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.Alen Boksic and Alessandro Del Piero each scored twice as Juventus, the European champions, thrashed Rapid Vienna 5-0 last night to strengthen their position at the top of Group C, Manchester United's section of the Champions' League. Juventus are unbeaten on 10 points, but with two games to play they are not sure of reaching the last eight as one of the top two finishers.
The Serbian Ljubimko Drulovic scored from a free-kick just outside the penalty area, and set up two other goals as Porto beat Norway's Rosenborg Trondheim 3-0 in Oporto to secure a place in the last eight.
Milan squandered a two-goal lead on their way to a hard-fought 4-2 home victory over IFK Gothenburg in the night's other Group D match.
A header by the Croatian Zvonimir Boban and a penalty by Demetrio Albertini put them 2-0 up, but defensive lapses let in Jesper Blomqvist and Andreas Andersson to, square the match. Tomas Locatelli put Milan in front again just before half-time and Roberto Baggio made the game safe for Milan in the last minute.
