The industry’s first 2nm chipsets are launching later this year, with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro rumored on multiple occasions to take advantage of TSMC’s next-generation lithography. As expected, this manufacturing process is costly, with phone makers likely adopting these solutions in their absolute top-tier offerings, and in the middle of a DRAM crisis, their margins will be drastically affected. Fortunately, the latest rumor from a tipster states that Qualcomm will have plenty of options arriving this year for customers, allowing them to offer immense diversification of smartphone models in the fourth quarter […]

US spot Bitcoin ETFs have logged six consecutive weeks of net inflows, the longest such streak since a seven-week run that drew in $7.57 billion in the summer of 2025.

Vincenzo Montella'nın eski yardımcısı Enzo Maresca'nın Fenerbahçe'nin başına geçmek için Chelsea'den alacağı 12 milyon sterlin'lik tazminattan vazgeçmeye hazır olduğu iddia edildi.

Aday bile olmayan Mehmet Ali Aydınlar'ın Fenerbahçe başkanı seçilmesi durumunda Chelsea'den kovulan Enzo Maresca ile Londra'da anlaşmaya vardığı iddia edildi.

Türk Milli Takımı'nın eski hocası Montella'nın bir zamanlar yardımcısı olan İtalyan teknik adam Chelsea ile 2024 yılında 4 milyon sterlin değerinde 5+1 yıllık bir sözleşmeye imza atmıştı.

Ayrılığın nasıl olduğu açıklanmadı... ancak İngiliz basını Chelsea'nın önümüzdeki 3 sezonda İtalyan teknik adama maaşını ödemeye devam ederek büyük bir tazminatı tek seferde ödememe yolunu seçtiğine dair haberler yaptı.

Eğer iddia edildiği gibi Maresca, Fenerbahçe'ye gelseydi ya da gelirse, İtalyan teknik adam 3 yıl için 12 milyon sterlin'i bulan tazminatını bırakması gerekecek/gerekiyor.

Marseca'nın sözleşmesinde "başka bir iş bulursa, yeni işinden aldığı maaş kadar miktar mevcut tazminattan düşülür" maddesi yer aldığı iddia ediliyor.

Bu arada İtalyan basınında yer alan haberlerde ise Maresca'nın Premier Lig'den teklif beklediği, özellikle de Pep Guardiola'nın ayrılması durumunda Manchester City'nin başına geçmek istediği aktarıldı.

2024 yılında Bayern Münih'i, Avusturya Milli Takım teknik direktörlüğü için reddeden Ralf Rangnick'in Dünya Kupası'ndan önce Mehmet Ali Aydınlar'la Fenerbahçe'nin futbol aklı olmak için anlaştığı iddia edildi.

Başkan adayı olması beklenen Mehmet Ali Aydınlar'ın futbol aklı olarak Avusturya Milli Takım teknik direktörü Ralf Rangnick ile belli bir noktaya geldiği iddia edildi.

Rangnick, 2024 yılının Mayıs ayında Bayern Münih'ten gelen resmi teklifi reddederek Avusturya Milli Takımı'nda kalmaya karar verdiğini açıklamıştı.

68 yaşındaki futbol adamının 2026 Dünya Kupası sonuna kadar, Avusturya Milli Takımı ile teknik direktörlük anlaşması var.

İddia edildiği gibi Rangnick, Fenerbahçe'nin "futbol aklı" olarak anlaşsaydı bile Dünya Kupası maçları nedeniyle en iyi ihtimalle Temmuz ayında göreve başlayacaktı.

Yani 2026-27 sezonu için teknik direktörün seçilmesinden, kamp programının yapılmasından ve Şampiyonlar Ligi ya da UEFA Avrupa Ligi kadroların verilmesiyle hemen hemen aynı tarihte.

Beşiktaş'ta bütün gözler derbiye çevrildi. İstifa mektubu zaten cebinde olan Sergen Yalçın, çArşı'nın bu akşam Trabzonspor maçının ilk 5 dakikasına sahaya sırtlarını dönme kararına ne tepki vereceği merak konusu.

Beşiktaş'ın elendiği Konyaspor maçından sonra "istifa sinyali veren" Sergen Yalçın bu akşam Trabzonspor karşısında "istifa mektubunu imzalayıp" Başkan Serdal Adalı'ya sunabilir.

Yalçın'ın kararında tribünlerin tavrı etkili olacak. Konyaspor maçından sonra, "ben olsam ben de istifa derdim" diyen Yalçın'a göre taraftarın kendisiyle ilgili asıl fikri bu akşam Trabzonspor maçındaki tavrıyla netleşecek. Eğer yine "istifa" derlerse gidecek.

Bu arada Beşiktaş'ın en büyük taraftar grubu çArşı enteresan bir çıkış yaptı. Trabzonspor maçının ilk 5 dakikasında sahaya sırtlarını döneceklerini açıkladı. Sonrasında tepkilerinin Sergen Yalçın'a mı, yönetime mi döneceği Beşiktaş'ın belki de gelecek sezonunu etkileyecek.

As the Serie A season enters its final weeks, there is still a lot to play for. The league winners might be known, but the race for the Champions League places is heating up.

Inter are now guaranteed to finish top of the table after their 2-0 victory against Parma, which clinched the Scudetto. That leaves three qualification spots remaining, but five teams are all pushing for them.

Who, though, has the best chance of finishing in the top four? Here’s a closer look at the matches each team in contention has left, and who is the most likely to qualify.

Napoli – 70 points

Antonio Conte’s men might have fallen short of defending their status as champions, but they look all but certain to qualify for the Champions League. A goalless draw against Como means that they only need one win and one draw from their three remaining games to guarantee a top-four finish.

Napoli face ninth-placed Bologna in their next match, but their away fixture against struggling Pisa should be their best chance of a victory. They then play Udinese in their final match, although that could be a potential slip-up that teams can capitalise on, as I Friulani emerged as 1-0 victors when the two sides met in December 2025.

Milan – 67 points

A victory against Sassuolo would have put Milan on the brink of qualification, but a defeat has put the pressure on. Now only three points ahead of fifth-placed Roma, the Rossoneri need to bounce back from their latest setback, and quickly.

Fortunately, while their next match against Atalanta will be difficult, the final two matches of the season are much more straightforward. Milan have a trip to Genoa on May 17, before they then host Cagliari at the San Siro in their final game. Both teams lie in the bottom half of the table, and while Genoa did manage a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture against Milan back in January, the 19-time champions will still be confident in their chances.

Juventus – 65 points

Milan’s failure to beat Sassuolo might have been punished had Juventus beaten Verona. But, in spite of that 1-1 draw, La Vecchia Signora should feel the most optimistic. While they are only one point ahead of Roma, Luciano Spalletti’s side now only play teams in the bottom half of the table.

Lecce could be a potential mistake waiting to happen, but their win against Pisa was their only win in seven. Juve will also be heavy favourites in their matches against Fiorentina and Torino.

Because Juventus is the team in Serie A with the biggest global following, fans across the world will be making the most of betting bonuses, such as a 1win promo code for India readers, to back Juve to qualify for the Champions League. They have a lot going in their favour, but only time will tell if they manage to get over the line.

Roma – 64 points

Roma might have lost four more games than Como, but the Giallorossi still find themselves among the chasing pack for Champions League football. It’s been seven seasons since they last played in the competition, but if things go their way, that streak might come to an end.

A win against Fiorentina has put them in fifth, but there’s no question that their route to the top four is more difficult than their rivals. They face Parma away from home next before the Derby della Capitale against Lazio.

Nevertheless, Roma have not lost to their rivals since January 2024 and will be confident of extending that run as they pursue European football. If the teams above them drop more points, then it could all come down to their final match of the season against Verona on May 24.

Como – 62 points

A win against Napoli would have put Como in control of their bid for Champions League football. Now, I Lariani need to win the maximum nine points from their last three games and hope that other teams can do them a favour if they are to have any chance.

Cesc Fabregas – who recently ruled out a move to Chelsea – has the team with sufficient quality to win three matches on the spin, and their remaining fixtures also lend themselves to potential success. They face bottom-three sides Verona and Cremonese, either side of a home fixture against 12th-placed Parma, whom they have not lost to since 2023 in Serie B. Nevertheless, the Lombardy-based club has a mountain to climb to qualify for the Champions League.

Both Lazio and Inter are likely to make squad rotations in their Serie A match today, as they prepare for next week’s Coppa Italia Final, but the Nerazzurri captain, Lautaro Martinez, is still expected to start.

It kicks off at 18:00 CET (17:00 BST) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

It’s Inter’s first game as defending Serie A champions, as the Nerazzurri secured the Scudetto with three games to spare last week.

Lazio are four points below a Conference League placement, but their priority remains next Wednesday’s Coppa Italia Final, also against the Nerazzurri.

Francesco Pio Esposito and Hakan Calhanoglu are unavailable for Inter, but while the Italian striker is expected to recover in time for next week’s Final, Calhanoglu is not likely to make it.

Lazio get to this match without the injured Samuel Gigot, Ivan Provedel, Alessio Furlanetto, Danilo Cataldi, Elseid Hysaj and their captain Mattia Zaccagni.

As reported by Gazzetta, Italy international Davide Frattesi is set to make a rare start for Inter in the middle of the park, so Nicolò Barella will rest.

Marcus Thuram is also expected to start on the bench, making room for Ange-Yoan Bonny and Lautaro Martinez up front.

Lazio vs. Inter – probable line-ups

The match will be broadcast live on DAZN in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a liveblog.

Lazio vs. Inter – where to watch on TV

Inter (3-5-2): Martinez Jo.; Bisseck, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Sucic, Frattesi, Mkhitaryan, Carlos Augusto; Lautaro Martinez, Bonny.

Lazio (4-3-3): Motta; Lazzari, Provstgaard, Romagnoli, Pellegrini; Basic, Rovella, Taylor; Isaksen, Maldini, Noslin.

Dusan Vlahovic is set to return to the Juventus starting XI for the first time in over five months as the Bianconeri seek a win against a Lecce side that is fighting for survival.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Via Del Mare in Lecce.

The home side have a four-point advantage over the relegation zone, so a win would almost certainly allow them to secure survival, while Juventus sit fourth in the standings, but their lead over fifth-placed Roma has been reduced to just one point following back-to-back draws against Milan and Hellas Verona.

The Bianconeri have travelled to Lecce without the injured Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cabal.

Serbia international Vlahovic is expected to start his first game since November 29, as reported by Sky Sport and Gazzetta.

Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceiçao will complete the Old Lady’s attack.

Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar, Riccardo Sottil and Sadik Fofana are unavailable for Lecce, where Walid Cheddira is the favourite over Nikola Stulic for a starting spot as a lone striker.

Lecce vs. Juventus – where to watch on TV

The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2, DAZN and HBO Max in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a liveblog.

Lecce vs. Juventus – probable line-ups

Lecce (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Danilo Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Ngom, Ramadani; Pierotti, Coulibaly, Banda; Cheddira. 

Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceição, Yildiz; Vlahovic. 

Arsenal have been tipped to change the course of their history if they win the Champions League final this season, with a transfer like Kylian Mbappe perhaps within their reach.

That’s the view of former Gunners midfielder Emmanuel Petit, who believes there could be a chance of Mbappe leaving Real Madrid this summer.

Still, overall he feels it’s probably not realistic, even if Arsenal’s status would be transformed by finally winning the European Cup.

Mbappe would undoubtedly be a dream signing for Arsenal after so many world class performances throughout his career, even if he also comes with a big ego.

Arsenal could pounce for unsettled Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe has 85 goals in 100 games for Real Madrid, but it’s also true that his move to the Bernabeu hasn’t been entirely successful so far.

The France international’s future seems in some doubt at the moment, and this has led to Petit to call for AFC to snap him up if they win the Champions League.

“If Arsenal win the Champions League for the first time then it would change the course of their history and send a strong message in the transfer market,” Petit is quoted by the Sun.

“Players would of course want to play for the Champions League winners and hope they can go and win it again, it would help them attract Kylian Mbappe if he does leave Real Madrid.”

Kylian Mbappe would be a game-changer for Arsenal

Mbappe is one of the best players in the world, and it would be great to see him coming to the Premier League.

Even if it’s unrealistic, here’s how we scored Mbappe to Arsenal with our Transfer Fit rating system…

The only downside to this deal is the price, while Mbappe is also not the youngest, but he’s an elite goal-scorer who can also provide an option on the left-hand side of a front three.

The 27-year-old would be a huge upgrade on the likes of Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz up front, and on Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard on the left.

Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing up a potential summer transfer window swoop for Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento as they also chase his teammate Anthony Gordon.

Gordon has been strongly linked with Bayern by Christian Falk and others, but it looks like other Newcastle stars are also facing uncertainty ahead of this summer.

There has previously been talk of Livramento and others possibly leaving St James’ Park, as per the Telegraph, while Arsenal have been linked as suitors for the England international in a report from BBC Sport.

Livramento has shone at Newcastle, and now a report from Fichajes states that Bayern are the latest club to show an interest in him.

Tino Livramento to Arsenal or Bayern?

Livramento makes sense as someone who could now be keen to make the step up to a higher level after a difficult and frustrating season for Newcastle.

Eddie Howe’s side were thrashed by Barcelona in the Champions League and have dropped to 13th in the Premier League table, making European football highly unlikely for next season.

Livramento is more than good enough to be playing at the top, so it will be interesting to see if he ends up somewhere like Arsenal or Bayern.

Fichajes suggest Bayern are now stepping up their interest, though the report adds that NUFC want as much as £70m to let the 23-year-old go.

That seems a lot to be paying for someone with a slightly worrying recent injury record, so it will be interesting to see how realistic a deal is for that price.

Still, Newcastle also surely need to push for a big fee or else they’re at risk of losing far too many important players in one go this summer, just a year on from the blow of losing Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

Chelsea are understood to be on alert for the possible transfer of Arsenal attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri as his situation at the Emirates Stadium as changed.

