Adaptive Clock has a glitch on One UI 8.5 devices, and Samsung is working on a fix. The problem has been acknowledged by a community moderator, who promised the addressal with the next Beta software update.

It’s already a big day for Samsung users, thanks to One UI 8.5 rollouts. Whether it’s new Beta releases of the expansion of the program, the company has just impressed. Meanwhile, the Adaptive Clock glitch has yet to be addressed.

The latest One UI 8.5 Beta ZZD5 includes improvements linked to the lock screen. But that is not the one tied to the Adaptive Clock scaling bug. It improves the incoming call screen on lock screen after several reports from users.

Upon inspection, Samsung moderator found that the Adaptive Clock has an error that causes the clock fonts to appear stretched in One UI 8.5. The mention of Fold right after One UI 8.5 indicates it is primarily causing on foldables.

Simply put, the system is failing to calculate the font positioning. The same wallpaper is showing normal and abnormal adaptive clock on lock screen. The difference is just size, which renders the font to overlap instead of blend.

Samsung hasn’t released new Beta updates for Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 today. It seems the work is still underway and enhancements will be provided later. We will keep you updated when a credible update arrives for the same.

Despite having had a solid start to the season, Rafael Leão’s performances in recent matches have come under criticism. Not only has he failed to score, but he has also not contributed at his usual creative level. Despite this, AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri has stepped in to defend him from the fans, acknowledging his improvement in several aspects of the game in these recent matches.

“In the first half, he had two important chances as a striker. Then, when spaces get tight, it’s difficult to beat your man because he gets doubled up on. It’s not about Rafa or anyone else it’s about delivering different performances and being more patient defensively,” Allegri said, via DAZN Italy. Moreover, the Italian coach acknowledged that his condition is improving compared to previous games.

In the Rossoneri’s latest defeat, the Portuguese received constant boos from the fans, who strongly criticized his performance as a center forward. In the 76 minutes, he failed to score despite having eight shots to do so. In addition, Rafael has now gone a month and a half since his last goal, which came against Cremonese in Serie A. Alongside this, AC Milan have suffered two consecutive defeats, which does not help with the criticism.

Adrien Rabiot backs Allegri in defending Leao after whistles

Despite the fact that Christopher Nkunku, Niclas Füllkrug, and Santiago Giménez are the team’s center forwards, coach Massimiliano Allegri has chosen not to rely on them. Instead, Rafael Leão has been deployed as the team’s striker on several occasions, struggling to bring out his best version. Following the boos from fans in the last match, Adrien Rabiot has joined the coach in defending the Portuguese amid the criticism.

“I can understand the boos, especially after such a heavy defeat. What disappointed me were the boos directed at Leão, because in my opinion we should support and help him that doesn’t help him. We’re all together until the end, so that was a bit unpleasant,” Adrien Rabiot said, via Sky Sports Italy.

Rafael Leão isn’t performing at his best for the Rossoneri—that’s a fact. However, the Portuguese player is playing in positions completely different from those in which he has excelled, having to adapt to playing as a second striker and even a center forward. Asking him to perform at his usual level might be unfair, since he isn’t getting playing time in his ideal position. With just a few games left in the season, he will still have Allegri’s support, just as he announced.

After failing to win the Premier League and delivering a poor performance in the Champions League, Liverpool are preparing for further changes to their squad. Not only will Mohamed Salah leave the team at the end of the season, but Andrew Robertson will as well. After making his decision known, he has been completely honest about his departure after several years, revealing that he never received a contract renewal offer.

“It means I don’t need to lie to everyone (about my future) so it’s a weight off my shoulders… It’s not like I’ve knocked back a contract or anything, there was no contract on the table. It was a conversation we all had. It was a conversation of ‘okay, this is what I want to do, I want to play and I believe I’ve still got the ability to play’. I think I have showed that this season,” Robertson said, as per The Athletic.

Unlike the previous seasons, Andrew Robertson has lost his starting spot at the Reds to Milos Kerkez. While he still has playing time under coach Arne Slot, the Scottish ranks as a backup role, as he does not shine offensively as in previous seasons. For that reason, the English team decided to let him leave as free agent, as he may still look for a starting role in the Premier League.

Instead, Liverpool could recall Konstantinos Tsimikas, who is on loan at AS Roma and is under contract until 2027, meaning he might have to sign a one-year extension. With this, Kerkez would remain as the undisputed starter, with the Greek player serving as a backup in case of injury. However, the Reds lose an undisputed leader in the locker room without the Scot, a group already weakened by the announced departure of Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool may face a significant loss of locker-room leaders

Even though Arne Slot led Liverpool to a Premier League title in his debut season, they now face a difficult rebuild. In the current campaign, the head coach, along with the front office, opted for a new beginning, bringing in Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremy Frimpong, and Florian Wirtz. Now, the Reds are preparing for the departure of several dressing room leaders, which could complicate things.

Both Robertson and Salah will officially leave the Reds at the end of the season. As the second and third captains, respectively, the coach loses two key figures in the dressing room. Alongside them, Alisson Becker’s future is uncertain, as he reportedly has an offer from Juventus and is considering a move, with his contract set to expire in 2027. With this, head coach Arne Slot would lose three of four captains.

In case they were to lose all three for the 2026–27 season, Liverpool could become destabilized, as they would lack veteran leaders in their squad. In addition, they are not coming off their best season, raising further doubts about their overall performance. In this context, Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Ryan Gravenberch may have to step up to lead the dressing room alongside Virgil van Dijk.

Match Overview

All eyes will be on the Brasileirao this week as Palmeiras look to defend their spot at the top of the table in a high-stakes Derby Paulista showdown against archrival Corinthians. After settling for a 1-1 draw in their Copa Libertadores opener, Palmeiras turn their full focus back to league play with the goal of strengthening their hold on first place.

Meanwhile, Corinthians arrive with confidence after opening their continental campaign with a victory, hoping that momentum carries over into domestic action as they attempt to climb away from the relegation zone. With both sides entering in very different positions but equally motivated, this clash promises intensity from start to finish.

Galatasaray, Süper Lig'in 29. haftasında kendi sahasında ağırladığı Kocaelispor maçı kadrosundan son anda çıkarılan kaleci Günay Güvenç'in durumu hakkında bir açıklama yayımladı.

Galatasaray, Günay Güvenç'in kendisini rahat hissetmediğini ve Kocaelispor maçı kadrosunda yer almadığını açıkladı.

Galatasaray'ın açıklaması şu şekilde:

"Daha önceden planlandığı şekilde ısınmada kendini deneyen Günay Güvenç'in, kendini yeterince rahat hissetmemesi nedeniyle maç kadrosunda Batuhan Şen ile değiştirilmesine karar verilmiştir."

Trendyol Süper Lig'in 29. haftasında deplasmanda Göztepe ile 3-3 berabere kalan Kasımpaşa'nın teknik direktörü Emre Belözoğlu, "Bugün bence oyunun tek hakkı bizim kazanmamızdı. İki takım oyuncuları da elinden gelen mücadeleyi koydu ortaya. Ne yazık ki Kasımpaşa'yı budayan, doğrayan hakemle karşı karşıya kaldık." dedi.

Belözoğlu, karşılaşmanın ardından düzenlenen basın toplantısında, iyi hazırlandıkları, oyunda da fazlasıyla karşılığını aldıkları bir maç olduğunu söyledi.

Daha fazla gol atabilecek pozisyonlar bulduklarını aktaran Belözoğlu, "Rakibimiz güçlü bir takım ve çok dinamik oyuncuları var. Çok iyi yönetilen bir kulüp. İki senedir ligde çok fark ortaya koyan bir takım olmasına rağmen bugün bence oyunun tek hakkı bizim kazanmamızdı. İki takım oyuncuları da elinden gelen mücadeleyi koydu ortaya. Ne yazık ki Kasımpaşa'yı budayan, doğrayan hakemle karşı karşıya kaldık. 22 oyuncu için çok üzgünüm çünkü çok mücadele ettiler. Böylesine kötü hakemi bu 22 oyuncu hak etmiyordu." ifadelerini kullandı.

Belözoğlu, dar bir kadroyla mücadele ettiklerini ve sol beklerinin 6 haftadır sakat olduğunu belirterek, şöyle konuştu:

"Sol bekimizin ayağına kramp girmişti ve çıkarmaya hazırlanırken penaltı oldu. Onun dışında yani maç 1-0 nasıl oldu ben bilmiyorum hiç pozisyon yok oyunda. 3-1 yaptık. 3-2 olma imkanı yok. Oyunda 1 tane bile pozisyon yok sonrasında penaltı. Maç 3-1'ken Miroshi'yi ikinci sarıdan atamayan bir hakem. Bence kırılma anları bunlar. Biz iyi analiz ettiğimizi düşünüyorum. Çok net üstün olan taraf bizdik. Çünkü güçlü bir takım var. Göztepe kendi oyununu dinamik oyuncularla oynamaya çalışıyor. Böylesine yüksek, tempolu, geldi gitti olan maçları bu hakemler hak etmiyor."

Milli futbolcu Barış Alper Yılmaz, Galatasaray kariyerindeki 200. resmi maçında forma giydi.

Temmuz 2021'de 1. Lig temsilcisi Ankara Keçiörengücü'nden 21 milyon lira (Dönemin kuruyla 2,1 milyon avro) bonservis bedeliyle transfer edilen Barış Alper Yılmaz, sarı-kırmızılı ekipteki 5. sezonunu geçiriyor.

Geride kalan süreçte 136 Süper Lig, 42 Avrupa kupası, 17 Türkiye Kupası, 4 de TFF Süper Kupa olmak üzere 199 müsabakada forma giyen 25 yaşındaki futbolcu, Kocaelispor mücadelesiyle ikinci kez "dalya" dedi.

Barış Alper, Galatasaray'da 11'i bu sezon olmak üzere 36 gol atma sevinci yaşadı.

Trendyol Süper Lig'in 29. haftasında sahasında Kasımpaşa ile 3-3 berabere kalan Göztepe'nin teknik direktörü Stanimir Stoilov, "Son 20 dakikada önemli bir karakter gösterdik. Burada goller bulduk ve maçı çevirdik. Bizim adımıza olumlu olan maçtaki tek şey buydu." dedi.

Stoilov, maçın ardından düzenlenen basın toplantısında, maçı kazanmak adına takımının yeterince öz güvenli ve dinamik olmadığını söyledi.

Rakiplerine 2 gol pası verdiklerini aktaran Stoilov, "İki tane de asist yapıp bunu da kaçırırlarsa zaten bu her şeyi gösterir. Son 20 dakikada önemli bir karakter gösterdik. Burada goller bulduk ve maçı çevirdik. Bizim adımıza olumlu olan maçtaki tek şey buydu. Ama maç boyunca yaptığımız çok önemli pas hataları vardı. Rakibe yaptığımız asistler var. Böyle olduğu için beraberlik bile önemli bir sonuç diyebiliriz böyle bir senaryonun içerisinde." diye konuştu.

Bir haftada 3 maç oynadıklarını hatırlatan Stoilov, şu ifadeleri kullandı:

"Bu da bizim takımımız adına önemliydi. Özellikle Galatasaray maçından sonra duygusal anlamda oyuncularımız gerçekten eksik kaldılar bu maçta. Bu duygu eksikliğini hafta içinde de hissettim ve bununla ilgili oyuncularımı uyardım. Maalesef bugünkü maçta bu yaşandı. Ben normalde bu konularla ilgili hiç konuşmuyorum ama bence ligde şu anda adaletsiz bir rekabet ortamı var. Çünkü Galatasaray maçımız, normalde onların Avrupa'da yapacağı karşılaşma sonrası oynanacaktı ve bunun ertelenmemesi gerekiyordu. Bu ertelendiği için biz 1 haftada 3 maç oynamak zorunda kaldık. Bu çok farklı bir senaryoya neden oldu. Bunu söylediğim için bana kızanlar olabilir ama Galatasaray, Liverpool maçından sonra buraya gelseydi bu bizim adımıza bir avantaj olurdu. Yenerdik, yenilirdik bu ayrı bir konu ama bu çok farklı bir maç senaryosu ortaya çıkartırdı. Aynı zamanda biz hem bu şekilde Galatasaray maçını kaybetmiş olduk hem de bugün istediğimiz çok önemli bir maçı kazanamadık. Maalesef ligde adil bir rekabet ortamı yok. Bu şekilde Galatasaray bir avantaj sağlanmış oldu."

Stoilov, taraftarların da maçta mutsuz olduğunu ve belli bölümlerde takımı protesto ettiğini söyledi.

Ligin başında Avrupa hedefini kendisinin koyduğunu vurgulayan Stoilov, "Ben hedefi çok yükseğe, Avrupa hedefi koydum. Çünkü takıma güveniyordum ama belki de oyuncular üzerinde bir baskı oluşturdu. Avrupa'ya gitme yolunda mücadele eden ve Avrupa'ya gidecek olan takımımız bu. Mücadelemizi sonuna kadar sürdüreceğiz." değerlendirmesinde bulundu.

Real Mallorca, İspanya 1. Futbol Ligi'nin (La Liga) 31. haftasında kendi evinde ağırladığı Rayo Vallecano'yu 3-0 mağlup etti.

Trabzonspor'un eski kalecisi ve teknik direktörü Şenol Güneş, bordo-mavili taraftarların Galatasaraylı file bekçisi Uğurcan Çakır'a tepki göstermesi hakkında görüşlerini aktardı.

Trabzonspor'un efsane ismi Şenol Güneş, Ankara'da düzenlenen 'Trabzon Günleri' etkinliğinin son gününde '61 Sohbet' programına konuk oldu.

Trabzonspor'un eski teknik direktörü Şenol Güneş, Ankara, Başkent Millet Bahçesi'nde düzenlenen 'Trabzon Günleri' etkinliğinin son gününde, vatandaşlarla bir araya gelerek futbol kariyerine ilişkin deneyimlerini paylaştı. Güneş burada yaptığı konuşmada etkinliğin düzenlenmesine katkı sağlayan herkese teşekkür ederek, "Ankara Türkiye'nin başkenti, Başbakanlık ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı kupaları nedeniyle Trabzonspor her sene buradaydı ve bu kupaları aldı. O günlerden beri bu sıcak ilgiyi fazlasıyla görüyoruz" diye konuştu.

"BAŞARILI OLDUĞUNUZ ZAMAN BUNUN HAVASINA GİRERSENİZ..."

Etkinliğe gelen konuklara başarılı kariyerinden örnekler veren Güneş, "15 yaşına kadar hiçbir eğitim görmeden, imkan görmeden genç yaşlarda milli takımlarda oynadık. Milli takıma giderken de özveriyle gittik. Bana ihtiyaçları olduğu için aldılar. Bana torpil olsun diye almadılar. Hata yaptığımızda eleştirdiler, iyi oynadığında övgü dizdiler. Bu işin doğasında da Trabzon şehri de bunu yapıyor, gayet normal. Eleştiriler olacaktır, daha iyisini istemek için. Ama köstek olmanın, yıkıcı olmanın kimseye yararı yok. Bugün için bir örnek vereyim. Başarısız olduğunuz zaman mazeret, başarılı olduğunuz zaman şımarmak veya o doza çıkmak sizi başarısızlığa iter. Yani başarısız olduğunuz zaman bunu mazeretle savunmaya kalkarsanız, başarılı olduğunuz zaman gururla bunun havasına girerseniz takımı da şehri de zarara sokarsınız" dedi.

"SİZE NE ZARARI VAR, AKSİNE FAYDASI VAR"

Trabzonspor ile Galatasaray arasında oynanan lig maçında Galatasaray kalecisi Uğurcan Çakır'a tribünlerden edilen küfürlü tezahürat iddialarına da değinen Şenol Güneş, şöyle konuştu:

"İnsanlarımızı dışlamamak lazım. Küfür asla olmamalı. Sadece başkalarının bize yapması değil, bizim de başkalarına yapmamamız gerekiyor. Trabzonspor olarak biz iyi kaleciler çıkardık. Uğurcan da bize hizmet etti. Uğurcan Trabzonspor'da severek oynadı. Artık gitme aşamasına geldi. O aşamadan sonra kalması doğru değildi. Bugün görevde değilim. Kimseyi savunmuyorum ve eleştirmiyorum. Daha sağduyulu, daha akılcı bakmamız gerekiyor. Giderken de Trabzonspor'a ekonomik katkı yaptı. Ama bizi temsil ediyor. Şimdi düşünün ki yarın belki Manchester United'a veya Barcelona'ya gidecek. Onunla gurur duyacağız. Bunlar Trabzon'a zaten sığmaz. O zaman yani dışarıya gitmesinler mi? Gidiyorsa bir suç mudur? Size ne zararı var, aksine faydası var."

“Turan Tovuz”un baş məşqçisi Kurban Berdıyev Premyer Liqanın 27-ci turunda “Sumqayıt”a qarşı keçirdikləri oyunu şərh edib.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, sözügedən komandaların bu gün Tovuzda baş tutmuş görüşü meydan sahiblərinin 2:1 hesablı qələbəsi ilə yekunlaşıb.

Kurban Berdıyev matçdan sonra təşkil edilmiş mətbuat konfransında bunları söyləyib:

“Çox vacib qələbə qazandıq. Futbolçularda ilk dəqiqələrdə həyəcan hiss olunurdu. 2:0-dan sonra hesabı qorumağa çalışdıq. Amma bir qol buraxdıq. Allaha şükürlər olsun ki, hesab 2:2 bitmədi və yekunda qələbə qazandıq”.

