Messi’s Team Fails to Reach CONCACAF Final

Image
Lionel Messi’s  Inter Miami were at risk of going out after losing the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League semi-final. They were down 2-0 but still had hope with the second match being played at home. However, Messi and Suarez couldn’t turn things around. Instead, they lost again, this time 3-1. With that result, Javier Mascherano’s Miami team was knocked out of the semi-finals by the Vancouver Whitecaps. Inter Miami played against Vancouver at Chase Stadium in Florida. Jordi Alba gave Miami an early lead in the 9th minute. But after that, Vancouver took control and scored three goals. Even though both teams had a chance to reach the final for the first time, Miami ended the match with disappointment. Coach Mascherano started stars like Messi and Suarez and kept them on the field the entire game. Still, they couldn’t make use of their chances. Although Alba’s goal gave Miami hope early on, the team couldn’t hold on. At halftime, Miami was still ahead. But Vancouver equalized...

Image
Everything was set, and Brazil fans were happy to hear that  Carlo Ancelotti would be their new coach .  But just a few hours later, things changed. Now, it looks like Ancelotti is staying at Real Madrid and won’t be coaching Brazil after all. Why did Ancelotti change his mind after everything seemed ready? Many reasons have been suggested. But Brazilian media outlet  Globo  says that Real Madrid president Florentino PΓ©rez is the main reason Ancelotti won’t become Brazil’s coach. According to the latest reports, Ancelotti met with Brazilian officials in London on Wednesday afternoon (Spanish time). Real Madrid’s president didn’t like this. He reminded Ancelotti that he has a contract with the club until 2026 and said he is expected to lead the team in the Club World Cup too. At first, reports said  Real Madrid   would pay Ancelotti’s full salary until June 2026, even if he left the club early. But in the end, club president Florentino Perez changed his mind...

The French star scored with a quick shot after receiving a long pass from Georgian winger Kvaratskhelia. His left-footed strike passed through several defenders and ended up in the corner of the net.

Image
  Gary Trent Jr . made the most of his rare chance to start for the Milwaukee Bucks. Trent tied a team playoff record with nine 3-pointers and scored a career-high 37 points, leading the Bucks to a 117-101 win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night in Game 3 of their first-round series. Trent, who only started nine games this season, said he learned Thursday morning that he would be starting. “My mindset was simple — come in, play hard, and help us win. We knew losing this game would hurt us,” Trent said. He made two quick 3-pointers to give the Bucks an early lead — something they never had in their last game when they fell behind 2-0 in the series. Even after briefly leaving with a shin injury, Trent kept the Bucks in the game with his shooting. Despite his efforts, Milwaukee was down by 10 at halftime. But in the second half, Trent stayed hot, hitting three quick 3-pointers to tie the game and helping the Bucks take control as fans chanted his name. Trent shot 9-for-12 from thr...

Anfield Pressure: Liverpool Feels the Responsibility

Image
  Liverpool manager  Arne Slot  says his team has a “big responsibility” to win the club’s 20th league title. They only need one point against Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday to do it, after Arsenal drew with Crystal Palace. Liverpool last won the  Premier League in the 2019-20  season under Jurgen Klopp, but fans couldn’t be in the stadium due to Covid. They lifted the trophy in an empty Anfield after waiting 30 years for a top-flight title. Slot said the team knows how important Sunday’s game is. He hopes the fans will give strong support, as they’ve done all season, to help them get the point they still need. Tottenham haven’t won at Anfield since 2011 and have lost 18 league games this season. Their focus may be more on their Europa League semi-final against Bodo/Glimt next Thursday. Meanwhile, Liverpool have only lost twice in the league this season—just once at home—and they’ve picked up 41 points from 16 home games, the best record in the league. Slot Spea...