The highly-rated 19-year-old was not initially loaned out to Marseille to be put in the shop window, but Arsenal could now be open to letting him go for the right price this summer, as first reported here for the Daily Briefing.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

Chelsea are one of the clubs with a long term appreciation of Nwaneri, and they could revisit this deal if he does indeed end up moving on from Arsenal at the end of this campaign.

For now, it’s not clear that Nwaneri himself is pushing to leave, but there may perhaps be concerns with his development after murmurings of attitude problems at Marseille training.

What sources are saying about Ethan Nwaneri transfer

As well as Chelsea, sources have named Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and AC Milan as clubs keeping an eye on Nwaneri’s situation, while at least three other Premier League teams are also monitoring developments.

Meanwhile, Arsenal could be tempted to cash in on Nwaneri for around £35-40m, with the sale to count as ‘pure profit’ from a PSR perspective due to the fact that the England Under-21 international came up through the Gunners’ academy.

“Nwaneri is struggling right now and that means Arsenal are going to have to consider a sale,” one source said. “Things can change quickly, but he clearly isn’t progressing as expected, and they’ll feel they can get a decent fee for him.

Want more CaughtOffside coverage? Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trust

“Chelsea have tried signing him before. They’re still keeping an eye on how this develops, as are Dortmund, Juventus, and Milan. Many top clubs in England and Europe still see him as a fantastic talent, and he might benefit from a fresh start.”

Could Ethan Nwaneri be the right signing for Chelsea?

Chelsea haven’t got a lot right in the transfer market in recent times, but their policy of recruiting top young players has occasionally gone well for them.

Joao Pedro has been a big hit since joining from Brighton, while Cole Palmer was in a similar situation at Manchester City to Nwaneri’s at Arsenal now when he moved to Stamford Bridge.

May 9 2026, 9:20

Using our Transfer Fit rating system, we score Nwaneri to Chelsea 16/25 – a promising young player in a position they need, who wouldn’t cost a fortune, but who also isn’t in the best form right now.

Arsenal might be wary of selling a top prospect like Nwaneri to a rival, but it currently seems unlikely that he’s going to become a key first-team player in Mikel Arteta’s squad.

These two London rivals have also done business plenty of times before, with big names like Kai Havertz, Jorginho, Noni Madueke, and Kepa Arrizabalaga all moving from Chelsea to Arsenal in the last few years.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly already thinking about Real Madrid transfer targets if he ends up returning to the Bernabeu as manager.

The Benfica boss has been in talks over returning to Real Madrid for a second spell, according to the Athletic, and he’ll surely be keen to make several changes to this squad.

It’s been a difficult season for the Spanish giants, and one particular area of concern seems to be in midfield.

DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAY

According to Fichajes, this has led Mourinho to look for Real to sign one of Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez, Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister, or Newcastle’s Sandro Tonali.

Jose Mourinho wants more control in midfield

Madrid have some fine midfield players, but they’ve struggled to adequately replace the quality of legendary duo Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.

Even if Fernandez and Mac Allister are not quite at that level, they are arguably more similar in playing style due to their ability to get on the ball and dictate play.

Chelsea could also be open to selling Fernandez, which makes him a realistic target, so Los Blancos fans will no doubt keep an eye on how this saga progresses.

Could Alexis Mac Allister leave Liverpool?

Meanwhile, there are some doubts over Mac Allister’s Liverpool future after comments from the player’s father.

Liverpool Eyeing Champions League Qualification Amidst Key Developments

Liverpool are preparing to face Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday, with crucial points on the line as they battle for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification. However, a series of off-field stories have captured the spotlight ahead of the match, overshadowing the on-pitch action. These developments, including Darwin Núñez’s potential return to the Premier League and ticket price hikes, add extra layers of intrigue to the Reds’ current season, as reported by Daily Star.

Arne Slot’s First Year in Charge: A Mixed Bag

Arne Slot, who took over Liverpool’s managerial reins in the summer of 2024, has found it difficult to replicate the success of his debut season. Just 12 months ago, the Dutchman guided Liverpool to their first Premier League title since 2020, only to see their title defence falter in the current campaign. The team’s failure to build on their previous triumph has led to growing concerns over Slot’s tactical approach and ability to sustain long-term success.

Despite this, the Reds remain in the hunt for a top-five finish, currently holding fourth place with 58 points. While a place in the 2026/27 Champions League is still within reach, the final trio of fixtures against Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Brentford will be crucial in determining their European fate. The pressure on Slot will intensify as he aims to secure a return to Europe’s premier club competition next season.

In an unexpected turn of events, Darwin Núñez, once a promising prospect at Liverpool, is reportedly heading back to the Premier League after less than a year with Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia. The Uruguayan forward, who joined Liverpool for £64 million in 2022, struggled to live up to his hefty transfer fee. His spell at Al-Hilal has been equally turbulent, with the 24-year-old failing to make a lasting impact in the Saudi Pro League.

Despite a promising start to his tenure in the Middle East, Núñez was relegated to the sidelines following the arrival of Karim Benzema in January. Al-Hilal, seeking to comply with foreign player restrictions, made the decision to cut Núñez from their squad. The restrictions limit the number of overseas players in their squad, with only eight players born before 2003 allowed to feature.

Núñez has not played since February, and reports suggest that he has reached an understanding with Al-Hilal that will allow him to leave the club when the season concludes. Although a Liverpool return seems unlikely, several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and Chelsea, are reportedly monitoring his situation closely, and the forward could become a free agent at 26.

FSG’s Ticket Price U-Turn Amid Supporter Backlash

In an unexpected move, Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), have put plans for significant ticket price increases on hold following a wave of protests from fans. This comes after the club’s initial proposal to raise ticket prices for the next three seasons faced widespread backlash from the Liverpool fanbase. Protests outside Anfield, including banners, placards, and chants against FSG, have been a clear indication of the growing discontent among supporters.

The club initially cited inflation and rising operating costs as reasons for the price hikes, but the fan outcry has led to a partial reversal. Instead of the proposed increases, Liverpool will raise general admission prices by just 3% next season and freeze prices for the following two years. This move comes after discussions between the club’s executives and supporter groups, including the influential Spirit of Shankly.

In a statement, Liverpool announced: “The club and Supporters Board will use the certainty of these seasons to seek longer-term alternative solutions across the game and explore commercial ideas with the Supporters Board in an attempt to avoid future ticket price increases and address issues around affordability and accessibility for future generations.”

Spirit of Shankly, one of the key fan groups, expressed satisfaction with the outcome, stating that they would continue to engage with the club to find long-term solutions to prevent future price hikes. The group praised the club for listening to fans and working with them to find a resolution.

Conclusion: A Season of Mixed Fortunes

Liverpool’s 2025/26 season has been one of mixed fortunes. While their Champions League hopes remain alive, the club’s internal and external challenges, from managerial struggles to player departures and fan protests, show that this is not a smooth ride for Arne Slot and his team. With key decisions still to be made, the next few weeks could prove decisive in determining the club’s trajectory. The Reds will be hoping that they can turn their fortunes around, both on and off the pitch, as they look to secure a place in Europe’s elite competition for next season.

Our View – EPL Index Analysis

As a Liverpool fan, the news surrounding Darwin Núñez’s turbulent Saudi Arabian stint is both surprising and disappointing. When he was brought to Anfield in 2022, expectations were sky-high, especially with the hefty £64 million price tag. However, his time at Liverpool was marred by inconsistency, and his move to Al-Hilal was seen as a potential fresh start. Unfortunately, his time in the Middle East has been equally underwhelming, with reports suggesting he was sidelined due to squad regulations and player restrictions.

While it may be tempting to view his potential return to the Premier League as a positive, the truth is that Núñez’s struggles raise questions about the club’s recruitment strategy and ability to bring in players who can truly make an impact. As Liverpool fans, we want to see players who are ready to step up and contribute from day one, not ones who require a lengthy period to adjust. The situation with Núñez highlights the challenge Liverpool faces in finding players who can seamlessly fit into their system and deliver consistently.

Moreover, the ticket price saga has left many fans frustrated and feeling alienated. It’s good that FSG has responded to fan protests and rolled back their plans for drastic ticket price hikes, but it remains to be seen if this move will quell the growing dissatisfaction among supporters. Fans want to feel valued, not just as customers but as an integral part of the club’s identity. The Spirit of Shankly’s efforts to hold the club accountable are commendable, and it’s crucial that Liverpool continues to engage with supporters to ensure that ticket prices remain fair and accessible for all.

In these challenging times, Liverpool fans are calling for clarity, stability, and genuine efforts from the club to address their concerns. With Arne Slot’s future under scrutiny and the team fighting for Champions League qualification, it’s clear that Liverpool needs to take a long hard look at its strategy both on and off the pitch to ensure it remains competitive in the years to come.

The tagline for Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois is “Don’t Blink”, but the host of Friday’s weigh-in oddly set his bespectacled sights beyond this fight – and on the looming presence of Moses Itauma in the heavyweight division.

“Is either of you the landlord, or are you just squatters, waiting for Moses Itauma to come and take the property?” asked Simon Jordan, referencing Anthony Joshua’s recent message to Tyson Fury, as well as the potential next opponent for Wardley or Dubois.

Jordan, familiar to TalkSport listeners but brought in by DAZN on Friday, is always articulate but can be aggravating to athletes. He certainly tried to bring some needle to this weigh-in, but neither WBO heavyweight champion Wardley nor Dubois felt much of a prick here, as they tipped the scales then faced off ahead of Saturday’s showdown in Manchester.

Dubois (251.7lb / 114.1kg) barely answered Jordan’s questions, instead speaking in brief mission statements as he tends to do. Wardley (242.2lb / 109.8kg) entertained Jordan’s queries but stayed calm, maintaining his composed demeanour from the rest of fight week.

The champion (20-0-1, 19 KOs) even encouraged the crowd’s shouts in support of Dubois (22-3, 21 KOs), and there were many of them, although there were cheers for Wardley as well.

Neither fighter is local to Manchester, with Wardley, 31, representing Ipswich and Dubois, 28, fighting out of London. Regardless, the split of Friday’s support will be as irrelevant on Saturday as the votes that were shown at the weigh-in; when Jordan put it to Dubois that the online polls leant towards a Wardley win, “Dynamite” was unfazed.

There was a whisper in his ear from a team member, though, which made this writer think of a comment by Wardley at Thursday’s press conference: “You let other people talk to you and tell you what it should be like.”

As mentioned above, Wardley has appeared calm this week, and – speaking on the BBC’s 5 Live Boxing Podcast – he told Indy Sport columnist Steve Bunce that he is very intentional with how he expends his energy. Then you have Dubois, who has twice ended interviews prematurely this week; one could argue that this is his attempt to save energy, but carrying tension into and out of those media duties is not necessarily a great sign.

Similarly, it seemed on Friday that Wardley was doing his best to enjoy the occasion, while Dubois just wanted to fast-forward to the fight. Dubois has said as much throughout the week, and that is understandable, but there is a sense that Wardley has won the little pre-fight battles.

Will those battles influence the outcome of what is expected to be a war on Saturday?

Maybe not, or maybe only to a small degree. This is still close to a 50-50 fight, but every per cent counts.

Still, what of Itauma, and the relevance – if any – of his mention by Jordan? The young phenom is a teammate of Wardley, who has been coy about the prospect of facing the 21-year-old, but there is no doubt that Itauma is edging closer to the heavyweight elite.

Actually, he might be a likelier opponent for the loser of Saturday’s clash at Co-op Live, rather than the winner.

But to focus on Itauma is to rob yourself of the full enjoyment of Wardley vs Dubois, an all-British bout for a world heavyweight title – contested between genuine knockout artists. This very specific combination of factors makes this fight truly tantalising. So, don’t look beyond it, and definitely don’t blink.

Álvaro Arbeloa appeared before the press on the eve of tomorrow’s Clásico against Barcelona, in the middle of an unprecedented dressing-room crisis at Real Madrid.

The first-team coach gave his version of the fight between Valverde and Tchouameni, who have been disciplined and fined by the club.  "I’m very proud of the club’s firmness, speed and transparency. And then of the players acknowledging their mistake, expressing their regret and apologizing. That’s enough for me," he said.

"Valverde and Tchouameni deserve for us to turn the page, to give them a chance to keep fighting for this club. I’m very proud of them. I’m not going to allow this to be used to cast doubt on their professionalism: it’s a lie that they aren’t professionals, that they have disrespected me... it’s absolutely false," he stressed.

The coach said that Tchouameni will be included in the squad for the Clásico and that he is "very happy with the work of his four captains."

Arbeloa also denied reports about problems with some players, such as Carvajal. "It’s a lie that any of them aren’t playing because of problems with me, or because of their life outside Real Madrid. I am the first person responsible for the fact that the season is probably not up to standard. But I’ve been here for four months and I’m very proud of my players."

"What I’m not going to do is throw them (the players) onto a public bonfire, because they don’t deserve it," Arbeloa stressed, while also saying that he sees "a healthy dressing room."

On Mbappé’s attitude

"Anyone who wants to take a player smiling after training out of context is twisting things."

"I can only speak up for him, for his work and the way he is treating me. When he has played, it’s because he has deserved it, and when he hasn’t, it’s because someone else has deserved it more."

The leaks

"For things that happened in the dressing room to be leaked seems like a betrayal of Real Madrid and its badge."

"I’m not accusing my players, or anyone. There are a lot of people at Real Madrid and I’m not here to point the finger at anyone. What happens with my players will stay between them and me."

Real Madrid are now moving rapidly towards bringing back Jose Mourinho, with growing belief inside the club that the Portuguese coach is the only figure capable of restoring order to a turbulent dressing room.

According to fresh reports from AS, Mourinho’s return to the Santiago Bernabéu is now viewed as a ‘matter of time’ rather than a possibility. 

According to the outlet, the decisive phase of the operation is expected to begin next week, when club president Florentino Perez is scheduled to hold direct talks with the veteran manager.

Real Madrid’s hierarchy have spent weeks analysing multiple managerial possibilities, but the board has reached a clear conclusion. 