Berdıyev uzun fasilədən sonra qovuşduqları Tovuz şəhər stadionunun ot örtüyünün durumuna da toxunub:

“Meydança çox yaxşı idi. Ümid edirik ki, həmişə belə qalacaq. Klubun prezidentinə təşəkkür edirik ki, belə şərait yaradılıb. Çünki süni meydanda oynamaq çox çətindir”.

Baş məşqçi “Turan Tovuz”un avrokuboklara nə dərəcədə hazır olması barədə suala cavab vermək istəməyib:

“Biz bu barədə bir neçə dəfə danışmışıq. Bizim üçün vacib olan növbəti görüşdür. İndidən fikir bildirmək çətindir. Hər şey Allahın əlindədir. Vacib olan növbəti oyundur. Hər şey heyətin möhkənlənməsindən və kimlərlə möhkəmləməyindən asılıdır. İndidən danışırıq. Amma hələ gedib ora çatmamışıq. Avrokuboklara vəsiqə qazansaq, ev oyunlarını Tovuzda oynamaq istəyərdik. Tovuz bizim şəhərimizdir, bura bizim meydançamızdır”.

Türkmən mütəxəssis “Turan Tovuz”la müqaviləsinin mövsümün sonunda bitməsinə də toxunub:

“Mən şərtlərdən razıyam. Amma qərarı klubun prezidenti verməlidir”.

“Sumqayıt”ın baş məşqçisi Saşa İliç Azərbaycan Premyer Liqasının 27-ci turunda “Turan Tovuz”a qarşı keçirdikləri oyunu şərh edib.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, sözügedən komandaların bu gün Tovuzda baş tutmuş görüşündə “Sumqayıt” 1:2 hesablı məğlubiyyətə üzülüb.

Saşa İliç matçdan sonra təşkil edilmiş mətbuat konfransında bunları söyləyib:

“Turan Tovuz”la oynamaq hər dəfə çətin olur. İlk 15 dəqiqədə bir az qorxaq futbol oynadıq. Düzünü deyim ki, belə zəif oyunumuzun səbəbini bilmirəm. Ola bilər ki, stadionda ab-hava oyunçularıma təsir etdi. Öz səhvlərimizdən qollar buraxdıq. Amma ikinci hissədəki oyunumuzdan razıyam. Oyunu kifayət qədər nəzarətimiz altında saxladıq.

Hər oyundan qabaq dua edirik ki, qalib gələk. Artıq bizim avrokuboklar şansımız qalmayıb. Ona görə də hər dəfə ümid edirik ki, gözəl oyun göstərək. Hakimlərlə bağlı məsələlər var. Hər dəfə onların səhvi təsirini göstərir. Özünüz də görürsünüz ki, hansısa oyunda hansısa epizodda penalti yox idi, ya var idi. Məsələn, “Araz-Naxçıvan”la görüş, “Neftçi” ilə matç. Bu gün də əlavə vaxtı daha artıq etmək olardı, amma olmadı. Bu cür kiçik səhvlər də nəticəyə təsir göstərir”.

Misli Premyer Liqasının XXVII turunun “Turan Tovuz” – “Sumqayıt” oyunundan (2:1) sonra meydan sahibi komandanın baş məşqçisi Kurban Berdıyev jurnalistlərin suallarını cavablandırıb.

Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, mütəxəssis əvvəlcə görüşlə bağlı fikirlərini bölüşüb:

– Vacib və lazımlı qələbə qazandıq. Oyundan əvvəl uşaqlarda həyəcan var idi. Şükür ki, qalib gəldik.

– İkinci hissədə oyununuzun alınmaması nə ilə bağlı idi? 2:0-dan sonra arxayınlıq yarandı? 
– 2:0-dan sonra çalışdıq ki, hesabı qoruyaq. Buna görə müdafiəyə çəkildik.

– Ot örtüyünün vəziyyəti necədir?
– Ot örtüyü çox yaxşı idi. Ümid edirik ki, həmişə belə qalar. Klubun prezidentinə təşəkkür edirik ki, bu cür şərait yaradıb.

– Əliyar Ağayev bu oyuna təyinat alsaydı, etiraz edərdiniz?
– Hakimləri tanımıram. Təyinat alsaydı, oynamalıydıq.

– Bu heyət avrokuboklarda oynamağa neçə faiz hazırdır?
– Nəsə demək çətindir. Heyətin möhkəmlənməsinə ehtiyac var. Avrokuboklara düşməyimiz hələ bəlli deyil. İndidən avrokuboklardan danışırıq, amma hələ ora çatmamışıq.

– Avrokuboklara düşsəniz, oyunlar Tovuzda olacaq?
– Əlbəttə. Bizim şəhərimiz, meydanımızdır.

– Müqaviləniz mövsümün sonuna kimidir. Uzatmaq istəyirsiniz?
– Klubdaxili məsələdir.

Misli Premyer Liqasının XXVII turunun “Turan Tovuz” – “Sumqayıt” oyunundan (2:1) sonra qonaq komandanın baş məşqçisi Saşa İliç jurnalistlərin suallarını cavablandırıb.

Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, mütəxəssis əvvəlcə görüşlə bağlı fikirlərini bölüşüb:

– Əvvəlcə onu deyim ki, mənim müdafiəçi Danilo Beskorovoyni ilə mübahisəmi yazan jurnalist burdadırmı? Bu, çox pis və yanlış məlumatdır. Bu məsələ həm oyunçu, həm klub, həm də mənim üçün xoşagəlməz haldır. Danilonun oynamamasının bu cür məsələ ilə heç bir əlaqəsi yoxdur.

– Oyun haqda fikirlərinizi bölüşərdiniz.
– “Turan Tovuz”la oyunlar çətin olur. İlk 15 dəqiqədə qorxaq futbol oynadıq. İkinci hissədən razı qaldım. Oyunu idarə edə bildik.

– Birinci hissədəki qorxaq oyunun səbəbi nə idi?
– Bilmirəm. Ola bilər, stadiondakı atmosfer futbolçulara təsir etdi. Öz səhvlərimizdən qollar buraxdıq.

– Pasxa bayramı ilə bağlı sizi təbrik edirəm. Oyunlardan əvvəl hansısa rituallarınız olur?
– Hər oyundan əvvəl dua edirik ki, qələbə qazanaq. Ancaq artıq avrokuboklar üçün şansımız qalmayıb. İndi gözəl oyuna ümid edirik. Lakin hakimlərin də bəzi qərarları təsir edir. Mətbuatda da tez-tez hakim səhvləri ilə bağlı müzakirələr çıxır. “Araz-Naxçıvan”, “Neftçi” ilə matçlarda penalti olmaya-olmaya 11 metrlik zərbə təyin ediblər. Qərarların nəticəyə təsiri var.

– “İmişli” ilə aranızda fərq artıq 6-ya düşüb. Komandanın aşağı liqaya düşmə təhlükəsi olduğunu düşünürsünüz?
– Düşünmürəm. Düzdür, futbolda hər şey olur. Amma sonuncu sıra ilə aramızda fərq çoxdur.

Leaders Inter must do without Lautaro Martinez, so Francesco Pio Esposito partners Marcus Thuram, as Como rely on Nico Paz and Martin Baturina.

It kicks off at the Stadio Sinigaglia at 19.45 UK time (20.45 CEST).

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games on the Liveblog.

These teams already met here on March 3 in the Coppa Italia semi-final, the 0-0 draw leaving it all open for the second leg at San Siro on April 21.

Meanwhile, this is a crucial game for the top spots, as Como need a victory to keep hold of fourth after Juventus won last night, while leaders Inter have the chance to go nine points clear of Napoli.

Lautaro Martinez had just made his comeback from six weeks out when he suffered another injury setback and will be on the sidelines for a while longer.

Yann Bisseck is also still struggling with a muscular issue, so Pio Esposito steps in to partner Thuram, with Francesco Acerbi in the back three.

Alessandro Bastoni was jeered mercilessly here last time and it remains to be seen how he will be greeted by opposition fans for the first time since the World Cup play-off.

Como had won five Serie A games on the bounce to surge into fourth place, but the 0-0 draw with Udinese stalled their progress.

With Juventus already winning last night against Atalanta, it means anything less than a victory will drop Cesc Fabregas and his team down to fifth.

The good news is that both Jacobo Ramon and Jesus Rodriguez have shaken off injuries, leaving only long-term absentee Jayden Addai on the absentee list.

Fabregas usually prefers using Nico Paz as a False 9 in the big games, with support from Martin Baturina and Assane Diao.

Instead, he goes all attack tonight with Tasos Douvikas and a trio behind him, leaving out Lucas Da Cunha.

Sergi Roberto and former Manchester City midfielder Maximo Perrone pull the midfield strings.

Como vs. Inter line-ups

Como: Butez; Van der Brempt, Kempf, Diego Carlos, Valle; Sergi Roberto, Perrone; Diao, Nico Paz, Baturina; Douvikas

Inter: Sommer; Akanji, Acerbi, Bastoni; Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco; Thuram, Esposito

Scott McTominay insists ‘nothing’s finished’ for the Scudetto race and at the same time Napoli are ‘not going to cry about’ their injury crisis or think of what could’ve been.

The Partenopei were held to a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Tardini today, conceding a goal scored by Parma after just 33 seconds with Gabriel Strefezza, until the Scotland international’s equaliser.

It means the gap at the top of the table is right now six points, although Inter could expand it to nine if they beat Como this evening.

McTominay has faith in Napoli title

“Obviously, we know nothing’s ever finished and it’s important to keep going,” McTominay told DAZN Italia when asked if the Scudetto dream was over.

“Today was a very difficult game, we had chances with Elmas and Hojlund as well. This is football, you’re going to get results you don’t like and this is one of them.

“We’ve got to play the next six games at a high level and try to get maximum points.”

It was a nightmare start for Napoli, who conceded the opener after just 33 seconds when a long ball was flicked on for Strefezza’s angled drive.

“These games are difficult, it’s not easy if we gift them a goal at the beginning, but that’s football. The crowd is emotional, the atmosphere is intense, but I thought we had matched their spirit and intensity, we just had to find a way to break them down and score a goal.

“We have to look back at the video and take accountability, because these are games where you have to show up and you have to win.”

McTominay went viral in Italy a few months ago when he listed all the big players who were out injured, so does he ever think about what might’ve been this season with a full Napoli squad at their disposal?

“Interviews after a game can be emotional, you say things that are true, and it is true we’ve had a lot of injuries, a lot of games where we had players missing. This is the key, with all those competitions, you need players available, which we didn’t really have,” added McTominay.

“It was nobody’s fault, it was just a fact, and we have to accept this and those who are there strive to do more. Eljif Elmas did so well, he didn’t play much at the start and then stepped in, everyone has to be ready to work.

“We’re not going to cry about it, we’re not getting upset at the way the season has gone, we have to continue as men and see what happens at the end of the season.”

Regis Le Bris says he and his Sunderland side felt as though Spurs were not strong enough to beat them during the game, and hailed his players for finding the all important winning goal.

Nordi Mukiele’s deflected strike gave Sunderland victory over their relegation threatened opponents.

Asked if he was concerned in the first half with the score level, Le Bris said: “A bit at the beginning of the game, but most because we lost the ball in the build-up, lack of composure at the beginning. 

“During the half-time, we agreed that it was about us. If we were disciplined and consistent, composed, we would have the opportunity to win this game. The opponent wasn’t strong enough to beat us, so I wasn’t too worried. 

“But football is football. It’s still unpredictable. If you don’t score the second goal, something can happen in the last minutes. That sense of composure has developed over the season.

“We had two or three main objectives today and the first one was to be adaptive, because it was hard to anticipate their patterns, their shape.

“ut being proactive defensively and if it was possible to generate momentum early with the ball, I think it was key for this game.

“Probably the first 15 minutes were a bit sloppy. We lost three, four, five balls without pressure, but after that I think we were good.”

Man City have banged in two goals early in the second half to make a result in this game a tall order for Chelsea.

Chelsea competed well in the first half of this game against Man City, but just after half time there’s been a predictable collapse from Liam Rosenior’s team. The visitors came out with far more energy, while Chesea were unable to go up a gear.

Rayan Cherki was at the heart of the first, putting in a nice cross for Nico O’Reilly, who brushed off Andrey Santos and headed home.

It was just too easy in the end – a lot of good first half work was undone in that moment. And you just knew that this fragile Blues team were more likely to concede another than score themselves.

You can see the goal in the clips embedded here:

Cherki at the heart of City’s second goal

Before long, City had another. Cherki was at the heart of it again, darting around the edge of the box and hitting an outside of the foot pass between the lines to Marc Guehi. The Chelsea academy product took a superb touch and lashed in the finish to make it 2-0.

Anyone who has watched Chelsea this season will have known it was game over at that point. The third followed soon after.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Zach Eflin is looking forward to 2027, less than a week after Tommy John surgery on his 32nd birthday.

He left his March 31 season debut after striking out seven and allowing one run in 3 2/3 innings against Texas. He had elbow reconstruction surgery Wednesday.

“I’m in a lot better spot than I was a week, a week and a half ago,” Eflin said Sunday. “I knew something happened on the field. Really felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I was going through so much this offseason to come back on time and I honestly never felt better in my career before.”

Eflin was 6-5 with a 5.93 ERA in 14 starts while making three trips to the injured list last season. Back trouble ending his season after a July 28 start.

Baltimore re-signed Eflin to a $10 million, one-year deal in December that includes a $25 million mutual option for 2027 with a $2 million buyout.

Baltimore hoped the 11-year veteran would be a steady rotation presence, and his 7 1/3 scoreless innings in two spring training starts offered promise.

“I had felt amazing for three games, and there in the fourth inning it took one pitch,” Eflin said. “It was an up-and-away heater or cutter and it just felt like a hamstring cramp in my elbow. Literally out of nowhere. I’d never felt anything in elbow before.”

Eflin, 68-67 with a 4.28 ERA in 201 big league appearances with Philadelphia, Tampa Bay and Baltimore, hopes to spend as much time as possible around the Orioles this summer as he works to recover and make it back to the majors next year.

“I think that’s why I got it done so early,” Eflin said. “I want to be back as quickly as possible. I’ve been through too much in my life to let this affect me and let this be the thing that brings me down. I’m going to absolutely crush rehab and be back better than ever.”

HOUSTON (AP) — Phil Garner, a three-time All-Star infielder who went on to manage the Houston Astros to their first World Series appearance, has died. He was 76.

Garner's family issued a statement Sunday saying Garner had died Saturday after a two-plus-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

“Phil never lost his signature spark of life,” Garner's son, Ty, said in a statement. “He was so well known for or his love for baseball, which was with him until the end.”

Nicknamed “Scrap Iron” for his blue-collar approach to the game, Garner had a 16-year playing career with the Oakland Athletics (1973-76), Pittsburgh Pirates (1977-81), Astros (1981-87), Los Angeles Dodgers (1987) and San Francisco Giants (1988).

He played 150 games and had an .800 OPS for Pittsburgh during the Pirates’ 1979 World Series championship season. He batted .417 in the NL Championship Series sweep of Cincinnati and hit .500 (12 for 24) in the World Series as the Pirates rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Baltimore.

Garner made All-Star teams with Oakland in 1976 and with Pittsburgh in 1980 and 1981.

“Phil Garner was a fierce competitor, a respected leader, and a cherished part of the Pirates family,” Pirates chairman Bob Nutting said in a statement. “His contributions to the 1979 World Series championship team will forever be part of Pirates history. We always appreciated welcoming Phil back to Pittsburgh, and it was evident how deeply this city, this team, his teammates, and our fans meant to him.

“He will be remembered not only for the grit, passion, and heart he brought to the game, but also for the way he carried himself as a devoted family man and respected member of the baseball community.”

Garner hit .260 with 109 homers, 738 RBIs and 225 steals in 1,860 regular-season games while being versatile enough to make over 700 starts at both second base and third base.

Garner managed in the majors for 15 years, compiling a 985-1,054 record with Milwaukee (1992-99), Detroit (2000-02) and Houston (2004-07). He held the Brewers record for managerial wins until Craig Counsell surpassed him in 2022.

“He was a very highly respected and beloved individual who was known for his caring nature, wisdom and sense of humor," the Brewers said in a statement.

Garner over the Astros midway through the 2004 season after the firing of Jimy Williams and led them to a 48-26 record the rest of the way. They finished 92-70, beat Atlanta in the NL Division Series wasted a 3-2 lead over St. Louis in the NL Championship Series.

Garner got the Astros to the World Series the following year. They went 89-73 and beat Atlanta in the NLDS and St. Louis in the NLCS before the Chicago White Sox swept them.

Garner was a Tennessee native who starred at the University of Tennessee, which retired his No. 18 in 2009

Former Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Phil Garner, who played 16 years in MLB and managed for another 15, died at age 76 on Saturday.

“Garner passed away peacefully last night, April 11, surrounded by family and love after a two-plus-year battle with pancreatic cancer,” his family said in a statement. “Phil never lost his signature spark of life he was so well known for or his love for baseball which was with him until the end. Special thanks to the Houston Medical Center, MD Anderson, Baylor St. Lukes and all the Doctors and Nurses for their excellent care and support.”

The Dodgers reached out on social media to express their condolences Sunday morning.

“The Dodgers mourn the passing of longtime MLB player and manager as well as former Dodger infielder Phil Garner,” the Dodgers wrote via X. “Our condolences to his loved ones.”

Throughout his long MLB career, Garner hit 109 home runs and drove in 738 RBIs while posting league average numbers with the bat all the while. He made three All-Star Games in his career, and also won the World Series with the Oakland Athletics in 1974—the third championship of their three-peat.

