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.

Liverpool easily saw off Spartak Moscow in their final Champions League group game to seal top spot in Group E.

35' - Quincy Promes has looked lively so far for the visitors. This time he shoots from distance but his effort is straight at Loris Karius, who saves comfortably.

36' - What a miss! Mo Salah's flicked pass plays Sadio Mane in on goal but the Senegalese makes a right mess of his finish, spooning the ball well over the crossbar with only the goalkeeper to beat.

38' - Decent effort. Mo Salah attempts to shape the ball into the top corner from just outside the box but his effort goes just wide of the upright.