Mourinho has emerged as the preferred candidate because of his experience, authority, and ability to immediately take control of difficult dressing rooms.

The club believes the current squad lacks leadership, unity, and competitive balance – issues that have become increasingly visible throughout the campaign. 

Internal tensions, dressing room disagreements, and repeated controversies have only strengthened the feeling that Real Madrid require a manager capable of imposing discipline quickly.

Mourinho is on board

The process towards a reunion reportedly began with Mourinho himself showing openness towards returning to Madrid. 

However, the biggest development has now come from within the club, where the board is said to fully support the idea of bringing him back.

Although no contract has officially been signed yet, both parties already understand what the other wants. 

For now, the operation is mainly being delayed by the fact that the current season has not officially concluded for either side.

Another important factor behind the growing optimism is the improved relationship between Real Madrid and influential agent Jorge Mendes. 

That connection reportedly helped facilitate discussions and reopen communication channels that had previously become strained.

Lastly, the move is also considered achievable financially, as Mourinho’s release clause is believed to stand at around €3 million, a figure Real Madrid view as reasonable given the scale of the problems they are trying to solve.

Liverpool seem to be gearing up for another busy summer.

Last term, the Anfield outfit spent the most money of all the Premier League teams with many believing that they'd easily retain the Premier League title.

That has clearly been far from the case with several new players being like with a Liverpool move every week.

Despite their lack of form, it seems like the Reds could be about to make a huge mistake with the fate of one of their most important players now looking to be sealed.

Curtis Jones looks destined to exit Anfield after Victor Froholdt interest emerges

Curtis Jones' future has been spoken about since the January transfer window.

The Englishman was linked with a move to Serie A giants Inter Milan due to his lack of playing time under Arne Slot this term.

That is, despite the 'extraordinary' midfielder being one of the Reds' most important players when he's actually been used.

And, while no concrete links have emerged regarding the future of the 25-year-old, the fact that Danish outlet Bold are saying that the Reds are 'in love' with FC Porto's Victor Froholdt tells a different story.

The 20-year-old central midfielder has been a shining light among Porto's team this term and, even though the Portuguese champions are demanding a fee worth around £73 million to prise him away, the Reds seem to be heavily interested.

Although Froholdt and Jones aren't the exact same sort of player, another midfielder already being looked at by Liverpool feels rather telling.

Victor Froholdt would be a good signing for Liverpool but not at the cost of Curtis Jones

Even though Slot may not see it, Jones has been one of his best players this term.

Much like Dominik Szoboszlai, the Englishman has never stopped running and, even though his best position is as a central midfielder, the Dutchman has also put his versatility to the test by using him as a right back on more than one occasion.

Indeed, £73 million for a relatively unproven 20-year-old is a huge risk but he would almost certainly be an excellent signing.

But, with the performances that other players such as Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch have put in this term, it feels like they'd be much better options for the Reds to replace with Froholdt rather than Jones.

The fact that Jones is homegrown also has a major part to play as, if they do end up moving Joe Gomez and Harvey Elliott on this summer, their options for homegrown players will be wearing thin.

Personnel matters In Cologne’s Südstadt district, the BVB women started the match in their familiar 4-3-3 formation. There were two changes from the 3-1 win against SSV Rhade, with Ronja Leubner and Jasmin Jabbes coming into the starting line-up in place of Nora Willeke and Paula Reimann. Frederike Kempe, who had scored the goal to make it 2-1 the previous week, led the BVB women onto the pitch wearing the captain’s armband.

The matchFrom the kick-off, the BVB women dominated the game against a deep-lying Cologne side. With Jenske Steenwijk and Ann-Sophie Vogel pushing high up the flanks, the Borussia women carried the ball deep into the opposition’s half. Free kicks and corners, all taken by Rita Schumacher, produced the first shots on goal for the Black & Yellows, who were becoming increasingly dangerous. A long-range shot from the set-piece specialist was saved by the Cologne goalkeeper in the 15th minute as she tipped it onto the post and behind for a corner.

A quarter of an hour later, Rita Schumacher curled the ball beautifully into the net to give the BVB women a 1-0 lead (30). This was preceded by her winning a high ball and then playing a one-two with Ronja Leubner. The hosts managed a few counter-attacks in the first half, which an alert BVB defence was able to nip in the bud early on. The BVB women were denied a 2-0 half-time lead after Annika Enderle was caught offside in the 43rd minute.

The second 45 minutes began with a flurry of corners from the BVB women. Although all four set-pieces in the first five minutes flew dangerously into the six-yard box, none found a Black & Yellow player to finish them off. A headed goal was only a matter of time and Ronja Leubner duly converted the tenth corner of the match with a header into the right-hand corner to give her side a deserved 2-0 lead (54).

Consistent counter-pressing and focused build-up play through the two centre-backs, Frederike Kempe and Yasu Wöhrn, secured the BVB women’s comfortable two-goal lead. Rita Schumacher’s set-pieces also proved promising in the 73rd minute as a free-kick from the edge of the box found the onrushing Frederike Kempe, who was left unmarked to direct a composed header into the net to make it 3-0 (73). The BVB women remained the more attacking side in the final quarter of an hour, creating further chances for a fourth goal through Ann-Sophie Vogel (who hit the crossbar) and Annika Enderle. They were ultimately delighted with a commanding 3-0 away win at the well-attended Jean-Löring-Sportpark.

This result sees the BVB women move to the top of the Regionalliga West table on 57 points for the time being, and they will be keeping an eye on 1. FC Köln’s U21s’ match on Sunday. The U21s have the chance to reclaim top spot in the local derby against Vorwärts Spoho Köln.

OutlookFor their penultimate home game of the season, the BVB Women’s team will host FSV Gütersloh at the Rote Erde Stadium on Sunday (17 May, 15:00 CEST). Tickets for the match against the team currently tenth in the table are available from the BVB online ticket shop (standing: €3, seated: €5). The match will also be broadcast live and free of charge on Pluto TV.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch wanted to call a timeout with five minutes to play Friday and the Wolves trailing Game 3 against San Atnonio by two.

Finch felt official Tony Brothers waited three ticks too long to grant the request and, per his account, told Brothers “I want my three seconds back.”

“Because he clearly heard me. He looked my way, ignored me, went on with the play, and then gave me it. It almost cost us the turnover,” Finch said. “And then he lost it.”

“Lost it” is a subjective term, but Finch then claims he went to ask Brothers where the ball would be inbounded from after the timeout, at which point Brothers turned and took a couple steps toward Finch before shouting in his direction.

“So, completely unprofessional behavior by him,” Finch said.

It is rare for an NBA official to get into a shouting match with a player or coach. But Finch’s account is only one side of the story. And the Timberwolves’ coach is possibly the biggest complainer — both during the game and after — re: officials.

Nearly every time the refs make a trip down the floor, Finch has something to say in their ear. That likely can be grating. Still, does that give the refs justification to bark back? Or should they merely “take” the verbal scolding from players and coaches with little to no reaction?

Certainly, refs never want to become a major storyline in the game. The 61-year-old Brothers crossed that threshold Friday. Whether any discip

“It’s competition at the highest level. We want to win, Finchy want to win. Tony Brothers is Tony Brothers,” Wolves guard Anthony Edwards said. “We all love him, so it’s all good.

LIV Golf has lost its Saudi funding, and as it seeks new investment, players are eyeing a PGA Tour return.

PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp confirmed that he’s been taking calls from LIV golfers who are exploring the potential of coming back to the tour. Bryson DeChambeau was seen speaking with tour officials at The Masters, and Joaquin Niemann expressed his desire to return.

PGA Tour players have been generally open to LIV players returning. Cameron Young said Brooks Koepka’s return has been great for the tour, but he doesn’t think that players like DeChambeau or Jon Rahm should be offered the same deal as the five-time major winner.

Rory McIlroy has been incredibly outspoken about LIV in the past. He acted as the face and voice of the tour when LIV was first formed, and while he’s walked back some of his comments since, the career grand slam winner remains opposed to the breakaway league.

Speaking for the first time since LIV’s loss of funding was reported, McIlroy said whether he would welcome back players to the PGA Tour.

Rory McIlroy says LIV players should be allowed back on the PGA Tour

McIlroy has been far more diplomatic on his messaging about LIV Golf in recent years, especially as it became less of a threat to the PGA Tour’s future. This trend continued at the Truist Championship, where McIlroy was asked to share his thoughts on LIV’s potential collapse.

He said, “I think everyone sort of knows my views on LIV and where it stands in the game of golf. I don’t think I need to rehash any of that. It’s never been for me and, look, it doesn’t mean that LIV is going to go away.

“They’re going to go and try and find alternative investment, whatever that may look like. But when one of the wealthiest sovereign wealth funds in the world thinks that you’re too expensive for them, that sort of says something.”

When asked if he’d welcome players back to the PGA Tour, his response may surprise some: “It’s a question if they do want to come back. Obviously, we have seen the quotes over the last few days. And, you know, it seems like some of the guys, if – again, it all depends on what happens to LIV.

“But if it is a scenario where they have the option to come back and play on the traditional tours, I think Brian Rolapp has said anything that makes this Tour stronger, anything that makes the DP World Tour stronger, I think everyone should be open to that. That’s just good business practice.

“But again I think there’s going to be a lot of sort of bridges to cross to get there, just because, obviously, the guys over there are under contract and if they are able to keep it going and get a schedule together next year, it seems like those guys are still going to play the majority of their golf on LIV, in whatever form it takes.”

Several LIV players, including DeChambeau, have expressed some hesitancy to return to the PGA Tour if LIV folds. McIlroy shared his opinion on that: “Which is totally fine. Like, again, I think I’ve said at the start, I was probably too judgmental with the guys that went because I was seeing it from my point of view and maybe not seeing it from other points of view.

“But again, I’m not going to judge anyone for not wanting to play on the PGA Tour. Does that mean that they go play DP World Tour maybe; if that’s a pathway, that would make the DP World Tour stronger, and I would be delighted with that, because that’s my home TOUR, at the end of the day.

“But this is, if you want to be the most competitive golfer you can be, this is the place to be. And if you don’t want to play here, I think that says something about you.”

A sly dig at DeChambeau, perhaps, who has threatened the tour with stepping away from competitive golf and doing YouTube full-time. It seems that despite his back-to-back Masters wins, the rivalry is still strong between McIlroy and DeChambeau.

Happy weekend, sports fans! It’s another weekend without a Tottenham Hotspur match (they play Monday afternoon/evening), and weirdly none of today’s matches directly impact Spurs in their bid to avoid relegation. The highlight of today is probably the early match — Liverpool vs. Chelsea, even though Chelsea are currently on a six match losing streak during which they’ve only scored one goal. The longer that streak goes, the more I’m convinced we’re going to lose at Stamford Bridge next weekend, because that’s exactly how this season seems to have gone.

Anyway, all the important non-Spurs matches — West Ham vs. Arsenal, Forest vs. Newcatle — are tomorrow. This is your open thread. Huzzah!

Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeneß is a master of blunt statements. And his assessment of the German men’s national team ahead of this summer’s World Cup is unsparing.

In Hoeneß’ view, the Germans cannot be considered among the tournament favorites.

“I can’t say that at all,” Hoeneß declared in recent comments captured by @iMiaSanMia. “Because the German team has never played with the same eleven in two consecutive matches.

“And that’s something I hold against [head coach] Julian [Nagelsmann] — I’ve already told him personally. If you go to a World Cup and don’t have a truly world-class team, which in my opinion we don’t have at the moment, then — as Vincent has demonstrated — you can only be successful through the team, through the team structure.

“But currently, I don’t see a clear lineup at either end of the pitch. Who is our striker? Who plays in goal? Who is the right-back, who the left? And if things continue like this, we’ll end up fielding a team for our first World Cup match that has never played together before. And that doesn’t work.”

It has been a strange road for Germany since the home-turf EUROs of 2024. Of course, things can always come together fast, but it is just about the cusp of the tournament now…and where Germany stands is unclear. Can Nagelsmann figure it out in time? It appears that in Hoeneß’ opinion, the national team coach needs to start taking some outside advice.

Gasperini has decided to manage the strength of his starting players to avoid problems.

In the final push of this season, which could secure qualification for the Champions League for the first time in eight years, the Giallorossi coach has adopted a different resource management technique this week, focusing especially on those who have spent the most energy this season.

As reported by Il Messaggero, starting with Malen – who was partially rested two days ago – all the starting players completed a personalized gym session yesterday.

It’s not just Donny Malen, who was clearly fatigued after the match against Fiorentina.

Several players didn’t complete the entire training session under the coach’s orders, and the reason lies in their playing time.

Six outfield players have logged more than 2,300 minutes in Serie A: Wesley (2,300), Koné (2,363), Celik (2,469), Ndicka (2,554), Mancini (2,797), and Cristante (2,856).

All players are expected to return to training today for a late morning training session, before the coach’s press conference and the subsequent departure for Parma.

Therefore, Gasperini wants to leave no stone unturned, and he wants his key players to be in top form for the final three matches of the season.

Meanwhile, El Shaarawy and Gollini were sidelined yesterday. The former could be fit for the match at the Tardini at the last minute.

A former member of Xavi Hernandez’s coaching staff at Barcelona has delivered a strong defence of the club legend while opening up about what he believes was a lack of support from within the organisation during his time in charge.

David Prats, who worked closely with Xavi before recently moving to Qatar to coach Al Shamal, reflected on the intense atmosphere surrounding Barcelona and the criticism directed at the former manager and his staff.

Speaking about his relationship with Xavi in an interview with SPORT, Prats made it clear that the former midfielder remains the biggest football influence in his career.

“Xavi is head and shoulders above everyone else, both personally and professionally. To me, he’s a top-class manager.”

The ground reality

The conversation then shifted towards the difficult reality of working at Barcelona during one of the club’s most unstable periods in recent years.

Prats admitted the pressure inside the club was enormous, even for staff members working behind the scenes.