He went to the World Series with the Houston Astros in 2005, leading them to their first appearance in the Fall Classic while they were still in the National League.

When did Phil Garner Play for the Dodgers?

The Dodgers acquired Garner in June 1987 in exchange for Jeff Edwards, who spent the entirety of his playing career in the minor leagues.

Garner, who was 38 years old at the time, only played the rest of the season in a Dodgers uniform and made 70 appearances. Through those games, he had two homers and eight RBIs, slashing .190/.299/.270 for a .569 OPS.

On top of the Dodgers, A’s and Astros, Garner played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants in his career. As a manager, he served the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers and Astros.

“Every young kid, you come up and you need somebody to look up to and Phil was that guy for me,” said second baseman Bill Doran, a teammate in Houston who later played under Garner in Milwaukee. “His personality, he could come in and light up the clubhouse. How he treated people, just the kind of teammate he was, I really looked up to Gar.”

Dodgers Nation sends their thoughts to Garner’s loved ones.

The inaugural UHSAA ESports state champs were crowned on Saturday at Weber State.

Competing in independent events in Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. and Rocket League, Farmington (6A), Pleasant Grove (5A), Provo (4A) and American Leadership (3A-1A) won their respective state championships.

Team points were awarded in all three games based on finish (similar to track, swimming, etc.), with cumulative points acquired being used for the team titles.

The UHSAA hopes to expand beyond those three ESports in 2027.

Schools competed in a regular season over the past two months, and then were seeded into single-elimination brackets. First round, quarterfinal and semifinal rounds were played online, with the championship and third-place matches being played in person at Weber State.

In 6A, Farmington narrowly edged runner-up Bingham by 10 points. The teams went head-to-head in the Rocket League final, with top-seed Bingham winning comfortably 4-0. It won all four matches in the playoffs 4-0.

In 5A, Pleasant Grove had the title locked up after the semifinals, as it finished with 200 team points. Brighton secured a runner-up finish with 140 points, as its third-place finish in Rocket League bumped it out of a possible three-way tie for second with Clearfield and Hillcrest.

In 4A, Provo won with 220 points, followed by Sky View with 190 points. The Bulldogs finished runner-up in Mario Kart and Rocket League, and third in Super Smash.

In the first competition of the day, which spanned 10 hours at Weber State, American Leadership won two of three events to win the team title with 280 points. Canyon View finished third with 200 points.

Roughly 80 teams across the state participated in the inaugural season of ESports. That number figures to grow with the likely addition of new games in 2027.

SELINSGROVE — Lake Dent and Isabella Furgison of Selinsgrove and Shikellamy's Jilly Deivert won two individual events — including each setting individual meet records — with Dent and Deivert leading relay teams to a title, highlighting a strong local showing at the Don Wilhoiur Selinsgrove Classic on Saturday.

On the boys' side, Shamokin's Ryan Bickert, Warrior Run's Ori Kennel and Shikellamy's Willie Bender all broke meet records.

Fifteen meet records fell in one of the first big local invitationals of the year.

Running on their home track, Selinsgrove's girls won seven individual events and closed with a win in the 4x400 relay. Winning for the Seals were Dent (800 and long jump), Furgison (shot and discus), Mikayla Martin (high hurdles), Gigi Veach (400) and Ashtyn Lukens (3,200). Veach, Dent, Kaia Hoke and Caitlyn O'Neill also won the 4x400.

Dent won the open 800 by more than four seconds, in 2:18.53. She then ran to the other end of the field to win the long jump with a meet record 16-feet, 9 3/4 inches. She edged Wyalusing freshman Jenna Morningstar by two inches to win, breaking Alexis Aumen's record from 2015 by more than an inch.

Furgison dominated in throws, especially in the discus. The PIAA medalist hit 48-7 3/4 in the shot put, just missing 50 feet. The Seal junior was the only thrower to break 40 feet — runner-up Alexis McRoberts of Canton was second at 39-5 1/2.

Furgison's big throw broke the meet record (45-11 1/4) held by former Seal state champion Courtney McCartney since 2014. Furgison also won the discus by more than two feet.

Deivert blitzed the field in the 100 — in a meet record 12.10 seconds — and won the 200 by more than a half-second as well. She also teamed up with Lily Persing, Rylie Pekera and Sierra Taylor to win in 50.00 seconds.

Shikellamy's other title game from Sarah Bronowicz in the pole vault, who easily cleared 10-feet, 6-inches.

Danville, Lewisburg and Milton each had individual winners. Danville's Janie Cotner won the mile, Milton's Sienna Short won the javelin by three inches, while Lewisburg's Lydia Delsite led a 1-6 local sweep of medalists in the triple jump.

Deslite won with a leap of 36-5 1/2, edging Milton's Elizabeth Schrock by a few inches. Delsite and Schrock both topped the previous meet record held by Bloomsburg state champion Britni Phillips.

In a loaded field filled with state medalists in the boys' javelin, Bender hit a throw of 207 feet, 3 inches to win an event featuring four throwers topping at least 180 feet. Bender's mark snapped the meet record set in 2024.

Shikellamy had four wins as a team, three in the field. Aaron Bucher was a foot higher than any other competitor in the pole vault, Hunter Bordner won the triple jump. The Braves' lone win on the track came from Maddox Hoover in the high hurdles.

The junior won in 15.12 seconds, one-hundredth ahead of Hughesville's Kaviko Faulkner, who was second at 15.13 seconds.

Warrior Run's Ori Kennel won the 400 by more than a quarter second, snapping the meet record to win in 49.50.

Bickert broke the meet record in a fast final heat in the 100. Bickert won in 10.75 seconds — snapping his own meet record of 10.81 set last year — while Spencer Stine of Hughesville and Loyalsock's Danny Dowell both break 11 seconds.

Murray, who also broke 11 seconds in a fourth-place finish in the 100, won the long jump, while teammate Chace Aikey won the discus.

The Indiana Fever are putting the band back together for a run at the 2026 WNBA title.

Now, they just have to hope everybody stays healthy.

On Sunday, April 12, the Fever announced they agreed to a one-year contract with guard Sophie Cunningham. She joins fellow free-agent guards Kelsey Mitchell and Lexie Hull, both of whom elected to return to Indiana.

MORE: Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull announce major Indiana Fever WNBA Free Agency news

Fever stars Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston are under contract and will return as well.

ESPN WNBA reporter Alexa Philippou reported the Cunningham news on X. Terms of the deal were not released.

The Fever finished 24-20 in 2025 and advanced to the WNBA semifinals. They fell in overtime in a decisive Game 5 to the eventual WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces.

Indiana suffered injuries throughout the season. Clark played just 13 games due to several injuries. To make matters worse, Cunningham, Sydney Colson, Aari McDonald, Chloe Bibby and Damiris Dantas also incurred season-ending injuries. Mitchell left Game 5 of the semifinal series with a serious muscle condition.

Cunningham averaged 8.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 30 games. Additionally, she knocked down 43.2 percent of her 3-point attempts.

“We had a really special group last year. … We fought through a ton of adversity, and it was important to me that we have a chance to see through what we started,” Cunningham said in a release from the Fever. “I have a feeling this is going to be another special season, so I’m excited to get things started and to, of course, keep playing in front of the best fans in the WNBA.

“Let’s get spicy!”

Cunningham, 29, spent the first six years of her career with the Phoenix Mercury. She became known as Clark’s protector and an enforcer during her first campaign with the Fever. During a game against the Connecticut Sun, Cunningham delivered a hard foul on Sun guard Jacy Sheldon, leading to an altercation.

The Fever added free agents in guards Monique Billings and Ty Harris.

Finally, Indiana opens its WNBA schedule on May 9 with a game against Paige Bueckers and the Dallas Wings.

Marlins 'paying the price' for trade with Yankees involving 2.81 ERA lefty pitcher originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The Miami Marlins swung a big trade this offseason with the Chicago Cubs and another with the New York Yankees, involving two of their starting pitchers.

While Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez stayed in Miami, Edward Cabrera was sent to Chicago, landing a package headlined by Owen Caissie. The other deal with the Yankees, however, hasn't looked as good as that Cubs deal.

As Zachary Rotman of Fansided.com noted, the Marlins trade of Ryan Weathers to the Yankees is a move they regret, and are "paying the price" for amid Weather's 2.81 ERA start to 2026.

Marlins 'paying the price' for Ryan Weathers trade

"I understood the idea of trading Weathers, a pitcher who hadn't quite put it all together at the big league level and had dealt with some injuries, but a Marlins team on the rise, trading him for only prospects, didn't make much sense, and they're paying the price for that, at least right now," Rotman writes.

The Marlins dealt Weathers to the Yankees for four prospects: Dylan Jasson, Brendan Jones, Dillon Lewis, and Juan Matheus.

All of those prospects are still in the minor leagues and have yet to help the Marlins as Caissie has for Miami from their Cabrera trade with the Cubs.

In three starts and 16 innings for the Yankees, Weathers has a 2.81 ERA with 18 strikeouts and a 146 ERA+.

With the Marlins on the rise, having someone like Weathers as part of the rotation would've been a nice plus.

Instead, they have four prospects who've yet to make the Majors, and starts like Chris Paddack and Janson Junk pitching to mediocre at-best starts to the year.

This move is one that the Marlins might regret right now, but it would not be a surprise if things turned around if one or multiple of these prospects made the Majors in the future.

Rutgers women’s basketball continues to roll in the transfer portal as they have landed twins Mia and Mya Pauldo from Tennessee, according to their social media pages. Together they are known as “The Twin Backcourt” and are the Scarlet Knights’ second and third commit of the transfer portal, joining Jaylah Lampley who announced her commitment to Rutgers earlier today.

Both Mia and Mya, who both stand at 5-foot-6, played in 27 games during their freshman season at Tennessee. During that time, Mia, who averaged just over 23 minutes per game, finished the season third on the team with 10.4 points per game while shooting 35.6 percent on all shots. She also picked up an average of 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. Mia earned SEC and National Freshman of the Week twice during the season, and was named to the SEC All-Freshman team.

Mya, on the other hand, averaged 1.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 9.9 minutes per game.

Their commitment is a homecoming for both of them as the duo are New Jersey natives who played their high school ball at Morris Catholic in Denville. Both were rated as four stars in their recruitment class by On3 and 247sports, while Mia was rated a five star by ESPN. Mia also earned McDonald’s All-American status during her senior season, where she averaged 19.5 points, 5.2 assists, 3.3 rebounds per game that year. Mya posted 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game during their senior season as well.

They both come to Rutgers with three years of eligibility remaining.

According to Brian Fonseca NJ.com, Rutgers bundled a significant NIL package to land the duo, with the combined package landing in the mid-six figures. Mia and Mya are considered pioneers in the world of NIL, as they were the youngest basketball players ever to sign an NIL deal with Puma in September 2022 at just 15 years old.

The Philadelphia Phillies announced Sunday that starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is scheduled to make a rehab start with the Reading Fightin Phils on Tuesday at the Somerset Patriots.

The 35-year-old Wheeler began the season on the 15-day injured list as he continued to recover from surgery to heal a right upper extremity blood clot. He was initially placed on the injured Aug. 17 of last season and missed the remainder of the year.

Wheeler, a three-time All-Star, has made three rehab appearances with Lehigh Valley (AAA) so far in 2026.

Over those three starts, Wheeler is 0-1, with a 5.23 ERA (6 ER, 10.1 IP), along with 10 strikeouts.

In his most recent start on April 8 against Rochester, Wheeler struck out six over 4.1 innings of work, while allowing one run on three hits.

The Phillies originally signed Wheeler prior to the 2020 season and he has grown into one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball. Wheeler finished second in National League Cy Young voting in both 2021 and ’24. Prior to being placed on the injured list last season, Wheeler went 10-5, with a 2.71 ERA across 24 starts. Wheeler has posted an ERA under 3.00 in five-of-six seasons with the Phillies.

Wheeler has also be a dominant arm at the front-end of the Phillies’ rotation in the postseason. Over 12 postseason appearances, Wheeler is 4-3, with a 2.18 ERA.

Prior to joining the Phillies in 2020, Wheeler began his career with the New York Mets, pitching for them from 2013-19, but did not appear in any big leagues games during the 2015 and ’16 seasons. Wheeler was originally selected by the New York Mets in the first round (sixth overall) of the 2009 draft by the San Francisco Giants out of East Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia. Wheeler was traded to the Mets in July of 2011 in exchange for outfielder Carlos Beltran.

Wheeler was also selected as an Eastern League All-Star during the 2012 season, when he played for the Binghamton Mets, and that game was held at FirstEnergy Stadium.

The Fightin Phils begin this week’s six-game series at the Somerset Patriots, Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, on Tuesday at 6:35 p.m.

The Golden State Warriors play their final game of the NBA regular season on Sunday evening.

They'll be on the road at the Los Angeles Clippers as basketball fans begin to look toward the play-in tournament and the playoffs.

The Clippers can still seize the eighth-seed with a win and some help.

For the Warriors, though, the game isn't much of anything.

Does the Warriors' game matter today?

For Golden State, Sunday's game doesn't matter.

No matter what happens, they'll be locked into the 10-seed in the Western Conference. That's the final play-in spot.

The 10-seed travels to the 9-seed for an opening play-in game. If the 10 wins there, they have to play the loser of the 7-8 play-in game, and have to win again -- and that's just for the right to play top-seed Oklahoma City in the first round of the actual playoffs.

The most intriguing part of Sunday's game is that, if the Clippers don't get the help they need, they'll be the 9-seed. Which means that Golden State will play in this same arena in the play-in round this week as the Clippers would host the Warriors in the 9-10 game.

That'd certainly make for compelling TV, if the Warriors can somehow get a little healthier.

Even if not, it'd be a couple of well-known teams in a spotlight that they'd probably prefer was the actual playoffs as opposed to the play-in.

Former Israeli judoka Peter Paltchik opens up about the lowest points of his career, his Olympic journey, and how mental strength shaped his path to success, ahead of the Jerusalem Marathon.

Former Israeli judoka and two-time Olympic medalist Peter Paltchik said the lowest point of his career came after a complicated surgery, when he felt his professional life had collapsed and he was forced to make what he described as a fateful decision about his future.

Paltchik made the remarks in a special interview with Toto CEO Meir Bardugo ahead of the 15th International Winner Jerusalem Marathon, which is scheduled for Friday, April 17. The race was postponed from its original March 27 date, and about 40,000 participants are expected.

Reflecting on the setback, Paltchik said the defining moments in an athlete’s career are often the hardest ones rather than the victories.

He said that experience reshaped his understanding of what it means to be a winner. In his telling, success is tied less to constant victory and more to the refusal to quit after failure, injury, and disappointment.

Paltchik also returned to the disappointment of the Tokyo Olympics, where he entered the individual competition with high expectations but fell short.

He said he did not meet even his own standards, yet managed to recover quickly enough to help Israel win a team bronze within less than 48 hours. Paltchik later added an individual bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, giving him two Olympic medals overall.

According to Paltchik, resilience in those moments depends heavily on the people around an athlete. He credited his wife, his family, and his coach, Oren Smadja, with helping him keep going during the most difficult stretches of his career.

Discipline begins far from the mat

He also said discipline begins far from the mat and is built through daily habits, adding that even after retiring from competition in November 2025, he still feels he is competing with himself.

Ahead of what he said will be his first appearance in the Jerusalem Winner Marathon, Paltchik spoke about his connection to the capital, calling Jerusalem the beating heart of the State of Israel.

He said that before major competitions, he would often visit the Kotel (Western Wall), whose atmosphere served as a personal source of strength. For runners preparing to stand at the starting line on Friday, he offered a simple message: the hard moments will come, but mental strength and the right mindset can carry a person further than they think.

The Chicago Bears are in the middle of another important offseason, where they're looking to shore up the roster and remain contenders in Ben Johnson's second season as head coach as the 2026 NFL Draft approaches.

The Bears didn't make any big splashes in free agency, where their biggest move was signing Super Bowl champion Coby Bryant to fill one of two starting safety vacancies left by the departing Kevin Byard and Jaquan Brisker. Chicago also added linebacker Devin Bush, defensive tackle Neville Gallimore and wide receiver Kalif Raymond. But the Bears also suffered some big losses, including wide receiver DJ Moore, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, Byard and Brisker, as well as center Drew Dalman, who shockingly retired.

Chicago has seven draft picks that includes four selections in the top 89, including a pair of second rounders, where they can address some of their biggest needs, including defensive line, safety and offensive tackle.

Here at Bears Wire, we're going position by position to break down where Chicago stands entering the 2026 NFL Draft. Up next is wide receiver, a group that looks a bit different following a significant trade, but has young playmakers ready to break out with Caleb Williams throwing them the ball.

Who's on the roster?

• Rome Odunze
• Luther Burden
• Kalif Raymond
• Jahdae Walker
• JP Richardson
• Maurice Alexander

Rome Odunze was projected to take a massive leap in his development last year entering his second season and was on his way to doing so over the first couple of months. After four games, Odunze had 296 receiving yards and five touchdowns as Williams' go-to target. A Pro Bowl season appeared to be on the horizon before a nagging foot injury limited his effectiveness before sidelining him for the final five games. Odunze wound up with 661 yards and six touchdowns and has some things to clean up when it comes to drops as well, as he will be looking to bounce back going into Year 3.

