abdulla previously featured in a Channel 4 report in November 2023, soon after Israel’s bombardment of Gaza began.

He appeared under a different name with a man called Khalil Abushammala, who was said to be his father.

But Abushammala is actually his uncle and director of a group which campaigns for Palestinian prisoners.

It has links to the terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), according to Collier.

The PFLP took part in the October 7 attacks alongside Hamas.

A BBC spokesman said: “The documentary was produced in line with our editorial guidelines and the BBC had full editorial control.

“It was edited and directed from London, as independent international journalists are not allowed into Gaza.”

BIRMINGHAM’s Jay Stansfield was carried off on a stretcher in worrying scenes against Bradford.

The crowd of 27,066 clapped and chanted the striker’s name in support as he left the field at St Andrew’s during the EFL Trophy semi-final.

Stansfield appeared to land awkwardly on his foot and needed several minutes of treatment before being lifted away.

The ex-Fulham starlet, 22, had gone down under a challenge from Bantams defender Romoney Crichlow.

Stansfield immediately looked in severe pain as he grimaced and stayed on the floor.

It was soon obvious he could not continue as players from both sides looked concerned.

Alfie May came off the bench on the hour-mark to replace him.

It was Stansfield who had fired the Blues in front brilliantly in first-half stoppage time.

And it was a major talking point among fans when he went over in the box soon after the break, with no foul being awarded.

Bradford’s Bobby Pointon promptly levelled at the other end.

Lyndon Dykes headed Birmingham in front on 88 minutes.

But fans were more concerned about the condition of Stansfield.

SHOCKING police blunders which left Valdo Calocane free to kill three people are today exposed by The Sun.

Victims’ families have accused cops of having blood on their hands for 11 blunders which left Nottingham attacker Calocane free to kill.

A police watchdog report reveals that officers neglected to investigate Calocane’s attack on two colleagues at a warehouse weeks before his June 2023 rampage[/caption]

A police watchdog report obtained by The Sun reveals officers failed to properly investigate Calocane’s attack on two work colleagues at a warehouse weeks before his June 2023 rampage.

That case was earmarked for the bin a day before the paranoid schizophrenic fatally stabbed students Barnaby Webber and Grace O’Malley-Kumar, both 19, and school caretaker Ian Coates, 65.

On May 5, 2023, three Leicestershire Police officers were called to a warehouse in Kegworth.

Agency worker Calocane, 33, had allegedly pushed over one employee and punched another in the face at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions.

He was asked to leave and reached for a knife shortly after the assault, said witnesses.

The officers are accused of failing to act on that information, saying they were not told of a blade.

They failed to download CCTV footage of the attack to a USB stick, claiming each other had it on their body-worn camera.

They made no attempt to arrest Calocane or interview witnesses.

The cops failed to even check the Police National Computer which would have revealed Calocane was wanted for a 2022 attack on a police officer in Nottinghamshire.

The 11 total mistakes emerged in a report by the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC)

It concluded the investigation was “exceptionally poor” and “a missed opportunity” which may have prevented the Nottingham attack.

 Victims’ families told The Sun: “The damning failures exposed by this investigation are just another example of how our loved ones were badly failed by the authorities.

“If the police had just done their jobs properly by performing a simple check on the Police National Computer, Barnaby, Grace and Ian might still be alive today.

“Their failure to do even the most basic of policing means they have to live with the consequences of what happened.”

Previous inquiries found mistakes by Nottinghamshire cops, and that medics failed to ensure Calocane got medication for his illness.

The families said Leicestershire cops “have blood on their hands just as much”.

They branded the IOPC investigation of “very poor quality” and said they feel let down by the outcome.

They added: “The police force in question and the watchdog supposed to hold them to account are not fit for purpose.”

It is understood the Leicestershire officers face a misconduct meeting behind closed doors this month.

But they will not lose their jobs as the watchdog has drawn short of recommending gross misconduct charges for which they could have been sacked.

One was a female rookie. The other an experienced male PC acting as her tutor. They were supervised by a male sergeant.

By the time they arrived at the warehouse Calocane had been led away. The officers were initially given his wrong name.

But after obtaining his details from the recruitment agency on May 24, they did not look him up on the police computer.

