Vilanova granted minutes silence in Champions League semi-final

Uefa announce that a minute's silence will be held before both Champions League semi-final second legs in memory of Tito Vilanova and Vujadin Boskov. Vilanova, who led Barcelona to the Spanish league title in 2012-13, died on Friday, aged 45, after contracting cancer.

Boskov, who died on Sunday at the age of 82, led Real Madrid to the Spanish double in 1980 and Sampdoria to their sole Serie A triumph in 1991. The Serbian also took Yugoslavia to the quarter-finals of Euro 2000.