Luther Burden was able to take advantage of Odunze's absence late in the season. The second-round rookie out of Mizzou had a slow start but came on strong as a dangerous weapon for Williams. Burden made defenders look silly by juking them out of their cleats while also burning them deep on multiple occasions. Despite seeing limited targets early on, Burden finished the year with 652 yards and two scores and will be a popular breakout candidate for 2026.

The Bears needed a new versatile receiver and signed Kalif Raymond in the offseason away from the Detroit Lions. Raymond has experience as a return specialist but also knows Johnson's offense from their days with the Lions. He is sure to play a pivotal role as a WR3/4 this upcoming season, along with Jahdae Walker. The former undrafted free agent shined enough in the preseason to stick on the roster and got his big break late in the year when he caught the game-tying touchdown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.

Who departed this offseason?

• DJ Moore
• Olamide Zaccheaus
• Devin Duvernay

The biggest departure of the offseason of any player has been DJ Moore, who was traded to the Buffalo Bills along with a fifth-round pick in exchange for a second-round pick. Moore spent the last three years as Chicago's top receiver but wasn't living up to the massive extension he signed back in 2024 after totaling 50 receptions for 682 yards. With the presence of Odunze and the emergence of Burden, Moore became expendable, though he is forever etched in Bears lore thanks to his multiple big touchdowns against the Packers.

The Bears also lost Olamide Zaccheaus and Devin Duvernay, who departed as free agents and signed with the Atlanta Falcons and the Arizona Cardinals, respectively. Zaccheaus was a steady veteran presence for Williams and the offense, while Duvernay served as the primary punt and kick return specialist.

Positional need: Moderate

The receiver room has plenty of upside with Odunze and Burden leading the way, and with Colston Loveland producing at tight end, the Bears don't necessarily need another top-end threat at the position. Those three players alone should account for the majority of targets in the passing game. They did lose one of their most productive pass catchers, however, and while Raymond should provide a spark, they could stand to add another player to the room to develop. It's never a bad idea to take swings at a position like wide receiver, something that was validated last year with the selection of Burden in the second round.

Top draft prospects

• Carnell Tate, Ohio State
• Makai Lemon, USC
• Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State
• KC Concepcion, Texas A&M
• Denzel Boston, Washington

Anything can happen in the NFL draft, but don't expect the Bears to use their first-round pick on a receiver. Players such as Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson will likely be long gone by the time Chicago is on the clock. Don't rule out a selection on Day 2 or Day 3, though. Prospects such as Georgia's Zachariah Branch, Oregon's Malik Benson, or Ole Miss' De'Zhaun Stribling all can stretch the field and provide the Bears with a home-run threat to work behind Odunze and Burden.ide the Bears with a home-run threat to work behind Odunze and Burden.

Tennessee reportedly in recruiting battle with Kansas for coveted transfer guard averaging 15 PPG originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The Tennessee Volunteers men's basketball are expected to be active in the transfer portal, with several potential additions on the horizon. A major reason for that is the increased NIL resources available, giving head coach Rick Barnes the most financial flexibility he has had during his tenure on Rocky Top.

“Tennessee basketball is on track to be among the elite in NIL spending next season. On3’s Pete Nakos on Thursday reported the Vols are one of a handful of teams set to spend $10 million or more in NIL for its roster next season,” VolQuest’s Grant Ramey wrote.

The Vols have already landed two key commitments from Dai Dai Ames and Miles Rubin. Their next target, Terrence Hill Jr., is expected to visit Rocky Top later this week after entering the portal from VCU Rams men's basketball.

“VCU transfer guard Terrence Hill Jr. has set a visit with Tennessee, his agent tells William Patterson. The six-foot-three, 180 pound guard averaged 15 points a game on 46.6% shooting from the field this season. Hill’s agent added that a specific date has not been confirmed, but the two sides are working towards locking one in. The Portland, Oregon native scored 34 points in the Rams’ upset win over North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament,” Fox Sports Knoxville posted.

That is encouraging news for Tennessee. However, it appears a Big 12 program will get the first opportunity to host Hill Jr., as Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball are set to welcome him for a visit Monday.

“VCU transfer Terrence Hill Jr. will visit both Kansas and Tennessee this week, source tells 247Sports. Hill will visit Kansas on Monday and Tennessee on Wednesday,” 247 Sports’ Dushawn London wrote.

Barnes and his staff understand that with increased NIL funding comes increased competition for top targets. Landing Hill Jr. would be a major addition for the Vols, giving them another scoring guard in the backcourt.

The VCU transfer has two years of eligibility remaining and is ranked as the No. 17 player in the portal, according to 247Sports. It will be interesting to see whether he prioritizes fit or financial opportunity in his decision.

As Cameron Young heads into the final round of the Masters tied for the lead, he will be supported by his wife Kelsey, their three young children, and his parents, David and Barbara.

“I think all the time about how much my parents put into what I do, how much my dad still is involved. I think back about my dad working very long hours. He’s a golf pro in New York, and it’s a demanding job. He basically worked sun up to sun down all year round. And it just reminds me of the example he set for me of what that looks like,” Cameron told Town & Countrybefore the Masters.

He added, “I’m fortunate that [during] my weeks off, I can be home more. I can make my own schedule. I don’t go out there and practice for 12 hours a day. I might be gone for the morning or for the afternoon, but it’s one of the things I’m really grateful for. [My dad] worked very hard, but as a kid, I went to the golf course to see him. He wasn’t home a ton, just due to the nature of his job. And it makes me really grateful for that now because I know how much he would’ve loved to be home and be free more, but that just wasn’t in the cards for him. So it makes me realize how fortunate I am to do what I do, and to be able to have some of the flexibility and freedom that our job does give us.”

Now, Cameron and his family live in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida just a fifteen minute drive from his parents, who retired in Jupiter, Florida. “He’s a dad first and a golfer second,” David said of Cameron, “and that’s made him focus doing his job efficiently so he can be the dad he wants to be.” Here’s what to know about Cameron Young’s parents David and Barbara:

His dad, David Young

David is a PGA of America Professional who retired in fall 2022 after a 21 years as the head professional of Sleepy Hollow Country Club. “It's because of the PGA that he has had the job he had for the last many years,” Cameron said. “Without that at Sleepy Hollow, I don’t start playing at four years old or earlier. I don’t have the access that I did growing up. I started playing in PGA junior events when I was nine, eight, something like that."

In 2010, David and Barbara brought Cam to Scotland to golf. It rained for four days, and David later recalled, “I’m thinking, after this trip, this kid is never going to want to play golf again. It did just the opposite. It got him excited about it. He decided golf was going to be his main sport, and he started working hard at it.”

David works as his son’s swing coach, and he caddied for Cameron in the first two rounds of the 2019 U.S. Open, Cameron’s first major championship appearance.

“If he plays well, there is not much to talk about. If he plays okay, we may chat about a few things. If he does not play how he wants to- that’s when I just let him vent for a while,” David said of their coaching dynamic. “It’s a really, really easy relationship for us. It’s not real tricky. First and foremost, he’s my son, and most of the time is spent in that relationship. Every once in a while, we’ll do a little work if he needs to. And mostly it’s him tinkering, finding something that he thinks works, just making sure it makes sense, and looks OK, and makes sense from a mechanics standpoint.”

David added, “As a Dad, I’m just really happy for him and his family and to accomplish some of his big career goals. As a coach you get some satisfaction that you helped a little bit—or at least didn’t hurt. It was great on all levels. As a family, as a coach, it’s just all dreams coming true and it’s hard to put into words what it means or feels like, but we feel very fortunate.”

His mom, Barbara Young

Like her husband and son, Barbara is an avid golfer. She briefly played professionally, then ran a women’s mini-tour for 13 years. She caddied for her sister, Marjorie, a professional golfer; her husband, David; and her son, Cam. Barbara was on the bag for his win at the 2015 Ike Championship, several U.S. Amateur Championships, and the practice rounds of the 2019 U.S. Open. According to PGA.com, “Cameron’s mom Barbara also has played a huge role [in his career], assuming many titles beyond just ‘Mom’ including caddie, nutritionist, chauffeur and many more as she helped her son achieve his dreams.”

Barbara said of her son, “There have been a lot of life changes in about five years when you go from not having a tour card to all of a sudden getting your card and getting married and having three children. It’s quite remarkable to me that he’s been able to play at this level knowing everything he has on his plate, but he and Kelsey really seem to have a good handle on it, and they’re managing it well. It’s really great to see him playing like this right now, and to see what a great dad and husband he is, too. The fans don’t know that because he’s so quiet, but he's a remarkable dad and husband, and we’re real proud of him for that.”

As the 2025-26 NHL regular season and the Eastern Conference playoff push winds down, there are teams that have seized the moment and strung wins together like the Penguins, Flyers and Senators, and there are teams that have spiraled out of previously promising positions to leave an empty feeling like the Red Wings and Islanders.

The Red Wings were officially eliminated last night, coughing up multiple leads against the Devils in front of a quiet home crowd that turned into a minutes-long chorus of boos as Detroit officially reached a decade without a playoff appearance. Will the Islanders earn such a reaction? It probably depends on their effort over the next two games, but they’ve done themselves no favors.

Columbus (92 pts.) is still in the picture, interrupting their tailspin with a win over the Canadiens last night. The Flyers (94 pts.) put pressure on everyone by convincingly destroying the Jets in Winnipeg. The Islanders (91 pts.) and Capitals (91 pts.) still have outside chances, but only if everything goes right for them and everything wrong for Philadelphia and Columbus.

The Isles’ foe tonight is the Canadiens, who were beaten by the Blue Jackets at home last night but still have a chance to secure home ice advantage or even a division-winning seed.

First Islanders Goal picks go here.

With a better showing over the final two games, the Islanders can avoid some of those condemnations — and they’re in year 1 of a new regime, with a new coach, so it’s not the same as what’s happening in Detroit.

Is LeBron James playing tonight against Jazz? Game status for Lakers star originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

The Los Angeles Lakers will close out the regular season at home against the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. 

It will be the fourth meeting between the teams on the season. The Lakers won all three previous matchups. 

LeBron James listed as 'questionable' to play vs. Jazz due to left foot injury management 

When it comes to LeBron James' status for the season finale, we'll have to wait and see. 

James is currently listed as "questionable" on the official injury report for the contest due to left foot injury management. His final status will be determined prior to tipoff. 

On the season, James has appeared in 59 games for L.A. and averaged 21.0 points, 7.2 assists, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals per performance. The Lakers have to hope that James will be available, as they still have something to play for against the Jazz.

If the Lakers beat Utah and the Denver Nuggets lose to the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers will pass Denver in the standings and secure the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference. Otherwise, they'll remain in the fourth seed.

The Brooklyn Nets are nearing the end of their 2025-26 NBA regular season as they have their regular season-finale on Sunday at the Toronto Raptors before heading back home for exit interviews. Brooklyn has been focused on evaluating the end of the roster as much as possible as this season comes to a close, but the Nets still need to keep those players available.

The Nets announced on Sunday that they signed forward Trevon Scott to a contract ahead of their season finale at the Raptors on Sunday. Brian Lewis of the New York Post added that a source told him that Scott was being signed to a hardship deal that only covers Sunday's game in Toronto which could explain why Brooklyn's press release didn't specify if Scott's deal was of the multi-year variety.

Scott, 29, signed his initial 10-day contract with the Nets on Apr. 2 and since then, he has been providing solid production as head coach Jordi Fernandez is looking to evaluate more players to end the season. In five games (three starts), Scott is averaging 8.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 38.1% from the field and 28.6% from behind the three-point line.

"It was fun. It was a fun experience being out there. I'm pretty familiar with some of the guys I was at the on the court with, credit of playing in Long Island," Scott said when asked after his Nets debut what it was like to take the floor with Brooklyn. "Me just hearing them give me confidence like just go out there and play your game. Be Tre Scott. I prepared for this moment, thank God for being here again."

Scott has started the past three games at center for the Nets and in his starts, he is averaging 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 35.3% from the floor and 27.3% from deep. Scott will most likely start at center again on Sunday and if he does, he'll have the chance to end his season on a strong note as he ends into this offseason.

The Nets announced they have signed F Trevon Scott. Scott signed his first 10-day contract on April 2nd and since then, he is averaging 8.0 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 1.8 APG, and 1.4 SPG while shooting 38.1% from the field and 28.6% from behind the three-point line.

For most teams, the 2026 NFL Draft is going to be all about adding talent, but some players could be on the move, too. The New Orleans Saints could be sellers. Their decisions in free agency and the salary cap maneuvering that preceded it could signal that departures are on the way -- either picking up where they left off in trade talks last season or reacting to new pickups in the draft. What if the best player available is, say, Miami Hurricanes right tackle Francis Mauigoa, who could start right away at right guard or push Talese Fuaga inside? What if another team misses out on a difference-maker at linebacker and makes an offer for Pete Werner the Saints can't refuse?

Some guys aren't realistic trade targets. Dealing Alvin Kamara before June 1 would cost more in extra dead money than the compensation another team could offer to make up for it. Chris Olave is deep in negotiations on a long-term deal and, even if his name came up in trade talks before, the Saints have shifted gears. But some players could be dealt. Here's a look at four potential trade candidates.

Right guard Cesar Ruiz

Ruiz was at the center of trade talks at last year's deadline but the Saints couldn't get a team to meet their asking price. Tellingly, they opted not to restructure their contract with Ruiz this offseason, choosing to keep his salary cap hits in both 2026 and 2027 at around $14.1 million. Trading Ruiz would only save $12,000 against this year's salary cap, but there wouldn't be any dead money left behind in 2027. The opportunity to move off his contract and get a player better suited to Kellen Moore's scheme at right guard could be worth it. The Saints have done a lot of work on guard prospects so don't be surprised if they draft one to at least develop behind Ruiz this summer.

Linebacker Pete Werner

What does the future have in store for Werner? If the Saints were comfortable leaning on him in the heart of the defense, they wouldn't have signed Kaden Elliss to take the baton from Demario Davis in free agency. Danny Stutsman split reps with Werner last year as a rookie and seems poised to take a larger role in Year 2. If the long-term vision is for Elliss and Stutsman to take the lion's share of snaps, maybe Werner gets moved.

Nose tackle Davon Godchaux

Godchaux didn't quite meet expectations after the Saints made him the first acquisition of Moore's tenure, and because they restructured his contract, more than $2.5 million will be left behind as dead money if they trade him. But $4.5 million could be saved by moving him. Godchaux's contract will void next offseason and he'll turn 32 later this year. Getting a younger, more productive nose tackle could be a good move. The Saints picked up Bryan Bresee's fifth-year option and signed John Ridgeway III to a two-year extension so they do have some guys to lean on.

Free safety Jordan Howden

Howden is entering the final year of his contract without having locked in a starting job, and the 23.7% of snaps he played on defense last season was the lowest of his career. His $3.7 million salary cap hit is a career-high, but just $81,682 would be left on the books if he is traded. The former fifth-round pick might be served well by a fresh start. One team to watch is the Chicago Bears, who have an open spot at safety next to Coby Bryant. Reuniting Howden with Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, the coach who drafted him, could turn his career around.

Tottenham Hotspur have tried to change things with three different managers this season, but the stench of relegation still clings to this team. In fact, they stink of it.

With six games left, it could prove too stubborn for Roberto De Zerbi to shift after another drab performance led to a deserved defeat in his first game in charge.

Tottenham are a weak team, mentally and physically. They do not look dangerous in attack, are lightweight in midfield and do not look likely to keep clean sheets. It is a poisonous mix.

They are a group that is low on confidence that has been playing badly for months. Two managers have tried and failed to change their direction of travel, but all the signs still point to playing Lincoln City next season. Spurs have won one game in their last 11 – a Champions League second leg against Atlético Madrid – losing eight.

There has been no new manager bounce, no magic wand has been waved and there was very little improvement in anything Spurs did against Sunderland.

Régis Le Bris’s side were sharper, stronger and more organised throughout. They looked like they wanted it more and that is the most damning takeaway for a team in Spurs’ predicament.

De Zerbi negotiated a deal that makes him one of the best-paid managers in the Premier League. The Italian will have to earn every penny if he is going to save Tottenham from the ignominy of the Championship next season.

After all the talk of the positive impact he has made on the training ground, despite all the dubious praise he has given to the players he inherited, this was a sharp and painful reminder of their limitations.

It was never going to be easy facing a Sunderland side who have caused far better sides than Spurs problems this season, but they should still have offered more than this.

Sunderland’s goal was extremely fortunate, as Nordi Mukiele’s shot took a massive deflection off Micky van de Ven, wrong-footing Antonin Kinksy and looping into the net. However, the way the Spurs defence allowed the right back to progress up the pitch and then cut inside off the wing to get a shot away was poor. And when things are going against you…

Nordi Mukiele's shot deflects off Micky van de Ven and ends up in the back of the net! 💥 pic.twitter.com/oPqTbBSFpS

— Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) April 12, 2026

De Zerbi has built his reputation on the attacking flair of the teams he has managed but there was little evidence of that in his first game.

The visitors looked compact and tight, largely playing on the counterattack, but they looked vulnerable at set-pieces and Sunderland were the more dangerous team throughout.

Except for one excellent move at the start of the game, which almost led to a goal for Lucas Bergvall, this was a largely functional attacking display that created a few half-chances and little more. Worryingly, they did not create a goal-scoring opportunity after falling behind until deep in stoppage time when Pedro Porro went close with a long-range strike.

