Day of laughter

An international day of laughter will be held today following Liverpool's exit from the Champions League.The champions underperformed last night and were eliminated by a less-than-impressive Benfica.Liverpool never seemed to produce the onslaught expected and were killed off by a great strike by Simao.Benfica's second minutes from time was the nail in the coffin.

Arsenal are now the UK's sole representatives in the quarter finals after an excellent 0-0 draw in Madrid.The quarter-final draw is on Eurosport at 11.15am Friday.
