YouTube made a World Cup deal with FIFA on Tuesday that lets rights-holding broadcasters stream game action live on the video platform that offers global access to young viewers, Reuters reported.

FIFA announced a "game-changing partnership" that encourages World Cup rights holders to broadcast the first 10 minutes of games during the June 11-July 19 tournament -- in effect an appetizer encouraging young fans then to watch on traditional channels such as network TV.

In addition, broadcasters "will be able to stream a select number of matches in full on their YouTube channel, engaging global audiences and promoting where to watch more of the competition," FIFA said, according to Reuters. 

Pep Guardiola cut a familiar figure on Tuesday, proud of his team's fight, frustrated by the circumstances and insistent that Manchester City's future remains bright despite a third straight Champions League elimination at the hands of Real Madrid, Reuters reported. 

After losing the first leg 3-0, City conceded a penalty and were reduced to 10 men after 22 minutes of Tuesday's return fixture after captain Bernardo Silva's handball.

That made an improbable task virtually unmanageable, and Guardiola did not hide how much that moment coloured everything that followed, according to Reuters. 

Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr scored twice as the Spanish side eased into the Champions League quarter‑finals on March 17, beating 10-man Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium to complete a 5-1 aggregate victory, Reuters reported. 

Vinicius put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute after the VAR judged Bernardo Silva to have handled his shot on the line, a decision that also reduced City to 10 men and made an already daunting task seemingly impossible.

Pep Guardiola’s men were not waving the white flag however and Erling Haaland levelled in the 41st minute when he tapped in a pass from Jeremy Doku from close range, according to Reuters. 

Paris Saint Germain coach Luis Enrique hailed his players' ruthlessness in front of goal in their 3-0 defeat ​of Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday which gave the reigning European champions an 8-2 aggregate win over the Londoners, Reuters reported. 

"We were very precise," the Spaniard told reporters. "We scored the first ​two goals very quickly and that was the key ​to the game."

PSG raced into a 2-0 lead within ⁠14 minutes thanks to goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley ​Barcola. Substitute Senny Mayulu made it 3-0 in the 62nd ​minute, according to Reuters. 

Morocco were declared Africa Cup of Nations champions and ​Senegal were stripped of the title after an appeal over the result of the final was upheld by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on Tuesday, Reuters reported. 

Senegal were ruled to have forfeited the game in the Moroccan capital Rabat on January 18 because they walked off the pitch in protest at a potentially decisive penalty awarded against them.

They returned after 14 minutes to win the match 1-0 courtesy of a Pape Gueye goal in extra time. CAF's Appeal Board on Tuesday replaced that result with ​a 3-0 victory for Morocco, according to Reuters. 

A drone attack targeted ​the U.S. embassy in Baghdad and an explosion was heard in the area, security sources ​said early on Wednesday, ​a day after a series of ⁠strikes, Reuters reported. 

Security sources had said ​on Tuesday that rocket and ​drone attacks had targeted the embassy, triggering sirens with an explosion heard ​near the diplomatic compound.

At ​least three explosive drones also targeted ‌a ⁠U.S. diplomatic facility near Baghdad International Airport, activating C-RAM air defence systems, the sources ​said on ​Tuesday, according to Reuters. 

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the United States had been informed by most of its NATO ​allies that they did not want to get involved with the ‌country's military operation in Iran, a move he described as a "very foolish mistake."

But Trump gave no indication that he plans to punish NATO allies for their stances, as he took ​questions from reporters in the Oval Office during the St. Patrick's ​Day visit of Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, Reuters reported. 

Trump said NATO ⁠countries were supportive of the joint U.S.-Israeli war, which has now entered its ​third week, even as they did not want to get involved.