As for Sunderland, they are incredibly good at what they do and they enter the final six games of the season chasing a European spot. What a remarkable season they are having. Le Bris should be on the shortlist for manager of the year and in Brian Brobbey, they have one of the most physically dominant centre-forwards in the league. Both Spurs centre-backs, Cristian Romero and Van de Ven were booked before half-time, going through the back of the former Ajax striker as he played with his back to goal. He is a bully in the best sense of the word.

When you are a team in freefall, like Spurs, you need little things to go your way. You need some luck, but even when they thought they had a penalty in the first half, referee Rob Jones was called over to his monitor to reverse the decision.

It was never a penalty. Kolo Muani was not even appealing for the spot kick, asking for a corner, as he knew there had been no contact with Luke O’Nien sliding in and Omar Alderete had got a foot on the ball first to take it away from the midfielder.

There were a couple of half-chances for Richarlison when Spurs found him in space and able to move into the area, but on both occasions, his shots were straight at goalkeeper Robin Roefs at goalkeeper Robin Roefs.

The Dutch goalkeeper also made a decent save to smother Dominic Solanke from close range, the ball diverting wide off his foot. The match stats showed Spurs had seven shots on target to Sunderland’s two, but that did not reflect the balance of play.

To suggest Spurs were the better side would be wrong. Sunderland dominated possession and territory and also had chances.

Mukiele had a free header at the far post from a corner but put it well wide before Granit Xhaka dragged a shot millimetres wide after a header had fallen to him on the edge of the box.

Antonín Kinský also made a really good save to stop Brobbey giving the home side the lead before half-time, dashing from his line to block his shot.

Sunderland won because they were the better team overall. It is something we have said about Spurs in defeat all season. De Zerbi has six games left to change the narrative.

Granit Xhaka’s post-match reaction

After four weeks of not being at home, it was so important to give the fans what they needed. We knew before the season that we can beat everyone if we stay like this with the hunger and desire and take the three points.

Before the season, nobody expected us to be where we are. When I signed it was 2% chance of us staying up and now it is over 100%. Give this football club respect. We stay humble and see what we can do until the end.

It’s not my job to speak about Spurs. I am not a Spurs player. I look after these boys and this football club. We look after ourselves.

De Zerbi’s unlucky break

Full time: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Spurs will stay in the bottom three after a meek defeat in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game as manager. They were unfortunate with Nordi Mukiele’s winning goal, which took a huge deflection, but on the balance of play Sunderland deserved their win.

It’s now 14 Premier League games without a win for Tottenham. De Zerbi has a huge job on in the next six weeks.

Full time: Palace 2 Newcastle 1

Newcastle have let another lead slip away.

90+8 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Sunderland substitution Wilson Isidor replaces Brian Brobbey.

90+7 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

That’s better - a sizzling hit from the edge of the area by Pedro Porro that is fingertipped over by Roefs. Good save.

90+6 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Lots of Spurs possession now, but it’s all a bit powder-puff. They’ve created very little in the second half, and the first was hardly an orgy of chances either.

90+5 min: Palace 2 Newcastle 1

Quite something to witness this Newcastle implosion. From near-dominance to multi-faceted defensive headloss. Horribly harsh to award a penalty against Botman for a shirt-pull on Lerma. Lerma went down like a delicate little flower but there have been several dozen more egregious shirt tugs in the game. Suppose that’s the letter of the law and Mateta, whose very presence has changed the game, thunders the penalty past Ramsdale.

It ends all square at the City Ground, where Murillo’s own goal was cancelled out by his team-mate Neco Williams.

90+2 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Porro’s free-kick from a tight angle on the left is fumbled onto the roof of the net by Roefs. That could easily have dropped into the goal.

There will be 11 minutes of added time.

Goal! Palace 2 Newcastle 1 (Mateta 90+4 pen)

If it stays like this, Spurs will have taken three points from the last 12 league games and only 13 from the last 23.

87 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Sunderland are the only team who look like scoring at the moment. A deflected cross rolls invitingly across the six-yard box, with Kinsky out of the game, but there are Sunderland players there and Udogie boots clear.

87 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Brobbey appeals unsuccessfully for a penalty after being leaned on by Danso in the area. He made the most of it. 

84 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

It’s a statement of the bleedin’ obvious but Spurs are crying out for the creativity of Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison. Both are out with long-term injuries.

The next best thing is Xavi Simons, who has just been brought on to replace Conor Gallagher. There will be at least eight minutes of added time by the way.

82 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Xhaka clips a beautiful ball over the top for Diarra. He tees up Rigg, whose fierce shot from 20 yards is superbly blocked by Van de Ven.

Sunderland bring on Chemsdine Talbi and Trai Hume for Rigg and the goalscorer Mukiele.

81 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Spurs aren’t really threatening an equaliser, with Sunderland having much of the ball in the final third.

76 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Fine defending from Udogie, who leans into Diarra to stop him reaching a low ball from the left. Without that intervention, Diarra would have been clean through.

Rigg is then booked for a foul, and moments later Solanke flicks a header straight at Roefs from Tel’s cross.

71 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Play resumes after a delay of almost eight minutes.

69 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Spurs substitution In fact, Cristian Romero is going off. He’s in tears as he leaves the field to be replaced by Kevin Danso. I think it’s an injury rather concussion.

66 min: Nottm Forest 1 Aston Villa 1

Morgan Rogers has just missed a glorious chance to restore Villa’s lead.

67 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Kinsky and Romero are still being treated. Both are sitting up and look okay; in fact Romero has just bounced to his feet. Kinsky is having his head bandaged, Terry Butcher-style.

65 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Kinsky has a cut to the head and Spurs have sent their third-choice keeper Brandon Austin out to warm up just in case.

64 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Another chance for Richarlison but another timid finish from the Brazilian who passes the ball, with the side of his foot, straight at Roefs. Within minutes, Sunderland are in front. Spurs had been trying to keep things compact and tight but fell behind via a massive deflection off Micky van de Ven. That was unlucky, but the way the Spurs defence allowed Mukiele to come inside off the wing and drive to the edge of the box was poor.

63 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Kinsky and Romero are down after a really nasty collision. Romero was trying to usher a long ball through to the keeper, with Brobbey right behind him. Brobbey gave Romero a little shove, I think, and Spurs are unhappy about that - especially as Brobbey has already been booked. Either way, there has been no sanction from the referee.

62 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0

Triple substitution Joao Palhinha, Mathys Tel and Pape Sarr come on for Bergvall, Richarlison and Gray. Roberto De Zerbi had planned that substitution before the goal.

Goal!

61 min: Sunderland 1 Spurs 0 (Mukiele) Nordi Mukiele adds to Spurs’ woes with a freak goal! He ran infield from right-back, kept going and hit a left-foot shot from the edge of the D that took a huge deflection off Van de Ven and wrongfooted Kinsky.

It may eventually go down as a Van de Ven own goal because I’m not sure Mukiele’s shot was on target.

60 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Richarlison’s sidefooted shot through the legs of a defender is a bit telegraphed and saved comfortably by Roefs. Hasn’t been the best second half so far.

59 min: Palace 0 Newcastle 1

Newcastle have been in charge since their goal and Osula had a decent chance to double the lead, well saved by Henderson after some ropey Palace passing. Both teams still squandering potentially fruitful positions too often with poor passes or general lethargy. Nine teams in Europe has not been good for the Premier League #product, especially in these Sunday games.

55 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Spurs’ last clean sheet in the Premier League was a goalless draw at Brentford on New Year’s Day. If you can’t win the game, don’t lose it and all that.

53 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Udogie goes down in the D after a challenge from O’Nien. The referee Rob Jones decides it was a legitimate hand-off rather than a foul. Had he given a free-kick, O’Nien might have been off for a Dogso.

50 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Richarlison receives a return pass from Bergvall, charges into the six-yard box and is denied by a fine last-ditch tackle from O’Nien.

46 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Back under way at the Stadium of Light, and in the other 2pm kick-offs.

Half time: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

A quiet first half comes to an end. Both keepers made big saves just before the break; until then they had much more to do with their feet than their hands. Robertbo De Zerbi will be reasonably happy, but Spurs can do more in the final third.

Half time: Nottm Forest 1 Aston Villa 1

Forest have come back into this game strongly and deserved their equaliser from Neco Williams. They have the option of last season’s leading scorer Chris Wood on the bench, after his recent return from a long-term knee injury.

Villa’s head coach Unai Emery has been box office to watch in the technical area: constantly in motion and offering advice to his players. Morgan Rogers is having one of those afternoons where he does something brilliant and then poor in the space of a minute.

45+4 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Big save by Roefs! The sliding Alderete cuts out a dangerous cross but can only give the ball to Solanke, six yards out to the left of centre. Roefs spreads himself to make a similar save to Kinsky’s at the other end. 

45+1 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Big save by Kinksy! A free-kick from the left is headed on and bounces through to Brobbey, five yards out at the far post. Kinsky flies out to make a terrific block.

45 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

A nice cross form Pedro Porro is volleyed acrobatically wide by Solanke, 10 yards out. Very tough chance.

Goal! Palace 0 Newcastle 1 (Osula 43)

Two good passing moves from a nothing half and Newcastle have the lead. The first ended with a Hall cross well cleared but Newcastle kept the ball and sent it towards the other wing. Two neat triangles gave Lewis Miley a chance for a searing low pass, Maxence Lacroix was caught out and Osula hacked it past Henderson at the second attempt.

42 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Spurs have been okay in the first half, no more or less. Antonin Kinsky hasn’t had a save to make, though Nordi Mukiele missed a great chance for Sunderland and Granit Xhaka shot just wide.

Solanke has a shot blocked after a rapid Spurs break. Sunderland have come closest to scoring but Spurs, Solanke in particular, have looked quite sharp at the other end.

33 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Brobbey is booked for nudging his elbow into the face of Porro, who was holding him back. Spurs wanted a red card but the referee decided the force of the blow only merited a yellow.

32 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Just wide from Xhaka! A long throw is headed away to the edge of the area, where Xhaka runs onto the loose ball and whistles a first-time shot through the crowd. It beats Kinsky and goes this far wide of the far post.

32 min: Palace 0 Newcastle 0

Woeful game here. Kindest thing you could say it both defences are doing a fair job. Both teams capable of stepping up to win ball and prevent any promising attacking moves. Both teams equally capable of giving away the ball themselves. My highlight so far has been the William Osula song to the tune of Tequila. The Champs version, not Terrorvision.

28 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Chance for Mukiele! The resulting free-kick is headed horribly wide from six yards by the unmarked Mukiele. That was a great chance and he got it all wrong.

28 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Cristian Romero is booked for taking out Brian Brobbey.

27 min: Nottm Forest 0 Aston Villa 1

Forest have been strangely passive so far, and are now a goal behind.

Vitor Pereira made a number of changes for the Europa League tie in Porto, preferring to play what is effectively his first-team here against Villa.

It has not appeared to work so far.

That was never a penalty for Tottenham and I’m amazed referee Rob Jones blew for it in real time. Kolo Muani was not even appealing for the spot kick, he was appealing for a corner. There was a coming together and presumably Jones thought Luke O’Nien had slid in and brought the Spurs player down, but there was no contact and Omar Alderete had actually got a foot on the ball first anyway to take it away from the midfielder. VAR intervenes and the decision is changed after a look at his monitor.

23 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0 No real complaints for Spurs, which says it all. 

Penalty to Spurs!

21 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0 Sunderland can’t believe this, and the decision may be overturned by VAR. Kolo Muani, who was going nowhere, was sandwiched between Alderete and O’Nien and went over. If anything Kolo Muani kicked Alderete’s foot. There was disbelief when the referee pointed to the spot.

VAR have asked the referee to go to the monitor.

19 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Chance for Sunderland! Reinildo combines superbly with Le Fee, whose teasing cross is headed over from five yards by Brobbey. He rose well, perhaps a split-second too early on reflection, but couldn’t quite get over the ball.

17 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Le Fee’s routine ball in from the left is muffed by the off-balance Romero and looks set to run kindly for Brobbey in the six-yard goal. Kinsky reacts quickly to dive on the ball.

15 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

It’s been a stress-free start for Antonin Kinsky, with just that Xhaka corner threatening to cause any problems. He’s had a lot of touches with his feet, though, with Spurs building right from the back in the De Zerbi style.

11 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Tottenham almost cut Sunderland apart with their first attack of the De Zerbi era. It was a fantastic move and I’m still not entirely sure how Lucas Bergvall did not convert Solanke’s pull back from the byline. It was a last-ditch toe from a Sunderland defender to take it away.

Spurs have also spurned another wonderful chance, Richarlison deciding to take on a shot first time and putting it weakly into the arms of Robin Roefs. He could have taken a touch and set himself given the amount of time and space he had.

Encouraging for Spurs, as is the fact Antonin Kinksy has also survived his first examination in goal. Sunderland were always going to swing their corner right on top of the goalkeeper, but Kinksy did well to palm the first away as it threatened to bend into the far corner.

Sunderland have come back into this though and are putting pressure on the Spurs defence.

9 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

7 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Sunderland win their first corner on the right. It’s set to be an outswinger until Granit Xhaka pulls rank so that he can test Antonin Kinsky with an inswinger. Xhaka curls the corner right under the crossbar and Kinsky has to backpedal to slap it over the bar. The follow-up corner is cleared by Spurs.

5 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

It’s been a decent start for Spurs, with plenty of the patient, cat-and-mouse possession we saw from De Zerbi’s Brighton.

After another such move, Kolo Muani breaks the midfield line and finds Richarlison on the left side of the area. His first-time shot dribbles through to Roefs. On reflection he had time to take a touch.

2 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Nearly the perfect start for Roberto De Zerbi! Solanke makes an excellent run to the byline and screws the ball back towards Bergvall, six yards out. He can’t make contact under pressure from a defender and then Porro’s shot from the edge of the area is saved by Roefs. For a second, Bergvall looked set to score.

1 min: Sunderland 0 Spurs 0

Spurs kick off from left to right as we watch. Richarlison plays the ball straight back to Kinsky, who launches it downfield. Not a bad idea to give him an early touch, even one as straightforward as that.

De Zerbi takes his seat

Roberto De Zerbi, who has wisely worn a gilet on a sunny but blustery day in Sunderland, looks relaxed as he takes his seat in the dugout. I was going to say the De Zerbi Years start here for Spurs, but ‘years’ is a bit of a hostage to fortune in modern football.

Martinez injured in the warm-up

Villa keeper Emiliano Martinez will miss the match after injuring himself in the warm-up. Marco Bizot replaces him.

This has happened at least three times before. Very odd. Bad preparation or just a huge coincidence?

Update: Marco Bizot will now start in goal, replacing Emi Martínez. James Wright is now amongst our substitutes. https://t.co/fUjJZ1y8vK

Forest hoping for some home comfort

Away from Europe, this is clearly a huge game for both Forest and Villa in the Premier League.

Villa are back in the driving seat for Champions League qualification after recovering from a recent stumble.

Forest’s win over Tottenham before the international break reinvigorated their survival mission but they remain in deep trouble.

You have to go all the way back to December 14 for Forest’s last home win in the Premier League. This game feels pretty significant for both clubs.

Roberto De Zerbi’s pre-match interview

It was not so easy to select the first XI because I’m lucky – we have a lot of very good players. It was very difficult.

[On starting all three of Richarlison, Solanke and Kolo Muani] They are different players; they play in different positions. Solanke is the striker. We are trying to win the game and to do that we need to score.

[On the selection of Antonin Kinsky] I believe in him. He has to stay calm and believe in himself. He has the right quality to play in the Premier League; he’s shown that in the past. He has to forget [Atletico Madrid] and focus on this game because we need him.

We have to fight. We have to play with the right spirit and help each other on the pitch. We have to keep our head, show our qualities and not forget who we are. When they play like they can, we can compete against every team in the Premier League.

Glasner prioritises Europa League

Differing priorities seeping through the line-ups at Selhurst Park. Palace are in Europa Conference League mode, with a clear eye on their second leg at Fiorentina on Thursday.

Second choice options for them in central midfield (Will Hughes, Jefferson Lerma) and in attack (Brennan Johnson, Jorgen Strand Larsen, Yeremy Pino). Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr are on the bench in case of emergency.

Newacstle strengthened by the return of Sandro Tonali who missed Eddie Howe’s job-endagering defeat to Sunderland. Tino Livramento and Jacob Murphy in from the start, and Sven Botman who appeared to hurt himself in the Tyne-Wear derby.

In the firing line

Forest v Villa: a Europa League dress rehearsal?

Could this be a potential warm-up for a European semi-final?

Aston Villa have a huge advantage ahead of their quarter-final second leg against Bologna, while Forest face Porto on Thursday in the Europa League after a 1-1 draw.

Villa and Forest will face each other in the last four if they can finish the job later this week.

Victory here could deliver an early blow before a potential full English in the semi-final.

Spence and Simons left out by De Zerbi

Roberto De Zerbi’s first teamsheet has arrived as Tottenham Hotspur manager and it is not good news for Djed Spence or Xavi Simons who are both named on the bench.

A lot has been said about the lack of quality in the Spurs side - as well as a crippling injury list - but with the possible exception of the goalkeeper, that looks like a decent Premier League XI. Certainly, it is not a team that should be sat third from bottom in the table and staring into the relegation abyss.

De Zerbi is the third manager this season to try and get a tune out of this group and all the mood music coming out of North London since the Italian arrived has been positive.

The training has been good, detailed and invigorating. De Zerbi has used his first appearances in front of the media to talk up the quality of the players he has inherited. The survival mission has got off to an encouraging start.

But here comes the first stress test against a Sunderland side that has been a nightmare to play against all season and is coming off the back of a derby win over Newcastle.

