MADRID -- Sevilla wants to show it is ready to reach the next level.After three straight titles in the Europa League, the Spanish club is hoping to thrive among the best soccer teams on the continent.And the first step toward that goal may come Tuesday against Juventus, when it can secure a spot in the knockout round of the Champions League for the first time since 2010.A draw against the Italian champions at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium will be enough to get the club back in the decisive stages of Europes top competition, and a win will guarantee first place in Group H.We want to advance now so we dont have to depend on a result in the final game in Lyon, Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli said Monday. We must try to take control of the game from the start and go after the victory. We are not thinking that a point will be enough.Sevilla won five Europa League titles in the last 11 seasons, but it has not succeeded in the Champions League since making it to the round of 16 in the 2009-10 season, when it was eventually eliminated by CSKA Moscow. It also advanced past the group stage in the 2007-08 season, when it later lost to Fenerbahce in the last 16.---GROUP EHarry Kanes return from injury might just be the catalyst that revives Tottenhams Champions League campaign.The England striker, who was the Premier Leagues top scorer last season, has scored three goals in his first two matches back after seven weeks out with an ankle injury, and should lead Tottenhams attack for what could be a must-win game at Monaco.Tottenham has only four points from four games so far, and will be eliminated if they fail to win in southern France and Bayer Leverkusen wins at CSKA Moscow.Monaco leads the group by two points. If the French team wins, it will be assured of qualifying in first place if Leverkusen doesnt win in Russia.---GROUP FLeicester gets a second chance to clinch qualification for the knockout stage in its first Champions League campaign. This time, it comes at home.The English champions host Club Brugge at King Power Stadium, needing only a draw to advance. Leicester beat the Belgian team 3-0 in their first meeting in the group and is still unbeaten after four games.The situation couldnt be more different in the Premier League, with Leicester only two points above the relegation zone after a tough start to its title defense.This season Im watching behind me, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri said. The relegation is very close to us.Leicester is three points ahead of FC Porto, which visits third-place FC Copenhagen in the groups other game.---GROUP GStill unbeaten this season, defending champion Real Madrid needs a draw at Sporting Lisbon to reach the last 16 of the Champions League for the 20th straight time.The game marks a return to Lisbon for the first time since winning the 2014 trophy against Atletico Madrid at the Estadio da Luz.Cristian Ronaldo, again facing the team in which he started his career, will have another chance to become the first player to score 100 goals in European competitions. The Portuguese forward, coming off a hat trick in the Madrid derby in the Spanish league, is two goals short of the milestone.Borussia Dortmund, boosted by a win over Bayern Munich in the German league, can secure first place when it visits already eliminated Legia Warsow. It will be without goalkeeper Roman Buerki, who broke his hand in the match against Bayern.Sporting needs to defeat Madrid to stay alive.---GROUP HA victory at Sevilla will guarantee Juventus a spot in the next round, although it can also advance if Lyon fails to win at Dinamo Zagreb.The Italian champions will travel to Spain with a depleted offense, however, because Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala are out with injuries, leaving only Mario Mandzukic and 16-year-old Moise Kean as options to play up front. Defenders Medhi Benatia and Andrea Barzagli are also out injured.Sevilla may be without injured midfielder Samir Nasri.Juventus was held by Sevilla to a 0-0 home draw earlier this season, and a loss to the Spanish club in the group stage a year ago left the Italians second in their group.Sevilla has won seven of its last nine matches, with the only setbacks coming in a draw at Sporting Gijon and a home loss to Barcelona.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni Buy Adidas Shoes Ireland . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago.

After Gasquet beat fifth-seeded Ivan Dodig of Croatia 7-5, 6-3, Tsonga followed up with a 6-7 (3), 6-2, 6-2 win against sixth-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin in an all-French match. ARLINGTON, Texas -- From CC Sabathia to Yu Darvish, the Seattle Mariners are in a tough stretch of opposing pitchers that wont get any easier after their sixth loss in seven games.Now its time to face Cole Hamels.Darvish struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings and Carlos Beltran homered among three hits, helping the Texas Rangers beat the Mariners 6-3 on Monday night.The American League-leading Rangers dropped the Mariners into third place, a game behind Houston and 9 1/2 back of Texas.Over the past seven games, Seattle has been held to one or no runs by Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka of the Yankees and Carlos Rodon of the White Sox. The lone win in that stretch -- a 3-1 victory -- came despite 14 strikeouts from Chicago ace Chris Sale, and thanks to Mariners ace Felix Hernandez.Its very good pitching. What are you going to say? Seattle manager Scott Servais said. When you catch the guys how were catching the rotations right now, its just where were at. Weve just got to continue to grind and hang in there.For the ninth straight time since the All-Star break, the lefty Hamels will follow Darvish in the rotation Tuesday night. The Rangers are 11-6 in those starts with five straight wins.I think its huge to have your one and two going back-to-back, manager Jeff Banister said. Yu set the table tonight with what he was capable of doing, really keeping their hitters off balance. Its a big plus to have those two guys at the front of the rotation for us.Darvish (5-3) easily outpitched fellow Japanese right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma for his third straight win, leaving to a standing ovation with a 6-1 lead in the seventh after throwing 110 pitches, the most since his return from Tommy John surgery.The Mariners tagged Darvish for two runs on Franklin Gutierrezs double off reliever Jake Diekman before Keone Kela struck out Nelson Cruz as tthe potential tying run.ddddddddddddSam Dyson struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 30th save, giving Texas 13 strikeouts.Beltran had a solo homer in the first and a double that was one of three straight run-scoring extra-base hits in a four-run third against Iwakuma (14-10), who lost his third straight start while matching his shortest outing of the season at three innings.Iwakuma allowed a season-high five runs for the fourth time.It was the third time Darvish and Iwakuma have faced each other in the majors, and Darvish has two wins. The Rangers have won his last five starts after losing the previous five straight.WHICH WAYS UP?Adrian Beltre jokingly turned his helmet backward as he came to the plate to face ambidextrous pitcher Pat Venditte in the fifth, drawing a big grin from the Seattle reliever, who said Beltre did the same thing when they faced each other for the first time last year. It must work for Beltre. The 37-year-old doubled against Venditte, just as he did last year. I think hes just trying to get some laughs, Venditte said.SHORT HOPSSeattle center fielder Leonys Martin, playing in his old home park, took a home run away from Ian Desmond with a leaping catch above the wall in right-center in the seventh. ... Carlos Gomez struck out three times and is 0 for 18 with 10 strikeouts since homering in his first at-bat for Texas. ... Mike Zunino had four strikeouts, three against Darvish.UP NEXTMariners: LHP James Paxton (4-5, 3.63 ERA) makes his second start since returning from a left elbow injury after getting struck by a line drive.Rangers: LHP Hamels (14-4, 2.67) is tied with Tampa Bays Jake Odorizzi for the lowest ERA among AL starters since the All-Star break at 1.59.