“The pressure is immense. You’re at one of the biggest clubs in Europe and you have to win and play well all the time. You feel it even as an analyst.”

Despite acknowledging the sporting demands that come with Barcelona, Prats suggested the most painful aspect of the experience was the criticism aimed at Xavi and the coaching staff – criticism he believes was unfair and left unanswered internally.

“What hurt me most was the unfounded criticism directed at us, especially at Xavi. 

“He didn’t deserve it; they were unfair to him. And what’s more, we weren’t protected from within.”

Defending Xavi

Prats also defended the work achieved under Xavi during a period where Barcelona were facing both sporting and financial instability.

“For me, it was very unfair. We arrived at a very difficult time for the club. 

“We managed to get the team into the Champions League, then we won La Liga and the Super Cup. 

“I think that’s a huge achievement. But from within, it wasn’t appreciated as it should have been.”

The Al Shamal manager then explained that his previous experience working alongside Xavi at Al Sadd played a major role in his managerial journey.

“It all started because I’d already been here with Xavi as an assistant coach with Al Sadd’s first team. 

“We had a great time, felt very much at home, and I had fond memories of the league and the country.”

Lastly, he also disclosed that Xavi himself encouraged members of his staff to seek new opportunities after leaving Barcelona.

“I consider him a very good friend and he told us: ‘If you have the chance to do something else and it motivates you, go for it.’ He needed a break.”

How to Watch Liverpool vs Chelsea: TV Channel and Live Stream Details

As Liverpool and Chelsea prepare to face off in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash, all eyes are on the battle for European football qualification. With just a few matches left in the season, both teams have plenty to play for, but how can fans watch this pivotal encounter?

Liverpool’s European Push Continues

Liverpool, under the guidance of Arne Slot, have enjoyed a solid run of form recently, winning three of their last four Premier League fixtures. Although not at their peak, the Reds remain in the hunt for a top-five finish. Currently in fourth place with three matches to go, they are still at risk of slipping outside the Champions League spots due to the tight competition in the table.

A victory over Chelsea would temporarily give Liverpool a three-point cushion over fifth-place Aston Villa and a five-point lead over sixth-place Bournemouth. With qualification for Europe still uncertain, this match at Anfield could be a crucial step towards securing a spot in next season’s competitions.

Chelsea’s Struggles: Can They Find Form?

Chelsea, on the other hand, are in the midst of a challenging period. The Blues have lost their last six Premier League matches, failing to score in five of them. Their only goal in the last month came from Joao Pedro’s stunning bicycle kick against Nottingham Forest. With just one game left before the FA Cup final against Manchester City, Chelsea are under pressure to get back on track.

This trip to Anfield could be their last chance to revive their season before the Wembley showdown. Currently languishing in the middle of the table, their hopes of qualifying for European football are dwindling. For manager Calum McFarlane, the focus will be on ending this tough run of form and getting a much-needed morale boost before their Wembley date.

With both clubs vying for different reasons—Liverpool pushing for a European spot and Chelsea aiming to salvage their season—this fixture carries significant weight for both teams. For the Reds, it’s a chance to build momentum ahead of the final stretch, while Chelsea’s need for a positive result could shape the remainder of their campaign.

Whether you’re a Liverpool supporter hoping for a win or a Chelsea fan searching for a much-needed revival, this match is not to be missed.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – When looking for an even-keeled positive take coming out of the Anaheim Ducks’ abysmal 6-2 loss in Game 3 to the Vegas Golden Knights, look no further than Lukáš Dostál following his stellar near-shutout performance in Anaheim’s 3-1 win in Game 2.

“It’s still one win in the series,” Dostál said. “I always say it doesn’t matter how you win or what the score is.”

At the end of Friday night at Honda Center, it’s still just a 2-1 series lead for Vegas.

There’s no extra points for scoring at all three strengths–even strength, shorthanded and on power play–in the first period or for Mitch Marner netting a hat trick to claim the playoff lead in goals and points.

There’s also no extra demerits for Dostál giving up a goal on the first shot of the game for the third time in nine playoff games–13th time all season–before getting pulled after one period or the Ducks power play remaining power less–0-for-11 in the series after converting at 50% in the first round.However, if you’re looking for more fire and brimstone commiserate with just how bad Anaheim looked at points in Game 3, Ducks coach Joel Quenneville had that for you, when asked if his team came in too comfortable after controlling the play in the first two games.

“I think that there's a lesson to take out of today's game, and it's only gonna get harder every single game,” Quenneville said. “Not gonna get any easier. So let's get ready to go to war.”

Anaheim will get its chance to return fire in Game 4 on Sunday at Honda Center, but first, there is the autopsy of Friday.

From puck drop, the Ducks were not good in Game 3, and not on the back of one particular player or one particular breakdown. Every position group, every line and every man-strength unit had something come apart and go against them.

“I think they just outbattled us,” Jackson LaCombe said. “They won more puck battles than we did. They played physical. We’ve got to be better next game.”

Just 48 hours after that 21-save performance and 59:54 of shutout hockey by Dostál, social media reaction was all over the Anaheim netminder with the aforementioned early goals and pull, but this was not a one-man collapse.

When asked if pulling Dostál was for his own showing or for the team’s play in front of him, Quenneville said, “both.”

Just one minute in, Vegas gained the zone, and with Jack Eichel in the corner and a wide-open middle to survey, Eichel hit the trailing Shea Theodore at the far point, who snuck behind the unaware Cutter Gauthier. Theodore then ripped a shot around the inadvertent screen of Ryan Poehling, who became an unfortunate obstruction after tying up his man in front.

Vegas again negated the Anaheim power play 11 minutes later, and Brayden McNabb scored shorthanded on a slightly flubbed half-armed shot that crossed up Dostál, 2-0. For the second straight series, the Knights' penalty kill is outscoring its opponents' power play. An odd one, but also the one Dostal wants back. 

In the dying seconds of the first period, Vegas’ power play capitalized on a broken play. Marner got a shot off slicing through the Ducks’ penalty kill box, but that shot took an odd deflection and bobbled off of Dostál. No one could control the bouncer, until it found Marner’s stick, who tucked it around the Anaheim netminder, 3-0.

“Getting that third one at the end of the period certainly was a killer,” Quenneville said, “and that was basically the game.”

A cross-zone breakdown for a screened goal one minute in. A change-up shorthanded goal midway through. A broken power play knuckler in the final seconds.

All situational killing goals in their own right, and it ended Dostál’s night with three allowed goals on eight shots.

“It's tough to win a game when you put yourself in spots like that,” Alex Killorn said. “I thought they played well, but I don't think we brought our best. Maybe a little bit comfortable after last game. They’re a great team, we just have to have a little bit of a better start and effort throughout the game.”

After thoroughly dominating the first six periods of the series–only good for a 1-1 tie at that point, Vegas truly “entered the series,” according to coach John Tortorella, and there is plenty of credit to be given to the Knights’ team game.

Vegas blocked 20 shots, whereas Anaheim only got in front of six. The Knights’ penalty kill continued at an elite clip with a two-for-two night to add to a 25-for-26 run in the playoffs.

However, as Killorn noted, Vegas’ best game wasn’t done without the Ducks’ help, and as if to prove it wasn’t only the goaltender’s fault, the breakdowns did not stop for Anaheim.

A slow-developing Ducks line change led to a four-on-three break, where Marner took advantage of the space to maneuver around a left-out-to-dry Ville Husso–who entered in the second period and allowed two second-period goals among the 19 total shots faced.

Marner pulled in his first career playoff hat trick nearly nine minutes later, as Marner evaded Drew Helleson’s eye behind the net. Helleson left Marner to cover the net front, and Marner again used time and space to sneak out and squeeze a shortside shot between Husso and the post, 5-0.

One part “how is the playoffs new leading goal scorer left that wide open when he already has two goals tonight,” and another part “that’s one Husso wants back.”

Point being, no Duck was immune from a blunder as Vegas steamrolled in Game 3.

To zoom back out, it’s still just one game, and Anaheim did claw back a bit in the third period. Carter Hart let up his own softy, as Beckett Sennecke dove at a loose puck that snuck through the Vegas goalie’s arm, and Chris Kreider finished off a trademark passing sequence from Troy Terry.

“Everything adds up, so play the whole 60 and continue to play physical,” Kreider said. “Make that investment in a seven-game series. Each game's kind of a standalone thing, so we've just got to be better going into the next game.”

The Ducks have been better than they were in Game 3. They were better just two days ago.

Anaheim has been a comeback team all season, and it must respond in Game 4. Otherwise, Vegas just made a hard turn in this series and with a heavy helping hand.

When will this cursed season end? Well, three games still, apparently. Somehow Liverpool are more or less a shoe-in for Champions League qualification, and a win today would all but guarantee that. And somehow Chelsea (Chelsea Chelsea) have been even more cursed than Liverpool this season. However, as Spurs proved, there’s no curse that Dr. Liverpool can’t cure. So. I’m tired, Robbie.

Both Lazio and Inter are likely to make squad rotations in their Serie A match today, as they prepare for next week’s Coppa Italia Final, but the Nerazzurri captain, Lautaro Martinez, is still expected to start.

It kicks off at 18:00 CET (17:00 BST) at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

It’s Inter’s first game as defending Serie A champions, as the Nerazzurri secured the Scudetto with three games to spare last week.

Lazio are four points below a Conference League placement, but their priority remains next Wednesday’s Coppa Italia Final, also against the Nerazzurri.

Francesco Pio Esposito and Hakan Calhanoglu are unavailable for Inter, but while the Italian striker is expected to recover in time for next week’s Final, Calhanoglu is not likely to make it.

Lazio get to this match without the injured Samuel Gigot, Ivan Provedel, Alessio Furlanetto, Danilo Cataldi, Elseid Hysaj and their captain Mattia Zaccagni.

As reported by Gazzetta, Italy international Davide Frattesi is set to make a rare start for Inter in the middle of the park, so Nicolò Barella will rest.

Marcus Thuram is also expected to start on the bench, making room for Ange-Yoan Bonny and Lautaro Martinez up front.

Real Madrid’s search for a new manager is in full swing, and the club has now identified their top managerial targets.

Going by the rumours in recent days, Jose Mourinho appears to be the top-placed candidate to arrive at the Valdebebas as the new manager. However, there are several other options being considered.

As relayed by Abraham Romero in a recent report, however, there are only two candidates in the race as matters stand, and the club have heavily filtered down their list. 

Down from five

The Spanish journalist relays that Real Madrid began with a five-man shortlist that included Mauricio Pochettino, Jurgen Klopp, Jose Mourinho, Lionel Scaloni, and Didier Deschamps.

From that, only two names remain as strong contenders – Mourinho and Deschamps.

The club believe that only one type of manager succeeds at the club – the Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane, and Jose Mourinho type of coaches who are strict and excellent man-managers.

In that sense, Mourinho is the top candidate to take over the position and is seen as the best option internally.

Concurrently, they have a Plan B, which is Didier Deschamps, a highly experienced manager who has successfully managed a star-studded French national team.

Scaloni, Nageslmann, Mauricio Pochettino, Massimiliano Allegri, and other initially linked names have all been discarded as matters stand.

With the end of the season nearing, Real Madrid do not have long to finalise a managerial appointment.

If they are to negotiate with Deschamps, they will likely have to wait until the end of the FIFA World Cup, and will thus activate that option only if the Mourinho deal falls apart.

As for Mourinho, the club is yet to negotiate with Benfica, but the Portuguese manager is expected to be available if a €3 million fee is paid.

Chelsea’s Injury Woes Ahead of Liverpool Clash

Chelsea face another daunting Premier League challenge as they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool, with managerless Blues enduring a dreadful losing streak. The team will be without several key players, making this match even more crucial for interim manager Calum McFarlane.

Missing Players for Chelsea

Chelsea’s squad for Saturday’s 12:30pm kick-off is badly depleted. Robert Sanchez and Jesse Derry will both miss out, and wingers Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho are also expected to be sidelined. Sanchez, who was forced off in the second half of Chelsea’s 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest, is still undergoing concussion protocols after a head injury. His replacement, Filip Jorgensen, is now the likely starter in goal for Chelsea.

“Rob [Sanchez] is also not going to be available after the injury that he sustained in the Nottingham Forest game,” McFarlane confirmed. As for Neto and Garnacho, McFarlane expressed doubts about their availability: “Neto and Garnacho are carrying knocks, so it’s looking unlikely that they are going to be available [against Liverpool].” With academy star Derry unavailable for the remainder of the season after a head clash against Forest, McFarlane is left with few options.

Tactical Adjustments for Chelsea

With so many players absent, Chelsea may need to adapt their tactics significantly. There are no fit and available wingers in the squad, forcing McFarlane to consider Joao Pedro in an unfamiliar left-sided role. Enzo Fernandez will likely operate in an attacking midfield position, while Cole Palmer should line up on the right. This could leave Liam Delap to lead the line as Chelsea look for a much-needed win.

Photo IMAGO

The absence of wingers, compounded by Estevao and Jamie Gittens’ injuries, means that McFarlane might not have many alternatives. It’s likely that Joao Pedro will be deployed as an auxiliary winger once again.

Reece James’ Potential Return

In brighter news for Chelsea, captain Reece James could make his first start in over six weeks after recovering from a hamstring injury. He returned to the bench in the Forest loss, and McFarlane will have to decide whether to risk him in the starting XI. If selected, James could replace Malo Gusto at right-back, but there are concerns about rushing him back into action too soon.

Defensive and Midfield Setup

Defensively, McFarlane will have to rely on Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill to hold the fort against Liverpool’s potent attack. Colwill, who made a return from an ACL injury, could be key to adding pace to Chelsea’s backline. In midfield, Romeo Lavia may once again partner Moises Caicedo, with the duo expected to provide the defensive shield necessary to stifle Liverpool’s creative players.

With injuries and absences mounting, Chelsea’s task at Anfield is becoming more difficult by the day. However, the Blues will be hoping for a shock result as they face Jurgen Klopp’s men, who are still fighting for Champions League qualification.