The Black Cats have lost their last three home games and know they cannot afford to make it a fourth in front of their own supporters

It is time for the talking to stop. If Spurs are going to get out of trouble, they need to give reason for optimism on the pitch. They have struggled to do that under two previous managers this season.

De Zerbi needs managing – but there is nobody at Spurs to rein him in

By Sam Wallace

Spurs could very quickly be Roberto De Zerbi’s club – certainly if he is successful in steering the team away from the relegation zone beginning with the trip to Sunderland today. The suggestion is that he has negotiated one of the most lucrative deals for any manager in the Premier League – chiefly by virtue of declining the job for some time.

He is in power and, at a club where no one else seems to have a plan, De Zerbi has plenty of them.

Kinsky’s 17-minute disasterclass

In case you’ve forgotten the extent of Antonin Kinsky’s awful night in Madrid on 10 March, here’s a breakdown of the events that led to him being substituted after 17 minutes.

6 min: Atlético Madrid 1 Tottenham Hotspur 0 (Kinsky blunder)
The call to drop Vicario for Kinsky was a bold one by Tudor. Just six minutes in, it backfired as the Czech Republic international slipped, handing Atlético the easiest of openers for a nightmare start in Madrid.

15 min: Atlético 3 Spurs 0 (Kinsky blunder 2.0)
From worse to a complete disaster, Kinsky had to check whether he had the right boots on after the first goal but he had no excuses for the third. After fluffing an attempted first-time cleared backpass, Julián Alvarez had an open goal.

Read more...

Tudor’s shameful treatment of Kinsky was the ultimate sporting humiliation

With Antonin Kinsky starting for Spurs, it’s worth revisiting this piece from Oliver Brown on that disastrous night in Madrid last month.

Nobody embodies Tottenham’s path to perdition quite so starkly as poor Antonin Kinsky. Just 14 months ago, he was the beaming face of his basket case of a club, climbing into the stands for an emotional embrace with sister Andrea after an inspired performance against Liverpool on his debut.

How jarringly that moment collided with this week’s pitiful scene at Atletico Madrid, as the 22-year-old sloped off the pitch in torment, substituted in only the 17th minute after conceding three goals, each in more gruesome fashion than the last. He was plainly inconsolable, and yet manager Igor Tudor, with a telling lack of backbone, refused even to look at him.

Zerbi: I want my team to play like Ange’s Spurs

By Sam Dean

Roberto De Zerbi wants his Tottenham Hotspur players to revert to the more adventurous style of play they showed under former head coach Ange Postecoglou.

De Zerbi has seven games to save Spurs from relegation and he has demanded “courage and personality” from his team going into his first game, away to Sunderland on Sunday.

Postecoglou was sacked by Spurs last summer after winning the Europa League and finishing 17th in the Premier League, but had initially thrilled the Spurs fans with his attacking approach, dubbed “Ange Ball”.

“I want to see again the Tottenham I watched with Postecoglou,” said De Zerbi, who most recently managed Brighton and Marseille before his appointment in north London. “In my second season in Brighton there was Postecoglou here with a lot of these players, and it was one of the best teams in terms of quality of play. I would like to see it again.”

De Zerbi has admitted, though, that he does not have enough time to implement his own tactical ideas this season. He is therefore prioritising the creation of the “right spirit, attitude and behaviour” from a group of players who have long been accused of mental fragility.

Last time Spurs looked too good to go down, they proved us all wrong

By Jim White

Forty-nine years ago, nobody believed it could happen either. And when the moment came and Tottenham Hotspur were doomed to be relegated from England’s top division, no one looked more astonished at the turn of events than Pat Jennings. The great keeper had won the Uefa Cup, the FA Cup and the League Cup (twice) with the club. Yet here he was confronting humiliation as, in their penultimate fixture of the season, his Spurs side shipped five goals against Manchester City in a match they could not lose if they were to survive.

“I was at that game,” recalls Danny Kelly, the broadcaster and host of the Spurs podcast The View From The Lane. “At the end I just remember Pat, who had won the footballer of the year only a couple of years earlier, staring out across the pitch with this look that said ‘this isn’t right, this just can’t be’.”

Today’s Premier League fixtures (2pm KO unless stated)

• Crystal Palace v Newcastle
• Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa
• Sunderland v Tottenham Hotspur
• Chelsea v Manchester City (4.30pm)

Good afternoon

Things were looking bleak for Tottenham when they drew 1-1 at home to Sunderland at the start of January. They had plummeted from third in the table at the end of October to 13th, and their new manager Thomas Frank was under increasing pressure after a miserable run of two wins in 11 games.

Fast forward three months and that particular crisis feels like a golden age. Since that Sunderland game, Spurs have failed to win in 11 Premier League games, picking up only three draws, and their new manager Roberto De Zerbi will take charge of a team in the relegation zone.

Since the start of November, Spurs’ Premier League record is P22 W2 D7 L13 Pts 13. That’s not relegation form; it’s far worse than that. Even Wolves have picked up more points in the same period. It’s hard to believe Spurs are in this mess – but they are and it’s getting worse by the week. The days of a a first relegation since 1977 being unthinkable are long gone.

De Zerbi has seven games to work some magic, starting with a tough trip to the Stadium of Light. “We have no time to work like in Brighton or Marseille, or in other places I’ve been,” he said. “I don’t want to put confusion inside of the players. They have to have a clear plan and not too much instruction, not too much thinking.

“They have to run, they have to play with courage and personality and they have to fight. That’s it. For me, my demand is to show the right spirit I want to see.”

Sunderland v Spurs is one of three 2pm kick-offs. We’ll also have updates from Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa, a big game at both ends of the table, and Crystal Palace v Newcastle United. But our main focus will be events at the Stadium of Light, where Spurs desperately need a positive result.

Gloucestershire 185-8 (38 overs): Halliday 49, Start 49; Walker 3-29, Shearn 3-38

Glamorgan 188-4 (35.2 overs): Parfitt 56, Gammon 49*, Sturge 41*; Daniels 2-40

Glamorgan won by 6 wickets

Scorecard

Glamorgan recovered from a shaky start to beat Gloucestershire by six wickets in the opening round of the women's League 2 One Day Cup.

The Welsh side chased down a target of 186 in 38 overs with 16 balls to spare, thanks to 56 from captain Lauren Parfitt, 49 not out from Bethan Gammon and 41 not out from loanee Megan Sturge.

2025 runners up Glamorgan looked under pressure for much of the game, after Gloucestershire's total of 185-8 was built round 49 apiece from opener Becca Halliday and Georgina Start.

Teenage spinner Poppy Walker (3-29) dismissed both to slow the visitors, while seamer Anna-Mae Shearn also claimed three wickets.

Glamorgan, fielding loanees Sturge behind the stumps and spinner Jas Westley, chose to bowl first after nearly two hours of rain delays.

Gloucestershire gave debuts to opener Laila Moledina (Somerset) and Maddie White as they sought revenge for three losses to Glamorgan in 2025.

After early strokes for Shearn and Westley, a third-wicket stand of 63 between Halliday and Start got the visitors' innings going.

Halliday hit the only six of the innings off Westley while Start's runs came off just 54 balls, backing up her form as 2025 player of the year in the competition.

Walker's wickets and the usual economic spells from Gemma Porter prevented Gloucestershire from a further charge.

Early wickets for Emily Geach, captain Liv Daniels and Charlie Phillips had Glamorgan on the back foot at 59 for three in the 16th over after some astute bowling changes.

Glamorgan's hopes now rested on the experienced Welsh duo of Parfitt and the busy Gammon, with Parfitt surviving early pressure and a dropped boundary chance to reach her 50 off 63 balls.

The partnership was worth 54 off 52 balls when Parfitt chipped Daniels (2-40) to cover, throwing the match back into the balance with 55 needed off the last 10.

Hampshire's Sturge, with her experience of Tier One cricket, proved a useful partner for the aggressive Gammon as they made light of the target, Sturge cracking her sixth boundary to seal victory.

Glamorgan's Bethan Gammon told BBC Sport Wales:

"It's really pleasing to get over the line in the first game of the season, we went through some difficult periods but sometimes being able to come through those shows the fighting character we have in this team and hopefully that'll set us up well for the rest of the season.

"The important thing was not letting it get over a run a ball, so we were trying to rotate the strike, keeping active and building partnerships.

"I've played some T10 cricket with Meg so to play with her again was really enjoyable, she was a fantastic addition to the squad today."

Saturday night’s middle game between the Atlanta Braves and the Cleveland Guardians certainly ended in disastrous fashion. With that being said, it could’ve gone off the rails much earlier than it did and it’s a credit to starting pitcher Martín Pérez that the Braves stayed in the game. Now granted, the lineup had absolutely nothing to offer against Guardians starter Parker Messick but they were at least hypothetically in the game thanks to Pérez’s efforts.

Martín Pérez spoke with the media following the game and it’s safe to say that he’s feeling encouraged following his five innings of giving up just one run. Pérez spoke with the media and continued to reiterate that this is as good as he’s felt on the mound for a couple of years now. “Since I started throwing the ball this year, I feel better,” said Pérez. “Today was a good game, I was attacking the strike zone and I wasn’t missing too far from the [strike zone]. Every time when I go out there, I feel better. I’m going to continue to do my job and continue to give the team the chance to win many games.”

When he was asked about the last time that he felt this good, Pérez explained that it began with the tail end of last season during his stint with the White Sox. “[There’s no] pain on my arm,” stated Pérez. “I know that I can help the team. Finally, I feel grea and I don’t feel anything in my elbow. It was hard for me for the last two years to pitch with no pain. Sometimes [I’d] wake up for the next day about how I’m going to feel tomorrow and how I’m going to feel today. Now, I’m just enjoying what I’m doing because I feel great and I feel healthy. It’s a beautiful feeling to go out there and compete when you know you feel strong and better.”

“I think he’s been really good,” said Walt Weiss when he was asked about Pérez’s performances so far. “On top of [the two starts, he had] that relief appearance where he came in and saved our ‘pen. He’s been nice to have. He’s a veteran, he knows how to handle himself, he’s good in the clubhouse and and he’s good to have around.”

Pérez’s only real blemish on the night was giving up the homer to José Ramírez in the first inning. That was an inauspicious start to his outing and he dealt with traffic at times but he recovered to have a perfectly fine outing for being the fifth starter in this rotation. He was asked about how he adjusted in the second at-bat to strike out Ramirez and for Pérez, the adjustment was pretty simple. “I’m just trying not to miss my spot for the second time,” explained Martín. “He’s one of the best hitters in baseball and as a pitcher, it’s about keeping the batter off of his timing. During the first inning, I went to the changeup after the fastball…and he got me. I made sure that the second at-bat I was going to throw the pitch I wanted so I knew I could get him now.”

So while the game didn’t go Atlanta’s way once Martín Pérez exited the contest, it’s still encouraging that the Braves are getting value out of his contributions out of the fifth spot of the rotation. That role will certainly change once Spencer Strider gets healthy and later on down the road once the Braves get their full compliment of pitchers back but for now, Pérez is doing his part to make sure that this good start that the rotation is on continues to last for as long as possible. Hopefully we’ll see Chris Sale deliver a bounce-back start of his own later on tonight in order to keep the good times rolling.

MIAMI — With Sunday night’s regular-season finale comes the end of an era for the Miami Heat, the matchup against the Atlanta Hawks at Kaseya Center the final telecast on FanDuel Sports Network.

With the outlet ceasing operations, the Heat next will either turn to a streaming platform or local outlet, such as the one the Florida Panthers went with on Scripps Sports with their over-the-air telecasts this season.

For the immediate future, there also will be no local telecasts of wherever the postseason might take Erik Spoelstra’s team.

All games in the play-in round, which is where the Heat are seeded, will be telecast solely on Amazon Prime’s streaming channel, with no local option.

All playoff games will be handled by national outlets, with the NBA no longer allowing local broadcasts during the opening round of the playoffs, as had been the case in previous years, before the new national-broadcast contract went into effect this season. If the Heat advance through the play-in round to the playoffs, they would face the Detroit Pistons in a series opening April 19.

For those following the Heat, it is a hard stop for the season for  game-night coverage from Eric Reid, John Crotty and the Heat’s television wing.

The Heat’s Jason Jackson and Amy Audibert will continue providing coverage throughout the Heat’s postseason run on the team’s radio outlets, including WQAM in South Florida, with Spanish radio coverage continuing on WQBA 1140 AM with José Pañeda and Joe Pujala.

Like the Miami Marlins, who moved to a streaming approach with coverage this season in the wake of Major League Baseball’s local packages ending with FanDuel, the NBA is expected to move ahead with such an approach next season. As with select Marlins games this season, the Heat also could find an over-the-air home, with select games this past season having been simulcast on Local 10 WPLG.

The Heat, Hawks, Hornets, Cavaliers, Pistons, Pacers, Clippers, Grizzlies, Bucks, Timberwolves, Thunder, Magic and Spurs all have deals expiring with the soon-to-cease FanDuel-branded outlets.

According to a report in the Sports Business Journal, “the NBA is urging teams to sign one-year deals or packages with at least a one-year exit clause, in the event the league does not launch a national streaming platform until the 2027-28 season. But sources said there is a sense multiple teams could shift to a streaming-only template for next season with platforms such as DAZN or Victory+ — which would be a first for NBA teams.”

That report also said, “Although the NBA has toyed with launching a streaming hub for local broadcasts in time for next season, the project was not a topic at the recent Board of Governors session, and the teams are proceeding as if it won’t happen until the 2027-28 season at the earliest. For that reason, the league has asked all teams to sign those one-year digital deals for 2026-27 or deals with exit clauses – so the franchises can join the platform in aggregate once it goes live.”

The Heat’s current television personalities are expected to continue on with whatever form next season’s television package takes.

Manchester City are running riot against Chelsea as Pep Guardiola's men are keen to close the gap to Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.

And it should come as little surprise that Rayan Cherki has, once again, been an integral figure on the pitch for the hegemonic club.

The 22-year-old French international and Lyon academy product has quickly become the creator-in-chief for the Etihad club since his summer arrival from Ligue 1, and a brace of assists today has served up further proof of his growing influence.

With his pair of helpers after the break that saw Nico O'Reilly and Marc Guéhi put City well in control, Cherki has now provided multiple assists in three different Premier League games this season, with Bruno Fernandes and Jack Grealish the only other players to achieve the same feat.

Cherki (10), who is second in the league to only the aforementioned Fernandes (16) in Premier League assists, has banked two or more assists on four occasions for Man City across all competitions this term, more than any other player for a big-five European league club, while also becoming just the second Man City player 22-year-old or younger after Leroy Sané to hit 10+ assists in a single season (per StatMuse).

Does a place in Didier Deschamps' France XI justifiably beckon?

The next few days are incredibly crucial for Real Madrid, as they seek to remain in this season’s Champions League. They go to Bayern Munich on Wednesday hoping to overturn a one-goal deficit in the quarter-final tie, but should they fail to do so, they will be set for a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy win.

Because of this, there is a desperation surrounding Real Madrid, whose La Liga hopes all-but ended on Friday with a 1-1 home draw against Girona. They have been given hope that a comeback is possible, and one of their biggest believers is president Florentino Perez.

On Sunday, Perez was speaking at a ceremony honouring Real Madrid’s longest-serving members. He spoke at the event, during which he referenced the upcoming match against Bayern, as per Marca.

“We have won 58 titles in the last 15 years, including 6 European Cups in football and 3 in basketball. We value things in their fair measure, and we are aware of the difficulties of achieving each victory and each title.

“I have always said that the loyalty of Madridismo is our great strength. Here no one gives up and we are going to continue fighting year after year until the last moment to try to continue adding titles to the greatest list of winners in the history of sport. It is an honour to have your support to continue pursuing the best club in history.”

Can Real Madrid get the job done in Munich?

If Real Madrid fail to get the better of Bayern on Wednesday, it will be a second failed season in a row for the Bernabeu club. Because of this, there’s no doubt that an extra feeling of determination will be surrounding Alvaro Arbeloa’s squad ahead of their trip to Germany early next week, but whether it’s enough to lead them to victory remains to be seen.

Anything can happen on Masters Sunday, this year more than ever.

It threatened to be a procession when Rory McIlroy took the biggest-ever 36-hole lead in Masters history, but his six-stroke lead evaporated after a third round of 73, and now it’s anyone’s game.

McIlroy enters the final round tied at 11-under with Cameron Young, who shot an incredible 65 to earn a place in the final pairing. Scottie Scheffler also threw his hat in the ring with a 65 of his own.

There are eight players within four shots of each other with 18 holes to play, and three-time Masters winner Sir Nick Faldo picked one of them to beat McIlroy to the Green Jacket this year.

Sir Nick Faldo picks Justin Rose to win The Masters before final round

Faldo, who came back from six strokes down to beat Greg Norman in 1996, picked Justin Rose to win The Masters from three shots behind.

Speaking on Sky Sports, he said, “It’s tough isn’t it? I think Rose might be the most complete if he gets the putter going.

“Coming from three back, it’s freedom. Go and play the front nine, as I say, come up for air, have a look at the leaderboard, and then it gets serious.”

Rose had 10 birdies in the final round last year to force a playoff with McIlroy, but he lost in a playoff hole at Augusta for the second time.

He’s been knocking on the door for two decades, but Faldo thinks that on the 21st time of asking, Rose will finally win his hard-earned Green Jacket.

Dame Laura Davies picks Rory McIlroy to win The Masters

Four-time major winner Dame Laura Davies disagreed with Faldo, saying that she thinks McIlroy will bounce back and win his second straight Masters. But the Northern Irishman isn’t who she wants to win it.