If they had, they would have seen Calocane had an outstanding arrest warrant for punching and head-butting a police officer in 2022.

The computer also detailed six previous incidents including stalking and attacking housemates.

Calocane also kicked a neighbour’s front door — causing her to jump out of an upstairs window to escape him. The IOPC report concluded officers were “not responsible for the harm caused to the victims” of the Nottingham attack.

But investigators said if more efforts had been made to obtain evidence, check the computer or arrest Calocane, he’d have been “detained, prevented or deterred” from carrying out the horror.

Evidence wiped from servers

The report said the PCs were shown CCTV of the warehouse attack but failed to download it on a USB stick, with both claiming the other had recorded it on their body-worn video.

Neither saved the evidence and it was ultimately wiped from servers so could not be seen by the Nottinghamshire force.

The officers also failed to save body-worn video footage of the initial verbal accounts given by the Romanian warehouse victims.

No written accounts were taken because the PCs headed to another job. And at no stage did they call in a translator, said the report.

Despite repeated attempts to contact the victims via email and through their manager, neither officer visited them again in person.

And there is no evidence the list of witnesses provided to them were ever contacted for statements.

As a result, no arrest attempts were made. On June 12 the victims were messaged to tell them the matter would be filed by June 15 if they did not make contact.

Calocane went on the rampage the day after that message was sent.

The Arvato training coordinator who rang police told IOPC investigators her colleagues thought they had seen Calocane bending to pick up a knife as he was told to leave.

She said she mentioned this to the officers, but claimed they simply “peeked underneath the track to look where the knife was but they did not do anything else with the knife”. Both PCs denied being told Calocane had reached for a blade.

But the watchdog ruled this information “could suggest further risk that does not appear to have been recorded”.

The damning failures exposed by this investigation are just another example of how our loved ones were badly failed by the authorities.

Victims' families

In her interview under caution, the junior officer admitted she could have made more attempts to contact witnesses and retrieve CCTV.

She told the IOPC: “I’m really sorry that I didn’t do any of that.”

The female officer said she did not treat the case as a priority owing to a large workload, and blamed her mistakes on being brand new and having “no idea” how to handle the case.

The more experienced PC admitted there was “no hiding” from the fact they did not carry out intelligence checks quickly enough and that they could have been more robust in making an arrest attempt.

The sergeant failed to conduct a review of the case. He told the probe he was overworked, not lazy.

In January 2024 Calocane admitted manslaughter by diminished responsibility and was sentenced to a hospital order with restrictions.

Last August a Care Quality Commission review into the NHS trust where he was treated revealed officials missed at least eight chances to stop him killing.

One doctor warned he could kill three years before the Nottingham attack but the trust discharged him to his GP in September 2022.

This month, an independent report commissioned by NHS England said the risk the triple killer posed was “not fully understood, managed, documented or communicated” by medics. It revealed doctors allowed him to refuse antipsychotic medication because he did not like needles.

Tessa says not drinking has allowed her to fit back into old designer clothes from her wardrobe[/caption]

And as well as being a healthy lifestyle choice, cutting out alcohol has also allowed the stylish mum of four – founder of the Scottish Fashion Awards – to hunt out some old designer gems from her wardrobe.

Posing in a fitting black and white dress on Instagram, Tessa said: “Seven months and counting no booze.

“Feeling fabulous and fitting this Moschino dress from about 10 years ago.

“We keep hustling, I may even grow my hair.”

Tessa doesn’t make a secret of her love for vintage designer pieces.

“Look after something well and it will last a lifetime“, she said in one social media post.

She has also joked she’s a “hoarder” and still has designer dresses, including Gucci, which belonged to her late mum.

But this, she revealed, means she can pass pieces on to the next generation.

Tessa, from Glasgow, is mum to singer Tallia Storm, 26, and Tessie, 27 – who rocked one of her late gran’s frocks on a recent night out.

The Hartmann family live in a mansion on the tax haven island of Jersey when they’re not jet-setting around the world.

Tessa is best known for starring in reality telly favourite The Real Housewives of Jersey.

But she is also the founder of sustainable swimwear brand HartiSWIM which offers the consumer something stylish, original, and unique.

The unique swimwear is made from recycled plastic bottles collected from oceans.

Her commitment to the franchise stretches decades.