Real Madrid Gets Two Bad News Before Barcelona Match

Image
Real Madrid  has been struggling in El Clasico matches this season, losing badly in most of them against their rivals Barcelona. They lost the Spanish Super Cup to Barca and are currently 4 points behind them in the La Liga standings. If Real drops points in any upcoming matches, their hopes of winning the La Liga title this year could disappear. Now, both teams are set to meet in the Copa del Rey final — but Real has been hit with bad news before the big game. The  Copa del Rey final   between Real Madrid and Barcelona will take place on Saturday (April 26) at 2 a.m. Before that, Real won 1-0 against Getafe on Wednesday. After the match, coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed that two key players, David Alaba and Eduardo Camavinga, will miss the upcoming Clasico due to injuries. Alaba was taken off in the second half and replaced by Camavinga — but then Camavinga also got injured. He has been playing as a defensive midfielder, and sometimes even as a defender this season. In th...

Cavaliers Make History with NBA Record for 3-Pointers in a Quarter

Image
The  Cleveland Cavaliers   entered the NBA playoffs as one of four teams tied for the most 3-pointers in a quarter. On Wednesday night, they broke the record. In Game 2 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Miami Heat, the Cavaliers made 11 3-pointers in the second quarter, setting a new postseason record. Cleveland was 11 for 16 from three-point range in that period, jumping to a 68-51 lead at halftime after only leading by one point in the first quarter. The Cavaliers, who are the top seed, led by 19 late in the third quarter but had to hold off a Heat comeback to win 121-112 and take a 2-0 lead in the series. “We’ve had a lot of moments like that this year because we have highly skilled players that can shoot. Everybody was shooting,” said coach Kenny Atkinson. “It was beautiful to watch. We’ve got good passers, good connectors. There’s spacing and running and dirty work involved, and then the skill work takes over.” Max Strus  made three 3-pointer...

Arsenal Draw Again, Liverpool Move Closer to Title

Image
Are celebrations starting in Liverpool and at Anfield? They could be! The red ribbons might soon be back on the Premier League trophy. If Liverpool avoids a loss against Tottenham on the 29th, they will win the English league title once again. Things could’ve been settled even earlier if  Crystal Palace had beaten Arsenal.  But considering team strength, Arsenal were expected to win. Still, Palace managed a surprise 2-2 draw, even though Arsenal took the lead twice. Now, Arsenal has 67 points from 34 matches. Liverpool, with one game in hand, has 79 points. Even if Arsenal wins all their remaining games and Liverpool loses theirs, both teams would be level on points. But Liverpool has a much better goal difference, which gives them a clear edge. In simple terms, the title is now almost in Liverpool’s hands. Arsenal started strong at home against Crystal Palace. In just the 3rd minute,   Dzhakov Kiewors  scored with a header from an Odegaard free-kick. Palace pushed h...

Barcelona Stays on Top in La Liga After Tough Win

Image
Barcelona played without some of their main players , like Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, because of a busy schedule coming up. That’s why many regular starters were rested, and the coach made 7 changes from the last game. Even with a changed lineup, Barcelona played really well. They were very aggressive in attack and set a new La Liga record by taking 40 shots against Mallorca. But despite all those chances, they scored only one goal. Still, that was enough to win the match against Mallorca, who are currently 7th in the league. With this win, Barcelona is now 7 points ahead of Real Madrid, though Madrid still has one game left to play. Barcelona won 1-0 against Mallorca, but they were clearly the better team throughout the match. They had the ball 78% of the time and took 40 shots, with 13 of them on target. Mallorca did score once just before halftime, but the goal was canceled because the player was offside. Mallorca’s goalkeeper, Leo Roman , helped keep his team in the game by s...

Wisden Says ICC and Test Format Need Changes

Image
Wisden   editor Lawrence Booth called the World Test Championship a “mess pretending to be a top event.” In the latest edition of Wisden, Booth also criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC), especially Jay Shah’s move from BCCI secretary to ICC chairman in August. This happened while India refused to play their Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan, which was chosen as the host by the ICC. Booth wrote that the lack of reaction to Shah’s appointment showed how cricket lost its way in 2024, no longer run fairly for everyone. He added that India already had most of the power in cricket—and now they had it all. Booth spoke about the  World Test Championship (WTC) , saying it should last four years instead of two. Right now, the WTC runs for two years. Each team plays six series – three at home and three away. They get 12 points for a win, six for a tie, and four for a draw. But since teams play a different number of matches, the rankings are based on the percentage of poi...