She said on Sky Sports, “I’d love to see Shane win it, but I’ve just got a feeling it might be Rory again.”

Lowry, who aced the sixth hole to become the first player to ace two different holes at The Masters, starts Sunday two shots back from the lead and ready to pounce on errors from his good friend McIlroy and American Young.

It would be his second major win, seven years on from the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush. Seeing McIlroy put the Green Jacket on his friend would be a fitting end to this incredible tournament.

Manchester United skipper Bruno Fernandes has set a clear condition to the club in order for him to remain.

Leading the way

Fernandes has been the main man at United since his arrival from Sporting CP in 2020. He has arguably been the best signing the club has made since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.

He has continued to lead from the front this season, with the Portuguese playmaker registering an impressive eight goals and providing an additional 16 assists. He broke David Beckham’s assist record last month to become the United player with the most assists in a Premier League campaign.

Fernandes is just four away from matching, and possibly surpassing, Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry’s Premier League record (20).

Yet, there have been murmurs that an exit this summer could be on the cards. Last summer, he attracted strong interest from the Saudi Pro League but he eventually turned down a mega proposal from the Gulf nation in favour of staying at Old Trafford.

Saudi clubs are still keeping tabs on his situation, while there have also been suggestions that European heavyweights like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain want to add him to their ranks. United want to keep Fernandes and he has now informed them what they must do for this to happen.

Fernandes’ demand

Speaking to The Telegraph, Fernandes called on United to promise him that they will do everything to be a competitive outfit.

He told the newspaper, “Everyone that comes to Man United wants to win every trophy. No one thinks in coming to the club that we’re going to fight for one or two trophies in six years. You want to fight for all of them.”

“Then we went to three finals and didn’t win. That can happen. But at least you’ve been there in the fight. We were close. And what I said to the club every time that I spoke with them, what I want from the time I’m here, I want to compete. Because if I compete, I will be close to winning.”

“If I don’t compete, there’s no chance I’m going to get close to anything. So, the main thing that the club understood is this: it’s 2013 that they last won the Premier League. That’s too long for a club like Man United. Being now so long without winning a Premier League is not normal.”

“As a player, you have to understand that the fans, the expectation, will always be that we want to come back and win the Premier League.”

Fernandes continued, “As players, we have that expectation when we come to Man United. It doesn’t change. I know people will think: ‘You’re going to get more money, you can get better contracts.’ No, you come to Man United because you want to win trophies. Because money you can get anywhere.”

“A lot of clubs in the Premier League pay well, a lot of clubs in Italy, Spain, they will pay you a lot. But you come to the club because of the history, because of what you want to achieve and what you think you can achieve.”

“What I always say to the club is: ‘You can’t promise me that I’m going to win the Premier League. That’s impossible. But if you promise me that we’re going to be competitive and we’re going to be there at the end… that’s all I need to know. Because then it’s on me to become the best version of myself, to help everyone around to become the best version of themselves, to become the club we want to be.

Fernandes and his teammates return to action on Monday when they host Leeds United. Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

The first two games the Yankees played at Tropicana Field since the park’s reopening have proceeded quite…troppily, if you will. New York’s anemic offense was at least able to find a pair of go-ahead hits from José Caballero in yesterday’s 10-inning defeat, though the bullpen wasted little time coughing up the meager advantage to the Rays both times. Altogether, these games have lacked any sort of satisfying narrative flow—if you cynically expected the Yankees to trip over their own feet you were generally proven right within a couple of plate appearances.

So, with their lead over the AL East whittled down to just one game, Cam Schlittler and the Bombers will attempt to salvage the final game of this weekend set in St. Petersburg and snap a four-game skid which has halted the good vibes of their 8-2 start. Schlittler will get his first taste of action in this ersatz stadium. We’ll see how he does!

Cam’s lengthy scoreless streak was finally snapped by the Athletics in his last go-round when they tagged him for three runs in the third inning of a five-inning start. The tall righty collected himself after that point, and Amed Rosario’s heroics would deliver them the win. The Yankees haven’t won since then. Grabbing the initiative early hasn’t seemed to do the trick; they started with a lead in three of these four straight defeats. It’ll be up to Schlittler to keep down a typically pesky Rays offense and give New York some runway to finally get their bats clicking on full cylinders.

Of course, Schlittler’s opponent is yet another pitcher who has enjoyed great success against men in pinstripes. Drew Rasmussen, who was reinstated from the family medical emergency list today, has a 1.19 ERA across seven appearances (six of them starts). He’s picked up 44 strikeouts over 37.2 innings, with a mere five total runs allowed across those games. As if the Yanks didn’t have their hands full enough already! The silver lining is that the 30-year-old right-hander doesn’t tend to pitch very deep into games. He was five-and-dive in his first two starts, allowing one run to a pair of NL Central teams in St. Louis and Milwaukee.

Seeking a spark, the Yankees have shuffled their lineup around a bit. There are six lefties in today—though Rasmussen is as platoon-neutral as it gets. Ben Rice has moved up to the second spot in the order ahead of Aaron Judge, who will DH. Randal Grichuk, who is still hunting his first Yankee hit, will fill in at right field. Ryan McMahon gets another start at the hot corner and J.C. Escarra will catch the day game after a night game.

Manchester City defender Nico O’Reilly was taken off with a hamstring injury in the second-half of his side’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Sunday evening.

The 21-year-old maintained his excellent run of form by breaking the deadlock with a brilliant header from Rayan Cherki’s cross to give Pep Guardiola and co a monumental lead after 57 minutes at Stamford Bridge.

O’Reilly has been one of City’s best performers this season as the Blues undergo a period of transition under director of football Hugo Viana, who has orchestrated a major revamp of Guardiola’s squad in the last 12 months.

City entered Sunday evening’s clash with Chelsea nine points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal but with renewed optimism of hijacking another league title right under the Gunners’ noses after the north Londoners suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.

After a goalless first-half at Stamford Bridge, O’Reilly rose highest and headed home from Cherki’s cross before Manchester City’s architect-in-chief teed in January signing Marc Guehi, who smashed home expertly with a striker’s finish following a corner situation just before the hour mark.

Jeremy Doku added a third for Manchester City soon after but the Premier League title chasers have been handed a potentially very concerning injury blow after O’Reilly went off with what seemed like a hamstring injury and was replaced by Rayan Ait-Nouri after 65 minutes.

The full extent of O’Reilly’s issue and ramifications on the England international’s availability for next weekend’s title decider against Arsenal remain to be seen.

O’Reilly was spotted in conversation with Guardiola on the touchline at Stamford Bridge before he headed down the tunnel, with there a likelihood the substitution was a precaution and a means to protect one of Manchester City’s best players from aggravating his injury.

This is a developing story. More to follow.

Liverpool's future is still relatively undecided.

In fact, fans are even questioning whether Arne Slot will be in charge of the club at the start of the 2026-27 season after the Reds' poor performances this term.

And, the fact that they were beaten 2-0 by Paris Saint-Germain has only increased the pressure upon the Dutchman's shoulders.

However, this uncertainty hasn't stopped the rumour mill from turning with several world-class players already being linked with an Anfield switch.

Liverpool have been long-term admirers of several players that they're currently being linked with, however, since they've chosen against making moves for those players up until now, there are many other clubs now vying for their services.

Liverpool will have to fend off Bayern Munich to sign Anthony Gordon

Anthony Gordon has managed to prove himself as one of Newcastle's best players once again this season.

The Englishman has been the shining light in Eddie Howe's team on more than one occasion this term with the attacker having a real chance of being called up to Thomas Tuchel's 2026 World Cup squad.

These performances have piqued the interest of several teams from across the globe but, ever since he was an Everton player, Liverpool have shown an interest in him.

And, even though talks of a potential transfer have died down recently, it seems like other clubs are making moves towards the attacker with journalist Sacha Tavolieri sharing a new update on his future.

"Bayern Munich have not ruled out a move for Anthony Gordon," he wrote via his personal X account.

"Bavarians already made contact with the player’s representatives.

"The Englishman, inspired by the success of Michael Olise, is not closing the door. As of now, Newcastle are not willing to consider a departure.

"Wait&See."

Liverpool must figure out the transfers they want to make before it's too late

Even though Liverpool spent around £450 million last summer, it's clear that some new players still need to be brought in.

There are many areas among Slot's ranks that could do with an upgrade and, unless they get ahead of their rivals in the transfer market, they could be left picking up everyone's scraps.

Indeed, Gordon may not be the best player in the world but the fact that he's Premier League proven and fairly versatile makes him an ideal candidate for Liverpool.

Others such as Nico Schlotterbeck and Bazoumana Toure also have a lot of interest in them so, if Slot and Richard Hughes don't act fast, they could be left in the dust.

Ibrahima Konate's future seems to lie with Liverpool which means that one less problem has been taken off their hands but, if Liverpool want to start challenging for the Premier League and Champions League again next season, some serious changes will need to be made.

Which is exactly why they need to act fast, so that they can welcome their top targets through the Anfield doors.

Rory McIlroy heads into the final round of The Masters tied for the lead with Cameron Young.

The six-shot lead McIlroy had at the halfway stage of The Masters is no more, and now six players are within four shots of the lead shared by himself and Young.

The 36-year-old Northern Irishman played really poorly on Saturday at Augusta National as his wayward driving finally caught up with him.

McIlroy faltered on day three of The Masters as he struggled to find any kind of rhythm at Augusta National.

After his third round, McIlroy immediately went to the driving range, searching for something before the final round.

McIlroy spoke after day three at The Masters and insisted he would come out firing on Sunday.

However, Butch Harmon noticed something very worrying about the five-time major champion when he saw him working away on the driving range on Saturday night.

Butch Harmon makes Rory McIlroy observation after he shot 73 at The Masters

McIlroy was clearly struggling with his game throughout the third round at Augusta National.

He was fighting his swing all day and actually did well to post a score of 73 in the end.

However, there is a chance that things could get worse for the Northern Irishman on day four of The Masters.

Butch Harmon was a guest in the Sky Sports studio ahead of the final round on Sunday.

And he made a very concerning observation about McIlroy.

“If you go watch right here, you’ll see his frustration,“ Harmon said when watching a clip of McIlroy beating balls on the driving range.

“Obviously, he was totally out of sync.

“For me, in watching him, especially with the driver, I thought the club was a little too far inside, going back, and it gets a little across the line, and when the club gets a little across the line, you’ve got to reroute it coming down.

“The club gets stuck behind you, your body gets out in front of you.

“The club face is open, and you can’t catch up.

“Now, I don’t know what he was working on here, but he was pretty frustrated out there watching it.“

Should Rory McIlroy take driver out of his bag?

Some golf analysts have urged McIlroy to take his driver out of play on Sunday and use his three-wood more often.

Harmon was asked whether McIlroy hitting a three-wood would be a case of him taking away his superpower.

“No I think in that case, when you’re out of sync like that, the consistent miss was to the right, we saw a whole bunch of them,“ Harmon said.

“Take the three wood. Turn it down a little, fire it maybe a little low out there.

“Do something that’s different than what you’ve been doing. Get the thing in play, right, because he’s long enough, he can knock it on the green from anywhere.

“It’s just, he was just completely out of sync at what he was doing.

“I’ve got to hand it to him that he’s still tied for the lead. Because, I mean, he couldn’t have been happy out there with the way he was playing.

“You could see his frustration. You know, he made a great birdie at 14. He kept trying to hang in there and hang in there. And you got to give it to him.

“He’s still up there, and I still think he’s got a great chance to win.“

How Lakers, Nuggets impact each other's playoff seeding in Western Conference standings on final day originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.

A lot of the Western Conference standings are set in stone as the NBA begins the final day of its regular season. 

The Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers still have seeding to play for, though.

The Lakers host the Jazz on Sunday evening, while the Nuggets travel to San Antonio to take on the Spurs.

Entering the day, the Nuggets have the West's 3-seed, and the Lakers are the 4-seed.

Nuggets, Lakers seeding implications

If the Nuggets win Sunday, they are locked into the 3-seed, and the Lakers are the 4-seed.

Given that the Spurs are already secured in the 2-seed, they may not play at full throttle against Denver on Sunday.

If the Nuggets lose, though, the door opens. The Lakers could get to the 3-seed with a win then.

In the first round, the 4-seed will play the Houston Rockets, while the 3-seed will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

It may be most relevant in the second round. The 3/6 winner won't play the Oklahoma City Thunder until, potentially, the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers will simply want the path that gives them the best chance of advancing and getting healthy as they still await the returns of Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves.

The Nuggets, with Nikola Jokic at the peak of his powers, will feel like they can beat anyone.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Like Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson before him, Scottie Scheffler talked about something you are not supposed to talk about at Augusta National.

Mud balls.

Following his third-round 65, Scheffler was oddly testy with the media outside of Augusta National's clubhouse. His interview with CBS' Amanda Balionis wasn't quite as spicy, though he still had some things he wanted to get off his chest. 

Despite having a 6 iron in his hands for his second shot into the par-5 13th, a club Scheffler referred to as a "scoring club," the World No. 1 failed to make birdie. Hell, given how good he is with his irons, eagle was certainly not out of the question. Could you imagine if he had pulled that off and he matched the course-record 63, to put himself at nine under, just two back? Sheeshaloo. 

Unfortunately, Scheffler's ball darted immediately left off the face, a clear sign of a mud ball. And that's not speculation. He went there, the place you're not supposed to go unless you want a stern talking to from the green jackets:

As Rick Golfs pointed out, Spieth did rant about this, too. Though it was not a couple years ago, it was last year, and our Dave Shedloski covered it. Spieth went as far as to say it can determine the outcome of the tournament following his third round in 2025. 

"My iron play killed me the last two days, and to be brutally honest with you, it was primarily mud balls," Spieth said a year ago. "It's just so frustrating because you can't talk about them here. You're not supposed to talk about them. Mud balls can affect this tournament significantly, especially when you get them a lot on 11 and 13. They're just daggers on those two holes."

Spieth did add that Augusta National had done a better job of limiting them in 2025, but with the way they mow the fairways and with the amount of watering they require, mud balls are inevitable. And because this isn't a regular PGA Tour event, players are going to have to play the ball down at the Masters. 

Another former winner, Bubba Watson, infamously shouted out "MUD BALL" after an approach into the fifth a few years ago. 

Good news for this trio - they all have green jackets. Which means they'll be invited back next year and for many more years to come. As for those without one of them coats, we'd suggest keeping the mud ball comments to yourself.

It appears Rick Barnes has found his next shot blocker to follow in the footsteps of Felix Okpara.

According to multiple outlets, Tennessee has secured the commitment of Loyola (Chicago) forward Miles Rubin, who recently visited Knoxville after entering the transfer portal.

Rubin brings length at the position at 6-10, 220 pounds. He certainly did work on the offensive end and on the glass for Loyola during his three years there. He has a career average of 9.0 ppg and 5.8 rebounds per game. His best season came last year, where he totaled 11.3 ppg and 7.1 rpg.

But Rubin is a flat-out shot blocker and rim protector, which Barnes covets highly. Rubin set a program record with 85 blocks in a single season in 2024-25. His 237 blocks are far and away the program career record, a number he shattered back in January when he got No. 177.

Barnes did good work earlier on in the month, when he landed shooting guard Tyler Lundblade from Belmont, a sharpshooting three point specialist. He continued with the scoring backcourt additions during the weekend with the commitment of Cal guard Dai Dai Ames, who averaged 16.9 ppg last year for the Bears.

Now, Tennessee added another important piece by adding a solid two-way player, and one who should make a significant impact near the basket as Tennessee tries to maintain the defensive dominance that’s helped carry them to three consecutive Elite Eights.

Samsung has released three new camera filters for the Galaxy S25 and S24 series with the latest One UI 8.5 beta software. The three filters are Classic Film, Pop Film, and Blanc. You should know that these new additions are already available in the S26 series, but an expansion is hitting previous flagships with the newest beta.

These three filters enable users to change an image’s appearance in different styles.

Classic film

This filter is the first in the selection and enables a vintage and unique mood with warm tones and restrained colors. It enhances a calm and stable skin tone, turning everyday moments into soft, emotional film photographs.

Pop Film

This filter has a vibrant film scene with vivid and bright color tone. It adds bright areas with a magenta tint and green shadows, making the subject look healthier, creating bright and colorful photographs.

Blanc

Though there are no limitations to this filter, it best suits scenes that focus on people and their clothing to pop whites and skin in the picture. Specifically, it enables bright, high tones and a natural whitening effect to make a face look clear and clean.

Customize

Once applied, you can capture the photographs, whether it’s a normal or a portrait. These filters bring a stylish change to your viewport. However, you still can customize the filter, changing its strength, color temperature, contrast, saturation, and film grain. Also, the filter screen lets you view the original right away to spot the difference.

Rollout

New camera filters are part of the latest One UI 8.5 beta firmware and are yet to be released for all Galaxy S25 and S24 series users. However, they may also drop to other devices with the stable firmware.

The post Check the three new camera filters of One UI 8.5 [Gallery] appeared first on Sammy Fans.

Throughout the 2025–26 season, Alessandro Bastoni’s future has been a topic of controversy. Although he is under contract with Inter Milan, he is reportedly looking to leave, with Barcelona being the main suitor for his signature. Although the Italian side considers him a cornerstone, they appear to be taking steps toward his departure, as they have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Tarik Muharemovic as his replacement.