Predicted Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Jorgensen; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Lavia, Caicedo; Palmer, Fernandez, Joao Pedro; Delap.

Doubts: Neto, GarnachoInjured: Sanchez, Estevao, Gittens, Derry

Aslamjon Ortikov has been an absolute wrecking ball since arriving in the world’s largest martial arts organization. The undefeated striking sensation from Uzbekistan has carved a remarkable path through the promotion’s flyweight Muay Thai ranks, amassing a flawless 9-0 promotional record.

The 22-year-old powerhouse is now set for another massive test. He will face explosive Colombian star Jordan Estupinan in a highly anticipated flyweight Muay Thai showdown at ONE Fight Night 43: Tang vs. Gasanov on Prime Video, broadcasting live in U.S. primetime on Friday, May 15, from Bangkok’s legendary Lumpinee Stadium.

This high-stakes matchup represents another opportunity for Ortikov to showcase the destructive skills that have made him one of the most exciting stars on the global roster.

From his explosive debut to his recent string of masterclasses, here is a look back at all nine victories that have shaped Ortikov’s incredible ONE Championship journey so far.

#1 A Memorable Debut

The pressure was immense for Ortikov’s promotional debut at ONE Friday Fights 25 in July 2023. Undefeated at 15-0, the young Uzbek striker faced Kaotaem Fairtex in a 128-pound catchweight Muay Thai showdown.

Ortikov lived up to every bit of the hype. He dropped his opponent with a devastating left hand during a wild first-round exchange and never looked back, as his unorthodox shot selection and powerful punching were on full display all fight long.

The unanimous decision victory pushed his career record to 15-0 and announced to the world that a new force had arrived in ONE Championship.

#2 Finding His Finishing Touch

After his successful debut on the global stage, Ortikov was hungry for a stoppage victory at ONE Friday Fights 37 in October 2023, and he found exactly what he was looking for against Pethuahin Jitmuangnon.

The 20-year-old dominated from the opening bell, dropping the Thai with a spinning back fist at the end of the first round. In the third frame, he put his opponent on the ropes before landing a devastating left head kick that ended the fight at just 50 seconds into the round.

The victory extended his perfect record to 16-0 and gave him his first finish in ONE.

#3 Lightning-Fast Destruction

Ortikov’s third promotional appearance at ONE Friday Fights 43 was his most explosive yet. Facing Chatanan Sor Jor Joyprajin, the Uzbek brawler wasted no time making his mark.

From the opening bell, Ortikov stalked his opponent with predatory intent, and consistently connected with cleaner, more powerful strikes as his confidence grew throughout the early exchanges.

With laser-like precision, he brought Chatanan’s two-fight winning streak to an abrupt end with a perfectly timed left high kick at just 2:33 of the first round, moving to 3-0 in ONE.

#4 The Tactical Masterclass

At ONE Friday Fights 54 in March 2024, Ortikov proved his tactical maturity against Watcharaphon Singha Mawynn in their 129-pound catchweight Muay Thai battle.

The pair took time to feel each other out early, but Ortikov’s elite fight IQ began to shine as he recognized patterns and controlled the action, showcasing his ever-evolving skill set with clever counter-strikes and pivots that allowed him to cruise to victory.

In addition to keeping his pristine professional record intact and defeating one of Thailand’s top talents, the unanimous decision win demonstrated his ability to adapt and overcome different styles.

#5 Veteran Slayer

Ortikov next took on veteran Yodthongthai Sor Sommai at ONE Friday Fights 78 and showed he could handle seasoned opposition with brutal effectiveness.

The unbeaten star held the center of the ring from the opening bell, landing thudding low kicks and growing bolder with each connection. He dropped Yodthongthai with a counter left hook at the end of the second round before securing the knockout via another fatal left hook at 2:15 of the third round.

The finish moved him to 5-0 in ONE and further cemented him as one of the flyweight Muay Thai division’s most terrifying finishers.

#6 The Perfect Performance

Against Pompet PK Saenchai at ONE Friday Fights 88 in November 2024, Ortikov delivered what many consider his most complete performance to date. Indeed, the Uzbek phenom brought his signature pressure to the 130-pound catchweight Muay Thai contest.

He kicked Pompet’s legs and threw a multitude of punches and elbows before dropping him with a stern right hand in the opening round. A frantic brawl ensued in the second frame, but Ortikov’s tactical brilliance shone through as he found homes for his overhand right with surgical precision.

Ultimately, Ortikov walked away with a unanimous decision win, three rounds of valuable experience against top-flight opposition, and his sixth straight victory at ONE Friday Fights.

#7 The All-Action Thriller

In his seventh promotional outing at ONE Friday Fights 107, Ortikov delivered arguably his most dominant performance yet against fellow young phenom Dedduanglek Torfunfarm. The striking clinic elevated his status to that of a bona fide star.

Ortikov threw hand grenades at the Road to ONE: Thailand winner from the opening bell. His overhand rights and straight lefts were on point all night, backed up by punishing knees and elbows in the clinch.

The 22-year-old even had time for some showboating and axe kicks before wrapping up another pristine display. The flawless unanimous decision victory officially extended his promotional winning streak to seven.

#8 A True Test Of Grit

Stepping up to face heavy-hitting veteran Petsukumvit Tomthungyai at ONE Friday Fights 114 in June 2025, Ortikov proved he possessed the iron chin and sheer grit required to swim in the deepest waters of the flyweight division.

The Uzbek phenom absorbed the Thai’s signature heavy kicks and relentless forward pressure, answering back with his own blistering boxing combinations. By seamlessly blending boxing techniques with traditional Muay Thai fundamentals, Ortikov consistently found the target and dictated the pace.

His ability to outwork a battle-tested veteran earned him a hard-fought victory, moving his promotional record to a spectacular 8-0.

#9 Conquering A Stadium Champion

In what was undeniably one of the most significant victories of his career, Ortikov squared off against two-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion Kongthoranee Sor Sommai at ONE Fight Night 36 in October of last year.

Facing a slick, highly experienced veteran, the undefeated Uzbek relied on his relentless forward motion to suffocate Kongthoranee’s kicking game. He completely overwhelmed the Thai star with heavy pressure, cutting off the ring and unloading furious combinations to the head and body.

Ortikov’s tactical brilliance and explosive power were simply too much for the stadium champion to handle. The massive win secured his ninth consecutive victory in ONE, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is ready for the absolute elite of the division.

Arsenal’s hopes of winning a first Premier League title in 22 years are now in their hands after Manchester City dropped points in an extraordinary collapse at Everton.

Mikel Arteta’s side are five points clear of City, who have a game in hand, and it means the Gunners will lift the Premier League if they win their final three games against West Ham, Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Pep Guardiola insisted City will not give up the fight and they will play before Arsenal’s next game. Arteta’s team are away to Premier League strugglers West Ham, who will be fighting for their lives on Sunday evening.

But the balance of the title race has firmly swung in Arsenal’s direction, even after Jeremy Doku’s late equaliser at the Hill Dickinson Stadium rescued a point for City when the damage looked to have been done.

And it could be a historic season for the Gunners after they progressed past Atletico Madrid to reach their first Champions League final in 20 years, and they will face PSG in Budapest on Saturday 30 May.

Arsenal

Played: 35 | Points: 76 | GD: 41

Remaining fixtures:

• Sunday 10 May: West Ham (a)
• Monday 18 May: Burnley (h)
• Sunday 24 May: Crystal Palace (a)
• Saturday 30 May: PSG (Champions League final)

Man City

Played: 34 | Points: 71 | GD: 37

Remaining fixtures:

• Saturday 9 May: Brentford (h)
• Wednesday 13 May: Crystal Palace (h)
• Saturday 16 May: Chelsea (FA Cup final)
• Tuesday 19 May: Bournemouth (a)
• Sunday 24 May: Aston Villa (h)

When could Arsenal win the Premier League?

It’s not done yet, but it’s advantage Arsenal in the title race. If Arsenal beat West Ham on Sunday and Manchester City fail to beat either Brentford or Crystal Palace at home in their next two games, it would mean the Gunners would be able to lift the title at the Emirates with a victory over relegated Burnley in their final home game of the season. If City lose to Brentford, and Arsenal beat West Ham, it could be over by next Wednesday if Guardiola’s side then fail to beat Palace, leaving Arsenal as champions before their final home game.

How can Man City take it down to the wire?

By winning their next three games, Manchester City would be able to take the title race to the final day of the season, where Arsenal are away at Crystal Palace and Guardiola’s side host Aston Villa. Arsenal dropping points would also mean City have the title in their hands again. Sunday’s game at West Ham looks Arsenal’s trickiest game by far, as the Hammers are battling for survival. After that, the Gunners will play relegated Burnley and finish their season at a Palace team who could be preparing for a European final a few days later.

Chelsea need a player like Manchester United star Casemiro according to former Blues player and manager Ruud Gullit.

Having had a quiet January, the Blues now face a critical summer with a new head coach needing to be appointed, and reinforcements to the squad required.

Chelsea are thought to be in the market for a centre back, whilst they are believed to want to add another midfielder and attacker.

Chelsea told they need a player like Casemiro

The Blues have been heavily criticised for their youth focused transfer policy, but co-owner Behdad Eghbali has said the model will be tweaked.

It’s also been reported that Chelsea are prepared to target players with proven Premier League experience, and they’ve been linked with Morgan Rogers and Anthony Gordon.

The squad is suffering with a lack of quality, leadership and know how, and Gullit believes Chelsea need a player like Casemiro.

“It looks like they get a bunch of the best young players, and the coach who comes in has to deal with what’s there, with no input on who arrives.

“They need a Casemiro. ‘I need players with experience in midfield’ — and if you don’t have them, it’s going to be a problem,” he said as quoted on X.com.

Between reaching the Champions League final and having a match point for the French league title, PSG today unveiled its new home kit for the 2026/27 season. 

In collaboration with Nike, a royal blue shirt with a broad red-and-white central stripe was designed, intended as a “tribute to the club’s fans,” as the club wrote in a statement: “With this reinterpretation of the iconic royal blue, combined with a wide red central stripe framed by fine white lines, Paris Saint-Germain powerfully reinforces its visual identity. The shirt once again puts an iconic aesthetic center stage, one that is deeply rooted in the club’s culture and especially cherished by its fans.”

According to PSG, the shirt was designed as a love letter to Paris and its fans and symbolizes the vibrant connection between the pitch and the stands.

"It was good, it felt right, it felt like it was meant to be."

Sonny Styles had just walked into the Washington Commanders' locker room at the team's Ashburn facility and had seen his jersey, his helmet. He was really in the NFL, and it felt so good for him. "So, I am excited," he told the media, sharing about that first time seeing his very own Washington Commanders uniform.

Seeing the uniform had led to excitement. Interestingly enough, Styles then said, when he walked onto the practice field for the first time, he had also had a feeling. "Just grateful, grateful to be here. I know there is a lot of work put in, to get here. But it is just the beginning. So I am just excited to keep putting work in and keep getting better."

Styles was asked what is his message to the fan base, the young rookie calmly, not raising his voice at all, replied, "I'm going to give everything I've got to this team. When I was at Ohio State, I gave everything I had to Ohio State University. I took pride in that. I'm going to take pride in being a Commander and giving everything to this team and do whatever I can by any means necessary to help the team win."

It's refreshing to see a young person who is not naive and thinks that because he has arrived, the team will win. His father, Lorenzo, played linebacker at Ohio State, was drafted in the third round, and played six seasons in the NFL. Listening to Sonny talk, it sounds like Lorenzo taught his son well about hard work, and that nobody owes you anything in this life, other than an opportunity to prove yourself through hard work.

Sonny is grateful to be here; realizing his father, his coaches have all contributed to his opportunity to prove he could get here to the NFL. Sounds like he understands now it is up to him, to make what he can out of his opportunity to make it in the NFL.

Celtic's on-loan Borussia Monchengladbach forward Tomas Cvancara says his "season is over".

The Czech Republic international, 25, has not featured since the 11 April Scottish Premiership win over St Mirren. He scored twice in 13 appearances for Martin O'Neill's side after joining in January.

He said on Instagram: "This season is over for me. Next week I'll undergo surgery after tearing my adductor.

"Honestly, this is not how I imagined my season at Celtic coming to an end, and not the way I wanted it to finish. But despite everything, I'm truly grateful that I had the chance to be part of this club, this team and these moments.

"I know there weren't as many individual moments as I wanted, but whenever I stepped on the pitch, I always tried to help the team and give everything for the badge.

"And to all the fans.. THANK YOU".

Dusan Vlahovic is set to return to the Juventus starting XI for the first time in over five months as the Bianconeri seek a win against a Lecce side that is fighting for survival.

It kicks off at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Via Del Mare in Lecce.

The home side have a four-point advantage over the relegation zone, so a win would almost certainly allow them to secure survival, while Juventus sit fourth in the standings, but their lead over fifth-placed Roma has been reduced to just one point following back-to-back draws against Milan and Hellas Verona.

The Bianconeri have travelled to Lecce without the injured Arkadiusz Milik and Juan Cabal.

Serbia international Vlahovic is expected to start his first game since November 29, as reported by Sky Sport and Gazzetta.

Kenan Yildiz and Francisco Conceiçao will complete the Old Lady’s attack.

Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar, Riccardo Sottil and Sadik Fofana are unavailable for Lecce, where Walid Cheddira is the favourite over Nikola Stulic for a starting spot as a lone striker.

Lecce vs. Juventus – where to watch on TV

The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 2, DAZN and HBO Max in the UK and Ireland and on Paramount+ in the USA. Football Italia will provide live updates via a liveblog.

Lecce vs. Juventus – probable line-ups

Lecce (4-2-3-1): Falcone; Danilo Veiga, Siebert, Tiago Gabriel, Gallo; Ngom, Ramadani; Pierotti, Coulibaly, Banda; Cheddira.

Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Conceição, Yildiz; Vlahovic.

