Midweek football moves into knockout territory as the UEFA Champions League play–offs begin, while crucial domestic fixtures in the Premier League and Serie A could shape the title picture. Fans can watch all the action live on SuperSport, exclusively on DStv and GOtv.

Champions League: First–Leg Drama Awaits

On Tuesday at 6:45 p.m., Galatasaray host Juventus in what promises to be a fierce contest in Istanbul. The Turkish champions have built a formidable home record and will look to capitalise on Juventus’ injury concerns. Juventus are expected to rely on young Kenan Yıldız to lead the attack in a high–pressure environment. The match airs live on SS Football Plus HD (DStv Ch. 202).

At 9:00 p.m., Benfica welcome Real Madrid in one of the round’s headline ties, live on SS Football Plus HD (DStv Ch. 202). Madrid were forced into the play–offs after a surprise defeat to Mourinho’s side in the last game of the league phase. Kylian Mbappé is fit to start, but injuries to Jude Bellingham and the suspension of Rodrygo present selection challenges.

Also at 9:00 p.m., Monaco face Paris Saint–Germain in an all–French European clash. PSG enter as favourites but have shown signs of inconsistency domestically, while Monaco’s organisation at home makes them dangerous opponents. The game will be broadcast live on SS Premier League (GOtv Ch. 65, DStv Ch. 203).

On Wednesday at 6:45 p.m., Newcastle United travel to face Qarabag FK. The long journey to Baku presents a unique test, with the hosts boasting a strong European home record. Newcastle will look to secure a valuable first–leg result. Watch live on SS Football Plus HD (DStv Ch. 202).

At 9:00 p.m., Inter Milan face a challenging trip to Norway against Bodo/Glimt. The Italian side arrives on a strong winning run but must cope with sub–zero conditions and a synthetic pitch. The match airs live on SS Action (GOtv Ch. 66, DStv Ch. 206).

Also at 9:00 p.m., Atletico Madrid visit Club Brugge in another finely balanced encounter. Atletico’s recent form has fluctuated dramatically, and they will need a clinical display from Julián Álvarez and Ademola Lookman to gain the upper hand. This fixture will be shown live on SS Football Plus HD (DStv Ch. 202).

League Action: Title Implications at Stake

In the Premier League on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m., Wolves host Arsenal in a pivotal match at both ends of the table. Arsenal have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top to seven points, while Wolves remain rooted to the bottom and desperate for points. The match will air live on SS Premier League (GOtv Ch. 65, DStv Ch. 203).

In Serie A, AC Milan face Como at 8:45 p.m. in a high–stakes Lombardy Derby. Milan’s game in hand offers the chance to cut Inter’s lead to five points and reignite the title chase. Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leão are available, while Como aim to bounce back from a recent defeat. The match will be broadcast live on SS Africa 2 (GOtv Ch. 64, DStv Ch. 208).

Preparations are underway for the inaugural Miss Ayobo-Ipaja Beauty Pageant, which the chairman of the Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos, Mr Agbaje Lukmon Abiodun, says aligns with his administration’s open-door policy and dedication to community engagement.

Addressing the media on the forthcoming event, the council chief noted that the beauty contest would also be used to showcase the creative side of Ayobo-Ipaja.

The pageant, themed Cleaner Ayobo-Ipaja, Business Post gathered, seeks to raise awareness against indiscriminate refuse dumping while promoting environmental cleanliness.

It was further learned that, beyond its advocacy, the event provides a platform to discover and nurture young talents, producing knowledgeable and confident representatives capable of competing on a global stage.

Mr Agbaje also emphasised that the initiative underscores the LCDA’s commitment to community development, environmental awareness, and youth empowerment, urging residents, community leaders, and others to participate actively in this inaugural event.

“The chairman is committed to ensuring that the LCDA remains a hub for youth development and community initiatives,” a statement issued by Mr Agbaje’s Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Mr Amuwa Mayowa, stated.

One of the partners of the proposed contest, Queen Bodaf and Haasty Global, stressed that the pageant transcends physical beauty, as it emphasises intelligence, creativity, and social responsibility.

“We are looking for a young woman who embodies the values of Ayobo-Ipaja and can represent the community with pride,” a representative of the organisation said.

Many Africans grow up learning to manage money, time, expectations,  and even dreams. Bills come first and responsibilities take over, while enjoyment is often postponed indefinitely.. Over time, this habit shapes more than routines; it quietly shapes how we experience life.

Even small pleasures, like relaxing after work, follow the same rule. Ask someone how they unwind, and the answer is almost always: “I just want to watch a good movie.” But the films they really want like Hollywood blockbusters, thrillers, often seem out of reach. They assume these stories are for those who can afford premium subscriptions or foreign platforms.

So, they settle, they scroll past channels they think won’t have what they want. They stick to what feels familiar. And without realising it, they limit themselves.

What many don’t know is that some of these movies are already available on GOtv, quietly waiting to be discovered. Here are a few shows currently airing:

Fast & Furious

Fast & Furious is more than just cars and explosions, though there’s plenty of both. At the centre is Dominic Toretto, a man whose world revolves around family, loyalty, and living fast. He and his crew aren’t just street racers; they’re a tight-knit group who take risks, break rules, and push limits at every turn. Every chase and every stunt isn’t just about adrenaline, it’s about trust, about knowing the people beside you will always have your back. And that’s why, even with all the chaos, you keep coming back: for the action, sure, but also for the bonds that hold them together.

Next Three Days

When Lara is suddenly jailed for a murder she swears she didn’t commit, her world collapses, and her devoted husband, John, faces a choice no one should have to make. Determined to free the woman he loves, John hatches a daring, high-stakes plan to challenge the law itself. Tension builds with every calculated move, each moment more suspenseful than the last, as love, desperation, and courage collide in a race against time. Will he succeed, or will the price of loyalty be too high?

Who Am I

Benjamin, a brilliant but anonymous hacker, starts out for fun,  small-scale digital tricks and clever intrusions. But as his exploits grow bolder, he draws the attention of powerful authorities and dangerous criminal forces. Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Benjamin must outsmart those hunting him while navigating a world where trust is rare, and identities are never what they seem.