According to Tuttosport, the Nerazzurri have reached an agreement to sign Tarik Muharemovic for next season. At just 23 years old, the Bosnian is one of the best left-footed center-backs in Serie A, having impressed at Sassuolo. However, the deal has not been finalized yet, so they are also keeping Oumar Solet (26, Udinese), Joel Ordóñez (21, Club Brugge), Mario Gila (25, Lazio), and Giovanni Leoni (19, Liverpool) on their list of priorities.

Far from being a minor detail, Inter Milan’s move suggests they could be open to selling Bastoni to Barcelona, securing a replacement first. The Italian defender could leave for €70 million (around $82 million) to the Spanish side, significantly higher than the previously speculated €50 million. Even so, Barcelona appear determined to pursue the deal, as he is viewed as a key difference-maker for Hansi Flick and his tactical setup.

Report: Bastoni and Inter Milan reach agreement ahead of his departure

After joining Inter Milan for €31 million in 2017, Alessandro Bastoni established as one of the team’s best players. However, the Italian is not experiencing his best moment in the country following his heavily criticized performances with the national team. In addition, Barcelona’s interest has made his potential departure more likely. As a result, the player has reportedly reached an agreement with the Nerazzurri over his exit.

As per La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter Milan and Alessandro Bastoni have decided to put any talks regarding his potential transfer on hold until they mathematically secure the Serie A title. However, the Italian defender remains keen on joining Barcelona, and once that objective is achieved, he is expected to push for a move to the Spanish side.

Barcelona reportedly chase alternatives amid Bastoni struggles

Although Barcelona continue to prioritize the signing of Alessandro Bastoni, they are already working on alternatives to strengthen their defense. Amid growing uncertainty surrounding the Italian’s potential move due to complications with Inter Milan, they have turned their attention to Luka Vušković. According to Diario AS, the 19-year-old Croatian, currently on loan at Hamburg from Tottenham Hotspur, is not willing to join the English side.

After impressing in the Bundesliga and emerging as a strong prospect for the 2026 World Cup, the Blaugranas have reportedly decided to pursue his signing. Moreover, he is keen on joining the Spanish side, which could facilitate the deal by putting pressure on his club to allow a departure, BILD reports. As a result, coach Hansi Flick would secure a defensive reinforcement, whether it be Bastoni or Vušković.

A current unified world champion has branded as a physically inferior fighter to himself, believing he would “run through” the WBO world welterweight titlist. ‘The Dream’ became a three-weight world champion in November, producing a cultured performance to outpoint and dethrone Brian Norman Jr at 147lbs. As a result, many believe that Haney has already […]

Galatasaray, Trendyol Süper Lig'in 29. haftasında Kocaelispor'u konuk ediyor. Sarı kırmızılılarda mücadele öncesi Okan Buruk, oyuncularının sakatlık ve son durumları hakkında açıklamalarda bulundu.

Galatasaray, Trendyol Süper Lig'in 29. haftasında Kocaelispor'u konuk ediyor. Sarı kırmızılılarda Okan Buruk karşılaşma öncesi açıklamalarda bulundu.

İŞTE BURUK'UN SÖZLERİ

Okan Buruk: "Ligin boyu çok kısaldı. Nisana geldik, mayıs yaklaşıyor. Galatasaraylılar'ın mottosu çalışmaya başladı. Mayıslarda güzel şampiyonluklar yaşadık. Hedefimiz mayısta şampiyonluk yaşayabilmek. Bunun için 6 çok önemli maç var, birisi de bu."

"EVİMİZDE UZUN SÜREDİR OYNAMIYORDUK"

"Uzun süredir evimizde oynamıyoruz. Taraftarımızı özledik, onlar bizi özledi. Bu tür bir maça göre taraftarımız çok motive, biz de öyleyiz. Göztepe deplasmanı kritikti, bu tür galibiyetleri taçlandırmak için bu maçı kazanmalıyız.

Rakibimizin galibiyet sayısı son maçlarda yüksek değil ama hep maçın içinde olan, mücadele gösteren bir rakibimiz var. Deplasman maçı oynayacaklar. Bunu göstermeye çalışacaklar. Biz de kazanmak için elimizden geleni yapacağız."

"LEMINA, SARA, YUNUS, TORREIRA VE ICARDI..."

"Daha farklı şeyler çıkabilir Kocaelispor'dan. Bizi şaşırtmak için dizilişlere bakmak lazım. 3 orta saha görünüyor. Nasıl karşılayacaklar o önemli. Adam adama takipleri de yapıyorlar. Hem top bizdeyken hem top rakipteyken oynayacak bir kadroyla sahadayız.

Bu hafta 3. maçımız bu. Değişiklik yaptık. Lemina'yı 3 maç üst üste oynatmıyoruz. Sakatlık riski olan bir oyuncu. Son aya girerken bunu düşündük. Torreira'nın daha dinlenmiş olduğunu düşündük. Singo'yu da aynı şekilde değerlendirdik. Yunus dün antrenmana çıktı. 1 haftadır antrenman yapamamıştı. Oyunun devamında kullanabiliriz. Sara'yı dün denedik, bugün oynayacak, durumunu göreceğiz. Lang'ın parmağıyla ilgili bir problemi var, o bazen yüzde yüzünü vermesini engelliyor. Bu kritik dönemde, mücadele gücü yüksek maçlarda oyun devamında kullanabiliriz. Bekleyen çok önemli oyuncular var, Icardi gibi. Hepsinin adını saymıyorum. Eren - Jakobs rotasyonunu hep yapıyoruz. Önemli oyuncularımız var.

Çok önemli bir maç. Çok gol attığımız bir maç olur. Rakip de savunmayı iyi yapan bir takım." dedi.

Galatasaray'a geri dönebileceği yönündeki iddiaların ardından Ozan Kabak'ın geleceği belli oldu.

Gelecek sezonun kadro planlaması doğrultusunda savunma hattına takviye yapmak isteyen ve bu yaz transfer döneminde masaya oturacağı isimleri belirleyen Galatasaray, gündemine milli futbolcu Ozan Kabak'ı da almıştı.

Dünyaca ünlü İtalyan gazeteci Fabrizio Romano, Hoffenheim ile sözleşmesi sezon sonunda bitecek 26 yaşındaki stoperin transfer kararını duyurdu.

Fransa, İtalya ve Almanya'dan çeşitli kulüplerden teklif alan Ozan'ın Hoffenheim ile sözleşme uzatma görüşmelerine olumlu yanıt verdiği ve başarılı savunmacının kontratının 2030 yılına kadar uzatılacağı aktarıldı.

2024/25 sezonunda çapraz bağ sakatlığı nedeniyle forma giyemeyen milli stoper, bu sezonun ikinci yarısında sahalara dönmüş ve Hoffenheim'ın ilk 11'inde kendine yer bulmayı başarmıştı.

Bu sezon Bundesliga'da 20 mücadelede boy gösteren Ozan Kabak, 4 kez fileleri havalandırdı.

Bursaspor, Ankara Demirspor'U 1-0 mağlup ederek puanını 74'e yükseltti. Bursaspor 1 puan daha alması halinde şampiyonluğunu ilan edecek.

SON İKİ MAÇ

Bursaspor, ligde kalan 2 maçında Somaspor ile evinde, şampiyonluk yolundaki rakibi Aliağa FK ile ise deplasmanda karşı karşıya gelecek. Bursaspor, rakiplerinin durumuna bakmaksızın 1 puan alması halinde şampiyonluğunu ilan ederek TFF 1. Lig’e yükselmeyi garantileyecek.

FIFA Küresel Futbol Gelişim Direktörü Arsene Wenger, A Milli Futbol Takımı hakkında açıklama yaptı.

FIFA Küresel Futbol Gelişim Direktörü Arsene Wenger, A Milli Futbol Takımı'nın önemli ofansif güce sahip olduğunu belirterek, ay-yıldızlıların Dünya Kupası'ndaki maçlarını merakla beklediğini söyledi.

"FIFA Arena" projesinin Türkiye etabının resmi açılışı için İstanbul'a gelen FIFA Küresel Futbol Gelişim Direktörü Arsene Wenger, Türkiye Futbol Federasyonunun (TFF) iletişim kanalları için röportaj verdi.

TFF'nin yayımladığı röportajda Meksika, Kanada ve ABD ortaklığıyla 11 Haziran-19 Temmuz tarihlerinde gerçekleştirilecek 2026 FIFA Dünya Kupası'na değinen Wenger, turnuvanın 48 takımla yapılacak olmasına dikkati çekti.

Geçen yıl FIFA 17 Yaş Altı Dünya Kupası'nı ilk kez 48 takımla organize ettiklerini anlatan Wenger, "Oldukça ilginç ve dengeli bir turnuvaydı. Şunu fark ettik ki gruptan çıktıktan sonra finale ulaşmak için 4 maç gerekiyor. Bu adeta zihinsel bir maraton. Yani diğerlerine göre 'Daha fazla takım' olabilenler zorlu maçlardan çıkıp finale ulaşmayı başardılar. Finale yükselen iki takım da zihinsel anlamda çok güçlü ekiplerdi." ifadelerini kullandı.

Yenilenen oyun kurallarına da değinen Wenger, "Kaleciler için aut atışında 8 saniye kuralı getirdik. Bu şimdiye kadar yoktu. Taç atışları için 8 saniye kuralı getirdik. Sakatlık numarası yapan oyuncuların, sahaya dönmeden önce 1 dakika kenarda beklemesi gerekecek. Oyuncu değişiklikleri için sadece 10 saniyeniz var. Çıkan oyuncu 10 saniye içinde oyunu terk etmezse yerine girecek oyuncu 1 dakika boyunca oyuna dahil olamayacak." açıklamasında bulundu.

Bu kuralların iyi sonuçlar verdiğini de sözlerine ekleyen Wenger, şöyle konuştu:

"Geçen yıl kaleci kuralını uyguladığımızda gördük, daha iyi bir sonuç verdi. Çünkü insanlar yüksek enerjili bir oyun izlemek istiyor. Bir futbol maçında bir takımın diğerine karşılık verirken ortaya koyduğu enerji, oyunun akıcılığından beslenir. Bu yüzden oyunu olabildiğince hızlı ve kesintisiz hale getirmek için sınırları zorlamamız gerektiğini düşünüyorum."

"Türkiye'yi Romanya'ya karşı izledim"

A Milli Futbol Takımı'nın 24 yıl sonra Dünya Kupası'nda yer almasıyla ilgili konuşan Arsene Wenger, millilerin 2002 Dünya Kupası'nda oynadığı Brezilya mücadelesini izlediğini söyledi.

Ay-yıldızlıların o dönemde çok iyi bir kadrosunun olduğunu ve maçı şansız şekilde kaybettiğini dile getiren Wenger, "Günümüze gelirsek, Türkiye'yi Romanya'ya karşı izledim. Potansiyelini tam anlamıyla yansıtamadı, çok rahat oynamadı, gergindi. Bu da normal çünkü baskı hayli yoğundu. Bu bir eleme maçıydı ve hedefe ulaşmak önemliydi. Diğer yandan iki play-off maçında da gol yememesi defansif olarak önemli öz güven sağladı. Milli takımınızın önemli bir ofansif potansiyeli olduğunu zaten biliyoruz. Türkiye'nin Dünya Kupası'nda nasıl bir performans göstereceğini merakla bekliyorum. Türkiye dört takımın da bir üst tura yükselme şansının bulunduğu bir grupta yer alıyor ve unutmayalım ki en iyi 8 üçüncü takım da gruptan çıkacak. Bu yüzden averaja da çok dikkat etmek gerekiyor. Bu yüzden sonuna kadar tüm maçlarda konsantre olmak şart." diye konuştu.

Futbolun geleceğiyle ilgili yorumunu da aktaran Wenger, şunları söyledi:

"Bana göre geleceğin futbolunda iki ayağını da üst düzey kalitede kullanan, bireysel teknik kalitesi kusursuz oyuncular olacak. Baskı faktörü nedeniyle pasın kalitesi ve hızı çok daha önemli hale gelecek. İkinci olarak tehlikeli olabilmek için çok dinamik ve sürekli hareket halinde futbol gerekecek. Son olarak takımlarda fiziksel güç ile taktiksel zeka arasında çok iyi bir denge kurulması gerekecek. Bu üç faktör gelecekte çok büyük önem taşıyacak."

İstanbul'da ünlü eğlence mekanlarına yönelik düzenlenen geniş çaplı uyuşturucu operasyonu sırasında dikkat çeken anlar yaşandı... Çorum FK'da forma giyen Danijel Aleksic ve Alfredo Fredy Ribeiro baskın yapılan mekandan çıkarken görüntülendi.

İstanbul’da ünlü eğlence mekanlarına yönelik düzenlenen geniş çaplı uyuşturucu operasyonu sırasında, Çorum FK’da forma giyen Danijel Aleksic ve Alfredo Fredy Ribeiro’nun baskın yapılan mekandan çıkarken görüntülenmesi dikkat çekti.

Kameraları fark eden Alfredo Fredy Ribeiro’nun yüzünü gizlemeye çalıştığı dikkat çekerken, Danijel Aleksic’in ise daha rahat tavırlar sergilediği gözlendi. İki futbolcu daha sonra VIP bir araca binerek bölgeden ayrıldı.

Futbol üzrə Azərbaycan milli komandasının mərkəz hücumçusu Renat Dadaşov Polşanın “Motor” komandasında növbəti oyununa çıxıb.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, 26 yaşlı hücumçunun komandası Polşa çempionatının 2025/2026-cı illər mövsümünün 28-ci turu çərçivəsində “Rakov”la qarşılaşıb.

Lyublin təmsilçisi bu rəqiblə doğma meydanda üz-üzə gəlib və heç-heçə ilə kifayətlənib – 1:1. Renat bu görüşün 79-cu dəqiqəsində meydana buraxılıb.

28 turdan sonra 39 xalı olan “Motor” hazırda Polşa çempionatının turnir cədvəlində 18 iştirakçı arasında 8-ci pillədə qərarlaşıb. Renatın komandası keçirdiyi 28 oyunda 9 qələbə qazanıb, 12 heç-heçə edib, 7 məğlubiyyətə üzülüb.

Xatırladaq ki, Dadaşov “Motor”la 2025-ci ilin yayında 1+1 illik müqaviləyə imza atıb. O, Lyublin klubunun heyətində meydana çıxdığı 20 oyunda fərqlənə bilməyib.

Renat Dadaşov ötən mövsümü Polşanın digər klubu “Radomyak”da keçirib. Amma o, mövsüm bitən kimi sözügedən klubu tərk edib və “Motor”la razılaşıb. Renat karyerası ərzində “Qrasshopper”, “Tondela”, “Eştoril”, “Pasuş de Ferreyra”, “Hatayspor”, “Ankaragücü” kimi klublarda da forma geyinib. O, Azərbaycan milli komandasının heyətində meydana çıxdığı 43 oyunda 6 qol, 2 məhsuldar ötürmə müəllifi olub.

“Qəbələ”nin baş məşqçisi Kaxaber Sxadadze Azərbaycan Premyer Liqasının 27-ci turunda “İmişli”yə qarşı keçirdikləri oyunu şərh edib.

Arena.az xəbər verir ki, sözügedən komandaların bu gün Qəbələdə baş tutmuş görüşündə meydan sahiblərinin 0:1 hesablı məğlubiyyəti ilə yekunlaşıb.

Kaxaber Sxadadze matçdan sonra təşkil edilmiş mətbuat konfransında bunları söyləyib:

“Çox acı məğlubiyyət oldu. Hamı bilir ki, “İmişli” böyük qüvvə ilə müdafiə olunan komandadır. Rəqib səhv edən kimi, bundan çox yaxşı istifadə edirlər. Bu, qışdan sonra onların ilk qələbəsi idi. Onlara qarşı bu cür səhv etmək olmaz. Təəssüf ki, standart vəziyyət zamanı səhvə yol verdik. Topa nəzarət edirdik, rəqibin cərimə meydançasına daxil olurduq, sadəcə, sonluq yox idi. Azarkeşlər narahat olurlar, onları da başa düşürük. “Qəbələ”nin bu durumda olması onları da narahat edir. Çempionatın sonuna 6 tur qalıb. Hər şeyi edəcəyik ki, Premyer Liqada qalaq. Bu matçda sonluğu heç cürə gətirə bilmədik.

Özümüz də bilirik ki, səhvlərimiz hardadır. “Qəbələ”nin problemi indi yox, Premyer Liqanı tərk edəndə başlamışdı. Amma biz geri qayıtdıq. Birinci Liqada 17 xallıq fərqlə çempion olduq. Ya gərək çempion olan komandanı dağıdıb tamamilə legionerlərdən ibarət heyət qurardıq. Bu da düzgün deyildi. Çünki bizi çempion edən futbolçulara şans verməliydik. Ona görə heyəti dağıtmadıq. “Qəbələ” bir neçə il əvvəl Avropa Liqasının qrup mərhələsində oynayırdı. İndi isə məqsəd liqada qalmaqdır. Bu gün kimsə desə ki, “İmişli” bizdən yaxşı oynadı, bununla razı olmaram. Çünki cəmi 2-3 dəfə cərimə meydançamıza daxil oldular. Biz Birinci Liqadakı heyətimizin 95 faizini saxladıq. Həmin vaxt da hamı razı idi ki, o futbolçuların əməyi olub, onları saxlamaq lazımdır. Bir az bəxt də gətirmir. 20-30 ildir məşqçilik edirəm. Müəyyən şeyləri üzərimizə götürmüşüksə, bunu sona qədərə davam etdirməliyik”.