A thorough search, with a list of five or six names that, in the hopes of Gian Piero Gasperini in particular, will lead to a definitive choice as soon as possible.

Time is running out, and Roma hasn’t yet fully identified the right candidate to replace Ricky Massara as sporting director.

Many professionals have been contacted, some like Manna and D’Amico identified as priority candidates, but there’s a new name on the horizon that could materialize if the main targets fall through.

As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Cristiano Giaretta is among the five or six names the Friedkins are considering.

The former Udinese and Ascoli sporting director has chosen to move abroad in recent years and start over at Pafos, a club that has surprised European football by achieving excellent results and even playing in the Champions League.

In recent hours, Medhi Benatia has also been the subject of discussion, with speculation surrounding a sensational sporting director swap with Massara heading to Marseille and the Moroccan, conversely, heading to the capital.

Roma are looking for strikers to raise their attacking game.

For Gasperini, bringing in new players capable of adding quality, pace, and goalscoring skills was and remains a priority.

The Giallorossi will say goodbye to Ferguson, Zaragoza, and most likely Venturino.

Dovbyk remains on the way out, while Pellegrini and El Shaarawy’s contracts are expiring but could remain, especially the former.

Roma is closely monitoring several wingers, as there will be a real shakeup, with Malen the only one guaranteed a spot.

Among the names circled in red are Summerville of West Ham and Tsolis of Club Brugge, both members of the Dutch striker’s agency.

Roma is monitoring several wingers to give Gasperini an attacking lineup suited to his style of football.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, in addition to Summerville and Tzolis, the Giallorossi have also set their sights on Tottenham’s Tel.

The 2004-born player has scored three goals in the Premier League this year and has yet to fully express his talent for Spurs.

Roma already sought the player in January, and a significant resurgence is not out of the question.

While things around the NFL were mostly quiet on Friday, the Tennessee Titans made a minor roster move aimed at adding more competition, further crowding the wide receiver room. 

The Titans claimed and were awarded wide receiver Courtney Jackson off waivers from the New York Giants. Originally an undrafted rookie free agent with the Denver Broncos following the 2025 NFL Draft, Jackson had signed with the Giants early in the offseason after spending all of 2025 on the Seattle Seahawks practice squad.

The 5-foot-11, 189-pound Jackson is an experienced receiver and return specialist who earned an All-ACC mention from Pro Football Focus (PFF) after leading Syracuse in receiving in 2021, before eventually transferring to Arkansas State to finish his college career. He ended his time at Arkansas State with 81 receptions for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns, and added another 31 returns for 438 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons.

To make room for Jackson, Tennessee parted ways with wide receiver Hal Presley, who had signed a futures contract in January.

Liverpool set the standards last season. The Premier League table provides some proof those standards have slipped on the pitch; so, too, the total of 18 defeats in all competitions. Yet the attention has been diverted to the standards off the pitch. Mohamed Salah said he felt the bond in the dressing room is changing; he spoke of his concerns about the mentality in the dressing room. A man whose chiselled physique is testament to his work ethic said players need to get in early to go the gym, which in turn will encourage others to.

For Arne Slot, the culture is not a problem; nor does he think it will be next season when Andy Robertson and Salah, two of the stalwarts of Jurgen Klopp’s great side, depart. Slot argued that there are enough cultural architects already in his side to weather the loss of two influential figures.

“What Mo is saying is that standards are really important for a football club,” said Slot. “I cannot agree more with him. I did not hear him say that the standards are not okay now. I’m not worried that the standards will be lower next season than they were this season, last season or the season before.”

That mention of those three campaigns may have been a coincidence. But if the accusation was flying around that Liverpool were afforded too many days off, they have had fewer this year than in their title-winning campaign under Slot, or their final year under Klopp. One interpretation of their slide this year is that the culture Klopp and his senior players imbued is being dissipated and diluted with time. Slot does not concur.

“I think they [standards] are in a good place right now,” he said. “I think it also makes sense that younger players – it doesn’t have to be the new players, it can be the seven-year-old that comes from the academy – usually get the example of players like Mo and others for them to understand and to know what it takes to play every three days at this level. I see – and I think – that our younger players have improved in this already. I am completely convinced that we have enough players next season – and, add to that, the ones that we will sign – to put the standards exactly into the place they are needed. The standards are not only important in the gym.”

That may be pertinent, too. The declining standard of Salah’s performance, from scoring 29 league goals last season to seven this, is a reason for Liverpool's decline. Age has caught up with some, injury with others. There are others who have underperformed. But, Slot thinks, he has the right characters in the camp.

In interviews last week, Salah sounded nostalgic, reflecting on joining a club where the culture was set by men like Jordan Henderson and James Milner. Then Liverpool may not have just had the best team; they seemed to have the best dressing room, too. Now there is the chance that three of the four elder statesmen will go, with Slot saying that Virgil van Dijk will be at Anfield next season but, significantly or otherwise, not mentioning Alisson. There are questions about the future of Joe Gomez, the longest-serving player, and Curtis Jones, the local in the dressing room.

It may mean Dominik Szoboszlai, a leader in troubled times, becomes vice-captain. Others will also have to step up. Slot does not believe he needs to import players to set the standards in the summer; in any case, Robertson’s replacement is likely to be Kostas Tsimikas, returning from loan at Roma.

Nor, though, does he feel he needs to buy senior players. He sees culture setters in his current group. “I’m not saying that we need to sign them,” he said. “I am saying that we have them already. Senior players are not the only ones who set the standards at a club. If I look at Paris Saint-Germain: Desire Doue is 20, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is 25. Can they set standards for another generation or for a team? I don’t know what time they are in the gym, by the way. And this is what Mo did when he was 26. I don’t think it comes down to ages that only 32 or 33-year-old players can set standards.

“They have lived experiences and know what it takes to play at this level. But come on, we are not talking about Florian Wirtz or Hugo Ekitike or Alexander Isak and all these players we signed. They are not children, they are serious professionals that know what it takes to play at this level as well. They now know what it takes to play in the Premier League and Champions League at this level. It can only be better but it is not only down to 34-year-olds. They can definitely be a big help which they have been in the last two seasons and Virgil will still be next season as well. But standards are not only set by 34-year-olds. Standards can also be set by a 20-year-old, like Doue, or Salah who played for Liverpool when he was 26. That did not only start when he is what age he is now. It is not age related.”

Part of it has to come from Slot, too, as he readily agreed. “Players can help but it is definitely also that the manager sets standards as well,” he said. But his view is that the culture club, to borrow John Motson’s famous phrase in his commentary of the 1988 FA Cup final, will still have the right culture.

Victory is a must for Manchester City against Brentford if they are to keep the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

Though they salvaged a draw at the last, two dropped points against Everton could be costly for Pep Guardiola’s side with their rivals now five points clear at the top of the table.

While Manchester City still have a game in hand, they will need Arsenal to slip up and must take care of their own business against a visiting team with plenty to play for themselves.

Brentford appear to be battling with Bournemouth and Brighton for sixth place and a success here would be a significant boost to their chances.

Here’s everything you need to know.

When is Manchester City vs Brentford?

Manchester City vs Brentford is due to kick off at 5.30pm BST on Saturday 9 May at the Etihad Stadium.

Sunderland host Manchester United on Saturday hoping to spring a surprise on the Red Devils and keep their European hopes alive.

The Black Cats sit 12th in the standings with three games remaining, but with Brentford in seventh place just four points above them, they still have an outside chance of snatching a Europa League or Conference League place.

United secured Champions League football for next season with last Sunday's 3-2 home win over Liverpool, so the pressure is largely off Michael Carrick and his players. That said, they will want to ensure a strong end to the season so they can claim third spot in the standings and a potentially better draw for the 2026/27 league phase.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have not lost a game in 27 days. Since the playoffs began, the Thunder are 6-0, sweeping the Suns and taking the first two games from the Lakers.

While there were certainly allegations of flopping waged against OKC in Game 2, they still resulted in a 125-107 victory. The Thunder also had three starters who scored at least 20 points in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren and Ajay Mitchell. 

The Lakers have been scuffling, winning just one of their last five contests. In Game 2 against the Thunder, they were thrilled to have Austin Reaves back in the starting five. After missing the first round of the playoffs due to injury, Reaves scored 31 points in 38 minutes for the Lakers. 

Looking ahead to Game 3, the Lakers will need a more active presence on the boards after Deandre Ayton. He totaled 10 of the team's 30 rebounds with a -4 +/- in an 18-point loss. Should they gain the majority of possessions, find put-backs, and control the ball, the Lakers have a shot in this series.

For the Thunder, they need to stick to the plan. They distributed the ball well over a variety of players, without relying on Gilgeous-Alexander as a sole scoring threat. They also got excellent bench production in Game 2, with Jaren McCain and Cason Wallace scoring 18 and 12, respectively.

Juventus remain one of the biggest football clubs in the world and has regularly invested heavily in the transfer market in an effort to maintain its status among Europe’s elite teams. The Bianconeri have often spent significant amounts to secure their preferred targets and, on some occasions, have even been willing to pay above market value to strengthen the squad.

The club has continued working to rebuild a team capable of competing at the highest level in both domestic and European competitions. Juventus believe they possess the ambition and history required to challenge any opponent, but recent transfer decisions have created several complications ahead of the upcoming summer window.

Luciano Spalletti arrived as Juventus manager after the season had already started, limiting the amount of business he could complete during the January transfer window. As a result, the club is expected to be far more active during the summer as they attempt to reshape the squad.

Juventus Facing Difficult Transfer Decisions

However, Juventus may first need to generate funds before they can pursue major signings. According to Corriere dello Sport, the club currently has too many players who are no longer considered important parts of the project and must be moved on before new arrivals can be secured.

The report suggests Juventus are struggling with several disappointing signings made in recent years, leaving the club in a difficult financial position. Many of those players are unlikely to command transfer fees close to the amounts originally spent to bring them to Turin.

This situation could significantly affect the club’s ability to invest in higher-quality additions during the next transfer window. Juventus are therefore expected to focus heavily on improving recruitment decisions and squad planning moving forward.

The club understands that previous mistakes in the transfer market are now impacting their long-term strategy. Improving player recruitment and avoiding expensive errors will likely become one of the major priorities for the management team.

Champions League Qualification Remains Crucial

Juventus are also aware that qualification for next season’s Champions League could dramatically improve its financial situation. Securing a place in Europe’s top competition would provide the club with greater flexibility in the market and make attracting top players much easier.

Failure to qualify, however, would place the Bianconeri under even greater financial pressure ahead of the new season. That possibility has increased the importance of the remaining matches as Juventus continue fighting to secure their objectives before the campaign concludes.

The post Red Wings Prospect Finds Comfort Zone appeared first on Detroit Hockey Now.

In the AHL playoffs with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Detroit Red Wings 2024 first-round pick Michael Brandsegg-Nygard is feeling comfortable. And when Brandsegg-Nygard enters into his comfort zone, the night tends to get uncomfortable for his opponents.

Discussing where his game is at today as compared to when he started the 2025-26 season with the Red Wings, that was the word Brandsegg-Nygard was choosing as the appropriate adjective.

“More comfortable,” Brandsegg-Nygard said. “I mean, I feel like it helps with everything in the game. So, yeah, just more comfortable.”

That comfort came on Friday from a 5-2 victory that eliminated the Manitoba Moose from the AHL Calder Cup playoffs. Brandsegg-Nygard scored a goal and scored a technical knockout with his persistent physical presence.

If there was a scrum on the ice and someone on the Moose needed an attitude adjustment, Brandsegg-Nygard was there to apply some bone-jarring realignment.

Red Wings Prospect Likes It Rough

“Just kind of happens,” Brandsegg-Nygard said of embracing the physical side of the game. “I don’t think about going in the scrums or whatever you call it, but it just happens in the moment.

“You’re a little frustrated, and you’re starting to get to know the other guys in the other locker room, so you have a little rivalry against them. You start to get a little beef there. But that’s just fine.”

Fine and dandy as far as Brandsegg-Nygard said. If you want to play rough, he’s happy to play along.

“Yeah, I mean, the intensity goes a little up,” Brandsegg-Nygard said of playoff hockey. “That part of the game is so much more fun.

“I like it a little physical and stuff like that. As I said, with the little rivalries we have with guys, so that’s a lot of fun.”

Playoff Hockey Suits Brandsegg-Nygard

The rough-and-tumble world of postseason hockey isn’t a place for shrinking violets. But it’s the perfect place for Brandsegg-Nygard to find himself. He fits into that world like a glove.

“Yeah, he plays a North American pro style already in terms of his physicality,” Grand Rapids coach Dan Watson said.

It’s just one element of the package that has the Red Wings seeing a bright future ahead for the winger they chose 15th overall in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft.

“He’s a really good forechecker,’ Watson said. “Obviously, we know he’s got a good shot. He’s still trying to find his way to get open to find those shots. But his overall awareness, his defensive play. I put him out there for the last couple of shifts.

“I trust him, and he’s going to do the right things. He’s strong on pucks, he protects pucks, he’s hard to knock off pucks. So, just all those intangibles he has make him a special player.

“There’s still room to grow, and I think that’s the exciting thing for him.”

As Barcelona prepare for one of the most important El Clásicos in recent years, Hansi Flick is facing one major tactical dilemma – how to stop an in-form Vinícius Júnior.

The Brazilian forward arrives into the clash in strong form after scoring four goals in his last three matches.

Within Barcelona’s coaching staff, there is a clear understanding that limiting Vinicius could dramatically reduce Madrid’s danger in attack. 

Because of that, Flick must analyse which player should take responsibility for containing the winger during the title-deciding showdown at Spotify Camp Nou.

Flick’s three options

As such, the manager currently has three serious options in mind, namely, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, and club captain Ronald Araujo.

Araujo has historically been Barcelona’s preferred solution against Vinicius in major Clásicos. 

Even during periods where the Uruguayan regularly played centrally, previous managers often moved him to right-back specifically to deal with the Brazilian’s pace and direct running.

