Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Another week of Champions League football has come and gone, gifting us plenty to dissect.
First, Tottenham vs Ajax. We ask just how good the Dutch outfit were, whether Mauricio Pochettino got his tactics wrong and if there is any hope for the second leg. Could Ajax find themselves under more pressure now that they are expected to progress?
Then on to Barcelona, where a very impressive Liverpool performance still led to a disastrous result. They can take plenty of credit but is it any solace now that their brilliant season hangs by a thread?
It was Lionel Messi’s goal that decided the encounter: given the state of the tie, was that the goal that won the Champions League? And given how dedicated Messi is to his art, is there another player in another sport who comes close to him?