Kounde is likely to start against Real Madrid. (Photo by Yasser Bakhsh/Getty Images)

However, the situation appears different this time because Kounde has generally been Flick’s first-choice option at right-back and remains the favourite to start there again despite an inconsistent campaign by his standards. 

The French defender’s physical strength, recovery pace, and experience in one-on-one situations are seen as important qualities against Vinicius.

At the same time, Eric Garcia’s recent performances have complicated the decision for Flick.

The Spanish defender featured on the right side against Osasuna while Kounde served a suspension, and reports suggest the coaching staff were satisfied with his display. 

What already appears almost certain is that Eric Garcia will start the Clasico, although the remaining question is whether Flick uses him at right-back or alongside Pau Cubarsi in central defence.

If Garcia moves into the middle, Barcelona would likely have to break up a defensive partnership between Cubarsi and Gerard Martin that has become increasingly stable in recent weeks. 

That factor could ultimately push Flick towards keeping Kounde on the right side to neutralise Vinicius.

Arsenal’s players have consistently produced strong performances throughout the season, which has played a major role in the club’s impressive campaign across both domestic and European competitions. The Gunners remain in contention for major honours and could still finish the season as Premier League and European champions.

Arsenal have established themselves as one of the strongest teams in world football under Mikel Arteta, with the squad demonstrating quality, balance and resilience in important matches. As the season approaches its conclusion, the coming weeks are expected to define whether Arsenal can complete what has already been an outstanding campaign.

Although the squad has performed collectively at a high level, there are certain players who are viewed as especially important to the structure and success of the team. These individuals form the core of the side and continue to influence Arsenal’s performances in crucial moments.

Arteta Relies On Key Core Players

Arteta has built one of the strongest Arsenal teams supporters have seen in many years, with the manager clearly placing trust in a select group of players during the biggest matches. His team selections have often reflected the importance of maintaining a reliable spine throughout the squad.

The Arsenal manager has consistently relied on players who provide leadership, defensive stability and composure under pressure. Many observers agree with his decisions regarding which individuals are best suited to key fixtures during the season.

According to Mirror Football, former Manchester City defender Micah Richards recently highlighted the players he believes form the backbone of the current Arsenal side.

Speaking about the squad, Richards said: “We talk about the spine of the team, it’s Raya, Gabriel, Saliba and Rice.

“Also Saka. Saka has come back. He hasn’t been quite the same this season but in big moments in games he’s stepped up.”

Saka Praised For Big Match Influence

Richards also pointed to Saka’s growing influence during important fixtures despite the winger not always reaching his highest level consistently this season.

Continuing his assessment, Richards added: “He showed it against Fulham and gets the goal against Atletico. They’re coming into form at the right time and that’s the most important thing.”

Arsenal supporters will hope that the team’s key players can continue delivering strong performances during the closing stages of the campaign. With major trophies still within reach, the form and leadership of the squad’s core figures could ultimately determine whether the club finishes the season with silverware.

The Carolina Hurricanes are just one win away from closing out Round Two against the Philadelphia Flyers, as they aim to accomplish just that Saturday at Xfinity Mobile Arena.

The game is scheduled for 6:00 PM EDT.

In Game 3 on Thursday night, the Hurricanes took a commanding 3-0 series lead with a 4-1 win in the first tilt in the Flyers’ own barn. As with most games of the series, it was filled with penalties, including a two-minute minor boarding penalty against Taylor Hall (which underwent a review for a major penalty), several roughing penalties across the teams, and a 10-minute misconduct to the Flyers’ top line winger, Travis Konecny.

A rarity, the Hurricanes had the edge in power-play opportunities. Their special teams were dominant, with just one of their four goals having been at five-on-five.

Embarking into a Game 4 against a cornered Flyers team, the general expectation is that the intensity will be the most seen this series. As such, there is a possibility that Nicolas Deslauriers may be added to the lineup for additional grit. If so, it will be the first time in his 13-season career that he has faced a former team in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Thursday, Jordan Staal’s two points propelled him up the Hurricanes’ franchise records list, pulling him into sole ownership of the fifth-most playoff points in franchise history, surpassing brother Eric Staal, with whom he was tied.

The Hurricanes’ top line of Sebastian Aho, Andrei Svechnikov, and Seth Jarvis have a very unique and ironic all-time playoff goals record currently. Aho currently has 37 goals (which is Svechnikov’s sweater number), while Svechnikov has 24 (which is Jarvis’ sweater number), and Jarvis has 20 (which is Aho’s sweater number).

Frederik Andersen is the first goaltender since Hockey Hall of Famer Jacques Plante in 1969 to start his first seven games of a postseason 7-0 while posting a goals against average of 1.02 and .957 save percentage or better.

Though the rest of the postseason will only be available to watch via national broadcasts, local play-by-play announcer Mike Maniscalco and analyst Tripp Tracy will continue to call games on the Hurricanes’ radio partner. 99.9 The Fan.

A small polar expedition ship carrying roughly 147 passengers and crew is expected to dock in Tenerife, Spain in the early hours of Sunday, May 10, following a hantavirus outbreak that has killed three people and triggered an international public health response with over a dozen countries.

The MV Hondius is not a mainstream cruise ship. Operated by Dutch company Oceanwide Expeditions, the 170-passenger vessel specializes in remote polar voyages to Antarctica, the Arctic, and isolated South Atlantic islands.

The ship departed the southern tip of Argentina on April 1 on its Atlantic Odyssey voyage, carrying passengers from 23 countries.

Here is how the outbreak unfolded:

April 1: The Hondius departs Ushuaia, Argentina, beginning a transatlantic expedition voyage.

April 6: A 70-year-old male passenger falls ill with fever, headache, and gastrointestinal symptoms.

April 11: The passenger dies on board. The cause of death is not yet identified as hantavirus.

April 24: The passenger’s body is removed from the ship during a stop at Saint Helena, a remote British territory in the South Atlantic. His 69-year-old wife, also a passenger, leaves the ship and boards a flight to Johannesburg. She dies on April 26.

Test results on May 4 confirm she was infected with hantavirus. On the same day, more than two dozen other passengers disembark at Saint Helena without contact tracing, dispersing to at least 12 countries.

April 27: A second ill passenger is medically evacuated from Ascension Island to South Africa. Test results on May 2 confirm hantavirus infection. The passenger remains hospitalized in an intensive care unit.

May 2: A German woman who had shown symptoms since April 28 dies on board the ship. Hantavirus is officially confirmed in a ship passenger for the first time.

May 3: The Hondius arrives in Cape Verde. The World Health Organization confirms it is responding to a suspected hantavirus outbreak. Three additional passengers on board are reported ill.

May 6: After Cape Verde is deemed unable to handle the scale of evacuation needed, the ship departs for Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands.

May 9 (current): The Hondius is en route to Tenerife, where it is expected to dock Sunday. Spain has built an isolated staging area at Granadilla Port. Passengers will be transported in guarded, cordoned-off vehicles directly to repatriation flights.

The U.S. is sending a government medical flight to bring home 17 Americans still on board; they will be quarantined at the National Quarantine Center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

The U.K. is also chartering a plane for its roughly two dozen nationals on board. As of Friday, no one remaining on the ship is reported to have active symptoms.

CDC Moves to Level 3

The CDC has activated its Emergency Operations Center at Level 3, the lowest of three activation levels, to monitor the situation.

The WHO has assessed the public health risk as low, and a flight attendant who briefly came into contact with an infected passenger tested negative for the virus.

Health officials in at least five U.S. states and two New Jersey residents are being monitored as a precaution; none have shown symptoms.

Hantavirus is primarily transmitted through contact with infected rodent droppings, not through casual person-to-person contact. Health officials believe the initial exposure likely occurred on land in South America before the voyage began.

Apps and games are vital to the user experience on smartphones. Advertisements are the primary source of income for most apps, but Samsung is making sure, through Device Care, that excessive ads won’t ruin the user experience.

Samsung has a new Device Care app update for Galaxy users, which adds an actually useful feature. Users can now switch on the newly added toggle to block apps with excessive ads; a practical addition to the application.

Users are generally OK with appropriate ad placements. Things start to worsen once the quota of ads surpasses an understandable limit. Continuous ads can’t let the experience be optimal; their blockage is preferred instead.

The new feature has been added in the Device Care app’s version 13.8.80.7. It is rolling out to Galaxy devices through the Galaxy Store, via Kailash. The rollout is gradual, so you may have to wait a little longer to have it.

Device Care is an app, but it functions functionality is a bit different. It’s accessible right from the Settings of Galaxy smartphones. No need to have the app in the apps drawer and go through a certain set of menus for operation.

Samsung’s Device Care app provides a global Optimize now button. Tapping it optimizes the battery, storage, and memory of phones. It plays a key role in ensuring optimal user experience on Galaxy devices.

Device care is available across a range of Galaxy devices. Meanwhile, the particular feature may be linked to the latest One UI 8.5 software. It remains to be seen whether it’s making its way to devices with older One UI versions.

Match Overview

Liverpool hosts Chelsea at Anfield in a crucial Premier League showdown with significant implications for both clubs. For the Reds, the mission is simple: secure a victory to lock in their spot in next season’s Champions League. Coming off a stinging 3-2 defeat to arch-rivals Manchester United, the pressure is on for Liverpool to deliver a statement win in front of their home crowd and achieve their final objective in a challenging season.

Meanwhile, Chelsea arrives in Merseyside in a state of crisis. The Blues are enduring a disastrous run of form, having lost six consecutive league matches for the first time in 33 years. Currently sitting ninth in the table, they are in serious danger of missing out on European competition entirely. With an FA Cup final on the horizon, Chelsea is desperate to halt their slide and salvage some pride in what has become a season to forget.

Tactical Analysis & Match Context

This season has been a story of unmet expectations for Liverpool, who are approaching a club record for defeats in a single campaign. Despite their struggles, their goal of Champions League qualification remains within reach. In stark contrast, Chelsea‘s season has completely unraveled. Once considered contenders for a top-four spot, they have plummeted down the standings, with their only hope for redemption resting on the upcoming FA Cup final.

The tactical battle will likely see Liverpool dominate possession and territory, leveraging their Anfield advantage. However, the Reds have shown defensive fragility, particularly from set-pieces, and have a tendency to concede the opening goal. Chelsea’s primary challenge is their lack of confidence and attacking rhythm. They recently snapped a 565-minute goal drought and have been leaking goals on the road, making them vulnerable to Liverpool’s attacking pressure.

Liverpool‘s motivation is straightforward: a win guarantees them a place among Europe’s elite next season, providing a positive end to a turbulent year. For Chelsea, the objective is to stop the bleeding. A positive result at Anfield would be a massive morale boost ahead of their cup final and could prevent them from slipping out of the Premier League‘s top ten.

Head-to-Head Record & Historic Trends

Historically, this fixture has been tightly contested. Across the last ten Premier League encounters between the two clubs, there have been five draws, with Chelsea claiming three wins to Liverpool’s two. However, the dynamic shifts significantly at Anfield, where Liverpool has been dominant, losing just one of the last ten league meetings against the Blues while winning four.

Recent matches have consistently produced goals and drama. Liverpool has won the last two head-to-head clashes at Anfield, scoring a combined six goals. The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Chelsea snatch a late 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge, a result Liverpool will be eager to avenge.

A clear trend in recent history is the frequency of goals. Both teams have scored in the last five league meetings, with those games averaging an impressive 3.4 goals per match. This pattern suggests that another open, attacking contest is highly likely, as neither side has demonstrated consistent defensive solidity.

Squad News & Projected Lineups

Both squads are contending with significant player availability issues that will force tactical adjustments from their managers.

Liverpool is facing an injury crisis in their attack, with key forwards Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike ruled out, and Alexander Isak remaining a doubt. This severely limits their offensive options and puts more pressure on Cody Gakpo to lead the line. The goalkeeping situation is also a concern, as third-choice keeper Freddie Woodman is expected to start due to injuries to Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

For Chelsea, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez is expected to be fit despite picking up a head injury in their last match. Mykhailo Mudryk is unavailable due to suspension, which will likely see Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto occupy the wings. Following his spectacular bicycle-kick goal against Nottingham Forest, Joao Pedro is set to continue as the central striker, tasked with finding a breakthrough against the Liverpool defense.

Liverpool Projected XI (4-2-3-1):
Woodman; Jones, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, MacAllister; Frimpong, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Gakpo
With their primary goalscorers sidelined, Liverpool‘s lineup is built for creativity and pace. Wirtz and Frimpong will provide the attacking threat from wide positions, while Szoboszlai supports Gakpo from a central role. The makeshift defense and third-choice keeper will need to be sharp to handle Chelsea‘s attackers.

Chelsea Projected XI (4-2-3-1):
Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Cucurella; Caicedo, Lavia; Palmer, Fernandez, Neto; Pedro
Chelsea will rely on the individual brilliance of Cole Palmer and the playmaking of Enzo Fernandez in an advanced midfield role. Joao Pedro will look to build on his recent goal, but the team’s overall lack of cohesion remains a major hurdle. The defense must find a way to contain Liverpool‘s press at Anfield.

Erden Timur'un gelecek hafta yurt dışı çıkış yasağı gibi adli kontrol şartı ile tahliye edilmesi ihtimali doğdu. Eğer gerçekleşirse Galatasaray'ın şampiyonluk kutlamalarının yıldızı olacak.

Metehan Baltacı'nın tahliyesinden sonra Galatasaray cephesi şampiyonluk kutlamaları haftasında Erden Timur'un tahliye olabileceği umudunu taşıyor.

Erden Timur, Aralık 2025'ten bu yana tutuklu bulunuyor. Avukatları tahliye duruşması için başvuru yaptı. Cevap bekliyor. Mahkemenin, tutukluluk yerine yurt dışı çıkış yasağı gibi adli kontrol şartlarını yeterli görerek Timur'u salıvermesi ihtimaller dahilinde.

Eğer beklentiler gerçekleşirse Timur'un gelecek hafta Kasımpaşa maçından sonra yapılacak 26. şampiyonluk kutlamalarına bizzat Dursun Özbek'in davetlisi olarak katılabileceği iddia edildi.

Hatta Başkan Özbek'in daha da ileri giderek Timur'u yönetim kurulu içinde değerlendirmesinin önünün de açılacağı gelen bilgiler arasında.

Fenerbahçe'nin UEFA'dan 15 milyon euro'luk ceza alma ihtimalini Kerem Aktürkoğlu transferi yüzünden alacağı iddia edildi. Akıllara Hakan Safi'nin, "Cezalık bir durum yok... bundan sonra konuşanlar Fenerbahçe'nin düşmanıdır. Bu saatten sonra konu kapanmıştır" sözleri geldi.

Fenerbahçe'ye Haziran başında UEFA'dan 15 milyon euro'luk ceza geleceği iddiası başkanlık seçimini bile gölgede bıraktı. Burada bir diğer iddia ise cezanın Kerem Aktürkoğlu transferi yüzünden alınacağı söylentisi.

İŞTE O İDDİA:

Kerem Aktürkoğlu'nun transfer sürecinden ceza gelmeyecek... ancak Fenerbahçe'nin Kerem'in maaşını asgari ücret üzerinden göstermesi sıkıntı yaratabilir. UEFA, kulübe "maaşını Hakan Safi ödüyor sen limitten düşmüyorsun" diye ceza vermeye karar verebilir. Limit aşımı burada meydana geldi. Fenerbahçe limit aşımından ceza aldı.

Hakan Safi daha önce Kerem Aktürkoğlu yüzünden ceza almayacaklarını açıklamıştı. 22 mart tarihinde verdiği röportajda "Kerem'in aleyhinde haber yapan karşısında beni bulur" sözlerini kullanmıştı.

Hakan Safi'den Kerem Aktürkoğlu ve UEFA açıklaması

İŞTE HAKAN SAFİ'NİN O SÖZLERİ

- Kerem'le ilgili açıklama yaptım. Milli oyuncumuz, Fenerbahçe'nin ve milli takımın en değerli oyuncularından birisi.

- UEFA'nın istediği bilgi notlarını biz federasyon ile konuşup gereken yerlere verdik. 2 hafta oldu bunları yapalı. Şimdi neden ortaya çıktı, ben anlamış değilim.

- Cezalık bir durum yok. Bu saatten sonra Kerem'in aleyhinde haber yapan karşısında beni bulur.

- Konuyu kapatalım. Bundan sonra konuşanlar Fenerbahçe'nin düşmanıdır. Bu saatten sonra konu kapanmıştır.

Galatasaray'da bu gece şampiyonluk gelirse haftaya Kasımpaşa maçının Cumartesi günü erken saatte Atatürk stadında oynanması için harekete geçilecek. Pazar günü büyük şölen var.

Antalyaspor maçını kazanıp gizli tutulan şampiyonluk kutlamalarının resmi startı için düğmeye basmayı bekleyen Galatasaray'ın planları hazır.

Eğer bu gece şampiyonluk ilan edilirse Kasımpaşa maçı için TFF'ye gidilecek. Kasımpaşa ile de temas kurulacak. Maçın Cumartesi daha erken saatte oynanması istenecek. Ayrıca Kasımpaşa'ya da "Atatürk stadına maçı alalım" denilecek.

Eğer tüm bu talepler kabul görürse Galatasaray şampiyonluk kutlamalarını da cumartesi akşamı Rams Park'ta yapacak.

Gelen ilk bilgiler de Fotospor'un daha önce gündeme getirdiği gibi kutlamalara dünyaca ünlü şarkıcı ve influencerlerin davet edilmesi gündemde.

Rita Ora'dan Saweetie'ye, Pharrell Williams'tan Bebe Rexha'ya kadar şarkıcılar ile Natasha Thomsen'den, Kai Rooney'ye, Mo Vlogs'tan Khaby Lame'e kadar pek çok ünlü influencerın Galatasaray'ın kutlamalarına katılması için planlar üzerinde bir süredir çalışılıyor.

Yüzde 80 gitti denilse de Galatasaray'da Mauro Icardi dönemi kapanmadı. Okan Buruk bazı sözler alırsa Başkan Dursun Özbek'e "sözleşme yenileyelim" diyebilir.

Mauro Icardi gidecek mi kalacak mı? Arjantinli oyuncu "oynamak" istiyor. Galatasaray yönetimi de kalmasını istiyor. Okan Buruk ise henüz bir net karar vermedi.

Çünkü maliyet/yarar açısından bakıyor ve Arjantinli kaptanın fiziki ve psikolojik durumunu değerlendiriyor.

Her ne kadar düşünceler yüzde 80 gidecek şeklinde olsa da Icardi'nin hala kalma ihtimali var. Ancak kalmak için maaş indirimden yedekliği kabul etmeye, Galatasaray'ın sağlık ekibinin süreci (Arjantin'de ameliyat olması çok etkiledi) yönetmesinden tatillerden ülkesine gidip gelme sürelerine kadar pek çok konuda sözler vermesi gerekiyor.

Okan Buruk'un önceliği hem fiziksel hem de psikolojik olarak yüzde 100 hazır bir isimle devam etmek. Icardi'yi inanıyor ve tanıyor. Ancak güvenmek de istiyor.

Eğer bütün şartları kabul ederse kalmasını ciddi anlamda düşünebilir.

Galatasaray bu akşam şampiyon olmaya hazırlanıyor. Teknik direktör Okan Buruk, Antalyaspor'a karşı ilk 30 dakikada skoru alıp geceyi festival havasına çevirmenin planlarını tamamladı.

Okan Buruk, Galatasaray'ın Antalyaspor karşısında şampiyonluk maçında senaryosunu kurguladı. Amaç; fırtına gibi başlayıp, erken bitirmek. Buruk’un hedefi ilk 30 dakika dolmadan skoru alıp Antalyaspor’un direncini tamamen kırmak.

Maç önces yapılan toplantılarda, "İşi şansa bırakmayalım, fişi erkenden çekelim" mesajını verdi. Eğer Galatasaray beklediği gibi skoru erken alırsa Okan Buruk, Mauro Icardi'yi sahaya erken atacak. Veda maçını Arjantinli kaptana layık hale getirecek.

Buruk'un planı işlerse, maçın son bir saati teknik taktikten ziyade tam bir festival havasında geçecek.

Tribünlerin şampiyonluk şarkılarıyla inlediği, yedek kulübesinin ve sahadaki oyuncuların skorun rahatlığıyla kutlamalara erken başladığı bir atmosfer hedefleniyor.

İngiltere Championship play-off yarı final ilk maçında Acun Ilıcalı'nın takımı Hull City, sahasında Millwall ile 0-0 berabere kaldı. Rövanş maçı Pazartesi günü saat 22.00'de oynanacak.

İngiltere Championship play-off yarı final ilk maçında Hull City, sahasında Millwall ile 0-0 berabere kaldı.

Türk iş insanı Acun Ilıcalı'nın sahibi olduğu Hull City, MKM Stadı'nda oynanan yarı final ilk maçında Londra ekibi Millwall'u ağırladı.

Tempolu başlayan mücadelenin ilk yarısında rakip ceza alanında çok net pozisyonlar yakalayan Hull City, son vuruşlarda etkisiz kalınca skor tabelasında istediği değişikliği yapamadı ve iki takım devreye 0-0 beraberlikle gitti.

Ev sahibi ekip, ikinci yarıya Lewie Coyle'ın direğin üstünden az farkla dışarı giden şutuyla başlarken konuk takım, 69. dakikada Camiel Neghli'nin yan direkten auta çıkan şutunda gole çok yaklaştı.

Maçın 85. dakikasında Millwall'da Leonard'ın kaydettiği gol, öncesinde faul yapıldığı gerekçesiyle iptal edildi.

Ligde bu sezon iki takım arasında oynanan iki karşılaşmada da 4'er gol atılmasına karşın play-off yarı finalindeki ilk maç golsüz sona erdi.

Karşılaşmanın rövanşı, 11 Mayıs Pazartesi günü Millwall'un sahasında oynanacak. Bu turu geçen ekip, 23 Mayıs Cumartesi günü Wembley Stadı'ndaki final maçında Premier Lig'e çıkmak için mücadele edecek.

Play-off'ta final mücadelesi veren diğer iki takım ise ligi 4 ve 5. sıralarda bitiren Southampton ve Middlesbrough.

Hull City, tarihinde 2008 ve 2016 yıllarında play-off'a kalmış ve her ikisinde de Premier Lig'e çıkmayı başarmıştı.

Fenerbahçe'de başkan adaylığından Aziz Yıldırım lehine çekilen Barış Göktürk, açıklamalarda bulundu. Göktürk, başkan adayı Aziz Yıldırım'ın sarı-lacivertli kulübü düzlüğe çıkaracak isim olduğunu belirtti.

Fenerbahçe'nin fetret devrinden geçtiğinin altını çizen Göktürk, "Fenerbahçe 12 yıldır şampiyon olamıyor ve ciddi maddi problemler var. Fenerbahçe'nin gerçek bir kaptana ihtiyacı var. Camiamız bu mali sıkıntılardan ve sportif başarısızlıktan ancak ve ancak Aziz Yıldırım'ın olağanüstü gayretleriyle çıkabilir. Kendisini destekliyoruz. İnşallah Fenerbahçe, hak ettiği şampiyonlukları yeniden kazanır. 6 Süper Lig şampiyonluğu kazandırdı. Basketbolda 1 Avrupa Ligi şampiyonluğu, voleybolda Avrupa şampiyonluğu kazandırdı. Aziz başkan, benim ve arkadaşlarımızın yaptığı çağrıya kulak verdi, kendisine teşekkür ediyoruz. Fenerbahçe'nin 120. yılı ancak efsane başkanımıza yakışır." açıklamasını yaptı.

“Qartallar” 50 xalla beşinci sıradadır və “Neftçi” ilə xallarını bərabərləşdirib. “Ağ-qaralar” sabah “Şamaxı”ya qalib gələcəyi halda, xal fərqini üçə yüksəldəcək. Bu, sona iki tur qalmış bakılılar üçün böyük üstünlük yaradacaq.

“Zirə”nin əsas hədəfi kuboku qazanmaqdır. “Qartallar” həm titul, həm də Avropa Liqasına vəsiqə əldə etmək arzusundadır. Finalda rəqib “Sabah”dır və bir oyunluq matç olacaq. Rəşad Sadıqov “Zirə” ilə buna qədər iki dəfə finala vəsiqə qazanıb və məğlub olub. Təcrübə baxımından “bayquşlar”ı üstələyən “qartallar” bütün diqqətini dörd gün sonra baş tutacaq həlledici matça verib.

“İmişli” isə bu mövsüm “Zirə”yə məğlub olmayıb. Liqadakı yerini təmin edən Jorj Kaşkilyanın yetirmələri debütant olmasına baxmayaraq, özündən güclü kollektivlərdən xal və xallar almağı bacarıb. Burda portuqaliyalı mütəxəssisin əməyi də danılmazdır.

Lakin kuluarlarda dolaşan xəbərlərə görə, Kaşkilya yayda göndəriləcək. İlk ilində “Kəpəz”, “Qəbələ” kimi Premyer Liqa təcrübəsi böyük olan komandaları üstələmək asan iş deyil və mütəxəssis daha yaxşı heyətlə nələr bacara biləcəyini göstərmək üçün şans qazanmalıdır.

The post Aave Recovers Exploited rsETH Funds as $71M ETH Return Moves Forward appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Aave says its rsETH recovery process has entered Phase II after major progress in resolving the exploit tied to Aave V3 on Ethereum and Arbitrum.

According to the protocol, the attacker’s eight identified Aave V3 positions were successfully liquidated on May 6, with the recovered rsETH collateral transferred to the Recovery Guardian under an Aave DAO-approved proposal.

At the same time, governance proposals backed by both Mantle DAO and Arbitrum DAO were passed to support the broader DeFi United recovery effort.

Aave noted that normal users and Umbrella stakers were not impacted during the liquidation process.

$71 Million Recovery Plan Faces Legal Complications

A major part of the recovery effort involves the $71 million worth of ETH recovered by Arbitrum’s Security Council.

The Arbitrum DAO voted to return the recovered funds to Aave users, but the process was temporarily disrupted after plaintiffs holding judgments against North Korea issued a restraining notice targeting the frozen ETH.

In response, Aave LLC filed an emergency motion asking the court to vacate the notice. Following a May 6 hearing, the judge approved a proposal allowing the immobilized ETH to be transferred to Aave LLC, with the restraining order shifting alongside the funds.

As the legal process continues, Aave said separate borrowed funds will temporarily cover the shortfall until the restricted ETH is officially returned to users.

Aave Plans to Burn rsETH and Restore Market Operations

The next phase of the recovery focuses on restoring rsETH backing and reopening normal bridge activity.

On Arbitrum, the liquidated rsETH will be burned to remove the inflated supply created during the exploit. Kelp will also retire the related LayerZero packet on Ethereum to prevent additional rsETH from being minted on the receiving side.

Meanwhile, the seized rsETH on Ethereum will be transferred into the bridge lockbox alongside ETH committed by DeFi United coalition members. Once the lockbox regains full backing, bridge operations and rsETH withdrawals will gradually resume.

Aave also confirmed that temporary emergency configurations introduced during the incident, including setting WETH loan-to-value ratios to zero on Aave V3 Ethereum Core, will soon return to normal as recovery efforts continue progressing.

The post Ethereum’s Share of DeFi TVL Drops to 54% appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Ethereum has seen its dominance in DeFi Total Value Locked decline from 63.5% at the start of 2025 to around 54%, according to DeFiLlama data cited by CryptoSlate. Despite losing market share to competing blockchain ecosystems, Ethereum remains the largest DeFi network with approximately $45.4 billion in TVL. The shift highlights growing competition from alternative Layer 1 and Layer 2 platforms as users increasingly diversify liquidity and on-chain activity across multiple blockchain ecosystems.
